In Blade Runner 2049, I don't recall cityspeak being used at all, and the scene with Gaff being interviewed by the new Blade Runner is entirely in English.
The sushi chef is the only one who doesn't realize exactly what's going on. Or maybe he does and he's playing along to have some fun at both their expenses.
