Is Food in Koreatown Legit?

[@frmheadtotoe]

Yayyy! This was so much fun to watch! I wish I could have taken you guys to a really good LA-style KBBQ place while you were here but that means next time that will be priority. :D MISS YOU SO MUCH ALREADY!!!!!

[@joshuapark6082]

+From Head To Toe IKR? KBBQ in Ktown is the bombskies. You should take them to Kogi King! AYCE! Awww yissss

[@eatyourkimchi]

Is food in LA's Ktown legit Korean food? We ask our friends David Choi and Jen From Head To Toe to be our guides to legit Korean food in LA.

[@cl9197]

whoop. haha.

[@bhellapark]

Eat Your Kimchi my hubby also loves wating korean food specially kimchi..but martina just like to ask..are you still going to continue making videos on HOW to cook korean foods??please reply...love a lots from PHILIPPINES

[@CastleAdventures]

Eat Your Kimchi Do we have Leigh to thank for all the 'Murica edits in this? XD Cause they were glorioussss

[@DeliciousSanity]

You guys should come to Arcadia for the Young Dong in Pavilions plaza! Best soondooboo I had in my life!!

[@littleme901]

bhella park You should check out Maangchi's channel. It's a Korean cooking channel and she speaks decent English.

[@CupcakesForever10]

In all of the Korean restaurants I've been to they served the potato salad with apples in them and I thought it was delicious! So I looked up the recipe and it's actually called "Korean Style Potato Salad", not American. Americans aren't very hyped about putting fruit in their potatoes. :/

[@got2many]

열정 that's exactly what I was thinking. American's don't put apples in potato salad. that's different to me.

[@yellowRose806]

My Korean mother makes it occasionally for family reunions. I think it's an old modern recipe from her generation. I always love eating it.

[@interfuze9470]

Decore Flagranti yo I always begin with that I swear I’m korean but I was born in Los Angeles

[@elektracity205]

Really? In Ohio or where I'm from people put grapes in their potato salad and it's good.

[@Chemeleon15]

Elektracity20 I’ve heard of grapes in chicken salad, but never heard of it in the potato salad.

[@BrittanyNicole]

this is so cool to see you guys compare because this is basically a real genuine comparison (except for maybe someone who's lived in korea their whole life). i don't think anywhere near where i live has really good korean food. not that i would know if it was good or not though lol ....one of these days ill get my hands on some good korean food.

[@michie2x2mia]

how cool would it be if JKnews and EYK did an collab

All this food looks so good but I feel like if I ever went somewhere like that I would have no fucking idea what I'm ordering

[@ile2928]

Omg me too! I would be so confused

[@leekymkween]

Hanna Huddleston just ask them what's popular. or go for the safer dishes like black bean noodles, bibimbap, seafood pancake, fried chicken

[@gokussjgssj4818]

it took me so long to watch this (and by so long I mean a week) cause I love you guys, and David Choi and Jen so much and wish I could meet you all at once. it makes me so happy seeing some of my favorite youtubers all together sad I missed you guys, next time come to Tahoe!

[@sarahsquared518]

The fact that Martina says Man-Doo instead of Mahn-Doo makes me cringe, especially when she's talking about how different the "American" mandu is compared to Korean mandu. Unless she's joking about the pronunciation, then it's totally cool.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Sarah Squared Relevant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyqoImbm82ng7M

[@sarahsquared518]

But mandu is pretty easy to pronounce... lol

[@itsjen5082]

Who cares miss perfect. I understood exactly what she said. That's all that matters.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Sarah Squared So are lots of other Korean words, but if you're speaking to people in English then you sound pretentious if you over pronounce everything. It's not a matter of difficulty, but of accessibility, and keeping the conversation going.

[@sarahsquared518]

Eat Your Kimchi But you're not over pronouncing it? Like if you say doenjang jjigae, that is usually a harder word for Americans or any person who isn't a native Korean speaker to pronounce. And I get that. You shouldn't have to over pronounce words if it's just making it harder for all of the people listening. But, in my opinion, if you're already making the effort of judging Korean food in LA compared to food in Korea, it would make sense to pronounce words that are easy to pronounce the way they are supposed to be pronounced? I still enjoy all of your videos regardless of how you pronounce things haha but it is just an opinion I have.

