This exactly matches my experience. My late wife and I dropped into a tiny yakisoba joint. We were the only ones in there, and we sat at the bar/grill. The owner/chef had a mimeographed 'English' menu. We chose something and she cooked it up right in front of us while we 'chatted'. Her English was very limited, I had a semester of Japanese in graduate school forty years ago. It was delightful.

Reminds me of my many past business trips to Japan... where I never had a bad day or a bad meal!
