Neutral and polite. It's perfect for ordering another dish or drink in a restaurant. If you want to specify "one more of these", you can point or gesture.

Pro tip: While "一个" literally means "one (of something)", here it functions as a general request for "one more" of whatever is implied, often what you just had.
