I go to Gangnam Station all the time, but thanks to SideMate,

FAQ
Is it okay if my English isn't very good?
Of course! SideMate isn't about showing off language skills. It's about sharing food and stories with friends from different cultures. With a translation app, body language, and an "open mind," communication is more than enough. Sometimes, a bit of broken English even leads to bigger laughs and better memories!
Can I sign up by myself?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, over 90% of our members join alone. Any awkwardness is only temporary. Once you start eating with people who share your interests, you'll forget you even came by yourself. SideMate cheers for your brave and cool step toward meeting new people!
What is the refund policy?
To ensure smooth matching and restaurant reservations, we operate a "No-show prevention deposit."
• Up to 3 days before: 100% Refundable.
• 2 days before or less: Non-refundable, as matching with other members is already confirmed.
We appreciate your thoughtful participation in building a respectful community.
When will I know the location after booking?
As soon as your booking is confirmed (or at least 1 day before the meeting), we will send the location and a guide via KakaoTalk or SNS. We've already handled the menu and reservations—all you need to do is show up with an excited heart!
How are the groups matched?
We carefully balance age, language, and interests so everyone fits in naturally. Our goal isn't just to fill seats, but to create a "pleasant table" where no one feels left out. Look forward to an exciting connection that’s more valuable than just "perfect conditions!"
