Mamasan ran a good shop at LH. Kept the regular guys happy. Lisa and Candy were the old reliables.

The ethnic Koreans (Yanbian) are very motivated to work hard and make a lot of money. Many of them will work even during their period.

The Koreans don’t see them as Korean and the Chinese don’t see them as Chinese.

Many of the ethnic Koreans do a very good job of hiding their heavy Korean accent. Many of them will claim that they are from Gangwondo (eastern part of Korea). lol.

Anyway, in terms of service, I’ll pick a Chinese or ethnic Korean over a Korean.

On the topic of Korean places what do you call a Korean mamasan? Mamasan is rooted in Japanese culture and if there's one thing I know about Koreans it's that they don't like being lumped in with the Japanese. I've been frequenting a Korean place and want to address the older woman who runs the place properly.

You can say, “Manager-Neem”.

“Neem” is a respectful way of addressing people who are older than us. It means, “Sir” or “Madam”.
