When I leave Japanese sushi bars, the sushi chef's always say their goodbyes in japanese, but it sounds more like "See you in da showa"
Anyone ever heard this?
What exactly are they saying?

I'm a Japanese high school student.
I have no idea what that word mean exactly...
In sushi bar in Japan, the chef often says...
"ma-i-do-a-ri" (Thank you)
"ma-ta-o-ko-shi-ku-da-sa-i" (Please visit here again)
"a-zaa-shi-ta"
(=a-ri-ga-to-u-go-za-i-ma-shi-ta ) as calling out.
...just for reference.

Which sushi bars do you go? in America?
They say "maido ari" pronounced like "my dough a lee" in Japan.

The term "sayonara" is good-bye, but my understanding of it is it is very final, as in death. Although I suppose if it is just at a sushi bar, that is pretty final. They could also be saying "Oyasuminasai" or some form of that, meaning good night.

They may be saying onegaishimasu! It's a very polite say of saying thank you.
