It was so satisfying to watch you enjoy some of the food in my country. Thanks for giving insight into what the regular people of Korea might eat on a typical day. I've personally eaten in 4 of the 7 places you visited and I have to say, you are quite the food connoisseur!

[@krislv9219]

Please tell us the name of the Korean buffet so we can go when we go to Seoul next year? He only wrote it in Korean thanks

[@user-yw8sb2jq3e]

You make me drooling!!!!!!!! The way you say “Thank you” in Korean is so polite and respectful! You’re just amazing!

[@fredericasteller8939]

Yes, I agree!

[@platesoftate7152]

Have been watching you for years and this is SO thoroughly well deserved

[@jimoran5265]

I thought that buffet looked familiar! A few channels have gone behind the scenes in the kitchen to show how they make everything and it's so cool to see the before and after process of prepping the food then seeing it served and enjoyed.

[@krislv9219]

What’s the name of it? We are going to Seoul next year and I really want Togo and it’s only written in Korean?

[@maeve4686]

I've been watching since you started out. Your remark of why you like SK, I can't imagine you'd visit any country that didn't have amazing food ! After watching you eat tons (literally) of noodles, I bought every Ramen in my small town. I always thought they were versions of spaghetti, but gladly have been educated. Whatever happened to your Texas Restaurant ? Keep on eating, you lucky guy ! I'm 70 & cannot eat super spicey foods anymore. I raised bell peppers this year, sadly missing my spicy pepper plants😢...lol.

[@Bakaaa111]

Where are you from

[@Sarahcatluther]

Oh yeah I forgot about his restaurants!!!

[@ndb_1982]

He was playing fast and loose with money from the restaurant. He goes where he is paid. Not where the food is great.

[@prushaglli9026]

I am such a sucker for Japanese and Korean food hope I can travel there soon one day

[@kickbackweyoung]

[@Sophie.H]

Bibimbap is everything ! That looked delicious

[@stephaniealiceherbert2879]

The buffet looks good. We have a lot of Korean (buy by the pound) lunch options here in DC that look similar.

[@krislv9219]

Are they cheap or expensive?

[@cubabound2049]

Crazy how much cheaper, and BETTER, the food is in South Korea. That burger would have cost $10+ CAD here up north. The food looked awesome.

[@kaleb5926]

yeah its like $7 in ohio.

[@doomsday4004]

believe me, South Korea food is not cheap as you think

[@cubabound2049]

@@doomsday4004 Really? The place Mike went to seemed pretty reasonable and looked really good.

[@bbangguddonggu8437]

he did go to places that are known for being outrageously cheap... most Koreans would spend around $6-12 USD for a typical meal and tourists will probably spend a bit more than that since restaurants tourists go to tend to be overpriced

[@eduardolimaargimon5499]

Remember that it may be inexpensive to you but expensive to the locals. Had a customer from the US buy one Super 120 Wool suit at the shop I work in Brazil, he was like...Wow this is super cheap and of high quality, you people are lucky...for him it was 600 dollars, for us it's 2900 bucks, wich is 2 times our monthly income​@@cubabound2049

Happy Halloween everyone. Stay safe out there tonight.

[@kittydarling6405]

💚 감사합니다 Mike, I'd like to thank you for an episode you did some time ago with Eric Nam. After looking him up then, I have been a very loyal and passionate fan of his ever since. You never know when and where the next influence will come from that brings such happiness. I'm very grateful for you having been a part of it, as I'm a fan who enjoys you as well. Beautiful & delicious South Korea, wish I lived there with every fiber of my being! 감사합니다 ❤谢谢

I love Korean food!

I thought the Japanese egg sandwiches made me drool, but those Korean egg toast had me salivating at both ends 😅

[@adityatiwari5]

The cut to another place always looks like you start chasing random person 😂😂 and its hilarious

[@triciacoronel562]

11:37 please give the name and location of the STEAK! place. I’ve searched that name for clues and had no luck! Anyone else on here recognize the place and know the name and address?

[@fakruk]

Unlimited beer. Forget the food. I go for the beer

[@varnlestoff]

When you dunked the egg sandwich into the potato soup my soul died a bit because I don't have that right now.

Great looking food, made my mouth water!

[@kativ46]

It would be great if you started a company that sold noodles, and sauces of all kinds because they're impossible to find in this country. We ALL want to enjoy these noodles as you do,,,,,,

[@hanj31]

I'm doing the spicy seafood noodle soup one. That's my favorite thing to get at a Korean Chinese place

[@AL-ws5yi]

[@thehohcollective5201]

Much respect to mike for doing a soup kitchen tour. lol

[@JaimeDrewatWoodenU]

Curious, what is the reason for dipping the noodles rather than the sauce just being on them already?

[@whojang2000]

Japanese style noodle dish made to be eaten that way(According to the Japanese people)

[@cee_el]

Cause the soup is quite thick and much richer than normal ramen soups. So it’ll be quite salty if you pour the noodles inside the soup

[@macsungminson3583]

So the noodle keeps its freshness and chewyness.

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Really like the One is Mashi China & their Tang Su Yuk near Hongdae

[@DragonOrbProductions]

the jaja noodles seems tasty, im not sure if ill enjoy that sauce, as i am not a asian

[@darkphoenixb4u81]

Scum company sold customer data for profit. Big red flag

6:59 Soup is Cow-blood soup, Not the Pig-blood.

[@peepercoco]

Is Jajangmyeon spicy?

[@macintoshhjball4686]

no

[@johnnychang4233]

It's not, au contraire, it's kind of sweet. That's why Mike added dry chili pepper powder to give it a kick.

[@adsyalbert9y234]

It can be spicy, but the Korean version is usually more savory with a hint of sweetness. Maybe think rich soy sauce with a hint of sweetness?🤷🏻‍♂️

Mike Banchan is a collective noun so need to put an S on the end of everything Hope wifey scolded u

Unbelievably cheap! That one bowl of Jajang Myun would cost between $14 to 17 here in Southern California. And not all you can eat.

I'd quickly become morbidly obese if I ate just half as much as Mike.

[@nathancasey7712]

Man food is so cheap in Korea

[@hyltonlutge3774]

Food for thought: If an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, the answer is that the unstoppable force is redirected. The unstoppable force has two characteristics, movement and direction. Only movement must remain constant. The immovable object has one, it cannot move. Therefore, the unstoppable force is redirected.
