For the Sims 3 Store Item(s) Itadakimasu! Japanese Inspired Dining...Is this a venue that my Sims can eat at? Or just the items to create my own restaurant/venue? If I was to create a Japanese Inspired Restaurant and take my Sims there would they be able to order food/eat there without any additional Expansions or Store Items? I know the Bistro from The Sims 3 store adds additional game play by giving you a restaurant and the ability to order food...but what about this Japanese set?

No lot or building is included.
If I was to make my own restaurant does it function as a restaurant?
I think you need to be controlling the sim to use the grill unless NPC's use it as well but I don't think so. Either way, there is no "order" option like in the Bistro set. It functions like the woodfire oven that comes with Monte Vista.
There are some sets that include stoves/ovens that produce a chef/waiter. The two that come to mind are the Deliciously Indulgent Bakery Venue NRAAS Cupcake mod helps this function.
A bakery I built using this set.
This thread from the Store section covers it fairly thoroughly.

And there is the 'Business as Usual Bistro' with the Bakers Oven and Menu that produces a chef. I've never run either as a business but have used them to send sims out for meals or to buy food to take home.
This pic is of another bakery, but I used both sets here. The Bakers Oven and the Bakery set. The chef you see in the picture was produced by the Bakers Oven Bistro Set Stove and Menu from the Business as Usual Bistro.
I believe there is a mod that will produce a separate waiter. As it comes from the store only one sim is produced to do both the Chef and Waiter roles.
If you have Into the Future Expansion there is a fridge sort of thing - forget what it's called now - that will produce a waiter if you place it on a community lot.
This is a pic of the waiter produced by the Into the Future fridge
I have placed the grill from Itadakimasu set on a community lot but it doesn't produce a chef. You sim can go there and cook on it though.

I think the grill looks really cool, but I don't think it will be worth it for me.
It's best to get it while it's at the DD rotation.

Yes, hungry NPC's will use it to make their own food, but there is no chef that cooks for everyone else, like with other stove items.
