A table for two, please
Neutral Polite
What it really means
What you say when you arrive at a restaurant without a booking. Staff may ask "Have you booked?" — just say "No, is there a table for two?" Wait to be seated if there is a sign saying so.
Chinese explanation
没订位直接到餐厅时说的话。店员可能问"Have you booked?"（订位了吗），回答"No, is there a table for two?"即可。门口如有"请等候安排入座"的牌子就先等着。
