They also offer giant stuffed animal creatures if you want "company" to sit with you so you're not completely alone
macrosss001
I would patron the establishment at least once a week even if their food is mediocre. No need to feel awkward eating alone
Nommad
I think this is due to the social stigma in Korea of eating alone.
lookitupyourself
Hmm. I do this all the time. I would love my own tv and charger though. Also, more Korean good in general
iTwistless
Damn that mini grill on the side reminds me of the times with my bro going to Korean BBQ with his friends. So bomb!
BOOMstick666
Far too public for my liking. I do my eating at home with the curtains closed.
LSUguy
I like the idea of eating out but still in privacy
whatIdontknowcouldfillawarehouse
dozens of people getting bacon, watching the Telly and judging from the amount of food on the table, this is not a short lunch
jimmythehat1
That's quite a spread too.

Americans will need much bigger cubicles.

is this north or south?

yes please and thank you.

I like being solitary and am very introverted but sometimes I’d take myself on dates. It was more of a social challenge and a way to get out
SpareWare
Y'know not everyone is an introvert... I realize there is an abundance on this site, but forced isolation is really rough for some of us...
hyrulenpc
Surely it wouldn't be forced. This is one option among many
kevinallover
Never saw this while I was in Seoul, but the Ajummahs always made me feel welcome.
woozee
Ajumma were a mixed bag for me. They're not so nice when they elbow you or push you on the subway to be first in the car
kevinallover
Mostly talking about the restaurant workers. I remember orderly queues on the subway, but I don't doubt they could be pushy.

I finally got some "me time" being away from the kids. Two whole hours. Would have gotten more, but my knees started getting numb from /1

I like you for liking it

There is stigma about eating alone. Sometimes i just dont want anyone around me. I just want to eat by myself while reading a book.
snowglobeshaker
One of my absolute favourite things to do!
PersonWomanManCameraTvImAllThere
Yes.
LordSlickRick
In the US it would take less than a week for someone to break a tv and trash the cubicle.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
So true.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
This is why we can't have nice things, America.
repliessnarkily
Hell yes.

Why the fucking fuck are these not everywhere?!

There's a popular ramen chain in Japan where you get a seat at a bar with a bamboo curtain blocking the chef and privacy screens on side.
DetectiveSloth
You order from a machine before you sit down and hand the chef your ticket, he hands you a ticket with extras if you want more.
Aethyon
The rest of the world would probably break the tv, the western world is too full of itself to be able to handle that kind of responsibility
Aethyon
There are places like this, but on a large scale for it to be fairly standard I don't think it would work well
lookitupyourself
That's so not true.