[@ckimberly35]

the editing in this video was so flipping cool!!! I love the retro video game feel ahhhh.

[@beatnix99]

Soondubu was actually invented in LA koreatown by Korean expats and exported back into Korea.

[@swicheroo1]

I just wrote this. But people are not-knowers. That's why amateur-hour people are out of their depth at a certain point. LOL.

[@justpassingby2932]

Thank you guys for making this video!!! I live in NY and there's a KoreaTown near me and I really want to try good Korean food. But I was not sure if it's LEGIT... So thank you! KoreaTown is Eat Your Kimchi approved!

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Um, traditional American potato salad doesn't have apple in it, but I've definitely seen apples popping up randomly in squash and potato salad in Korea (and both are very sweet).

[@Amerie.]

I took my mom (who is Korean) to Ktown to try a few places but had no idea where to go. My parents will be back here soon so I'm bookmarking this. ^_^ As it was, my 어머니 wasn't so impressed by the places we went to. She said the three places we went to had food that wasn't made "the traditional way."

[@DavidsonLoops]

So apparently the choice of the restaurant doesn't matter for David Choi as long it's good drunk food lool

[@bookswithb2684]

Aw, you guys went to BCD my fave!! It's so fun to hear whether these local spots are authentic to their origin. Super cool!

[@skinnydips8086]

That potato salad with Apple is not American....

[@Silentgrace11]

Skinnydips Maybe she was referring to the distinct flavor? The typical, overwhelmingly mustardy potato salad is very much an American strongsuit ^^"

[@usagifelton]

Silentgrace11 I don't think so, the potato salad wasn't even orange which it would have been had it had loads of mustard. She was referring to the apple, which is most defiantly NOT American. I've never had potato salad with an apple in it, and don't plan to either.

[@Silentgrace11]

Usagi Felton You'd be surprised, actually. I've basically given up on expecting mayonnaise potato salad when I'm at events and such. At least around here, many store-bought ones have built up a ratio where they can have super mustardy potato salad while it still looks pale, and it wouldn't surprise me if there are home methods to do it too (I wouldn't know. I just use my great-grandmothers mayonnaise salad recipe). All that aside, I honestly don't know if apple is common or not. I think I've seen it at restaurants once or twice, but it was at a passing glance and I don't know if it was an international special or not. I wonder what it adds to the recipe. Additional texture, perhaps? Or maybe sweetness...I don't think it needs anymore sweetness, but we also use homemade sweet pickles and that does the job nicely ^^"

[@AntMixFilms]

I have had apples in my potato salad. The apple gives it a crunch.

[@Silentgrace11]

AntWorld Ah! Okay :) thank you for the explanation.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Cool that you took suggestions from LA based KZbinrs/KZbinrs who did Korea Town food reviews. Your videos, especially FAPFAP, have gotten me excited about trying Korean food in addition to just barbecue meats and a zillion pickled vegetables and side dishes.

[@stephanielyn530]

well... there is literally nothing Korean in my town. I mean, we recently got some King's Kimchi at the grocery store, and that's basically the only Korean food you can buy in a 200+ mile radius of my town. at least I don't have to get kimchi on Amazon anymore.

[@Cosmosandchisme]

😱 where do you live?

[@stephanielyn530]

I live in St. George, UT. It's extreme southwest corner on the state, and the closest big city is Las Vegas!

[@kristine5203]

+Stephanie Erickson So you live near area 51? Seen any aliens around lately? :D

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

Krist Biene Could aliens be the reason kimchi is difficult to find there? Something to think about...Sorry, had to go there, lived in Roswell ;))

[@stephanielyn530]

Krist Biene no aliens, but I DO live less than 100 miles from an old atomic bomb testing site, so if I ever wanted to get cancer, I could visit that!!

[@cyanidedreams6117]

I don't know if you've already made a video on that topic (if yes - please, forgive me but I couldn't find it :/) but could you recommend any books or websites for learning Korean? Finding a private teacher or local language courses is not an option, unfortunately. Thank you for your reply if you ever see this message!

