The study of constraints in the leisure context has been a popular research theme during the last few decades. While constraints deter consumers, understanding perceived values has proven useful towards attracting them. This article focuses on participants' constraints that inhibit an experience while analyzing perceived values when dining at Korean restaurants from Westerners' perspectives. The construct of constraints used in this study focused on time, money, facility, communication, comfort, and personal constraints. On the side of perceived values, the proven framework of hedonic and utilitarian values was used. Then both values and constraints where compared to levels of satisfaction and future intentions to better understand how Korean restaurant patrons are choosing where to dine. In doing so, this study showed that time, facility and personal constraints have the greatest influence on satisfaction while utilitarian values, time, and facility constraints significantly influence respondents' future intention towards Korean dining choices. Data was collected from Westerners who have been in Korea as both tourists and longer term stays. The results of this study are expected to provide Korean marketers and restaurant owners, consultants, and managers with important information regarding constraints and values towards trying Korean food from a Westerner's perspective. By focusing on foreigners' view points, this study provides unique information, as this point has not been studied through prior research in the South Korean culinary market.
