Japanese restaurant phrases: ordering, allergies, the bill
From asking for a table to paying: how to order, say what you cannot eat, and ask for the bill.
These are the phrases of the Basic level of PAIdojo's Japanese textbook, written in kana with romaji, the way that level teaches them. Tap ▶︎ to listen, or the turtle to hear it slowly.
A word in a tinted box is only an example — put in the word you need.
