How can we figure out if a restaurant is Japanese speaker only before entering?

Hi all! It’s the third day of our Kyoto itinerary. I checked some restaurants from tabelog and wanted to go one of them today. Anyway we waited for opening hours around 40 mins and we went to inside and stuffs throw some looks to us like “why are they here”. At the end another one came to us and asked “ Do you speak Japanese”. I mean we can give order in Japanese but no we don’t. We say “no” to her and she showed us the door. And there were 2 tourists too, they asked “why” and the stuff said “no, japanese only” and close the door. I will not ask if it’s normal or not. Because it’s their choice but there is no sign or note anything. And I am a bit upset because my partner is working at evenings so we didn’t have time to wait another queue and we bought onigiris from 7/11 🥲 they are good tho… anyway I want to learn from you if there is any trick to figure out this early. Thank you!
