You might wait forever because you couldn't flag down the waiter, accidentally order something you're allergic to, or commit a major chopstick taboo without realizing it. This book covers everything from getting seated with 何名様ですか (how many people?) to paying the bill with お会計お願いします, plus the crucial dining phrases in between.
