Some must know Japanese phrases when eating at a Japanese restaurant.

So as you guys know, I'm always doing Japanese food videos for my channel.

And often I get asked in the comment section.

But how do I order at a restaurant?

Or how do I say this in Japanese?

So I'm going to do in this video is break down all of the Japanese phrases you need to know when you first enter the Japanese restaurant when you're sitting down and when you're leaving.

And don't worry, I'm gonna try to keep it as simple as possible.

I'm gonna shorten some of the Japanese, so it's easy to remember making it super easy for you to get the food you want at a Japanese restaurant.

But before we continue, I wanted to give a quick thank you to our sponsor.

I taki.

I talk is an online language learning platform that introduces teachers and students together where you can have a one on one lesson anywhere in the world, which is perfect for those of you coming to Japan for the first time who don't really know the language but I want to practice it before you come to Japan.

So when you get here, you can use all of the phrases you learned at home.

In fact, you can use the phrase is you learn in this video and practice with a teacher online.

I know.

For me it's made a world of difference being Japan and learning a language.

This is kind of like the next best thing if you're not in Japan, but you still want to practice your Japanese, so it's actually pretty easy to use.

All you need to do is register.

Then choose a teacher.

You can actually see teacher profiles.

You can see video introductions as well as reviews from previous students.

Personally, what I like the most, though, is that it's super convenient.

You don't have to travel.

You don't need to leave your house.

You can do it all online so you can learn a language from the comfort of your own home.

All right, let's continue with the video number one.

How many people.

So when you first enter a Japanese restaurant, the first thing they're gonna ask you is how many people in your party or your group?

But you might not know what that sounds like.

So here it is.

They'll say, not made someone Jessica or Nanny Jessica.

And the easiest way to answer this is you don't even need any Japanese phrases, so you could just signal with your hand 123 or however many people you have in your group Simple, right.

But to make this as authentic as possible, let's get a real Japanese person to help us.

And who better to ask other than Mike?

Oh, hi Eso Michael, How do you say how many Japanese people?

Uh, a number two.

Do you accept credit cards?

Now?

Japan is still very much a cash based society, especially when it comes to mom and pop shops.

So if you're blending to use a credit card, then you should definitely ask if they accept credit cards.

So you say it like this Kado Kado means a credit card, and sky Muska cannot use.

And if you want to keep it really simple, you could just say Kado.

Okay?

I'll probably understand what you're asking.

Number three.

Do you have an English menu?

Now you can use this phrase when your first entering the restaurant or when you sit down.

More than likely, they won't have an English menu, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

So you say it like this.

Go.

So go means English Menu means menu And Ali Muska means do you have number four?

Do you serve vegetarian food?

Do you serve vegan food or do you serve halal food?

So I know some of you have some strict diet.

So I wanted to include this for you guys.

So you say it like this busy area they all means accommodate.

So when you're asking, Yoshi Mosca means, do you accommodate four for a different diet?

Just replace vegetarian would say vegan or hello, Hana.

Also something worth noting about vegans and vegetarians or halal food.

It's something that's still quite rare in Japan.

So if a restaurant does accommodate for this type of diet, then more than likely they're gonna have a sign at the front of the restaurant or at the least, on the menu.

So, basically, if you don't see a sign, then more than likely, they're not gonna have it.

And if you ask them personally and they give you kind of like a blank stare and they probably don't even know that that diet exists, so just be aware of that.

Number five this, please.

Now, if you're lucky, some restaurants have pictures on the menu, which makes it super simple, or sometimes they even have plastic models in front of the restaurant.

In this case, you could just point what you want, and you don't even need to use Japanese.

But if you want to know how to say this, please, here's how you say it like that.

Could a number six.

What's your recommendation now?

This is a simple trick that I use sometimes when there's just way too much Japanese on the menu.

I just asked what's your recommendation and ordered that this is how you say it.

Nan Dez car.

Oh, this is a man on this car.

So Susan means recommendation.

You can even simplify it by just saying, Oh, Susan, may what?

When you raise your intonation like that, it's kind of like a question mark.

So if you say Oh, Susannah they know it's a question number seven.

How much does this cost?

We all want another price, right?

This is how you say it.

What is going on?

This car.

Oy, Gouda.

This car we could.

