1
“I'm not sure how to order naturally in Japanese restaurants.” “The staff speak too fast…” “…or way too formally.” This lesson is for people like you.
2
From entering the restaurant to ordering food, we’ll practice how to speak naturally with the staff.
3
Hi everyone!
4
I’m Kana, your Japanese tutor.
5
In this lesson, I’ll introduce useful phrases for customers, and common expressions used by restaurant staff.
6
It’s perfect for people living in Japan or traveling here.
7
This lesson has 3 steps.
8
Step 1: Listen to a sample conversation.
9
Step 2: Review the phrases together.
10
Step 3: Practice with shadowing and role play.
11
Ready? Okay, let’s start with step 1.
12
How much can you understand in this dialogue?
13
Let’s listen.
14
Welcome! When the staff greets you with “Irasshaimase,” just like when you nod, slightly bow your head.
15
You don’t need to bow deeply.
16
Just like this.
17
How many in your party?
18
Two people.
19
“Mei” is a polite way to count people: one, two, three.
20
It’s formal Japanese.
21
Staff make it even more polite by saying “-mei sama.” Adding “sama.” But when you say it yourself, don’t add “sama.” Just say, “2(ni) mei.” “3(san) mei.” Two people.
22
Two people, got it.
23
“Oseki go-annai shimasu.” Here, “seki” means table.
24
And “annai suru” means the staff will guide you to your table.
25
When the staff says “goannai shimasu”, you just follow the staff.
26
I'll take you to your table.
27
Okay. Please take any seat you like.
28
Okay. “Osuki na oseki e doozo.” This is another common phrase.
29
It means, “Please sit anywhere you like.” Any free table is fine.
30
Another phrase you’ll hear is… “Aite iru oseki e doozo.” This means “empty” "There is no one" So, “Any empty table is okay.” That’s what it means.
31
Please take any seat you like.
32
Okay. Here’s the menu.
33
Thank you. I’ll bring you some water in a moment.
34
Ah, thank you.
35
“Ohiya” is a polite way to say cold water.
36
Staff often use this word with customers.
37
As a customer, you can say “mizu” or “ohiya.” Both are fine.
38
In restaurants in Japan, this water is usually free.
39
The staff will bring it to your table.
40
Or they might say, “Water is self-service.” In that case, go to the water station yourself, fill a glass, and bring it back to your table.
41
I’ll bring you some water in a moment.
42
Ah, thank you.
43
Here is your water.
44
Ah, thank you.
45
Please call me when you’re ready to order.
46
Okay. "Gochuumon okimarini narimashitara oyobikudasai" (Please call me when you are ready to order.) Here’s another common phrase.
47
“When you’re ready to order, please call me.” It means: “Say ‘sumimasen’ to call me.” Please call me when you’re ready to order.
48
Okay. Excuse me!
49
Yes? Can I order?
50
Yes, I’ll take your order.
51
“O-ukagai shimasu” is a polite way to say “I’ll ask.” When you’re ready to order, just say “Sumimasen,” and the staff will come.
52
Then you can say, “Chuumon ii desu ka?” meaning “Can I order?” It's nice and polite.
53
Excuse me, can I order?
54
If the staff asks, “Gochuumon okimari desu ka?” You can just say, “Yes, please.” That means, "Have you decided?" Excuse me?
55
Yes? Can I order?
56
Yes, I'll take your order.
57
One miso ramen and...
58
also one shoyu ramen.
59
Also, one order of gyoza, please.
60
one order of gyoza, please.
61
When ordering, say the food or drink name, plus the number: “one,” “two,” “three.” And finish with “onegaishimasu” to be polite.
62
If the name is too hard to say, just point at the menu.
63
This one, please.
64
Also, one order of gyoza, please.
65
Okay. Would you like something to drink?
66
“Ikaga deshou ka.” This is the same as “Ikaga desu ka?” or “Dou desu ka?”(How about~?) It’s more polite, so staff often use it.
67
Here it means, “Would you like/need something to drink?” “Would you like something to drink?” Okay, then one draft beer, please.
68
Certainly. “Okay, then one draft beer, please.” The staff asked about drinks, so "What am I gonna drink?" you think a little.
69
In Japanese, we often say “Jaa” while you are thinking.
70
If you don’t want a drink, you can say, “ya, omizude daijyoobu desu(No, just water is fine.)” Or, “omizu de ii desu.” Or, “ya, daijyoobudesu(I’m okay.)” That works too.
71
Okay. Would you like something to drink?
72
“Okay, then one draft beer, please.” Certainly.
73
Will that be all for your order?
74
Yes, that’s all.
75
“Gochoomon wa ijyoo de yoroshii desuka?" (Is that all?) That’s what it means.
76
You can just say, “Hai ijyoode”(Yes, that's all.) Will that be all for your order?
77
Yes, that's all.
78
Okay. Let me confirm your order.
79
One shoyu ramen.
80
One miso ramen.
81
One order of gyoza.
82
And one draft beer for your drink.
83
Is everything correct?
84
Yes, that’s right.
85
“Ijou de omachigai nai deshoo ka?” means "There's no mistake?" “Is this order correct?” If it’s right, just say “hai”(Yes) or “Hai, daijyoobudesu”(Yes, there's no problem.) Both are okay.
86
Is everything correct?
87
Yes, that’s right.
88
Okay. Thank you.
89
Let's review key phrases that you can use when you order.
90
Excuse me, can I order?
91
One order of gyoza, please.
92
This one, please.
93
That's all.
94
How was it?
95
How was it?
96
We practiced everything from entering a restaurant to placing an order.
97
Do you think you can go to restaurants with a little bit of more confidence?
98
Check the description for more practice.

Have a nice day!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
