Best Korean BBQ in Auckland New Zealand

[@FoodandFootprints]

You’re so right - nothing beats nostalgia! Love going back to spots from childhood that are still going strong

[@PeterandYen]

Choi's is still there 1 year after making this video. Here's to another 10 years 😁🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen Yeah! Hopefully for a very long time. Would like to check them out too

[@FoodandFootprints]

Love when Korean BBQ spots use charcoal grills. Adds such a nice flavor!

[@PeterandYen]

Jami especially use high quality charcoals which coats the meat with a really mouth watering charcoal scent 😍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen Jami was the one that appealed most. The beef ribs look great!

[@_lenasnow]

Oh! My! Gawd! You guys have those, too? We have a ton of All You Can Eat ones here in K-Town, Los Angeles... so I guess if we move, we won't miss out on K-BBQ #reason2 of considering a move to NZ 😁😁😁

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yes we got a variety of Korean bbqs, even the all you can eat kind 😊👌 my friend says that's some of the k town spots are next level amazing though. Lol let's see how many reasons we can give you to come to NZ 👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Those mini pancakes are cool! Not used to seeing them that size. And that’s part of the banchan? Awesome!

[@PeterandYen]

Yup it's part of the banchan, maybe it's a thing unique to New Zealand. We see them quite often at Korean places here. They are my favorite side next to the kimchii 🤤

[@FoodandFootprints]

Peter and Yen That’s awesome. We love the seafood and kimchi pancakes. Funny thing is that we ended up eating Korean food tonight, but not BBQ

[@PeterandYen]

O seafood n kimchii pancakes are bomb! Nice Korean food always a treat.

[@Isabella793]

Finally got to watch some episodes. Felt mouth watering at 8pm in bed. Have got a few places to take my parents around now. I love Korean food. so thanks for the recommendation

[@PeterandYen]

Funny to hear your old intro - Best Eats Auckland!

[@PeterandYen]

Pahahaha at this point we were still making monopoly videos 😂

[@catherinekhoo474]

[@PeterandYen]

Heya Tasha yes absolutely come and visit Auckland the food scene here has gotten so good 😉👌 there is so much variety from all the different cultures living here ❤ do let us know if you try one of the spots 👍

[@thegirlwithnoname3187]

@@PeterandYen thanks guys will totes do 😀

[@donnybrascocoliogne9833]

Gangnam korean bbq on lincoln rd, (old valentines restaurant) west auckland is awesome...So good to see old valentines being replaced with good korean bbq eatery.

[@PeterandYen]

Oooo awesome thank you so much for the recommendation! Will need to check it out when we're in the area

[@bhanani5480]

I was going to start watching your videos in chronological order but then I spotted yr Best Korean In Auckland video, so of course I clicked on it (I've been watching a ton of korean programs on Netflix) and the best thing is that these restaurants, except that NShore one, are right in my neighbourhood but for sure I'll be checking out those others - korean food is my top 3 cuisine to eat.... I'm hungry now, dang it. Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@PeterandYen]

Yo Bhanani! Hahaha chronological is pretty good to watch it in but I understand the food distraction lol 😆 Unfortunately Choi's in meadowlands has closed down not too long ago now I think mr choi finally decided to retire or something since it's not there anymore unfortunately. These videos are pretty old we warn you so you'll probably notice a bit of a difference in our vlogging 🤣🤣 Cheers for watching regardless 🤣👍

[@bhanani5480]

@@PeterandYen Thanks for that heads up about the Meadowlands one. Did you guys ever try the Korean place that use to be in Highland Park? It's not there anymore but this was my absolute favourite korean place to eat. The manager left and someone else took over, the food was still nice but not as nice as the previous manager. I didn't know she had left and I'm gutted I never got to say goodbye to her. I would love to know if she went to work for another restaurant. Also there is a really nice Korean restaurant on Dominion Rd, the shizzle and very affordable 👍👍👍

[@PeterandYen]

Hmm highland park.. where abouts though? We can only think of that lil hub area where there's a tmark, a rio bakery use to be (coz back in the day it had a net cafe and we'd play counterstrike there 😂). Or is it the other side where the old cinema use to be? Can only remember a few of the food places there.. mainly a Thai restaurant 😅 Sux when a great restaurant closes ay! And especially when you don't know so don't get to say goodbye to the owners. It's happened a few times to us and we're always guttered!

