I Went to the LEGENDARY Street Food Market in Korea

Gwangjang Market in Korea is arguably the most popular place to visit for Korean food in Korea. It became extremely well known after being featured on numerous KZbin videos, and a Netflix documentary about street food. I feel like visitors tend to overhype their 'exotic' street food experience, so I went there to see if it really is as good as people say.
Is Gwangjang Market really the best place for street food in Korea?

I like how nice the people cooking the food were! I don’t know why but it was so cute to see the elder man smile and bow to you😅 and the elder lady who stirred your food and she smiled at the camera to show the food that was so sweet to me😅

[@jimmykimtv]

That was the best part of the tour!

[@yomismo6969]

I don't know why people go to those places...there are not cheap the food is greasy and with some questionable cleanest. In other videos you get a much better buffet for 5 or 10 bucks. I avoid those market food. There are just nostalgia and tourist traps.

[@Achiaaa]

Thanks for the honest reviews. It helps a lot when a local gives their opinion on the food. Often you’ll see youtubers eating certain kind of food and saying it’s super delicious. Most of the time these are Westerners eating Asian food they’re not familiar with, so I’m always skeptical about that.

[@jimmykimtv]

Yes! I'm not trying to hype up anything... honest reviews mean much more

[@cvb2733]

Jimmy you are helping me through exams, anxiety, and just life in general. Your channel is so comforting. Thank you for everything.

[@ani_mvx]

[@FPET03]

It's amazing getting a sneak peek into Korean culture from a local's perspective, but for a Western audience. Keep it up Jimmy you're doing great!

[@omnithewolf3628]

Shout out to the old lady stirring your food. I would want my hard made food eaten the right way too.

[@theskin_consultant2964]

Love this video Jimmy. I gotta add this place to my bucket list whenever I get the chance to visit Korea.

[@Pokeman_official1]

Loved the vid jimmy!❤

[@mattblom3990]

Ahh Kim Bob. When I used to teach English to Korean students in Coquitlam, Canada there was a small sushi place nearby run by a Korean guy. I preferred Kim Bob but was the only Caucasian Canadian customer that always ate it vs. Sushi. The owner was so happy, every time I would order he would say "You like Kim Bob?" I would say. "I love Kim Bob". Then he had the biggest smile, every time he said that because he enjoyed how someone preferred Korean style "sushi" rolls.

[@wtfcomedy3144]

Love these food vlogs , please do more such videos

Great content! And thanks for keeping it real. As an American who has traveled a lot (I've been to Korea twice) I hate when English speakers expect everyone to accommodate their limited language ability. So embarrassing. Keep up the great work! 👍
