The only caveat is vending machine restaurants. You have to order. Some will have photos, many will not. Even if they have photos it will be only for the main items (like which ramen), not for the sides or drinks (like orange juice).
You can usually tell by the price which is a main and which is a side.

I also found bbq an issue, as there are so many types of skewers. And Chinese places.
