travel blog, minus the bull$hit

If you’re an anxious person like me that needs to look up how to act right at restaurants, this literal step by step guide is for you.

1. Order your ramen/add-ons/drinks and pay at the vending machine
2. Wait for booth availability (would be a green dot in a sea of red on the seating board during busy hours), one of the staff will likely give you the order paper to customize your meal
3. Sit your ass down
4. Put the order sheet on the table near the booth window
5. Bamboo curtain comes up, order sheet gets taken, bamboo curtain comes down
6. Bamboo curtain comes up, ramen comes out, bamboo curtain comes down
7. EAT
8. Serve yourself water with the tap at every booth
9. If you want extra noodles or any other add ons you can either place the “kae-dama” plate up front or use the extra order form that should be on the back of the chopstick wrapping paper push that call button and pay in cash in case you didn’t include extra noodles in your initial order at the machine
10. Literally just leave when you’re done
