IS THIS SENTENCE CORRECT IN JAPANESE?

Question:


There are 6 restaurants. These restaurants sells Mexican food, Chinese food, Pizza, and Donuts. I am not talking about each one sell the same thing, but like one sells mexican food, another sell pizza, and etc.

resutoran ga muttsu arimasu. mekishiko ryoriya to chuugoku ryoriya to pizaya to donatsuya ga arimasu.

Do not tell me that I have to use "rokuken" because it will sound like I did not make up the sentence. Also can you show me what the ryoriya looks like in Hiragana? No Kanji Please!!!

Answer:


>resutoran ga muttsu arimasu.
You have to use "ten" or "ken" when you are counting a store or restaurant. So it must be "resutoran ga rokken arimasu"

>mekishiko ryoriya to chuugoku ryoriya to pizaya to donatsuya ga arimasu.
Chinese food is "chuka ryori" in Japanese.

And we do not have "donuts restaurant" in Japan. Just donuts store. So it's not natural to include donuts in a restaurant list.
