Korean Etiquette
Calling the waiter
Why
Staff don't hover by your table; you call them when you need something.
Do
- Press the table bell or raise a hand and say 여기요.
- Order everything at once when they come.
Avoid
- Don't snap your fingers or whistle.
- Don't wait for staff to check on you — they usually won't.
Useful sentence
저기요, 주문할게요.jeogiyo, jumunhalgeyo.Excuse me, we'd like to order.
These are general customs; people, generations and situations vary — kindness covers most mistakes.
