00:00Welcome to Seoul, South Korea, where exploring the vibrant streets isn't just a feast for the
00:08eyes, but a banquet for the taste buds. From pizza buffets that offer endless options to
00:16the irresistible charm of Korean barbecue, the comfort of slurping noodles, and the satisfaction
00:22of sinking your teeth into a juicy burger. Over the years, I've compiled a list of the top 20 spots
00:28that promise delicious eats without a hefty price tag. Of course, some of these visits dates back a
00:33few years, so the prices mentioned are based on my experience at the time and today's currency
00:37conversion, which may have changed. Now grab your chopsticks, forks, spoon, or whatever you prefer
00:41as we dive into the delicious, affordable side of Seoul's food scene.
00:58Today, we're in the epicenter of cheap street food, Noryangjin. And it's cheap because there's
01:04a lot of universities around here, schools, so there's tons of students, and they're cramming
01:09for classes all the time, so they want something cheap and they want something quick. So this
01:13area is just full of delicious eats. Let's see what we can find.
01:17Here, look at this. The menu, everything is under five U.S. dollars. Look at this. This is a lot of kembab.
01:31Kembab is good.
01:40Just a simple bowl of instant noodles with chilies and egg. For some reason, it tastes fantastic.
01:47Little kimchi, little noodles.
01:51Then dip the kembab into the broth.
01:59Very simple, inexpensive, hearty, and delicious. Again, you could just make your own instant noodles,
02:06but you got homemade kembab, some good banchan, get out a little bit from all the studying. Pretty cheap and delicious meal.
02:11And that noodle still retains a lot of chew, even though it's been sitting on hold for a while, especially on a cold day like this.
02:17This is so good. After that, you can open up your jacket a little bit.
02:24See everybody walking around with one of these? It's like a waffle sandwich. I'll do dessert now.
02:29Oh, can you see that?
02:31Ooh. Looks good. I think little blocks of cheese. I have no idea what I got. This is just one of their top sellers.
02:41The waffle is really toasty and nice. Nutella inside. It looks like some condensed milk.
02:49Ooh. Look at that. This is what a waffle monster will look like.
02:56Mmm. Oh, I freaking love this. No wonder everywhere I looked, people were just walking around with this thing.
03:04Oh my god. So the little cubes of stuff I thought was cheese. It's some sort of frozen condensed milk thing.
03:10Oh my god. It's ice cream in here. Oh my god. I thought this was like, you know, just tastes like a waffle with Nutella inside.
03:21Who hasn't had that? But this one, oh my. The waffle is the toastiest, crispiest waffle I've ever gotten from one of these like waffle places.
03:29So you take a bite of toasty crispy waffle and you get a mouthful of ice cream, chocolate, and that cube condensed milk, cheesy stuff.
03:38I still don't know exactly what it is. It tastes like a cross between like a ice cream and a cream cheese.
03:45My kitchen now. This is a must-have. Oh, yeah. Come here and get this. Travel here and get this. I would.
03:52This is one of those food items I'm gonna be missing and thinking about when I go home tonight.
03:57I'm literally in a state of my mind being blown right now because I just did not expect this to be that good.
04:02This area is where all the students come. It's like a whole block of food vendors and this one is in particular pretty popular.
04:13It's pancake and a hot dog. This is my ham cheese powder pancake hot dog.
04:20What's crazy about this is the outside of the pancake is really crispy. Inside, soft and airy.
04:27This thing is able to hold the shape because it's molded almost like when you would fold a fortune cookie or something.
04:32This is one of the most interesting pancake hot dog things I've ever seen. Oh, and by the way, you guys missed this.
04:37I dropped it and I caught it. I'm a food ninja. It is what it is. Like I will do anything to save my food.
04:49This is worth a try here.
04:51This is so interesting. The outside has got a thin, crispy shell. Inside, it just tastes like a regular pancake. A little sweet, little doughy.
05:00Besides the mustard and the ketchup, it's crunchy coleslaw over a cooked hot dog.
05:08This is actually pretty tasty. I think the most unique thing about this is the outside pancake shell.
05:13I mean, the way he made it, there must be something with the batter where you've got that nice little crunch outside,
05:18but still able to maintain that pancake consistency inside.
05:35So I got this dish right here for $3,000. So what went into it, some fatty pork belly, whole slice of spam,
05:41bunch of different sauces, and this glorious egg. And all that is sitting on top of steamed white rice.
