Konnichi what's up! NINJAPAN NEWS desu!
Today, we are going to learn how you can order and ask some questions at a restaurant in Japanese.
OK, let's get started!
First, let's watch this video.
Welcome!
How many people?
Two people.
Understood.
I'll show you to your seat.
This way, please.
Futari desu.
For two.
Kashikomarimashita.
Surely.
Oseki ni goannai itashimasu.
I'll take you to the table.
Kochira e douzo.
Please come this way.
Irasshaimase means welcome.
So you don't really have to say anything.
You can just bow.
Nanmeisama desu ka?
is the very polite way to ask you for how many.
So if you are alone, you can say
Hitori desu.
If you are with your friend, you can say
Futari desu.
San nin desu.
Yo nin desu.
Go nin desu.
I have made a video about how to count people in Japanese,
so if you haven't watched this video or haven't memorized them,
please check this video as well.
Next, order.
All right, you are already at a table,
so what you will do next is order, right?
But it's your first time to come to the restaurant,
so it will take you some time to decide what to eat.
For me, I am very yūjū fudan.
It means I always need some time to decide my choice.
So when a staff asks you if you are ready to order,
you wanna say,
Ah, not yet, right?
In this case, you can use this.
Go chūmon wa okimari deshou ka?
Are you ready to order?
Mada desu.
Not yet.
Mō sukoshi matte itadakemasu ka?
Can we get another minute?
If it's still difficult for you to decide what to eat,
you can ask recommendation.
Please use this phrase.
Sumimasen.
Osusume wa nan desu ka?
Hai, osusume wa kochira no karaage to okonomiyaki de gozaimasu.
Sumimasen.
Excuse me.
Osusume wa nan desu ka?
What do you recommend?
Osusume wa
I'll recommend.
I know you are learning Japanese,
so you try to read the menu in Japanese.
But if it's difficult for you,
you can ask if they have English menu.
Please use this phrase.
Eigo no menu wa arimasu ka?
Do you have an English menu?
Alright, finally you are ready to order.
Let's watch how to order food and drinks in Japanese.
Sumimasen.
Chūmon onegaishimasu.
