پرسش‌های متداول

Do Japanese restaurants really require phone reservations?

Yes, many popular restaurants in Japan — especially small sushi, kaiseki, and izakaya places — still only accept reservations by phone, even when they appear on Google Maps or Tabelog. Online booking via OpenTable or the restaurant's website is rare outside major chains and hotel restaurants.

Can the restaurant tell I'm using a translator?

They will hear natural-sounding Japanese. AI Call uses voice cloning so the translated voice carries your tone and rhythm, not a robotic text-to-speech voice. Most restaurants simply treat it as a normal phone call.

What if the restaurant speaks fast or uses keigo?

AI Call handles polite business Japanese (keigo) and fast speech fine. If you miss something, you can see the live transcript on your screen and ask them to repeat — the translator will translate your follow-up too.

How much does it cost to call Japan from abroad with AI Call?

AI Call is free to download. New users get one free translated call of up to 2 minutes (to US, Canada or UK numbers); after that, calls — including calls to Japan — use credits from a subscription or credit pack.

What information should I have ready before dialing?

Have your name, number of guests, preferred date and time, and a callback phone number ready. Some restaurants may also ask for dietary restrictions or specific seat preferences (counter vs. table).
