That's probably true, but nevertheless *some* do it just in
Japanese, and I hate it.

I used to go a Chinese Restaurant here in Tucson (now closed)
that had two separate menus--one in English, the other in
Chinese--with different things on them. One evening I took the
Chinese menu home with me and mailed it to my sister-in-law, who
is Chinese. She translated it, wrote in the English names and
mailed it back to me. From then on, whenever I went to the place,
I brought my own menu.
