I would definitely take more than my equal share. I don't know that I would go all the way up to 1/4 (because that seems like a lot when you are sharing). But I would definitely take more than 1/8 right off the bat.

I think it depends on a few things. I have a group at work where we go to this popular Chinese restaurant together and we order family style. Some people are vegetarians, so I'd expect them to eat more of the non-meat stuff we order. Last time we went there was one guy that didn't really like spicy stuff so a dish was ordered just for him. I expected him to take as much as he wanted, and other people could eat whatever was left.

I think if for whatever reason you're not big on all of the food and something in particular is ordered for you, you should take whatever you want of it. If it's just that you like it, then maybe a little more than everyone else?

I'm a vegetarian so family style dining (also tapas) can be tricky. My strategy is that I say from the onset, dish xyz is all I can eat, so I'm ordering this just for me/I'm not sharing. I think unless you make that clear, people will side eye if you eat more than everyone else.

I would take a little and ask before I took more. I just try to be polite
