THE BEST Korean BBQ in Seoul! BBQ BEEF ALLEY Meat Market | LOCAL SECRET!

I've eaten at a lot of #Korean #BBQ restaurants but after visiting the meat market in #Seoul Korea I could not believe how amazing the meat quality they had. The best part was that you could buy your own meats as much as you want and pick out a restaurant to cook it.
The places I went to:
✧ 47th Avenue Tea House
47-9 Insadong-gil, Gwanhun-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea
✧ Majang Meat Market
53 Majangno 33(samsipsam)-gil, Majang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Mike's mom must be the best cook in the world to be able to out do the billions of bowls of noodles he's had

[@qupeter1224]

Majormetalitron cokacola come on, you cannot beat the taste of love

[@James-miller]

Yeah I can imagine the review if she made bad noodles 😱

He probably knows better!😂😂

Nah he hates them

I’m so glad Mikey is creating this type of content because it’s the only way it’ll get to taste food like this....through the phone screen 😕

[@Mr.Politic27]

Good enough

Same.

[@tatisuwati9546]

True true. I'm watching this vid while I'm eating my broke dish; sunny side egg with rice, and it feels like Mikey sat exactly in front of me and we're eating bbq together. I feel fancy! 😂

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

Too early for puns? Yes, but I haven't slept in days, seoul have at it.

[@skel_raven]

This deserves a pin

[@imaramblins]

Lionel Hutz on the Simpsons.... "Join me in a belt of Scotch?" Marge: "it's 9:30 in the morning!" Lionel: "yeah, but I haven't slept in days." lmao. Love it!

[@bokkeumjaeyuk3391]

hey guys sweet and sour pork isn't that cheap usually it's around 13-16 dollars! but of course the portion is bigger. that place he went is unique

[@SahilKhan-gu6xw]

If mike was a character in a fanatics anime he would have chopsticks as his choice of weapon

[@marilynalvarez9951]

and a noodle shooting gun :)

[@noeinroad7294]

That actually sounds cool! I wonder what his tag line would be?

[@Allexstrasza]

"This is the best I've ever had!"

[@FecalMatador]

noein road “Better skedewdle or you’ll get the noodle” Okay, that sounded better in my head...

The absolute best beef I've had in the world is Hanwoo in Korea because of exactly what you said Mike. Hanwoo has that perfect balance between lean and fatty. Wagyu is too fatty and American is too lean. Hanwoo just has that indescribably euphoric flavor married with the right amount of tenderness.

[@jinkim23]

Korean pork is incredible too.

[@JforAll00]

@@jinkim23 aren't korean porks basically same as americans? i heard they raise the same species.

[@Xentradi97]

​@@JforAll00 Korea does have native species of Pig. Jeju Pig in particular are highly prized for its flavour.

and eat everything you find am I right? I feel you bro.

[@yasmin5630]

I successfully did my first ever solo trip to seoul on christmas,i was inspired by you mike! I never thought solo travelling could be that fun, i was just strolling around,eating,localising🤭 I wish i could meet you someday, and eating together😊

[@granavelenciamethalaka]

I've been looking forward to doing that in Korea too. I especially want to do the bbq. Did you eat it all by yourself? How is the vibe? Only asking because I've heard that it's better with friends than all by yourself. True? Do share your experience.

[@melissamiew4056]

"You should wear this beef pattern as a dress." There can only be one Lady Gaga my friend. :D

[@Busy-yh9yk]

This might be, in concept and execution, my favorite channel on youtube

[@magiemay9670]

I'm basically addicted to watching your videos at this point. SO interesting and I'm learning a lot about different cultures. Great stuff, keep it up!

[@kushalrajput5832]

How restaurant tally orders for Normal person: okay, so 1 plate this,1 plate that, right? Mike: so, your order is one farm of beef, one sea of seafood and one entire seasonal crop with the monthly piclke, okay?

[@bfoz]

That looks terrific. Thank you for taking us on your journey, I'm very inspired to continue creating my own travel videos, too. Cheers!

Agreed, anything grilled over a charcoal grill makes it next level satisfying. Can't wait to plan a trip to South Korea! We're about to go on a honey moon trip to Singapore in February and we have the entire trip based off your suggestions. So excited!!!!

[@swooper646h9]

I love watching your video’s! You always keep it real and every time you talk about restaurants in NYC I always check them out and I definitely will be going to those spots! Thanks Bro! 🤙🏼

[@stylishbunny6854]

Omg! All the meat looks so good! I never experienced that kind of eating before but I definitely want to try it. Great video!

[@slow612bro5]

I love the music that goes with the episodes. It's WORTH watching on my TV. More of it Mike. Keep it up bro.

[@joshuasing1530]

watching you when i’m eating or feeling down is a must. love you man keep eating and bring us content

[@Mwoods2272]

If Mikey said it feeds 3 including himself, that's a party of 5 for normal people. So instead of 60 dollars each, it's 40 dollars each.

[@new2melbtango]

Thanks for sharing!!!! Can't wait to go back to try this!!

[@ChanSoriAsmr]

Thank you for eating Korean food. I'm hungry because I know.🔥

[@robrosy]

I don’t understand how mike could eat so much in a day?? When I’m travelling I could literally only have a super light lunch and one main meal that is dinner per day. If I were to have this noodles and sweet and sour pork for breakfast that will be me done for the rest of the day! There’s always so much food I want to try but I just don’t have a stomach big enough for them all!

[@kokocute123]

I love nook finds like these! The best places to eat are usually where only the locals are at! Definitely going to this one when we go to Korea this March. Thank you for the heads up, Mikey!

[@adoringjess]

when i studied abroad in korea this past summer my host mom made me this DELICIOUS jjajangmyeon and jjajangbap then when i went out to a restaurant with my friends from school i ordered jjajangmyeon and i was so disappointed. it wasn’t very good at all. i don’t know if my host mom made it differently but i should’ve asked her for her recipe. anyways next time im in korea which hopefully will be later this year im going on the hunt for the BEST jjajangmyeon and im adding this place to my list :)

[@aimeehodgin6359]

A form of appreciation is to mimic the best. I have eaten at many Korean BBQ places in Seoul...I am living in the States & I still drool over my friends posts that they went to a Korean BBQ! For Christmas I want that amazing colander at 2:23! Stars in my eyes! HA! Ok..I am drooling at 10:32 pm..oh well...it's dinner time somewhere! HA!
