Great Korean Food

[1BostonKing]

I love Korean food. I think Korean BBQ ( Kalbi), Korean Bibimbap is very popular in Japan.

[acting303]

i went to korea this summer OMG BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. certainly more exciting than here in alabama haha. i also went to china but it was really umdirty no offense the streets and the people told us not to trust certain restaurants so yeah and i thought korea would be the same but NO BEST PLACE EVER. so modern and the people are gorgeous and street food and MORE FOOD. SOOO GOOOD i wantto go back next year!

[StyrofoamGuru]

@DxMaster14 와.. 이 인간 온갖군데를 돌아다니면서 양키양키거리네. 철좀 들어라 -_-

[DevilsDaugther1972]

what was that,cat,dog rat?

[yenee94]

@DevilsDaugther1972 you know what? your perspective on life sucks. :P

[shinsenkira]

Bibimbap is my favorite!

[oh7ohoh]

yum~~~~~i love gamjatang!!!!

[akdaniellee]

ah man! my mouth is watering!

[AsianRuleshaha]

@elephantmaniac um.. im not sure but some girls think white guys are more gentle

and idk why?

[SlickWilly440]

Interesting Vid!

사랑방 as in Love Room?

Have you ever had 보신탕?

[yckwakj]

I respect you because

you criticize korea

yet you remain respectful about it

props

[ryuhyabusa1000]

when i was in grade 5 my friend had a korean mom and he is korean.she tot us a korean sond and now i forget it.(yes i know i said tot)

[Milkisful]

what you ate wasnt actually bibimbap

its called dolsot bibimbap=stone pot bibimbap

just regular bibimbap is served in a large bowl with rice, vegetables, meat and a fried egg on top and you add in the korean hot pepper paste and you mix it all together.

dolsot bibimbap is almost the same thing only its served on a very hot stone pot and a raw egg is used and u mixed it like in the video and the egg gets cooked that way

a lot of people get that confused so this is just to clarify

[freechalian]

there is somewhere in jp.

[hulia27]

do you live in japan or korean right now? Which country do you like better?

[sungkie777]

Korean foods are so nutritious and very scientific ! normally they r spicy and hot, but its wholesome though. But we dont have such hot foods everyday ;) actually im not keen on fk hot food.

[MrChungsacolong]

oh Korea food features Wuhan Refills

[silverakisame]

Ah.... I miss Korean food so much. It makes my mouth water.

[Tricku100]

:T wow, you're probably the first american who said 'Kimchi' correctly. I miss my home Its been 7-8 years since I've been there

[jaeshim1]

Nice atmosphere~ and good food~

[HimeGirl15]

can you speak korean?

[BusanKevin]

I used to be able to speak some, but I left Korea a long time ago. Now I just remember how to read and some phrases.

[STAINILIIEY]

I've heard my friends talking about Korean BBQ's.... what's so special about it? I would like to know so maybe I'll try it sometime.

[AussieChangster]

@STAINILIIEY most of the time u can cook ur own meat the way u want it. they give it to u raw and u cook it on a stove usually in the middle of the table

[pengyou1909]

Hi~i'M KOREAN

[EnfantTerrible7]

the radish kimchi is called kaktugi

[amIn00b]

for your information. japanese never eat kimuchi what made by korean. because.... oh you ate it. never mind...

[amIn00b]

there is a traditional liquor of korea. its called tonsuru. its fermented liquor with POOP. lollollol. are you drink it?

[heoneebee]

gamjatang is my fav..

i'm getting hungry ㅠ.ㅠㅋㅋ

[Agomongo1235]

kimchi can fight off the swine flu so korea is making a LOT of money and korean food is dam healthy

[dilliondemand]

You know what I hate the most from Korea is Korean chopsticks I never get used to hold their chopsticks. So I called it "stupid chopsticks".

[seonidh]

They are hard to use, a pain in the rear actually. I was in a korean restaurant in Tokyo and they were annoying. They were historically made of silver and used if people tried to poison the food they would turn black and warn the eater. theirs a reason for everything i suppose.

[dilliondemand]

Good to know thanks.

[yeomjiwon]

Actually Korean has been famous for its plenty of iron ore and the manufacturing skils for thousands years. Using iron or bronze chop sticks, spoons, and dishes has been very common and usually for thousands years.

I've never seen any other Asian countries using iron chopsticks other than Korea. Read about

Ancient history of Asia.

[seonidh]

@yeomjiwon yeah I can see that especially as koreans would then use a common comodity to hand, silver or iron for chop sticks. Im used to the japanese or chinese chopsticks though and found the Korean ones very heavy to use. I supose korean use of bronze is like european puter wear in tankards, plates. Do koreans have less bamboo than the japanese or chinese as that material would be easier to use. Still using silver chopsticks could be part of the korean identity as no other asians use them.