05:48That is so incredibly tasty for $3. How do I not know about this part of the show before? I mean,
05:58I've been here before, but only to the, uh, to the fish, fish yard. But this, this is where the treasure's at.
06:05The pork belly's great. It brings a little fat, which is always welcome when you have rice.
06:11There's a bit of heat in here to kind of balance out the fat. Of course, you got the creaminess from the eggs.
06:16And I didn't even invite the big chunk of spam to the party yet. And what you do is you're supposed to actually
06:23mix it all together, which I didn't do. I'm watching the people besides me. I'm learning.
06:27It's a little bits of kimchi in here as well. And you've got to just mix it all up.
06:30Oh my gosh. I can't believe this is three bucks. This is so worth it. Make sure that creamy egg yolk just goes everywhere.
06:40This is just so amazingly delightful.
06:46Ah, the love. Every single bite. Creaminess from the egg. Tons of meat in here. Rice is cooked perfectly.
06:53You get a little spice, you get a little fat, a little crunch from the kimchi.
06:56This, for three dollars, you're getting a ton of flavor for the buck. It's like you went to an art sale
07:02and paid 50 cents for a masterpiece painting. Basically, an amazing food bargain.
07:11And this is exactly what I'm looking for.
07:16Army stew. And there's really nothing heartier and more comforting, more perfect on a cold night
07:22than army stew. Also, this is one of the most affordable food items in South Korea.
07:26Army stew is one of my favorite Korean comfort foods. Uh, if you guys never had this before,
07:40this was created after the Korean War when food was scarce. So a lot of the ingredients came from army bases.
07:46That's why you got tons of spam in here and hot dogs. And that was mixed in with with anything that people had available.
07:52So ramen, sprouts, and just put it all together and stewed it in a spicy broth. This is just the most perfect thing on a cold day.
08:01Usually you can get something massive like this for one person for about seven, eight, maybe ten dollars.
08:07I mean, this is Hyundai area, so it's gonna be a little more expensive, but this is not an expensive food item,
08:13even though it looks ginormous.
08:20Inside the stew, little octopus, tons of ramen, tofu, spam, hot dogs, rice cakes, sprouts, kimchi.
08:31Everything that will fill you up and warm you up is in here.
08:35Oh, I've been looking forward to this all day. First bite of army stew, whatever I'm in Seoul, makes me so happy.
08:44I love so much this dish. And what's also so good about this dish is that we've all cooked army stew at some point in our lives.
09:03Whether we're in school or whatever, where we're broke and only thing we had access to was instant noodles and bits of hot dogs.
09:10Then you just boil everything together, you toss in whatever you had in the cupboards, toss in some hot sauce, and this is what you get.
09:18This is basically something that you cooked up in your dorm room or your first apartment that you couldn't quite afford.
09:24I mean, I remember having two rice cookers when I was in college. One of them, every Friday night, that would be like the gourmet night for me.
09:33It would go instant noodles, little bits of hot dogs, some scallions, whatever the heck else that was almost expired that I could get for cheap at the local Kroger.
09:41Second rice cooker would just have rice and I would just put this on top of my rice and that would be like the best meal I had that week.
09:48So eating dish, not only because it's so good, it's a comfort food I feel like most of us can relate to and most of us can take a bite of this and be like,
09:56Oh yeah, I remember those days. I mean, typically we wouldn't be able to afford the little octopus or be able to find that anywhere in this great state of Missouri.
10:04But everything else, the Spam, the little hot dogs, definitely.
10:08I can already feel the sodium attacking my hands. This is a good conclusion to any food day. Any food day.
10:23And then with this, you're going to be really happy and you're going to sleep really well.
10:28Here it is. All you can eat Korean buffet, 7,000 won.
10:38Not a bad spread.
10:42That is delicious fermented bean soup. Nice tofu, good veggie.
10:50So on the buffet, there's a lot of things. There's probably around four meat related items.
10:55One of which is the Jia Jiang Min.
10:59I'm telling you guys, this is not bad Jia Jiang Min.
11:03Good seaweed salad. I know I'm praising like things that may seem pretty ordinary, but it's spectacular.
11:11A little sprinkle of chilies. Love the crunch. Love the aromatic sesame seeds. It's a rare occasion.
11:19I compliment salads, so.
11:24You know it's got to be good. They got this massive tray of cookie.
11:27A little overly sweet for my taste, but juicy and tender.
