Order in Japanese restaurant

1. See if the restaurant has an online menu.
If it does, print it off and show it to people you know so they can perhaps explain it to you.

2. Ask about prices. To do this, you say 'Kore wa ikura desu ka?'
(pronounced korei wa ikura des ka?), which means "How much does this cost?"

3. Learn numbers (so you will understand what they say):
ichi-1 ni-2 san-3 yon-4 go-5 roku-6 nana-7 hachi-8 kyu-9 ju-10 hyaku-100 sen-1000.

4. When you have ordered and received your food,
if you are asked 'Daijobu desu ka?', answer 'Hai'.
You were asked 'Is everything ok?' and you replied 'Yes'.

5. Do not pass food between your chopsticks; this looks like you are in a funeral.
If you really have to pass some food, do it discreetly and with the non-eating end of your chopsticks (if they are decorated, this is the decorated end).

6. If you are eating noodles, slurp; it's polite.

7. Don't stick your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice.

6. Say 'itadakimasu' before eating; this means "I receive this meal".

7. To express your pleasure at the end of the meal,
say 'Gochisoosama deshita' meaning "It was a feast."
'Oishikata desu' means "It was tasty
