While looking up restaurants in Busan on Naver for my upcoming trip I noticed that a lot of restaurants seem to have these standard menu slips. I’ve seen a lot of people write something like a T or an F and sometimes just a dash in the section where I thought one was to make a check haha. Can anyone explain to me how it works?

Nevermind I just found out those are the Chinese number characters haha

Korea, 1995/6 a few places had these. Certain items used the Chinese counting (honestly, it comes to you after a while which) but restaurants always used these to order, as the ideograms (?) ”Count” as you build them.. pretty neat, I thought
Like how they spelled Ramen, Korea style
Honestly if you put a number on there they won’t judge you for it either
I didn’t realize they used this in Korea as well. I was going to chime in to say it looks a lot like the kanji used in Japan for counting and sure enough!
That’s a receipt and you aren’t the one filling in the boxes. Naver has pics of receipts because you need those to review a place like that. You order by telling the staff what you want from the menu they give you or is written on the wall.
My favorite. Yummmy nakji
