$8 VS $125 Buffet in Korea. Which One Wins!?

[@andrewkurtz6897]

Quick question Jimmy. Do you get more revenue from listening to your playlists on spotify or youtube? I like to listen to them a lot, but wanted to make sure you get maximum profit from your work. Listening to them on either app is fine with me, so whichever helps you out the most.

[@jimmykimtv]

I obviously have more plays on KZbin than on Spotify, but I think per play/stream the payouts are surprisingly similar. That’s why listening to my songs on any music platform can help me so greatly ☺️ (other platforms like Apple Music and yt music pay me too)

[@andrewkurtz6897]

@@jimmykimtv Cool. It's good to know I can support no matter where the playlist is.

[@FlavorofMind]

That story Jimmy dropped at the Katsu buffet 😂 I swear he loves taking these videos to the edge of awkward, and it makes for a great time, haha... Also, Jimmy, you already ARE a goddess! 😅

[@0212fin]

I'm at the stage of life where buffets don't appeal as much to me as it did when I was younger. 😢 But honestly speaking the $8 buffet wasn't bad at all! Literally stuff I would eat. 🤤

[@jimmykimtv]

Haha I honestly should be at the stage of my life where buffets don't appeal to me either... but one of the appeal for me is being able to try a little bit of all kinds of food, and not having to wait at all. $8 buffet would have been my second home if I was still in college!

[@misschin99]

There's a stage of life when that happens? I missed the memo then lol

[@jamesontang3218]

[@kazekai8]

Same I just feel like crap afterwards and since I am weightlifting I have not had any buffet in a while.

[@deebil8099]

Yea buffets are appealing when you're young and broke. If you want a variety of food, you're better off just going to a normal restaurant with a few friends and eating it family style. That's one of my favorite things about Chinese restaurants with those lazy susans in the middle of the table.

[@fengstar1]

That $8 buffet looked amazing, and that $125 buffet felt more like a $50 one. Great video as always Jimmy!

[@FlavorofMind]

That 2nd buffet is all over the road! Guacamole, garlic naan bread, chewy pizza, beef tartar, sushi... I would eat way too much if I showed up there 😂

[@Momoolein]

As you should if you pay 125$😂❤

[@TheLicewine]

My parents always struggled to provide food and education to 5 children. Paying $8 a person was like a week's food budget. It's all relative. Moving to better places is a healthy sign. Good luck to you!

[@Hawthorneheights888]

I can tell you put a lot of heart into making videos by the quality and I’m happy I found your channel. I loved seeing a place like this that I don’t find where I live and all the food looked so yummy! 🎉

[@AngyFirebomb]

[@tiffanyspliff9623]

That cheap buffet reminded me of a local "Asian" Buffet that I LOVED in high school. I was so sad when it closed. I had friends from other states who would travel up to eat there. Such a great deal and honestly good food. Sushi was good quality and fresh, even the oysters were fresh. I loved the stuffed mushrooms as well. It wasn't over the top, just a normal place run by a normal Asian family (As opposed to a mega corp or investor) making some pretty damn good food. Really sad it's gone. $12 a person for DINNER! Great date spot on a budget. Now the building is a crappy bar chain.

[@Brunaulf]

My girlfriend and I love to watch your videos, we always get super hyped for you when you talk about Spotify and lifestyle stuff like that.

[@superaj243]

Thanks for the quality content Jimmy. The food looks great and looks like it tastes good as well. Looking forward to more awkward stories about your ex as well

[@jimmykimtv]

Thank you ☺️ I think I’ll run out of ex stories at this rate!!

[@superaj243]

@Jimmy Kim you can spread it out over videos or tell stories from your time in the military lol.

[@aishulee2862]

Oh the Indian food definitely looks authentic! I was hoping you’d try Indian foods here in India next time!!! Big fan from India, Uncle Jimmy❤️

Loving these random stories you put in your videos, I always show them to my girlfriend because they make me laugh so much. Much love from Texas uncle Jimmy 🫶🏼

I thought Jimmy got sponsored when he made a commercial break, glad he's making money on spotify. I'm listening to you whenever I need studying music. Keep it up.

[@DestPestoDud]

What?! I didn't know you were allergic to shellfish. That is really sad :( Shellfish is so good 😔

[@jimmykimtv]

Thank you!!! And yes it is quite tragic. I mean… I can eat them because my allergies are mild, but to me they taste very fishy because I didn’t develop the taste

Both looked good… it’s just hard for me to eat a ton of fried food at one time! I loved the variety of food at the expensive one… every time I go to a nice buffet I go straight to the sashimi and eat my sushi for the price of the meal 🤣🤣 thanks for making me smile this morning 😘 I like your fluffy jacket, you look so gangsta 🔥🤘🏻👑

[@jimmykimtv]

Thank you! The weather got too warm suddenly in Korea so I can't wear the jacket anymore. And sushi, sashimi, and steak are the things that I prioritize at a buffet, too! 😊

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

The various katsu at the first buffet and the sushi at the second were deemed the best dishes at each restaurant. My Japanese side is beaming. Thanks for the fun vid, Jimmy! Glad you seemed to enjoy most of the food!

Yes we love Japanese food here in Korea!

[@fuuturetense]

[@matthewharty6531]

Highly entertaining. Love the tonkatsu place, looks ridiculously cheap for the quality and amount of food on offer. How did your army mate like it? Gutted that you can't eat shellfish, that's literally my favourite, I'd be eating plates of lobster. In the Uk you can easily pay 30-50 dollars just for one lobster dish. When I finally get to Korea that would be on my list. All the best from England. Love your Adidas jacket by the way.

[@gametri-eq6lj]

wow that's expensive lobster buffet is only 32 dollar in the u.s

[@thefancyunicorn]

for the same price it seems like you had a much better time at hotel shilla. i'm one of your spotify ajummas and honestly, it's helping me and my dogs sleep well at night. thanks nephew jimmy!

ah buffets...im almost at my prime so having a buffet meals starts to get tricky. but before, i always head straight to the expensive dishes section. i dont mind not to eat other dishes like pasta, saucy dishes or what i call hole in the wall food that are also typical dishes you can eat in a cheap restaurants. but the $8 buffet for a tourist, not bad.