11:34I think if you're a vegetarian, you would love this buffet. I mean all the salads I've had, I have to hook.
11:42I think this is a fried fish.
11:48Excellent. Tremendous crunch on that fish. Everything I've had so far. Quality.
11:57This is the place I always come to whenever I'm in Korea.
12:0112,000 won will get you unlimited spicy pork gauly.
12:06You're never going to stick it out. And every cut of meat you get, once you get it all you can eat, it's less than $10 and the meat quality, again, excellent.
12:18Short rib is just tremendous. Anywhere you go. If they offer short rib, you get it.
12:24The galbi. This is why I'm here. They've got two types of galbi. One is marinated covered in garlic. The other, the spicy one, that's the best.
12:36The galbi. This is why I'm here. They've got two types of galbi. One is marinated covered in garlic. The other, the spicy one, that's a coming.
12:55Gotta save the VIP for the grand entrance.
13:01That's so good. It takes a special kind of meat when it overshadows the beef that's on your grill, but pork, that thing definitely does.
13:08It's tremendously juicing. They cut it really thick, so the juice is just retained in here. Little sweet, tons of smoke from the charcoal.
13:15You don't need to dip that in anything. Only route, that thing needs straight from the grill to your mouth.
13:21Alright, the star has arrived. Spicy bulgogi. This is what you come here for.
13:25If you can't intercept them before they bring you the first order of like the regular bulgogi, start with the spicy because you want to start with it, you want to finish with it.
13:33This is it. The reason I always come to this place.
13:48Oh yeah.
13:51There's a lot of really cheap pork all-you-can-eat barbecues in Seoul.
13:55They're all average around like 10, 11, 12 dollars. Come here and try this. So much spice.
14:04Juice is amazing too. It's rare where you can like, where you find like pork, where you can eat so much and still feel like you want more.
14:14Because usually the meat is so fat. This is slap meat in the face good. There's some parts of that galbi that got little pieces of cartilage too.
14:20Ah, that's a nice chew.
14:23All-you-can-eat Korean buffet, it's about five dollars.
14:33There's quite a lot of dishes on the buffet. It's a five dollar buffet so not really expecting much.
14:42There's three meat dishes and then a bunch of veg dishes. Some banchan as well. Everything is homemade.
14:47It's a little chewy, crispy little fish with sesame on that.
14:54That's awesome. Also, the kimchi is extremely spicy.
15:00In the meat dishes, a little bulgogi. Spicy bulgogi.
15:13This thing is slightly sweet.
15:14Cold chili peppers in there, which brings the heat.
15:20The flavor is really, really nice as well.
15:23That brings way more heat than the gochi jam.
15:27I like the fact that there's a ton of fat on this pork.
15:33This is definitely a little local secret. If I came later, I don't think I could have got a seat.
15:43Alright, round two.
15:52This looks like spicy pepper beef and cabbage and blood sausage.
16:03I got the rest of the banchan. Basically got the rest of whatever I didn't get last time.
16:11Seaweed, fish cake soup.
16:19Fish cake is so tender.
16:21More bulgogi.
16:24Blood sausage looks so good.
16:29That might be the best thing out here.
16:30Spicy, yummy blood sausage.
16:40And this pepper steak. This tastes more like tofu.
16:42I mean, if you really wanted to get by on a budget in Seoul, places like this is how you do it.
16:46I mean, super delicious homemade food.
16:50It's not even like you're eating at a cheap buffet. The food doesn't taste as good.
16:53This is delicious homemade food.
16:55It will leave you very, very satisfied.
16:56I am looking, I think it's this place right here.
17:02Barbecue for about $6.00. So basically Korean barbecue for about $5.00.
17:07This is a cool place.
17:09Got to order the pork belly, which again, runs for about $5.00.
17:12Kimchi, sprouts, lettuce, and here it is.
17:17Add the pork belly.
17:19Kimchi.
17:23Put it on the bottom.
17:25And the cooker is slanted.
17:28So when the pork belly cooks, all that nice fat is going to just flow all over the kimchi.
17:34And that, it's going to stir fry the kimchi with pork fat, making it even more delicious.
17:37And that, it's going to be even more delicious.
17:38It's going to blow your belly.
17:39And that, it's going to start eating.
17:40We're almost like eating the pork belly.
17:42Add the pork belly.
17:43So these are the pork belly.
17:45So these are the pork belly?