[@sejembalm]

I appreciate the little cheap joints that introduce you to foreign foods. For me, it was the 16th Street food court in Denver, Colorado that had a little Korean food stall. Really good and inexpensive dishes like bulgogi (grilled marinated beef) and galbi (marinated beef or pork short ribs) that got me interested in other Korean dishes like Korean-style twice fried chicken (KFC!) and their wildly spicy ramyeon instant noodles.

The thing about the spam is that in America it carries a slight stigma of being low class food. If served spam in a restaurant, besides those specializing in it, I believe most Americans, and myself included, would feel skimped and offended.

[@aileean941]

got2many You should go to Hong Kong style cafes then, they serve spam for breakfast. Does American restaurants not serve spam?

[@haedamgom940]

I don't know if they consider it too low class. I mean spam musubis have been popular for a while

[@crypticlolita]

+I ship It I can't say spam is completely ruled out BUT most non-Asian people I know think spam is nasty. The only people I know that like spam in fact are Asian people. I suppose there might still be spam served in Asian restaurants but yeah, it is not that popular compared to Asia. For example, the Denny's menu doesn't serve spam AT ALL, the closest thing I can find is ham. Source: Hong Kong Chinese living in Canada.

[@aileean941]

Coco Violet yoooo Hong Kong Chinese here too!!! But I live in LA... and I live in a densely Asian populated neighborhood sooo its easy to find spam at the restaurants.. didn't know it was mostly asians that liked spam. :O

[@crypticlolita]

I ship It hahaha yeah it was weird for me too since I grew up eating a lot of spam in tong sum fen and fried rice. When I grew up and talked to more white people I was very surprised that spam had such a bad reputation >.< But yeah, all my East Asian friends eat and like spam in fried rice!

[@conejitoasesinoOG]

Unfortunately you are not gonna find a bibimbap for less than $10 ANYWHERE in America :( Tho the one i had in the Korea town mall cafeteria in L.A. looked waaayyy better than the one you had Martina.

[@MsthugbearBlogSpot]

is the mall where Honeybees is located? I found it one day circled around the block and lost it >_> but there was a big building with shops all in it, and there was a kdorean bbq place nearby and down the street somewhere was It's Boba Time! I've only been to ktown twice sorry if my descriptions are vague

[@elynbeth]

conejitoasesinoOG 8 dollars down the street from my house here in South Carolina. And way better than that monstrosity she showed.

[@elynbeth]

Arirang. They also give you at least 14 banchan. Delicious.

[@ambitiouslyahraea]

+conejitoasesinoOG I live near the bay area where we have a small ktown, and our bibimpbap is under $6 :) Or free if my halmoni makes me some :)

[@StormyHallahan]

This is false. SLC, UT has a hand full of korean resteraunts that have dolsot bimbimbap for reletively the same price you would get it in Korea. (obviously a little more expensive but still "cheap")

[@LaurenSmith2911]

Glad to say I am from LA. I will definitely check these places out when I go back home. In the mean time, I need to find some Korean places in BHam Alabama.

[@skyjkim]

although i found the comparisons interesting i dont think its fair to comment on the "legitimacy" of korean food in LA. i grew up in LA and have spent many summers in korea so i can share my opinions on the differences of the foods. in LA, korean food is often prepared traditionally however since we live in such a cultured and diverse city it allows cooks to be free with preparing meals. its the same food, but different recipe. how else are these restaurants ganna compete with each other. the bibimbap that you had is very unique but i can assure you that if you walk into any other korean restaurant they will make it how its usually made (with carrots, bean sprouts etc). i think just going to one restaurant out of the dozens in LA wasnt doing LA korean food any justice. of course im not holding this against you but i want people watching this video to look down on LA korean food also im ganna point out that korean food in LA has become its own culture, a culture that is specific only to LA. korean bbq has become a trendy and popular food amongst non koreans and even in korea korean bbq has become adopted. you will find that some restaurants in korea will specify "LA style korean bbq" on the menu versus the traditional korean style. it is not that korean food in LA isnt legit. its not really all that comparable anymore since its evolved into something different i hope this made sense i know my thoughts are all jumbled. ive never posted a comment on youtube but this topic really had my mind going

[@skyjkim]

***** i *dont want people watching to look down on LA korean food

[@bobchu82]

