$5 vs $60 Buffet in Sokcho, Korea. Who Wins?

[@jimmykimtv]

Which buffet won? 🤔

[@duksokheng5386]

I think the 5 $ buffet win

[@mrtictac9705]

first one defo Jimmy

[@RedragonReviews]

I definitely feel like the 5$ one because they can provide more since it's cheaper and the quality will be A+ since it's cheaper it's to keep customers coming back

[@qifangneo2240]

I would go for the $5 one just for the banchan!! 😍😁😋

[@jessicanippes1730]

Def the 5 dollar buffet ❤

[@MrRobot-jb5tI]

I would take a $5 buffet like that over any fancy restaurant any day. It’s clean inside and the food is good, now that’s a steal! Plus, you know the food’s definitely good especially when Grandma approves! The cost should be priceless.

[@KenzZzoe]

it's amazing how far jimmy has come, i remember the last video he did doing valorant videos and the very first upload of this new channel it didn't start well but he kept going that eventually led here i'm proud of you man

[@whatthefuckiswrongwithyou]

nah i remember watching the valorant shorts and then fighting the channel

[@satwikskatti]

I absolutely loved the first restaurant. While I was in Korea for a conference, I stayed in Sokcho for 12 days. The Halmeoni is so sweet and food was amazing. The thing I liked is that they change their menu every day. You sometimes get fish stew, Mapo tofu, Jjigae and all sorts of tasty stews. Loved it.

[@BlackFate483]

The second buffet is nice, but the first one looks amazing! For that price, you had a pretty good variety of food and they all looked like they were actually cooked from your own grandma ❤

[@ryanwilson3882]

Every time I eat, I always watch your videos. Your content is the best, Jimmy.

I'm new here so I've only seen like 2 videos, but this man is so effortlessly funny lol. He's funny without trying.

[@jaydenlee1228]

Jimmy, thanks so much for sharing these affordable places! I only wish i found this sooner. When I went, all the Korean BBQ restaurants i saw were $20 per 150g, which is just crazy.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

I think that he must avoid travel to China, if he wants to avoid food poisoning.

[@gametri-eq6lj]

thats expensive in my area you can get all you can eat kbbq and hot pot fot $28

[@dylantech]

There are plenty of all you can eat BBQ places for around $20, typically in areas with large student populations, and 150 g. for ₩8,000 are a dime a dozen, at least in Busan, Korea’s best city.

[@kng0000]

keep on going jimmy! you’re doing great ❤

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

So happy that the $5 option was good enough for you to give them some love. I would totally chow down on that 제육볶음.

[@charliepayne5145]

Food looked amazing ❤ great video as always!

[@Nxnja_edits]

Its been quite a journey, watching you and your channel grow, keep up the great work❤

[@JC-gw4jl]

For that price, I'd go there everyday. Homey, clean, nicely seasoned food for $5 can't be beat. We spend way more than that in america for a horribly unhealthy and low quality food

[@B-rice28]

Another awesome video Jimmy! The food(s) looks amazing but I think the $5 is more bang for the buck.

[@yelmolahat8]

That 5 dollar buffet is lit, you can't find anything with that price and quality in my country

[@naumbtothepaine0]

Dang Vietnam mentioned, glad to know that Korean love those rice noodles, and the $5 buffet is definitely a banger

[@blahbleh8560]

The most underrated channel on yt in my opinion

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Wow, yummy! Thanks so much for sharing! $5 for a buffet?! I am in! 😊

[@matthewjay660]

Jimmy, I'm MORE impressed with the Grandma's buffet serving fresh down-home Korean recipes at $5 than ALL the other expensive buffets I've watched you eat at. •I went to culinary school. Regarding your "well done" meat comment, in a buffet, for safety reasons, red meat HAS to be held at 140*F/60*C MINIMUM. Unfortunately, this continues to cook the meat thus drying it out. 🇺🇸🤝🇰🇷

[@joyelcock318]

Jimmy oh how I enjoy so much watching you on and your commentary is top notch. Loving your personality so much ❤

[@memin385iDeal]

ur channel has grown so fast W

[@djaj7144]

Hey Jimmy! Love your videos. I was wondering if you could do a video on activities. For example, activities you can do in Korea for 5 dollars vs 50. That would also be interesting!

[@ginettedelima5976]

Jimmy’s videos make anyone’s day better

[@theshawx2545]

That $5 buffet was definitely the better choice. Another great video, thanks for bringing out great food content.

[@Busybeeee]

This is legitimately an awesome video 😊👌

[@RedragonReviews]

The 60$ buffet looked good but like you said depending on the season or holiday you might expect food to be cold because its not busy. They do look like they have a great selection of food but i would go back to the 5$ buffet it looked and felt more home welcoming

[@chanzz4910]

I haven't watched jimmy in a while since my life was a bit busy but watching him is always so nice !! He is da best uncle :). Lets get uncle jimmy to 1M before Christmas guys !!

[@dhsauno]

i think "onion haseyo" is the most underrated hilarious thing you've ever said 😆

[@bryeuendo]

i really cant wait to visit Korea. SO MUCH GOOD FOOD. great vid :)

[@NewFoundLands]

The $5 buffet looked amazing! I really want to try it. My husband and I stayed in sokcho for a short vacation in like 2016. We stayed in a pink hotel. It was a lot of fun. I ate a lot of fried chicken but no buffet.

[@MeowjinBoo]

NOT THE BADGER SONG IT TOOK ME 20 YEARS TO GET THAT OUT OF MY HEAD NOOO

[@StoneColdSteveAustin316.]

