How Do You Say One More Please in Korean?

The standard way to say one more please in Korean is 하나 더 주세요, made of 하나 (hana, one), 더 (deo, more) and 주세요 (juseyo, please give me). Say the item first if the server might not know what you mean, as in 김치찌개 하나 더 주세요. If you just need "more", the short version 더 주세요 (deo juseyo) works too.

All four phrases are polite and end in 주세요, so the choice depends on what you want more of. The next section takes each one in turn.

What Are the Polite Ways to Say One More Please?

One more please follows the Korean speech levels, explained in the guide to Korean speech levels. In a restaurant you will almost always use the polite style, so the choices below are about the thing you are asking for, not about politeness.

Polite: 하나 더 주세요 (hana deo juseyo)

하나 더 주세요 asks for one more of the same dish or drink. 하나 is a native number that stands alone, so you can add the item before it. For two or three, change the count: 둘 더 (dul deo) or 두 개 더 (du gae deo), 세 개 더 (se gae deo).

Polite: 반찬 더 주세요 (banchan deo juseyo)

반찬 (banchan) means side dishes, the small plates of kimchi and vegetables that arrive with a Korean meal. Most casual restaurants refill them for free, so asking is not rude. Name the dish if you want a specific one: 김치 더 주세요 (more kimchi, please).

Polite: 한 번 더 주세요 (han beon deo juseyo)

한 번 더 means "one more time". The counter 번 (beon) counts occasions, not objects, so this phrase asks for a repeat of something, for example an explanation. It does not order more food, which is the most common confusion with 하나 더.

Polite: 추가해 주세요 (chugahae juseyo)

추가 (chuga) means "addition", and 추가해 주세요 asks the server to add something extra. It is the usual phrase for extras that cost money, such as more noodles in a stew (사리 추가, sari chuga) or more meat. Expect the extra to appear on the bill.

Four phrases share one structure, so the sounds come next.

How Do You Pronounce 하나 더 주세요?

하나 더 주세요 is pronounced [하나 더 주세요], hana deo juseyo, in six even syllables. Speak it as three short words: 하나, 더, 주세요, with a small pause after 하나.

1. 하 (ha): "hah" with a light h.
2. 나 (na): "nah".
3. 더 (deo): a soft d and the open vowel ㅓ, like "duh".
4. 주 (ju): a soft j and "oo".
5. 세 (se): "seh".
6. 요 (yo): "yoh".

Sound Changes to Listen For

Four details from the National Institute of Korean Language Standard Pronunciation Rules (표준 발음법) and natural speech matter here.

• No tensing in 하나 더. After the vowel 나, the ㄷ of 더 stays soft, so 하나 더 is [하나 더]. Learners sometimes tense it by mistake.
• Spell 한 번 with a space. Written with a space, 한 번 counts one time; written together, 한번 means "once, sometime" or "give it a try". In speech it flows as one unit, [한번]. The standard rules do not turn the ㄴ into ㅁ, although [함번] is common in fast speech.
• No change in 반찬. 반찬 is [반찬]. The ㅊ is aspirated, so say a clear puff of air.
• ㅓ is open. In 더, the vowel ㅓ is an open "uh", not the rounded "oh" of ㅗ. Saying "doh" turns 더 into a different word.

With the sounds covered, the next question is when each form is safe to use.

When Should You Use 하나 더 주세요, and When Should You Not?

Say the item or the count plus 더 주세요 to ask staff for a refill. 하나 더 is for one more of a dish or drink, while 한 번 더 asks for one more repetition of something.

Situations Where It Fits

• A second drink. 콜라 한 잔 더 주세요. (One more glass of cola, please.)
• A refill of side dishes. 반찬 더 주세요.
• A grill restaurant. 삼겹살 이 인분 더 주세요.
• A fast-moving explanation. 한 번 더 말씀해 주세요.

Situations to Avoid

• Sino numbers for items. 일 더 주세요 is wrong, because items take 하나, 둘, 셋.
• 한 번 더 for food. It means "one more time", so the server may think you are asking for a repeat.
• Expecting free refills of main dishes. Only side dishes are normally refilled free; ask 추가해 주세요 and expect a charge for extras.
• Waving without a word. Call staff first with 여기요 (yeogiyo, excuse me) or the table call button, then make the request.

