Check Please in Korean: 계산해 주세요

"Check please" in Korean is 계산해 주세요 (gyesanhae juseyo). Short version at the counter: 계산이요!

You often pay at the counter, not at the table. Raising a hand and saying 계산이요 works great in casual spots.

Field tip

Tipping isn’t expected in Korea. Rounding up isn’t required either.

Common mistake

Just say 계산. The Konglish 빌 exists but 계산해 주세요 is clearer.
