Say this to the waiter (Korean)
차돌박이는 양념 없이 구워주세요. 쌈장이나 단 간장 같은 소스는 빼주시고, 쌈 채소만 주시면 됩니다.
Plain grilled Chadolbagi, please. No sugary dipping sauces like ssamjang or sweet soy. I'll use lettuce for wraps.
Watch out for
Sugary dipping sauces (ssamjang contains sugar), some types of kimchi, hidden sugars in certain pickled side dishes (banchan), rice served on the side (must be avoided).