+Sky Kim I agree. Also, in a 2.5 mile radius, Koreatown packs a gigantic number of Korean restaurants. Some are known for their banchan, some are known for their fish dishes, naengmyun (like Yu Chun Chic which I thought was just OK), some in BBQ, some in traditional Korean, some in the "royal banquet" style, etc. etc. etc. 3 restaurants, one of which is a global chain, one of which I think is terrible after drinking food, is not a fair sample

[@dpproductions3859]

+Sky Kim I agree and it's difficult if they're comparing it to one particular dish at one particular restaurant in Korea. Even among restaurants in Korea I'm sure different restaurants have slightly different tastes for the same dish. They're not all carbon copies of each other. It seems kind of unfair to be judging based on how "close it to" one at a particular restaurant in Korea.

[@dot5483]

+Sky Kim As long as it's not evolved to cater to non-Korean tastebuds, it's legit. Can't say the same for American Chinese food. Not hating here, I'm Chinese.

[@marier8947]

I absolutely agree 100% with you. I love the food here in Korea Town in LA. Same dishes but different ingredients for different restaurants. For example Mexican restaurant, same dishes but different ways of making in different restaurants. It just all depending on your taste buds really.

[@nardugan]

I knew it wasn't going to be good the moment you guys showed up at hodori. That place was popular when I was in college mostly because it was open 24 hours. There is are a lot more places to check out next time you guys make it to LA, especially if you head out to Orange County.

[@MrStickyDonut]

Apples are really common in Korean potato salad tho

[@Raphanne]

Heather Farley-Marshall Oh, that's cool! Did you buy the bowls and everything? I'm much better at eating stuff than making them, unfortunately. :D

[@Silentgrace11]

Raphanne There are absolutely no Korean restaurants in my general area (unless you include one of the Chinese restaurants run by people from Korea ^^") so I had to learn to make it on my own. Delicious and definitely worth while

[@ephinyus]

+Raphanne I found the bowls in an asian food store. Sadly, I have to drive about 1.5 hours away to go there. I live in a small town lol.

[@NerfPaladins]

[@daynaplum6624]

my school cafeteria in Korea served that kind of potato salad all the time..sometimes it was apple, sometimes it was corn. It was usually served on the 'Western' food days (along with the crazy sweet spaghetti), so I think it's a Korean person's attempt at Western food. So it's totally Korean..but Korean-style Western food

the apple in potato salad is a norm for many Korean people. I'm Korean, and every time I had potato salad from a Korean person it was sweeter, had apples in it or another fruit or vegetable (cucumber, orange slices, pear, sometimes even sweet potato noodles chopped up). I don't think that's "American" because most American style potato salad tastes very different either heavily mayo based or mustard based.

We have a k town in Carrollton Texas, would've been cool to see you review their food! Lol I love it! Om nom nom Korean food!

Simon!! I had the exact same ham and sausage soondubu at BCD in LA but I don't know what I was thinking and I thought the sausage was going to be like Italian sausage or something haha.

I don't know if you guys are still in LA, but when you're in the area try Morandak! They have very authentic and absolutely delish North Korean-style naeng-myun, and they're quite generous with their extra service. :)

I wish I could find a traditional Korean restaurant where I live. Every time I watch you guys eat I want some sooooooooo bad😩.

[@etatauri]

You guys need to go to Dansungsa. The atmosphere is awesome.

[@Lenabobena91]

We have a BCD in Seattle and I LOVE IT. Now I'm really hungry and wanna go.

Your new videos don't show up in my subscription feed, Whyyy??? I have to check your Channel periodically to catch up on your videos

[@eatyourkimchi]

That's so weird! You know what you can try: if you have the KZbin app for your phone, you can click on the bell next to our name and it'll give you a notification when we upload. Maybe that'll work?

Did you guys get to go to New York's version of "Korea Town" and by Town I mean block because it's literally a block long... If not there did you go to Flushing, Queens? Because that's more like a Korea Town...well Asia Town due to the huge variety of Asian restaurants. But there are a lot of Korean restaurants in Flushing, especially on Northern Blvd, which has mainly Korean spots.

omgg you guys need to make videos of toronto's korean restaurants and tell us if they are worthy of it O..O kimchi korea house is da best for me so far o.o