17:47We are making a lot of the chicken.
17:48They are very delicious.
17:50We are making a lot of the chicken.
17:53So these are the pork belly looking.
17:54perfectly charred tender pork belly a little sauce eat it with the stir-fry
18:12sprouts and kimchi we got two orders of pork belly it's about 10 bucks
18:20unlimited kimchi sprouts all the banchan you want stir-fried all that up with
18:26some garlic oh man this is a delicious pork belly my advice 100% throw the
18:40garlic on that best way to eat this dip the pork belly a couple garlic some
18:46stir-fried kimchi and sprouts and the kimchi and sprouts are so good because
18:50they're cooked and all that nice pork belly fat the reason why I love this
18:56country so much if you want to go for some super quality beautifully marbled
19:02beef you can do that we'll just go to a local restaurant and get a pork belly
19:06barbecue for about five bucks you can do that as well and both places are gonna
19:12taste exceptional I love walking around Sinchang this area has got so many
19:16hidden gems I'm burning this a little bit right now in the quality of pork they
19:23use it it's so delicious again no gaminess nothing like that just pure good
19:27quality pork again cook the kimchi and the sprouts in all that nice pork fat I
19:32just makes everything taste so much better
19:38if a la carte isn't your thing you can easily find an all-you-can-eat barbecue
19:42buffet for about 13,000 won so about ten dollars around here too so this area
19:46really is the place to go if you want some good inexpensive food oh this is good
19:51let's see what else is on the menu
19:56so everything on the menu is pretty much four or five dollars for water so got
20:01some pig skin and I just kind of randomly pointed so we'll see what else shows up at
20:06the table
20:23pig skin a little green powder oh that is nice and good Latin to see
20:30eat it with some kimchi and some sprouts
20:44put some roasted garlic on that as well
20:52and the bunch on there always replenish and that's like a meal on its own
21:00pig skin is one of my favorite things to barbecue only mistake I may I should have put on an apron
21:05splash in my favorite shirt
21:07oh
21:08I asked for a cold noodle too which is about 375 for a bowl cold noodle
21:13I think I might have missed it though
21:14I think instead of the cold noodle soup I actually ordered the soy bean soup
21:24mmm
21:26That's good though that sucks they actually all place like this usually have aprons so this is my fault amateur move really
21:35Here we are this is a place owned by a Korean celeb
21:42This place is incredible value all you can eat jjajang for about five thousand once so around 350 for this new go buffet
21:50On top of that of course kimchi radish
21:56also fried rice
21:57jjajang min looks delicious
21:59They start you off with that massive massive bowl
22:04All you can eat jjajang min for about 350 US dollars. This is so crazy
22:11This is so freaking good. This might just be the best noodle deal in all of South Korea
22:15Hands down noodles cook very well. It's got such a nice chew to it. The sauce is deep rich earthy and delicious little sweetness from the caramelized onions
22:24There's bits of pork tons of umami in this bowl jjajang min
22:30The noodle was really really good texture is perfect
22:35The jjajang sauce not overly sweet, but if it feels a little too rich chase it with some kimchi
22:40Oh, and the kimchi has shreds of pork in there as well
22:46I'm not sure if the price is affecting my appetite, but this is as good of a jjajang min as I've ever had
22:50I mean everything about this sauce took the noodles. You just want to keep slurping this thing
22:57Grab a little bit of chili powder add that in for some additional
23:00Teats
23:04And what I see people doing is taking the jjajang sauce mix it with the fried rice
23:16Yeah, the sauce goes really really well with the fried rice drop in a little kimchi
23:23This is so freaking good also chase your jjajang min with some raw onions
23:30Juicy and sweet. I definitely recommend adding some chilies in here like this a little spicier
23:34Add some kick to your jjajang min and they have other stuff besides jjajang min if you want all you can eat jjajang
23:39Which are korean spicy seafood noodles. That's seven dollars a once about five bucks. All right
