That Little Card Owns the Table
To say reserved table in Japanese, say 予約席 (yoyaku-seki).
You put your bag on the chair. That little card means the table isn't yours.
予約席
yoyaku-seki
reserved table
In this video
- 予約席です。 Yoyaku-seki desu. This is a reserved table.
Why this phrase
Sign decode, solo. The tent card on one restaurant table says 予約席, reserved for someone else. It isn't the phrase for having a booking, and it isn't a whole restaurant bought out. Sit anyway and the room watches them walk you off it.
