Why restaurant phrase cards help

The Restaurant Phrase Card gives you the most useful ordering phrases in Korean with romanization and English meaning: asking for a menu, saying you have an allergy, requesting the bill, asking for takeout, or noting that you cannot eat spicy food.

Short, clear Korean phrases are usually easier for staff to understand than long machine-translated paragraphs. For allergies or diet restrictions, use the Food Allergy Card and confirm carefully because sauces, broth, side dishes, and shared cooking surfaces can vary.

Sample phrases included

Sample phrases include menu-pan ju-se-yo for asking for a menu, an maep-ge hae-ju-se-yo for not spicy, gye-san-seo ju-se-yo for the bill, and allergy phrases such as saying you have a peanut allergy. Use these as communication support, not as a safety guarantee.
