Useful Korean expressions - 식당에서 in a restaurant!

Today~ I am going to tell you how to order or ask things in Korean in a restaurant :D

The topic is pretty easy and basic, but I am going to cover some other stuffs too, so hope it helps  :)

Shall we start? 고고씽!

1. 메뉴판 어디있어요? 메뉴판 좀 주세요. Where is the menu? Can I get a menu ?

MenuPan Uh Di It Uh Yo? MenuPan Jom Ju Sae Yo.

Usually, when you enter a restuarant, they will ask you 'for how many people 몇 분이세요?' and then give you a table.

You answer using an ordinal number like 한 명이요. 두 명이요.

Speaking of the numbers, let me point them out in case you don't know.

*Ordinal numbers (서수) : 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 다섯, 여섯, 일곱, 여덟, 아홉, 열

we use 서수 for people, time (only for hours not minutes and seconds) and counting the number of things.
ex) 세 명의 아이가 놀이터에서 놀고 있다. Three kids are playing in a playground.
    지금은 세 시 삼십 분 오십 오초 입니다.ㅋㅋㅋ It's 3:30:55 now. lol
    공책 다섯권만 주세요. 5 notebooks, please.

Cardinal numbers (기수): 일, 이, 삼, 사, 오, 육, 칠, 팔, 구, 십, 십일 ...백, 천, 만..

2. 너무 맵지 않게 해주세요. Please make it not too spicy.

Neo Mu Map Ji Ann Gae Hae Ju Sae Yo.

Korean foods are generally quite spicy, I think you might need to know how to say this :)

우와아~ 맛있는 바지락칼국수!->





3. 물 좀 주세요. 물은 어디있어요? Can I get some water? Where can I get some water?

Mul Jom Ju Sae Yo. Mul Eun Uh Di It Uh Yo?

I think, you will sometimes to see a note saying '물은 셀프' lol which means they won't serve water for you.
You should go to the water purifier and get some for yourself :D
(In a fancy restaurant, of course they will serve you the water lol )

and side dishes are 반찬 in Korean. They will give you more 반찬 for free(olleh~), if you ask for it. How nice~!

4. 얼마에요? 영수증을 주세요. How much is it? Can I get the receipt?
Ul Ma Eh Yo? Young Su Jeung Ul Ju Sae Yo.

5. 이모 ~ 여기요~ hey, excuse me!
Ee Mo~ Yeo Gi Yo!

haha I think this will be very useful. 이모 is an aunt in English, but we call them 이모 not 아줌마 as a manner and respect and it sounds more friendly. :D Well~ who knows, she will give you some more extra side dishes for calling her like that saying 아이구~ 한국말 잘하네ㅋㅋㅋ(you are good at Korean).  hehe

You can say 저기요 instead of 여기요. Both are fine and it's like 'Excuse me' in English, so you can use it in many different situations :D

후식으로는 커피를!^^
