Our Bellevue Korean restaurant can bring you very close to an authentic Korean dining experience, but there are some things that you just don’t get out of the country. Take, for example, the experience of ordering delivery in Korea. Though mundane, this task is a source of much bafflement to first-time visitors on the peninsula due to the unusual practice that generally goes behind it.

When you order food from many restaurants in Korea, it will often come to your door in higher-quality dishes than you may expect from delivery. Maybe you’ll get a lunch in a fine, lacquered box, or you’ll get soup in a metal bowl with matching spoons and serving bowls. If you ever find yourself in this situation, don’t throw these dishes away! The person who delivered your food is going to come back to retrieve these dishes later on. It’s just another part of Korea’s impressive efforts to reduce waste and lead a greener, cleaner life!