23:43It's pretty good deal too
23:44And when you're ready for a second bowl of jjajang min just go up to the counter speak to the manager
23:50Then get yourself another bowl
23:56I think after a couple of bowls instead of the bus feel like I need to walk home happily though
24:00I
24:16Every seat in this place is taken so you go down a line and there's all sorts of different dishes
24:21From banchan to meats rice to soup to noodles. I got a little bit of everything especially tofu
24:27Oh
24:30This is really good
24:32Tender tofu a lot of heat. Shades it with some cold noodles
24:38Meat options there's hamburg steak
24:42Which is very nice
24:45And the soup is baked blood soup
24:47It has sprouts
24:48Oh this is awesome
24:54Oh this thing is really really spicy. Nice crunch from the sprouts with scrumptious chunks of blood
25:02Good quality here is really really good
25:04What's really impressive about this place well besides the fact that there's literally about a hundred people here and they just opened up
25:09It's only about six dollars and you can get as much as you want and there's unlimited beer
25:13There wasn't a lot of chicken options when I got to the chicken. This is like I think sweet and sour fried chicken
25:21The chicken is phenomenal
25:23And this thing has got a ton of flavor really crispy spicy sweet and savory
25:29So chicken is freaking fantastic
25:32Chaser
25:35With some cold noodles and kimchi
25:38I got a lot of these giant chunks of ribs
25:42I can't believe this buffet is only six dollars everything is so freaking good
25:46The common theme here seems to be spicy a lot of spicy items here, which is what I love
25:50Tender ribs a lot of heat
25:52A lot of flavor as well that goes so well with the purple rice and the soup
26:00This soup is absolutely phenomenal
26:02So much blood in every single bowl
26:05I don't know people usually do they usually just power everything they want in the tray one time
26:08It's a giant tray so this thing can fit a ton of food
26:14That was a satisfying comforting meal
26:17I mean everything tastes like it came out of mom or grandma's kitchen
26:19I've been to a few of these really economical buffets
26:22I think this place 100% best quality
26:24Usually there's not that many meat dishes here
26:27There was chicken, humberg steak, giant pieces of ribs
26:30All delicious
26:31A lot of spicy items
26:33My tongue is still tingling
26:34The soup is awesome
26:36The fried chicken is ridiculous
26:38If you ever do come here definitely get a lot of that
26:40And I'm in this area where there's a lot of office buildings
26:43So it's mainly office workers going in for a quick meal
26:45But for around six us dollars
26:47The flavor, quality, the variety
26:49You're not going to beat this place
26:51So if you're in Seoul and you want to get some quality Korean comfort food
26:54That's the place
26:55Highly recommend
26:59Next place I'm going to
27:00I came all the way to Hyundai
27:03For this
27:17This is a very popular skimming place
27:23So if you just want to come here and get a regular bowl of skimming
27:26It's only 9,500 won
27:27Which is about seven us dollars
27:29Making this incredibly affordable
27:32I jazzed it up a little bit
27:33I got a thick piece of char siu
27:34I got an egg as well
27:36But even this combo is about 10 bucks
27:38And look at how thick this piece of char siu is
27:43Wow beautiful golden color on the outside
27:47Giant layer of fat
27:50It's just beautiful
27:53And the noodles are glorious looking as well
27:56Glistening and gorgeous
28:00So as for spicy
28:01So there's some chili powder on top as well
28:07This noodles grabbing onto that dip the sauce so well
28:13This is freaking fabulous
28:15Boa skimming
28:16The noodles are so scrumptious
28:18You taste hints of sweetness from the wheat
28:21And the texture just absolute perfection
28:26The dipping sauce is rich and thick
28:31And it's just an absolute umami explosion
28:33The dipping broth you definitely taste the anchovies
28:36Oh and the chilies they put in here
28:37They're not messing around
28:38My whole tongue is on fire
28:40But you never want to stop eating these noodles
28:43Mmm
28:44Egg is deliciously creamy
28:45I'm gonna have char siu here
28:48Mmm
28:48Oh my god