We need Jimmy to be one of the biggest KZbinr in Korea and the world soon. OH HELLL YEAHHHH

[@wooklim9440]

Thanks for the review--it was solid. Was the granny buffet a "기사님" place? Amazing return on the ₩. As for the Sol buffet, pretty good assortment. I'm sure it gets super busy on the weekends/holidays. Desserts as good as Whole Foods? That's pretty good praise, even post Amazon takeover 😅

[@Myst1ccsj]

Love your videos, keep it up❤❤

[@Xyro-BlueRain]

Good morning Jimmy it’s 6AM in New Orleans I’ve been waiting for new videos from you I’ve watched almost all of them COME TO NEW ORLEANS JIMMY

[@BC250]

The $5 buffet looks like an amazing value!

[@ujiktaipei2249]

Hi Jimmy, please go to some unique restaurants in Korea like BBQ, Noodle shop, Vegetarians, Seafood-only, Milk-coffee shop, Halal-food or etc. I think with your vibe, it would be awesome

[@kamanama3671]

Jimmy, you’re so sweet for a second I thought you were gonna go back and try to wash your own dishes

[@ArwayneColomaTV]

If i was living nearby that $5 buffet ... 100% I would always eat there instead of cooking

[@fredrickeriksen8756]

Ahh first time im here within a minute :P Great videos tho man! Keep it going

[@kayipexplores]

Bro that Ferrari hoodie killed it 🤩the sushi looked really good 🍣👍

[@wallystravelsandeats]

Has anyone ever been kicked out for eating too much? It happens in US.

[@ashorts7362]

Some people like it😂😂😂 in kirea

[@cee_el]

When I was in Chuncheon during corona in 2020, I saw the local buffet for only 4000 won. That’s like less than 3 dollars at that time The 60 dollar buffet looks amazing but I think the 5 dollar one looks even better 😅 home cooking

[@pegster619]

As a San Diegan, I find it hilarious that you shouted out Phil’s bbq. Come back to SD, we’ll take you to Convoy

[@jimmynguyen231]

i like that you can pull so many languages out of your ass, that xin chao caught me off guard

[@Spiralblack3]

Jimmy, as your best friend, I can tell you your plating style is good. However, you could really take some tips from Sunjin!

[@mo_lob]

100% The 5$ buffet win, It looks a lot better in my opinion 😍😍

[@scottshep8978]

A lot of family owned(mom and pop) places will give you a better deal. So it's worth patronizing them. Nice video.

[@markw1247]

"I like this American pork rib" "They should put gochujang on it." 😂

IKR? 😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣 came here to see if there were any comments about it

[@Seakza]

I love ur vids keep it up

[@patrykmodrzejewski2913]

I have to ask: do you have all you can eat bufets in smaller towns as well? If yes, then I am even more jelous, than I was before. We only have few such places in Poland and from what I found out, you need to make reservatons for them ad they're pretty expensive. You usually get breakfast bufets at 3-stars (or better) hotels, but they're just that - breakfast items, diners are usually designated dishes served a'la carte. I believe some hotels do bufets for large groups of people (like for a conference) but you can't dine with them when you're not part of the group, even if you pay. That is exactly why I like dining in hotels abroad - you can try some regional cuisine and international dishes as well, and they often serve bufets for all meals (last time I ate like that while on vacation in Tunesia, and it was awesome). I also remember I loved going to uni caffeteria when I was staying in US (over a decade ago) as they had all you can eat lunch bufet. For like 13USD they had deli, pizza and garlic bread stall, daily special stall (taco Tueseday included), also some pasta, bbq, 2 or 3 soups, salad section, desserts (mostly various pies and cookies), sometimes even sushi rolls, and also few stations with fruits infused water, soda stand and soft serve stand. The food was always good or very good, and menu changed daily so it was always fresh. I really miss that caffeteria, almost as much as the people I met there :)

[@harrisonlee5854]

Seeing everything in the first buffet reminded me of being in my halmeoni's kitchen as a kid. Wish we had that in the states. :(

[@ZuziFox]

$5???? that's insane. I would eat there all the time, looks delicious

[@gametri-eq6lj]

you'd make 8 bucks an hour there though

[@cademancaden]

Same as minimum wage in NH

[@Mish0Picka]

Marketplace ahjumma buffe is the best. Where the locals eat is where its at.

[@lollollollol1622]

I prefer the first cheaper place the food looked more authentic Korean and the atmosphere looked better too

[@Ofdoom5159]

Jimmy I love your hoodie, were did you get it?

[@saskilla1945]

I feel exactly how u feel rn when you came off the first buffet just ate two fish sandwiches and a huge beefy burger.

[@anthonyxavier6300]

Just the tip while dipping the churros on the chocolate 😂

[@dczech4138]

That $5 buffter is clear win. Like pretty much that first plate was already worth that money.

[@stingercoy]

Finally buffet content

[@solaimankhansabbir9791]

I live in sokcho and i have been to that $5 restaurant many times,its nearby my home... They also give chicken which is very tasty.

Jimmy, why dont you make a mukbang channel? I would love to watch it everyday.

Is it snow behind you when you're recorder your intro?

I would get the cheap one too. Maybe the $60 one may be worth a try once.

[@kamanama3671]

Jimmy, anywhere outside of Texas it’s really hard to get a good pork rib in the United States as well

[@pno]

it's actually impressive how bad the 60 dollar one looks in france you get 4x more & its 20 euros lmao

Phil’s BBQ? It’s alright. I know you have been to a good restaurant on Convoy. Any good recommendations?

The 5 dollar hands down. Even if that place 10 dollars it still the place I pick over 60.

I would choose the $5 buffet over the $60 buffet