Jessica.

So you say.

Oh, you could have Esca, but always kind of like an honorific.

So if you want to really, really short, you could just say you could have Esca or if you want to get it really, really short.

You could just say you coulda and just raise your intonation at the end.

But just a fair warning.

It does sound a little bit rude.

When you shorten this much, they'll get what you're saying.

But when you're shortening all your phrases, you do sometimes sound a little bit rude.

Number eight, I have a shrimp allergy, So I know some of you have allergies.

And so I wanted to include this race, especially for you.

A letter g days, a lot of days.

So basically all you have to say is what you are allergic to, and then a do g s at the end of it.

Simple days, A B.

And if you wanted to replace shrimp with egg then you would just say Tamargo.

How did it get this?

If I didn't cover your specific allergy, then all you have to do is look it up in the dictionary and plop it into the phrase.

So the thing is in Japan, people don't know what allergy means.

So to say it in Japanese, you have to say I there do G mango Dukie be not at a druggie.

Good, Damn lucky Number nine is there.

Meeting this.

Quote it.

Yeah.

Hi there.

Must cough.

Quote it.

Hi, I think is kind of similar to the allergy.

But if people don't have an allergy and they just don't want to simply eat something, then this is how you say it.

Tha tha tha So we use you don't actually need to say it.

You can just leave that out and you can just say hi.

Mosca.

Mosca, Number 10.

Police.

Take this out.

Now, if you see something on the menu that you want to eat But you don't like one of the ingredients, then you can ask to see if you can get it removed.

More than likely, they're going to say no, or they're not gonna want to remove it, but just wanted to tell you guys that sprays just in case.

So let's use shrimp as our example.

Maybe not today when you guys mass beat.

No, she that or near guys Sheamus a bi national day when you guys must.

So basically Nashi means none or zero.

So when you say baby, which means shrimp, you say Nashi right next to it He means zero shrimp or no shrimp and then on the guy she must at the end just makes it more polite again.

You can make a shorter by not having the guy she must at the end every night she a little rude, but the understand what you're talking about.

Number 11 is this spicy?

Now I love spicy food and I know you guys love spicy food from watching my videos.

So I definitely had to include this phrase courageous ca karate this'll car So the world could I means spicy.

So if you ever see this anywhere on the menu, then you know that that dish is going to be spicy.

Conductor Dickie Mosca means can you make it spicy?

Dickie Muska means are you able to do it or Can you make it?

Number 12?

Can I have some water?

Or even better?

Can I have some beer?

Could a site?

I mean, that's I So basically Oh, Mizzou means water could assign means please.

So all you're saying is water, please.

And the same thing goes for beer, beer, and Japanese is actually bto.

And when you say be Dooku Desai, it means beer, Please.

E be could a site number 13?

Excuse me?

So what?

You'll find in a lot of music I A restaurants in Japan and sushi restaurants or whatever.

But when you're at the table, it's actually customary to call him the server by yelling at them, saying, Excuse me.

Sometimes they will have bills that you can press and they'll come for you.

But sometimes they won't actually come to your table unless you yell out.

Excuse me, at which point they will come.

You just need to know how to say it or else they may never come to your table.

Here's how you say Excuse me in Japanese.

For some reason, I have, like, a really quiet voice every time I say seamless and no one ever hears me and I have to yell it so many times.

And Michael just says it once and they come, so I don't know.

I think you really need to have a higher pitch voice for them to hear you.

Number 14.

Check, please.

So when you're finally leaving the restaurant, you're gonna want to get the check.

So depending on the store, you're gonna have to sometimes ask for the check, while other times you could just go pay at the register.

Now, in the case where you actually need to ask for the check, this is how you say it.

Okay?

Got it.

Okay.

Or near, guys.

Seamus.

Okay, So cocky means Bill and only guys.

You must means please.

So, Bill, please.

Simple right.

Number 15.

Thank you for the meal.

So it's actually customary when you're leaving the restaurant or you're finishing your meal to say thank you for the meal.

So when they finish their meal or they're walking out of the restaurant, you'll hear them say this e coaches Osama this, but saw some of this.

In fact, you also hear this when people finish up their meals.

Essentially, it's just a sign telling people that you're leaving and also just kind of a kind way to say thank you for the meal.
