Look for these common patterns

Korean menus often group dishes by type. Words such as 밥 (rice/meal), 면 (noodles), 국 (soup) and 찌개 (stew) can give you a quick clue.

Use photos strategically

If there are photos, use them to identify the dish, then check the Korean name or ingredients underneath.

Ask one simple question

If you are unsure, showing the menu and asking what is popular is often enough.
