What would you like to order?

I'd like to order Japanese dishes, if possible. If it isn't possible, is there anything that uses fish?

I'd like to order Japanese dishes, if possible. If it isn't possible, is there anything that includes fish?

1. The word "includes" is more natural than "uses" when referring to a dish that contains a particular ingredient.
Of course. We have a few Japanese dishes available. If you'd prefer fish, we also have grilled salmon and a fish set meal. You can take a look at the board over there.

That's nice. I'll try that set meal. Does the set include miso soup? And how and where should I make the payment? This is my first time using this cafeteria.

That's nice. I'll try that set meal. Does the set include miso soup? Also, how and where should I make the payment? This is my first time using this cafeteria.

1. When writing, avoid using the conjunctions “and”, “but”, and “so” to start sentences. Use the adverb "Also" here instead.
We have a set meal that comes with miso soup, but it doesn't include fish. If you'd like, you can order miso soup separately. Our Set B, which comes with grilled salmon, rice, and watermelon for dessert, is our bestseller. You can pay in cash or online here.

I understand. In that case, I will add miso soup to the set. Do you know how much they are?

I understand. In that case, I will add miso soup to the set. Do you know how much it is?

1. I assume you are referring to the miso soup, which is a single item. We use the singular pronoun "it" and a corresponding singular verb ("is") for a single item.
Certainly. The miso soup is an additional 100 yen with the set meal. Would you like to pay for everything together at the counter?

Yes, I'll pay in cash here. By the way, does the menu change daily?

Yes, I'll pay in cash here. By the way, does the menu change daily?

1. Here is an alternative expression: "every day".
Yes, our menu changes daily, so you can enjoy different dishes each day. It’s a nice way to discover new meals. If you could choose one dish to add to tomorrow’s menu, what would you recommend?

Thanks. I'd like you to add Japanese noodles like udon, soba, and ramen.