28:49Holy pork
28:51This is one of the greatest pieces of char siu that ever laid on top of noodles
28:54I kid you not
28:55The whole thing the lean meats
28:57I got that part
28:58The whole thing just dissolves as soon as it goes inside your mouth
29:01There's so much flavor
29:02The texture is absolutely perfect
29:05I don't think I've had skimming here in South Korea yet
29:08And this has just exceeded all expectations
29:17There are a lot of places like this restaurant here
29:20Where you can get any one of these menu items
29:23And a set of barbecue beef
29:25For about 9,000 won
29:32So here you can either get cold soup noodles with meat
29:35Those soup cold noodles with meat or bibimbap with meat
29:39Where you go for their winter season selection
29:41You get a sizzling bibimbap
29:43Or beef soup
29:45Or knife cut beef noodle soup with meat
29:47Again for around 9,000 won
29:59Usually I love some cold noodles with my barbecue
30:02But I've been eating that for I think 2-3 days straight
30:05So some sizzling bibimbap
30:09This smells so good
30:09Toasty rice bits, crunchy veg, meat, mushrooms, scallions
30:18With some spicy gochujang tying it all together
30:21Combine that with some sweet really smoky barbecue
30:26Oh this barbecue is amazing
30:28That's so tender
30:29There's a ton of smoky flavor in that meat
30:31This is just the most amazing deal
30:32Whether you're getting cold noodles or beating them up
30:35Like a combo like this
30:36It's so filling and delicious
30:40Off of the price of a Big Mac
30:42That was a really good call
30:43Getting the sizzling bibimbap
30:44It smells so good
30:45It tastes so good
30:46All sorts of different textures
30:48Spicy
30:48It goes really well with the meat
30:51And that meat
30:52Every time you chew
30:53That sweet smoky flavor just intensifies
30:56I lived in South Korea
30:57I found a place like this near me
30:58Pretty much just go there every single day
31:09Toast beef with soup
31:12And not at the end of it
31:13And at the end of it
31:15So it's nice
31:16You know
31:17This is the most
31:18spicy all the time
31:18Which is the most
31:19You know
31:20So it's a good
31:20It's a good
31:21You know
31:22It's a good
31:22I found a question
31:23It's a good
31:23I found a lot of
31:24You know
31:25There's a good
31:25You know
31:26Your baby
31:27Your child
31:28If you need
31:29It's a good
31:29You know
31:30You know
31:31You know
31:33You know
31:33You know
31:34You can find
31:36You know
31:36You know
31:37You know
31:37This is by far the biggest all-you-can-eat pizza buffet I've ever seen in my life
31:59The only other all-you-can-eat pizza buffet I've ever been to was the one at Pizza Hut
32:03But not every Pizza Hut has them and it would just be like about maybe seven or eight so pizzas and a little salad bar
32:08This is intense. This is dozens of items. I count over at least 60 different items
32:13The appetizer non-pizza portion of the buffet is just tremendous. You got blood sausage here
32:24Tastes like buffet blood sausage. So a lot of this stuff obviously they're kind of like fusion Korean
32:30Italian food. This is carbonara glass noodles
32:38Dare I say I really like that the sauce is creamy extremely spicy like you would never find something this spicy in Italian food
32:45But this is fine. This is like Koreanized a lot of added spice to make their own potato chips
32:52I see like chefs back there just cranking the stuff out, so it's relatively fresh
32:57Oh, yeah, it's corn. It's intense. It's like butter and I think this is like cheese sauce on top of this corn
33:05Yep
33:06Not a lot of cheese sauce. It's good, but also
33:10Very saturated. It just tastes like that Cheetos. Cheetah sneezed in my mouth flavor wise everything is pretty darn good chicken skin
33:16That's delicious
33:23That chicken skin is really good. That thing is crispy. That thing is fatty and that thing will make the day better
33:28They have like all sorts of pizzas some trendy and some like traditional pizza. This is a bulgogi pizza and potato wedges
33:34One bite I knew this thing tasted off somehow but upon closer inspection
33:43Let me show you what I found. Is that broccoli on this pizza? I knew I tasted my enemy
33:51I have a little idea after a few bites exactly what this is. First of all this bulgogi on here, which is amazing
