About MenuLens: Read Japanese Menus
Understand Japanese restaurant menus with a photo.
MenuLens helps English-speaking travelers explore unfamiliar dishes and order with more confidence.
HOW IT WORKS
• Take a photo of a Japanese menu or upload one from your device.
• View detected dish names, English translations and prices.
• Open individual dish guides with concise English explanations.
• Generate clearly labeled AI reference visuals to help you understand what a dish may look like.
• Display a simple Japanese ordering card to show restaurant staff.
• Save and revisit dishes you previously revealed.
FREE PLAN AND MENULENS PACK
MenuLens includes a monthly free allowance of 10 menu scans and 3 AI dish visuals.
If you need more, you can purchase a MenuLens Pack through Google Play. Each one-time purchase adds:
• 100 additional menu scans
• 30 additional AI dish visuals
Pack credits carry forward until used. MenuLens Pack is not a subscription and does not renew automatically. The price available in your country or region is shown inside the app.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
MenuLens uses OCR and AI, so results may occasionally be incomplete or incorrect. AI-generated visuals are references only; the actual dish may look different.
Ingredients, preparation methods, prices and allergens vary between restaurants. If you have allergies or dietary requirements, always confirm directly with restaurant staff before ordering.
An internet connection is required for menu analysis and AI visual generation.
