Two people, please.

Upon entering, staff will ask 'How many?'. Don't panic. Just show your fingers and say this. (1=Han myeong, 2=Du myeong, 3=Se myeong)

메뉴 추천해 주세요.
me-nyu chu-chun-hae ju-se-yo
Please recommend a menu item.
Tasty Tip
Many Korean menus are only in Hangul. No photos? Translation app failing? Trust the staff and ask this. They will tell you the most popular (Best) dish.
기타 표현
이거 하나 주세요.
ee-guh ha-na ju-se-yo
Please give me one of this.
Tasty Tip
Can't read the menu item? Just point at it and say this! 'I-geo' (This) is a magic word. Change 'Ha-na' to 'Du-gae' if you want two.
기타 표현
덜 맵게 해 주세요.
dull maep-ge hae ju-se-yo
Please make it less spicy.
Tasty Tip
Never trust a Korean saying 'It's not spicy'. To them, it's mild; to you, it might be fire. Say 'An maep-ge' for zero spice, or 'Deol maep-ge' for less spice.
기타 표현
반찬 좀 더 주세요.
ban-chan jom duh ju-se-yo
Please give me more side dishes.
Tasty Tip
The highlight of Korean dining! Kimchi and side dishes are usually 'Free' and 'Unlimited'. Hold up your empty plate and ask. (Note: Water is often self-service!)

Tasty Tip
Done eating? In 90% of Korean restaurants, you don't pay at the table. Grab the bill (order sheet) and go to the counter near the exit to say this.
