Yes, certainly. No cilantro, got it.
Gesture & etiquette
Look at the menu, then make eye contact with the staff.
Be polite. If you have severe allergies, it's better to carry an allergy card in Japanese or use a translation app to explain fully. Just saying 'nuki' (omit) is for dislike or mild intolerance.