[@linnyunt]

K-BBQ for the win! This looked so amazing. Wow, I never thought about fish in K-BBQ. And again, not a drop spilled on your shirts! You should make a video on how you don't spill anything on your shirts. Haha

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yeah I find the only time I get food on my shirt is when I eat laksa or a red coloured Malaysian noodle 😅 Korean bbq is the best though. New Zealand has come a long way in this space. Almost summer so looking forward to getting some deliciousness.

[@mkco4052]

i love korean food!

[@PeterandYen]

We love Korean food too 😁👍thanks for watching and dropping us a comment 😊👋

[@christiantessari]

Oooo what a great channel and video !!!! I love bbq 😁

[@PeterandYen]

Hello thank you for joining the channel. We both share a love for food and travel it seems ❤

[@christiantessari]

Peter and Yen oooo yeah !!!! Some of the great thinks in the life 😄👍 lets stay in contact and support each others !

[@fletcher-m4p]

Korean food is my favourite cuisine so this is making me hungry 🤤

[@PeterandYen]

Hahah it's a great cuisine! Been awhile since we've had it tho. Have you had any Korean takeaways during lockdown?

[@fletcher-m4p]

@@PeterandYen No, there aren’t any nearby :( I go into the city centre when I have Korean food

[@drugqueens]

Here in the Philippines, WE LOVE KOREAN BBQ!!! 😍😍😍

[@JefflesChangy]

Great video man - love KBBQ, and seems like the ones that you guys get in Auckland are quite authentic too. Making me hungry already! Any chance there are Chimek places (Korean deep fried chicken + beer) in Auckland as well?

[@PeterandYen]

Yo Jeffles glad you enjoyed the episode! There are quite a few really good Chimek places they are normally around the asian clubs.

[@johnfang1761]

i recommend the best KBBQ might be one chicken in takapuna maybe you can check that out. beef rib is fantastic

[@PeterandYen]

Ooooooo thank you so much for the recommendion! Gonna try that this weekend now hahahaha 👍if you ever have any other recommendations shoot them through would love to hear about them 😊

[@KWL28]

Delicious!

[@PeterandYen]

Yes!

[@princessmoana7990]

Mmmm yum! Will defs check out Jami too 😍👌

[@PeterandYen]

Princess Moana you have good food taste. Jami is a great choice if you like Korean bbq the meat is such high quality and the charcoal flavour is a nice touch. If you have a big appetite like me though might get expensive 😓😁👍

[@MsSofielee]

New sub :) awesome video

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you for joining the community 😊✌ glad you enjoyed food too. This is one of our older videos too we like to think we got a lil better since then hahahaha 😎

[@PeterandYen]

Guys there is a whole bunch of best eats episodes I want to do in Auckland but if there is anything in particular you all want to see leave a comment here. If anything gets a lot of traction I will get it done ASAP!

[@gnfb]

Here is the thing I live in outback Whanganui so the only way I am going to get Korean BBQ is if I make myself. Would it be a chefs secret telling me what cuts of meat to buy in New Zealand? Understand if you rather not :)

[@scoscoball]

Yay proud🇰🇷🙌

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yeah we love Korean food. This episode was done a while ago and we're thinking about doing a Korean buffet one 😁👍

[@russellturner1909]

Mate so hungry😋😋😋

[@PeterandYen]

😂👍 hope you get a mean feed

[@pxiao914]

Awesome video! You made a rookie mistake though when eating Korean BBQ; white tees are dangerous 😢

[@PeterandYen]

It's ok bro I'm a pro with laundry, stains don't worry me hahaha 👌

[@taurifleming1578]

That was chois guys

[@PeterandYen]

😂😂😂 that's 👌 I spent a solid 5 min trying to come up with one but you win 😁

[@tongsupavit]

All you can eat 20dollar in Auckland city

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Tong C are you talking about the one on queen street? If you are that place was a favourite of ours back in university times but these days we go to Paldo or gangnam style Korean bbq for our buffet goodness 😁👍

[@barristanselmy2758]

Choi's has shut down. He's retired.

[@PeterandYen]

Yea very sad! We made this video 2 years ago and it felt like an end of an era after Choi's closed!