33:56I guess it tastes really good on pizza. Huge beef flavor. On the ends there
34:00There's some mayonnaise or some kind of sweet cheese and then there's like cheese and broccoli on this
34:06But besides the broccoli intrusion, not too bad. Tap around to
34:19This is a sweet potato deep dish pizza
34:26That's actually really good. I mean it is again very very very starchy
34:35But that's a creamy sweet potato
34:37I'm so glad I could just take like a small slice of one of these pieces
34:39If you dare to eat like one full pizza of this half of this
34:47You don't need to go bathroom for the next month
34:48This is the too much steak pizza. There's bacon on here and it looks like maybe some sort of bulgogi
34:54There's corn there's onions too much steak pizza. I really don't think you can ever have too much steak
35:03I gotta tell you
35:05There's too much steak pizza. It's definitely not a mistake. It's good
35:09Whole tray of food about 250. Put some sauce on your salad
35:28Look at this perfectly cooked crispy golden crust
35:34Wow
35:38Glistening meat in the middle
35:48The outside is perfectly light and airy and crunchy
35:52Just the most marvelous little subtle crunch
35:55And I learned from what's wrong with Secretary Kim that
35:58This is the best part
36:00Right here from that guy. She went on a blind date with
36:03That wouldn't give her a piece of his katsu
36:05The best piece according to him
36:12I got us onto something
36:14That is the best piece
36:15That's definitely the most crispy piece
36:17And probably the fattiest piece
36:19On top of that
36:20You got some miso soup
36:22Serving of rice
36:24Serving of rice
36:25Kimchi
36:30I mean look this is not going to be as tender as like a $15 piece of katsu
36:36But at the price point
36:38I'll come back to this place every single day
36:40So two pastas
36:45They're signature classic spicy cream
36:49And this is the olive oil pasta
36:51And this pasta
36:52$3.75
36:53It's chili inside
36:55There's herbs
36:56Slices of garlic
36:57This thing smells
36:59Incredible
37:00Also free pickles
37:05Again, I don't think this pasta place is rated very well by people here
37:10This is a really good pasta for the price
37:14I mean $3.75
37:15Noodles are super al dente
37:17It's super garlicky buttery
37:21I like it
37:22This is their signature spicy
37:24Spicy cream pasta
37:25Oh, I think it was sliced brisket mixed in too
37:28Whole chili peppers
37:30This is about $6
37:36I think they put peanut butter in here
37:37A little sweetened peanut butter
37:38Super creamy and spicy
37:44Again, perfectly cooked noodles
37:46I mean this is definitely better than anything you'll find at Olive Garden
37:48And at about a third of the price
37:50But without the breast sticks
37:51I wish they had a number of the breast sticks
37:54Burger-y
37:55This place kind of looks like an In-N-Out burger
37:58And you can get a burger
37:59For around $3
38:00U.S. dollars
38:01So you get a big fresh burger
38:04For about $4
38:06Fresh burger for about $3
38:11This thing is piping hot
38:13Looks kind of like a smash burger
38:16Tons of sauce
38:17Sauteed onions
38:18Lettuce tomatoes
38:19Well, this is a delicious buttery juicy burger
38:27Beautiful scrumptious patty with a nice sear
38:32Caramelized onions adds a bit of sweetness and smokiness
38:35The buns are very very soft and buttery
38:41Like I said
38:42Full buttery yumminess
38:44You got the crunch from the lettuce and the pickles
38:47The sauce is perfect
38:48The patty is perfect
38:48And for three bucks
38:49Makes this taste even better
38:51So this is the typical set menu
38:59The famous spicy pork belly
39:00With the soup
39:01So this is about $30 for two people
39:03Or you can just get the pork belly
39:04This thing
39:05This thing's delicious
39:06See another fellow food vlogger
39:09Right back there
39:09One reason I love this place
39:11Charcoal grill
39:11Just like the all you can eat buffet earlier
39:13Charcoal just tastes better
39:14And the pork belly either comes in soy sauce
39:17Sauce or spicy sauce
39:19Highly recommend the spicy sauce
39:22Of course comes with unlimited banchan
39:24If you run out of anything
39:25There's the bar
39:26Just go fill it up
39:27My stew is here as well
39:28Look at this
39:29How hearty does this look?
