Complete Guide to Using Korean Restaurants

Korean restaurant culture has many differences from foreign countries. If you know in advance, you won’t be surprised. From entrance to ordering, sit at an empty table on your own: most restaurants don’t have staff to guide you. Just sit at an empty table. Order by bell or loud voice: press the table bell (call button) or call out “Excuse me!” Kiosk: many restaurants only take orders through kiosks. Look at menu photos and select a number. Side dish culture: Korean restaurants provide basic side dishes (kimchi, seasoned vegetables, etc.) for free. You can request additional ones.
