Why Restaurant Reservations Are Better

While we were recently sharing about our latest food cravings and recommendations here in Korea Portal, we just thought about stuff related to reserving a table for the restaurants you would like to try. We admit that it's highly recommended that you reserve a seat ahead of time at the restaurant you want to dine in.

Just to be clear that you don't need to have a super special occasion to call for a reservation. Some restaurants are more than willing to reserve your seat at specific times to avoid the rush and waiting times when you arrive at the venue.

The nice thing about making reservations is that you can schedule your day properly without the thought of rushing to the restaurant hoping to get a seat. As long as you arrive within the hour of your reserved time, then that is definitely fine.

Calling for a restaurant reservation will also give you an opportunity to order things in advance. That way, there is less waiting time upon your arrival from the restaurant. Also, we would want to give you a note that not all restaurants offer table reservations for one person. It's better if there are two or more of you for a better chance of getting a reservation.

So here are the things that you should do upon getting your restaurant reservation:

• Get the restaurant's contact number or PM their social media pages for a reservation. It's best if you make a reservation 1-2 days before.
• Provide them the final date and time of when you want the table reserved.
• Take note of the restaurant's terms and conditions when it comes to reserving.
• Provide them your contact number for easy communication.
• Be there early. If you're going to the restaurant after work, be sure to leave the office a little early to avoid the rush hour.
• If you're dining with a group, be sure to remind them to be on time.
• We hope this helps you on your next food trips!
