A hand pressing a red and blue call-bell on a restaurant table

common korean restaurant call-bell

Korea doesn't have to wait for an employee to watch me when it needs help in a restaurant like any other European country. All you have to do is press the bell on the table once. If you press it but it doesn't come, press it again. If there is no bell on the table, raise your hand and shout with confidence, "SA-JANG-NIM!"

How to use it in Korea

One press is enough, and nobody counts how many times you press after that. If your table has no bell, raise your hand and say "jeo-gi-yo". Neither one is rude here.