[yeomjiwon]

Silver wares have been for wealthy people. Iron or copper bronze wares are for ordinary peopl. Bamboos have been used for containers, or big trays not for chopsticks or dishes. I've never seen bamboo spoons or chopsticks except restaurants; spoons are not from bamboo though.

I understand that these metal wares are heavy for first time users. But for Koreans, it is better for them to use metal wares; they're used with them.

[yeomjiwon]

I saw my mom boiling all eating apparatus regularly since they were all metals. Personally I do not feel good using bamboo wares repeatedly

in eating eventhough they have been cleaned.

[heomak]

i visited taipei in 2005 and remember eating with metal chopsticks at several restaurants that i ate out at. there were tiny shops that sold metal chopsticks as well.

[yeomjiwon]

So, you mean Chinese also use metal chopsticks. That's new to me. Thanks. :-)

[heomak]

yea..i even remember someone telling me that it's healthier to eat with metal chopsticks than say with the regular ones..also, it's environmentally friendly(e.g. disposable wooden chopsticks are a environmentally unfriendly cuz of the millions of trees that are cut to make them).

[lazypuddycat]

Chinese people rarely use metal chopsticks. It is usually a korean people thing.

[kdsbsb]

@lazypuddycat my chinese friends are also surprised when i show them my korean metal chops.

[Huba588]

So you call everything you can't get used to "stupid"?

[raiseplus]

sadly its more sanitary than wood chopsticks.

[Atlanteanwillcomebak]

A Korean restaurant in Japan, interesting. ;D

[BusanKevin]

There are actually a lot of them around. A lot of ethnic Koreans live here and many Koreans travel here too. When Koreans travel, they tend to eat only Korean food...not local food.

[mikedude157]

on future food videos can you please tell us the price?

thank you

[pdony]

@BusanKevin tat's not true -_- why would they only eat korean food even in japan. everytime i travel overseas i wanna try its local foods

[KYUNGILNAM]

i like gamjatang too. in korea, it is 3,000=5000 won (3-5 us dollars).

[poshko41]

Radish kimchi is really good. Oi (cucumber) kimchi is far and away my favorite though.

[SeoulmanShea]

That looks sooooo! Goooood!

[drahn1275]

wow. you really made good video. and I can see your love on Korean food. I really enjoyed watching. thanks

[BusanKevin]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It is great food :)

[HunterORL23]

How much would a meal like that of cost you in Korean in won?

[rbh0083]

i dont know exactly but i'm sure that it's not expensive bcz the extra foods are free

[cellulitelove]

I don't like Korean food that much but I go completely gaga over bibimbap and kimchi fried rice.

[BusanKevin]

I don't like all Korean food, but most of it is pretty damn good. Bibimbap rocks! Have you had Korean bbq?? I love that stuff!

[cellulitelove]

I'm kind of odd. I used to be such a picky eater as a kid and I pretty much hated everything, and that includes korean bbq. I grew up to like it but it's too bad since I'm vegan now.

[Ivankarobertson]

Haha, spicy korean food, gotta love it! When I was living in a dorm me and my korean friends used to eat rice, seaweed, with lots of gochujang, so much that the rice would be red. We had lots of fun daring our dormates to try it. It's good for laughs, "Water!"

[BusanKevin]

for sure. That gochujang can be really hot. Especially when you're not expecting it!

[tigerslash12]

Sucks for me to live in Maryland where Korean food is hard to find!

[wordly123]

there is alot of korean resturants you gotta to know where to look. Ellicot city has a korean supermarket place. And it shouldn't be that hard to find korean resturants near D.C.

[kkangandy08]

man i love pajeon.. yumm

[BusanKevin]

It is good stuff indeed :)

[ameliabedelia99]

you're not playing. radish kimchee is not for beginners=)

[BusanKevin]

hey...5 years in Korea....I've eaten my share of radish kimchi! I know exactly what I'm getting into ;)

[sgundam66]

im hungry! kimchi jigae is my fav

[BusanKevin]

rig ton .i miss "seulongtang" ....probably didn't spell that right!

[sgundam66]

yea thats good too but u have ever tried bulgogi

[Hikosaemon]

Haha, niiiiice! Good point about what happens with Korean food here. I've never understood why Koreans in Japan and overseas always seem to "Japanify" their food, trying to do sushi and yakiniku, when homestyle Korean for me is up there with my favorite food anywhere. I've been a total Bulgoggi/Kochijan addict since I was in NZ!

Peace

[TokyoEyesITA82]

Never tried Korean food, but seems all very tasty... ^^

[BusanKevin]

Give it a try sometime. It's good...very different from Japanese food...which is wonderful too :)

[BusanKevin]

Yep! Most non Koreans visiting Korea dig it. It's tasty stuff.

[ChemistInJapan]

Is that a new restaurant? When you turned the camera on yourself at the end, I could see the sign for 東門街, and I don't remember seeing that place before.