Before the scenes, one skill needs its own section: counting what you want.

How Do You Count the Thing You Want More Of?

Use native Korean numbers with a counter that matches the object. 하나 더 is short for "one more of this", and you can replace 하나 with a counted phrase when you need a bottle, a glass or a bowl.

Servings are the one exception. The counter 인분 (inbun, serving) takes Sino-Korean numbers (일 인분, 이 인분), while most other counters take native numbers. The dialogues below put these counts into real orders.

What Does One More Please Sound Like in a Real Conversation?

A restaurant request is short: a call to the server, the request and a confirmation. Notice how the polite ending 주세요 appears in every request.

What to notice: 인분 takes the Sino-Korean number 이, while the request ends in 더 주세요.

What to notice: the customer names one dish after the server asks, and the order stays polite throughout.

What to notice: 한 번 더 asks for a repeat, not food. The side-dish culture behind these requests is next.

What Should You Know about the Culture behind One More Please?

Korean restaurants run on a shared-table, many-small-dishes model, so asking for more is a normal part of a meal and not a sign of greed.

• Free side dishes. Banchan side dishes are normally free and refillable in Korean restaurants, so asking 반찬 더 주세요 is not rude. Some places, such as certain cafés or upscale restaurants, may charge, so watch the menu.
• Extras cost money. 추가해 주세요 is used for extras that cost money, such as added noodles or meat, and the bill usually shows 추가.
• Self-service corners. At some restaurants, side dishes, water or rice are self-service. A sign saying 셀프 (selpeu, self-service) means help yourself.
• Call staff directly. Calling 여기요 or pressing a table call button is normal, and servers expect it.

An expert insight: learners often ask for "one more" with the wrong number system. Korean uses native numbers for most objects, but 인분 breaks the pattern and uses Sino-Korean numbers. If a server answers with 몇 인분이요? (how many servings?), reply with 일 인분 or 이 인분. The common mistakes below show the other typical slips.

What Mistakes Do Learners Make with One More Please in Korean?

Most mistakes with one more please come from numbers and from confusing portions with repetitions.

Learners often assume that 더 means "another". Actually, 더 means "more", and it works with a quantity: 하나 더 is "one more". Without a number, 더 주세요 simply asks for more of what you had, such as more rice.

Is It the Same as Another One?

The short answers below cover the other ways people search for this phrase.

• Another one in Korean: 하나 더 주세요, or the short 하나 더요 (hana deoyo).
• More please in Korean: 더 주세요 (deo juseyo), with the item first if needed.
• Refill in Korean: 리필 돼요? (ripil dwaeyo, can I get a refill?) at cafés and some chains, or 더 주세요.
• Extra in Korean: 추가 (chuga), as in 추가해 주세요 or 사리 추가.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 하나 더 주세요 and 반찬 더 주세요?

하나 더 주세요 asks for one more of a counted item, such as a dish, bottle or bowl. 반찬 더 주세요 asks for more side dishes, which are shared small plates with no count. Side dishes are usually free, while another main portion usually costs money. Use the dish name to be specific.

Can I use 하나 더 주세요 with friends, elders and strangers?

Yes with strangers and elders, because it is polite. With close friends you may use the casual 하나 더 줘, but a server should always get the polite form. Add 여기요 first to get attention. Avoid casual 줘 with staff, since it sounds rude to a service worker.

Is 하나 더 주세요 formal or casual?

하나 더 주세요 is polite, in the 해요체 style, so it is neither formal nor casual. It suits almost every restaurant and café. A more formal request is 하나 더 주시겠어요? (could you give me one more?). The casual version, 하나 더 줘, is only for friends and family.

Are side dishes free to refill in Korean restaurants?

In most casual restaurants, yes. Banchan are included in the meal and refilled on request. Some cafés, upscale places and tourist venues may charge or limit refills, and menus sometimes mark them. If unsure, ask 반찬 리필 돼요? (can I refill the side dishes?) before ordering more.

How do I say one more bottle or glass in Korean?

Use the counter that matches the container. 한 병 더 주세요 means "one more bottle, please", and 한 잔 더 주세요 means "one more glass, please". Use native numbers: 한, 두, 세, before 병 or 잔. Name the drink first if there is a choice, for example 소주 한 병 더 주세요.
