Significado
To consume a meal at a commercial eating establishment.
Contexto cultural
In Korea, it is common for the person who invited others to pay for the entire meal. Splitting the bill (Dutch pay) is becoming more common among younger generations, but the 'one person pays' culture is still strong in professional and family settings. Many Korean restaurants specialize in only one type of dish (e.g., a Galbi-tang place, a Naengmyeon place). This is different from the 'general menu' style common in many Western restaurants. The concept of 'Service' (서비스) in Korean restaurants refers to free food or drinks given by the owner to show hospitality, especially if you are a regular or ordered a lot. Calling the server is often done by shouting 'Yeogiyo!' (Over here!) or pressing a call button on the table, which can be surprising to those from cultures where this is considered rude.
Use '에서' for Action

Honorifics Matter
Never say '먹다' to your boss or grandparents. Use '드시다' to avoid sounding rude.
