Walking Into a Tiny Tokyo Restaurant? Say THIS First

To say Menu, please in Japanese, say メニューをください (Menyū o kudasai).

Many Tokyo izakaya don't hand you a menu — they wait for you to ask. Here's the line that unlocks the whole meal.

メニューをください Menyū o kudasai Menu, please

すみません、メニューをください。 Sumimasen, menyū o kudasai. Excuse me, menu please.
メニューをください。 Menyū o kudasai. Menu, please.

Why this phrase

HQ covers ordering ('kore kudasai', 'kore ni shimasu') but never the prerequisite: getting the menu. Many tiny Tokyo restaurants seat you and wait — 'Menyū o kudasai' is the line that unlocks everything else. A real gap in the ordering survival chain.
