[@magnusm4]

If I were to have a business dream, it would be a cafe with unique pastries. Love the almost art like deserts and beautiful cocktails with many variations of coffee drinks and teas or coffee cocktails. And I love making new things myself, especially from scratch. The dream would be to be able to buy large quantities of ingredients to get a lower prize so I could make more, get more practice and sell at a low prize below the normal average to let people try it more and feel like they can afford. Otherwise, especially now it's so expensive just to get a single cinnamon roll or plain muffin without squeezing the wallet more than a lemon. Seriously I know they have to cover the costs but can't they get lower market prizes from the produce makers? You could make 10 times more yourself today if you bought the ingredients yourself. Most of the time. But when it's cheaper to buy premade, something is seriously wrong.

Being a sushi lover in Seoul, this is the place I adore the most. After the boom of sushiya in Seoul in early 2010's, places in Cheongdam just drove up the price like crazy. Sushi became food that required studying, sushi chefs treating those with knowledge better along with crazy prices like more than $200 a pop on lunch. Chef Sangha really outdid these places with his passion with quality that is not far off from those crazy price places. He offers an ambience that is comfortable and not intimidating, and literally party like feel to the dinner. His sushi may not be the best in terms of ingredients, but his attitude and hospitality can't be matched by any sushiyas in Seoul.

I found it!!! knowing The neighborhood, I found a picture of The food At trip advisor. Crazy, The first picture I tried and it was The place. It is called Yeji Sikdang. It is in The Myeong dong nighborhood. Close to The Tourist Information Center. The address is Myeong dong 1(il) ga. There is a pizza Hut and a KFC close. (good references for People from US). Once you are At Myeong dong 8gil street, you have to look for an ally. Another references: CAT café and Lucky bag.

Playing around with street view I noticed The other side is better to find The ally. Look for happy lemon and Drop top café. Or Focus Building. The restaurant I ate is not The one At The front. You have to enter The alley.

Soooo humble and hard working. What a lovely person ❤️💯

[@honeyfarmer0]

I enjoy watching this show as well as comments respecting chefs. What a great channel.

[@sicboi]

Tony Bourdain would've loved this guy. He deserves a Michelin star.

[@Lee-bg9xy]

50000 won = 42.06 usd for his expensive meal?! I would be a regular too. 50000 won for 7 abalones damn that’s a good deal

[@JLKChee]

I don't think he serves all of it at the table for the 6. I'm pretty sure he sells some during the day, cause when he does the shopping it was more than 50 000 won

[@bearthefunnyguy]

You have to order one sake per person. It's sort of the rule there so it adds up to 100,000~120,000 won which is about $100USD. It's still a very good price for the quality of the food that he serves. He probably makes six figures considering Koreans drink a lot and he has so many regulars. I hope he does end up running his own hotel as he wishes :D

[@devljonas]

Where is this place?

[@bearthefunnyguy]

@@devljonas i don't know if i can reveal the address but it's close to Yangcheon-Gu Office station. Making reservation is super difficult here

[@NeoFryBoy]

@@bearthefunnyguy Glad to hear the guy's doing well. Seems like he deserves the success.

You guys are great, I love the littler places like yours. And you make it seam fun. I personally can't get enough of sushi.

[@johanneszhengdu4625]

WOW I wouldn't be able to make sushi while drinking this amount of Soju xD

[@golfmaniac007]

yup, i would get so many cuts to my fingers

[@hoeyuenann9678]

This guy is the very few that can call this type of life as 'normal'. Respect.

[@Tuariangamunotjiri]

I love this guy. What a nice personality and wanting the world to eat sushi. I treat myself rarely to one of my favourite food due to the cost.

[@mrpzpdx]

Love this thanks for posting!!

[@chekl1982]

Not gonna lie, this guy have a lot of charm. Love his work ethic for sure.
