The situation you described can be attributed mostly to the Bang Bang Shrimp. It is a great dish. And it appears sufficient for sharing. The problem is, it is a great dish, and you know it, and you want it all for yourself. See?
If you ordered a salad appetizer or worse, the edamame dish, no one would have taken you up on your offer.
So you need to lay the law down, "I'm gonna have a Bang Bang. See? I love the Bang Bang. That's why I picked this restaurant. See? So if you want a delicious mouthwatering appetizer, I suggest you order one too. See?
Because I want every one of my Bang Bangs. So don't say I didn't warn you. Any question?"
And then when the waitress comes you reiterate, that you want one, and you invite the waitress to vouch for you how damn good the Bang Bang dish is, and she will, and she can then either take the orders for a others, or she can serve as your witness that you did all you could to convince others that they would be missing out.
Conversely, you could just take the high road, and order two. One for yourself, and one for the table.
PS- I think they are offered at half price on Wed evening.
