You(the customer) are walking into a restaurant.<\/em><\/p>\n

Restaurant Host: Welcome! How many?
\nYou:Just myself.
\nRestaurant Host:Just yourself? This way, please.
\nWaitress:Please take the menu.<\/p>\n

After a few minutes,<\/em><\/p>\n

You:I would like to ask you a quick question. What is “Katsu-don”?
\nWaitress:It is a bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet.
\nYou:Oh I see. I will take that, please.
\nWaitress:What would you like to drink?
\nYou:Green tea, please.
\nWaitress:Yes, sure.<\/p>\n

Waitress brings the dish.<\/em><\/p>\n

Waitress:Here is the Katsu-don and green tea.
\nYou:Excuse me, may I please have a water also?
\nwaitress:Yes, sure.
\nYou:Thank you.<\/p>\n

\uff5eYou are almost done eating.~<\/em><\/p>\n

Waitress:How was the Katsu-don?
\nYou:It was delicious.
\nWaitress:Would you like to order a desert?
\nYou:Yes, pudding, please.
\nWaitress:Yes, sure.<\/p>\n

\uff5eYou are done with your desert.~<\/em><\/p>\n

You:Check, please.
\nWaitess:Here it is.
\nYou:Thank you. I enjoyed the food.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, there is no need to tip in Japan. \u00a0Also, in Japan, most of the time, the price on the menu includes tax so the price you see on the menu will be the price you would be paying at the end. \u00a0As long as you know these basic expressions, I promise you would be able to walk into a restaurant in Japan!<\/p>\n
