[@adrenalice7827]

​@@legendary548 I assume from the tone you're taking on the matter that you're Korean? You do realize this is literally the same as going to karaoke. "Why should you go to Karaoke when you can pick up cheap microphones and sing off your laptop playing instrumental from KZbin?" It is an experience just as much as the food. And besides, I don't think anyone wants to clean up the mess after a barbecue and so going to a restaurant for that experience without having to clean your house and have it smell of cooked meat is a pretty understandable reason. Such a weird take to have about Korean barbecue.

Upscale places are almost never worth it. They can sometime be worth it just for the experience, but besides that they're just overpriced for maybe a 1% - 5% increase in flavor, but a 100% - 1000% increase in price.

[@cpK054L]

"Upscale" This place just needs to fool 1/10 of the customers just to break even

[@dailyrant4068]

The meat is definitely lower grade. It’s fine if you think it’s too expensive. It’s no different than “fancy pasta”. People need to be realistic. I personally would choose the $35 if it’s decent enough but there are tons of crappy buffets too.

[@lordalex027]

​@@dailyrant4068Definitely it's lower grade, but the fact is that a higher price can't magically make something that many times better. A 100 dollar steak is not going to taste 2 - 4 times better than a 30 dollar steak. It's going to taste maybe if you're generous 2% - 10% better. Hell, with steaks being the topic wagyu, and it's more prestigious kobe beef brother are both not always fan favorites of people. It's meat butter, and while a lot of people like it some people don't. The reality is that most people just don't see the point in spending that kind of money on that type of steak. Maybe once every blue moon as something special, but that's about it.

[@dailyrant4068]

@@lordalex027 Considering all these fancy restaurants exist, you are clearly wrong that "most people don't see the point of spending". Go to ANY fancy steakhouse in a major city, and you are looking at close to $100 a person. Any Michelin star rated restaurants will set you back anywhere from $100 to 500 a person. Sorry but I think youtube just has a lot of poor people who don't realize what people spend money on and then make grand statements about how "no one else sees the value". You're not wrong entirely, the diminishing return is a simple economic principle.

[@bruceleroy849]

150 is a robbery for that meat lineup… really chicken? You pay for the experience I guess

@@DappaOni In this case yes, but most of the time, it's not even fancy. It's just expensive and poor quality. It kinda only does two things, depending on the person you are: 1.

You never try it again and maybe never try the cuisine again. 2.

And every few minutes they swap out the pan we’re using because it gets too hot and the meat will start to stick and burn.