39:37Ah so good
39:38Full of kimchi and little bits of pork
39:40Actually I shouldn't say a little bit
39:41So much meat in here
39:47The meat in here
39:48The chunks of meat
39:49Are so fatty and tender
39:51I mean you get the nice crunch
39:52From the kimchi
39:53And you get a chunk of meat
39:54That thing just dissolves
39:55In your tongue
40:06It's like taking a bite
40:06In that delicious smoke
40:08Best way to eat this
40:09Gorilla leaf
40:10Meat goes in
40:11Warm meat goes in
40:12Little sauce
40:14Bundle it up
40:17Just ridiculous
40:20I'm gonna give you a gooey egg
40:22Look at this
40:22To go with your meat and stew
40:24That's just the best part right there
40:46Usually in Hyundai
40:47I like to focus on how you can eat barbecue places
40:49Definitely make an exception for this
40:50Like I told you guys
41:11This Chinatown is mainly northeastern Chinese food
41:14Which involves a lot of flour based like buns and dumplings
41:19And noodles
41:20And also it's a very very meaty part of China
41:23A lot of root vegetables
41:25A lot of lamb
41:26A lot of beef
41:26So I got a lamb soup
41:28Because on a cold day like this
41:31Lamb soup's gonna feel really really good
41:33Also I got a beef noodle soup
41:35Because freshly made noodles is a specialty in northeast China
41:38And I gotta give that a try
41:44All right
41:46I forgot
41:46This is Korea
41:48Sometimes when you get meat soup in Korea
41:50They don't put any salt inside
41:52It lets you salt it yourself
41:53Which I find kind of
41:55Kind of weird
41:55But
41:56A little pepper
41:58Chilis
42:01Salt
42:06I'm getting there
42:09Way more salt
42:12Oh yeah
42:13Now that great lamb flavor shines through even better
42:16It just warms your whole body up
42:18It's really smooth
42:19Almost creamy lamb soup
42:20There's a lot of lamb inners inside
42:22I like a little organic flavor
42:25That is great
42:25I gotta try these noodles
42:27Freshly handmade noodles
42:28The guy's making it outside
42:33Oh this is delicious
42:34Heck yeah baby
42:36Wow
42:37This place is awesome
42:38Come here and get some lamb soup
42:39And get some beef noodles
42:41Satisfaction
42:42Guaranteed
42:43The noodles soak up the flavor really really well
42:45Ingredients wise
42:46This is pretty simple
42:47It's beef broth
42:49Little scallions
42:49A little meat
42:50The combination of the chewy texture
42:52And the flavor
42:52The noodles just intense
42:55Let's do more chilis
42:57And Chinese vinegar
42:58This place just smells like how I remember a noodle shop in China would smell
43:10Just filled with that great lamb and beef aroma
43:18Oh this is fantastic
43:19A little white pepper
43:20So glad I got these two dishes
43:22Again when I was trying to order
43:24I was mocked by the people working here
43:26They're like you can't order those two at the same time
43:27They're both soup dishes
43:29And I'm like
43:30Let me order what I want please
43:35Chase it with little pickled vegetables
43:38Again you can tell this is hand pulled because
43:40The noodle shapes and textures are different
43:43And that's where all that great mouth feel and chewiness comes from
43:47This is truly authentic Chinese beef noodle soup
43:54Well this is so convenient
43:55They actually have everything in English
43:56Grilled chicken, marinated pork
43:58Whole pork belly, intestines, rinds
44:00There's cold noodles for that 5,000 wang
44:02Soup 3,000
44:04There's soju, sodas
44:06Rice
44:07Okay
44:09Banchans
44:10Everything's here
44:14Get yourself some scallions
44:15Sesame oil
44:19And some salt
44:45Get yourself some scallions
45:10And turtles are so good
45:11First time I've had it since I've come to South Korea
45:15This place is so good
45:23Right now it's absolutely packed
45:25Every single table is taken
45:26The quality of the pork is delicious
45:28It's so nice and juicy
45:30I love that it's charcoal
45:33Makes such a big difference
45:34The pork is so fatty and nice that
45:37I like it
45:38When I kind of overcooked the meat a little bit
45:40So the fat is nice and charred like this piece right here
45:45I like it
45:46I like it
45:50Best way to eat this dough
45:54A little sauce
45:56Put it on the lettuce
45:58I like to add a couple pieces of raw garlic
46:01And a little chili
46:02Let's see
46:08Oh that's good
46:09Again having a real charcoal
46:10It's so vital to get that great smokiness into the pork
46:13I'm gonna eat this on my desk
46:20Also this is good quality pork
46:22They're using too
46:22No gaminess whatsoever
46:24There's so much fat
46:25And I love how you just crisp the fat up
46:31I mean that piece of fat just dissolved on my tongue
46:35This is a really good place to just kind of socialize
46:37So you see a lot of people here with their friends just sitting drinking
46:40Having a good time eating food
46:41Honestly if I lived here
46:44I'd be doing the same thing
46:45Next round
46:46Marinade and pork
46:47Always awesome
46:49But this right here
46:51Unlimited pigskin
46:54This is the treasure right here
46:56I would go to an all you can eat barbecue
46:58If they only had the all you can eat pigskin
47:01Because this stuff is amazing
47:04I think this is done
47:29So good
47:31So good
47:31The texture is just amazing
47:39Oh
47:40Oh the marinade pork is awesome
47:44When that thing chars up
47:45The marinade just
47:47Carmonizes it so nicely
47:54I highly recommend this barbecue
47:56You're gonna like it
