Hey, I really like this place. It’s cool! Yes, I love it here. Have a look at the menu. OK, but I don’t understand what the dishes are. Don’t worry Andy, I’ll help you to choose. Thanks. For a starter we can have Yasai Gyoza. What’s that? Vegetable dumplings. Then for a main course, there’s sushi. It’s small pieces of fresh, raw fish on rice. Raw fish?! No, I won’t have that. What about Nabeyaki Udon? It’s noodles with chicken or shrimps. That sounds nice. I’ll have that. Are you ready to order? Will you order Kyoko? I don’t think I can pronounce the names. OK. So, we’ll have Yasai Gyoza as a starter. For a main course, I’ll have sushi and he’ll have Nabeyaki Udon. And to drink? We’ll have a bottle of mineral water and some green tea while we wait. Thanks. OK. Thank you very much. Word check
Waiter Would you like a dessert? Kyoko No, thanks. We won’t have anything else. Andy Can we have the bill, please? Waiter Yes, sure. Just a second.
