Forget the Koreans. If I get my parents to open one of these in Miami there are going to be about 10 Koreans coming in all year. I dont even think the honkies give a crap about 'banchan'. You could probably just serve them meat, and a bucket of mashed potatoes. LOL. You would probably also be better off not mentioning Korean and just calling it "BBQ in the middle of the table Restaurant invented by Abraham Lincoln"

I like going to Korean restaurants with first-time white people. When the banchan comes, they're always like...."did we order this?!". And if you share a jjigae with each other(everyone shares a communal soup), they will look at you like you are a barbarian. Yes, it sounds unsanitary, but we Koreans are all brothers.
In Los Angeles, many people I know have experienced poor service if they go to a Korean restaurant but do not have a Korean-speaking person with them. Koreans are like that, so I completely believe it.
