So you know many American restaurant chains are present in Korea and you whip out your smartphone to see what's around. You search "McDonald's" and nothing comes up...you search "Starbucks" and again...nothing. WHY!? A lot of times these names have been adapted to the Korean alphabet (한글). I have started to compile a list of the English names of restaurants and their 한글 equivalent. Let me know if you see any errors!
