๋๋ค. Korean Dining Etiquette you must know Before starting a meal. In Korea, there are a few important customs before starting a meal. People usually wait for the oldest or highest-ranking person at the table to pick up their spoon before they start eating. It is also common to say โjal meokgesseumnida,โ meaning โIโll enjoy the meal,โ before eating. When dining with other people, it is important to show consideration for older people. For example, when a new dish arrives, you may serve some food to an older person before serving yourself. When using spoons and chopsticks. In Korea, people use both spoons and chopsticks, but they are generally used for different foods. Rice, soup, and stews are usually eaten with a spoon, while side dishes are eaten with chopsticks. Unlike in China or Japan, people in Korea normally leave their rice and soup bowls on the table instead of lifting them up to eat. You should also avoid sticking chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice. This looks similar to the way chopsticks are used during traditional ancestral ceremonies, so it can have an uncomfortable meaning. When eating together. In Korea, people often share food at the table. Side dishes and stews are commonly placed in the middle of the table and shared by everyone. When eating with other people, it is better not to reach too far across the table or search through a shared dish for the best piece. If you need more side dishes, you can simply say โBanchan jom deo juseyo,โ meaning โCould I have some more side dishes?โ At many Korean restaurants, additional side dishes are free. It is also considered polite to eat at a similar pace to the other people at the table. When paying the bill after finishing a meal. When the meal is finished, Koreans often say โjal meogeotseumnida,โ meaning โThank you for the meal.โ In a restaurant, it is perfectly natural to call a server by saying โyeogiyo,โ meaning โExcuse me,โ especially when you need something. If there is a call button at the table, you can simply use it. In most Korean restaurants, you pay at the counter rather than at the table, and tipping is generally not expected. When eating with friends, people may either split the bill or take turns paying, depending on the situation. Saying โjal meogeotseumnidaโ at the end of a meal is one of the most useful expressions to know when eating in Korea.
