The K-FOOD Festival "Knock Knock" has broken the stereotype that food festivals tend to overcharge. True to its name, "Knock Knock" emphasizes generosity: each food truck displays a sign with clear information on menu items, prices, portion sizes, and ingredient origins. During the actual food service, portions are weighed to ensure ample servings.

Another noteworthy aspect is that all food is served in reusable containers, not disposables. Next to the event area, there’s a return zone where visitors can dispose of used containers properly, facilitating recycling and cleanup.Each food truck has its own ordering kiosk, but visitors can also place orders for multiple food trucks at once by visiting the main information center. To ensure smooth service for the high volume of visitors, cash payments are not accepted; however, a variety of payment options are available, including domestic and international card payments and easy payment services.