The food looked good, anyway.

[BusanKevin]

I don't know for sure. I've been here in Japan(Kobe) for 8 months and it's been there the entire time I have!

[WildRebecca]

I heard Korean BBQ is really good! is it common to see Korean restaurants in Japan? The food looks really great (well I don't know how I would feel about the pig spine soup loljkjk). wasn't Korea the first asian country you visited? nice vid ttyl

[BusanKevin]

There are some Korean restaurants here. The popular ones are called "yakinyku" whcih is basically Korean bbq (galbi).

Yeah, I lived in Seoul and Busan, Korea for a little more than 5 years.

[pulps23113]

Paejon is my absolute favorite...I could eat those for the rest of my life...different variations of them of course...my favorite is kimchi paejon!!...Do the restaurants in Japan charge extra if you ask for more pan chan?

[BusanKevin]

I'm not sure. The food we ate was all part of a set menu. The pajeon came with it. It was good!

[Niiickoh]

Looks so good!!

I just had Chinese for lunch. :p

[BusanKevin]

Yum Yum....I'm getting hungry replying to comments! ;)

[ThreeofThree]

That food looked so pretty and healthy. :)

[BusanKevin]

It is. Almost no oil or fat....great!

[ElevenColors]

Hrm. Y'all might feel at home in the Okubo section of Tokyo. By Koreans, for Koreans. Sangenjaya also has one store from a chain that has two stores in the Okubo area.

Dammit the sizzling is making me hungry.

[BusanKevin]

There's a Korea town in Osaka. I didn't know, but saw it on TV yesterday morning. I'm going there later int he week to check it out.

[ElevenColors]

What y'all need is someone to hold the camera to film you ordering in Korean and scaring the bejesus out of the waitresses. That'd be cool.

[BusanKevin]

That's a great idea. The guy was REALLY freaked out....a white guy in Japan ordering in Korean!

[JoeCubicle]

I'm happy for you, eating food you like is great!

We have a friend who married a Korean girl, they cooked a bunch of Korean food and brought it to our house once. Best night ever.

[BusanKevin]

Wow....that must have been awesome stuff. Was it really hot? A lot of Korean food is pretty spicy!

[runnyrunny999]

Didn't you order jabchae(chapchae)? I LOVE it!! That's the best Korean food with rice. Now I get hungry for it.

[BusanKevin]

jabchae is weseom stuff! I alos love a spicy chicken and noodle dish called dalggalbi...great stuff :)

[myargonauts]

Korean food out here in the inaka means one thing - DIY BBQ. It's good stuff, but it tends to be a bit expensive.

[BusanKevin]

Love bbq, but same here, it's at least 3,000yen per person.

[bestiaccia]

It looks quite healthy!

[BusanKevin]

It definitely is!

[stefmax]

Ah~ I know Korean food too well~

Hamuel Pajun is mashita~

Can't do the pork though.

Delicious video :D

[BusanKevin]

Ah...I see you're a seafood fan! Nice. Kimchijeon is great too :)

[xzaber]

Those korean chopsticks looks like killer weapons when you hold 'em around... 1:05 xD

[a012345]

Korean Hip Hop lol. Did the restaurant goers thought it was weird that you had a camera as well?

[BusanKevin]

Everyone around me was so busy drinking soju and makali (2 types of Korean alcohol) that no one seemed to notice!

[Neppybutt]

The one Korean restaurant I frequent in Portland uses cabbage for their kim chee. That variation of using radishes is worth looking around for. Makes my mouth water, and smack my lips. Yummy

[BusanKevin]

There are more than 300 kinds of kimchi. The most common is with cabbage. I always liked this one more...just my taste though :)

[Amkii]

Looks delicious.

[BusanKevin]

It was great. Loved it.

[14chris92]

The Korean food looked good. Music a bit distracting. You should do some more food vids. Were those masks in the window outside the restaurant?

[BusanKevin]

Yeah, those were traditional Korean masks.

The music was indeed too loud. I didn't realize how loud until I watched the videos!

[MitsukoKitano]

that soup looks SO good!

[BusanKevin]

It was awesome!!! tasty:)

[kittenstomper]

Where is the fiance? All my Korean friends recommend restaurants here in NY...all yummy

[BusanKevin]

She's actually now my wife :) You can see her hands mixing the bibimbap! She prefers and off camera role. She's content with me being the diva! hehe

[Daichen]

I've been longing for a real Korean food..... for the past 10 years!

[BusanKevin]

There must be a few good places in Nagoya?

[smiley62]

I know you felt right at home there =P

[BusanKevin]

a little nostalgic...for sure

[pachinko32]

IT'S GAMJA TIME

[BusanKevin]

Oh yeah!

[Flint133]

Damn, that looked good. Love the gamjatang!

[BusanKevin]

it was great stuff. Not too spicy at first...but it had a creeper effect....got hotter and hotter! :)
