English For Japanese

Ordering food in English becomes easier when you learn the entire sequence: get a table, ask about the menu, state dietary needs, order clearly, respond to follow-up questions, request something during the meal, and pay. Politeness comes from tone and flexible phrases such as Could I …? , not from making every sentence long.

Restaurant vocabulary is most useful when grouped by the choices you must make. These 60 words cover places, courses, ingredients, dietary needs, taste, tableware, and payment. Practice them inside requests and questions so you can understand follow-ups from a server.