Ya, this a way better set up than what I have going on in my car for lunch
Typhon86
I don't need netflix because I just disassociate and stare into the void during my in-car lunch breaks.
PezHead13
Used to stare into that void with the smoking crew before I quit. Feel more like a short lived philosopher sharing nods and pensive looks
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
I used to work by the airport so I’d park at the Wendy’s there and watch the planes land for a while. It was a nice recharge.
Oldschoolcsplayer016049879
I dont see an opportune nap spot tho, I get an hour so I eat and then catch a 30 minute nap.
carlrove46
I can’t trust myself to nap in my car anymore. Not since “the incident”
SirCaptainDoctorProfessorMeowMeow
Nap went waaaaaaaaaay to long didn't it?
SickSickIndividual
I do that too... Netflix on phone, sound through the car speakers, food on my lap... I actually love it
swellerelk
I put my phone between the headrest and chair and lounge in the back.
Oldschoolcsplayer016049879
I have a GPS phone holder thing suction cupped to my sunroof so I can lounge it back
Brookimus741
They make trays you can clip onto your steering wheel.
SickSickIndividual
Yeah I saw that on here a couple days ago... thinking of investing in one
serpentinebaboo
Bought a Tesla. Netflix during my lunch break. It’s awesome.
OverzealousDude
Unlimited data?
serpentinebaboo
Free for the first year.
PezHead13
In the car or can you use it as a hotspot? That's not bad
serpentinebaboo
In the car. When parked, you can stream on the center console. Car has its own cell data (free for first year). It has Netflix, Hulu,YouTube
serpentinebaboo
and a few others, but not Disney+, amazon prime, or hbo max.
ElvisCatStello
This church on campus gives away dollar meals on Tuesday. I'd usually go by myself until people started approaching me to talk and such so..
Camelspotting
Colorado?
ElvisCatStello
I eventually drove my car there just do I could eat in my car and listen to KFAN Sports talk ha. It was all volunteers doing the cooking..
ElvisCatStello
Loved the old lady cooking but man when I'm eating I don't want to get to know people! I just want to eat when I'm eating ?
PezHead13
Truth. My brother went on a cruise. They gave two buttons to everyone. "I AM trying to friend" "I am NOT trying to friend" No mixed signals
ShiftyToaster
I want one of those to wear to work
GodzillaBoomingMarketOfDiabetes
This should just be natural. Not korean.
88wut
Yeah but Korean bbq tho
OkGoodbye6380
Can we have a Mexican version called “Table for Juan”?
VaultGirl69
We are insanely in love with food. -A Korean
AmateurHuman93
I dunno, eating with others has been a tradition since forever. I'd say that's more natural than this
HugoArtemisRune
I go from mornings making lunches to 9 hour day at work to shopping and cooking and then family stuff. I'd love a quiet meal every so often
neckingduringschindlerslist
Handy during a pandemic though. Or even just during regular flu season.
DropKickHead

KRicci
Eh, sometimes you want to get out of the house and don't have anyone to go with
neckingduringschindlerslist
I like how this was downvoted by someone who cannot fathom eating alone in public.
Himalayiantortoise
Is your user name based on that seinfeld episode

drunkpanther
This only worka in densely populated cities. Nobody drives to eat out by themselves, you walk.
somnif
I drive places to eat alone fairly often. Because I have no place I can afford to eat in walking distance.
Frostbreaker1
I drive 20 minutes to a Panera to eat alone. Its fantastic
Idontneedrealfacts
While I live in the suburbs and certainly have driven to eat out by myself (as others are responding) you are correct. not enough do
cozynester
Looks like it's people making their own lunch not eating out. Like in a cafeteria area of a large business?
Idontneedrealfacts
this is definitely a restaurant, korean bbq place. No one would make that many banchan *the little side dishes) for them self.
serokiCat
When I was traveling for work I would eat out by myself all the time Something like this would be amazing for when I don't want to socialize
colbyshmolby56
What about lunch time? I work in clients homes and go home to home daily, would love this for my lunch breaks so I'm not in my car
rianstar
Nowhere in the post said anything about how you get there
Dragongurl392
As a married woman with a small child, I would totally drive for this. I would drive a half hour for this. I need a break.
PuppyDontCare
I don't understand how walking, going by bus or car makes any difference...
drunkpanther
Oh, I meant that people who eat alone usually want to go through the least amount of effort for it.
PuppyDontCare
Oh I was thinking more for work lunch
tsherkin
Or they just dont want ti be bothered by others while they eat :)
ChloeRed
I used to drive a 50 mile round trip to get a pizza from pizza hut.
NotAPervert
Why?
ChloeRed
Because it was the closest pizza hut to where I was living?
mikeatike
I would drive to this place.
bassaro
Your car might get wet, unless you drive through the DMZ.
mikeatike
Then it might get a bit blown up.
Jokerthehulk
I do once a week. Tell my wife I’m going into work early but go have a quiet and relaxing breakfast first
crapcomments
Why can't you tell her you're going for a nice relaxed breakfast to yourself?
Strangedays2024
I find that someone who thinks your going to work is less likely to continue trying to get you to do something else for them.
Lakeylake
Sometimes you need some alone time.
ILaughAndCryEveryDayFromU
Yeah its once a week. She shouldnt care. Unless your going to a breakfast buffet at a strip club.

Exactly! I find it so hard to explain this to other people. So I just don't.

Her harmless secret is fucking your neighbors while you have secret breakfast
