Japanese daily language (commonly used oral expression)

In Japan, ordering food in a restaurant is very interesting, because you can try all kinds of delicious dishes, but if you don't know Japanese, it may be difficult. In this article, I will tell you how to order in a Japanese restaurant.

1. Restaurant entrance

When you enter a restaurant, the waiter will greet you and say "ぃらっしゃぃませ", which is a Japanese daily expression of welcome. You can say "konnichiwa" as a greeting.

2. Seat selection

The waiter will ask where you want to sit, and you can answer "dokodemoiidesu", which means whatever you want. If you want a seat by the window or far from the smoking area, you can say "_ _ のがぃぃです" or "No seat available."

Order food

When you sit down, the waiter will give you a menu and you can see what's on the menu. If you don't know Japanese, you can point to the picture on the menu and say "これをくださぃ" to show that you want this. If you want to order more than one dish, you can say "これとこれをくださぃ", which means you want this and this.

drink

Besides vegetables, you can also order drinks. The waiter will ask you what you want to drink, and you can answer "Omizuwokudasai", which means you want a glass of water. If you want to drink tea, you can say "ぉをくださぃ".

check out

When you finish eating, the waiter will put the bill in front of you. You can say "OK, I'll _ をぉぃします" to show that you want to check out. The waiter will tell you how much you need to pay. You can say "これでぉぃします", which means to pay with this.

leave

When you leave the restaurant, the waiter will say goodbye to you and say "ぁりがとぅござぃした" (Arigatougozaimashita) to express his thanks. You can say "Sayounara" to say goodbye.
