these $5 buffets are actually for taxi, bus, and truck drivers. Obviously, not only for them but the idea behind these buffet is for busy drivers to rest up and grab quick and cheap home style meal. For obvious reason, also very popular among university students with limited budget. These kind of buffet/restaurants are called "기사식당" and literal translation is "Driver Restaurant".
I was stationed in South Korea back in 1982 while in the Army and I and I have To admit that that was the best food I have ever tasted I have ever all around the world and experienced many different cruisines However the South Korean cuisine is the best I have ever tasted thank you for the video and bring him back memories
This was posted at an absolute perfect time! I needed a good video to watch while I ate some food and these videos never fail to be absolutely fantastic!
I literally coulda said this exact comment 🤣 just made a breakfast burrito with hot sauce I’ve been a fan of you dumpling if you see this for couple years :) 🎉 always good content and travel blogs
Next time you go to S.K., I'd love to see you do a tasting tour of Daegu. The city itself is gorgeous, nestled in this huge bowl valley, and it has a giant research farm in the northern part of the city, so with the right timing you can get farm-to-table at its absolute freshest. And from what I've seen on TH-cam, the monorail ride on the east side is nice, too.
It was sad to see so many foreigners eating commercialized food on the streets of Myeongdong!! This is a very good video. Apart from this, I recommend Galbitang and Seolleongtang. They do not contain any spicy spices.
As much as I like kpop , I love you soo much cause you show actual good food and not those overhyped influencer meals and idol influenced meals and places
Mikey. It was nice to see you do a video from the past you. I used to love your videos. My kids even got you to wish me a happy birthday. I haven’t been watching your videos as much since you have gotten into the high life stuff. I could relate to you when you ate food like us commoners. I hope this is something that you will gravitate to. I really enjoyed your videos on Thailand eating common street food. Thanks for the memories.
Your taste buds must be in the same shape as mine, if it tastes good it's good and if it looks different then taste it and experience something new. I also love trying new combinations of food, nothing wrong whether it's traditional food or a fusion of flavors. Every time I watch your vids I get hungry, even if I'm not hungry 😀
Oh Mikey you fill my heart with joy because you always bring life and laughter. Please give my very best wishes and love for Mrs C I do miss her beautiful face, however I do understand. Please if you have a chance, go back to Italy or France and show the fantastic array of foods available............Love love love you and all you do xxx
The Place where you got the soup or noodles and veggies, plus the BBQ Meat is my favorite so far. The food deals are great and so much healthier than Mickey Dee's!! 😊
You always have lots of good eats to share from all your travels. I love them all.....and you make your viewers very hungry.....food is everything good. Thanks for all the good eats.....
I think the most popular home-cooked dish that represents Korea is Seoul-style bulgogi. It's thinly sliced beef marinated in sweet soy sauce and cooked with a little broth.
yeah you can tell mikey has lived in the midwest..missoura..i live right across the river from st.louis in the metro east ..where we call it missouri :)
I am a korean. Koreans generally do not eat spicy beef dishes, except for yukgaejang (spicy beef soup). Also, Koreans do not often eat beef with kimchi. And the peppers used in beef bulgogi are non-spicy peppers like sweet bell pepper.
Spam makes me nervous because I've been in a low-salt diet for twenty years due to heart conditions. Regular spam is way too salty, but they do make several products that are reduced salt and perfect for low-salt consumption.
when it comes to communication how do you work it out, I one day also wish to explore the streets of Korea and Tokyo but always believe that not knowing the language could be a mass setback, to having the full experience of the place. So if you have any tips or ways that could be helpful in my quest pls say so, If it is not to much trouble for you
Apparently both my motherr and aunt (second cousin's mom) are turning 50 so now I gotta save up a bunch of money because they wanna get a lot of family and go to South Korea? SO now I gotta pick up my 60 hour work weeks while doing college again lol, but now I know how to save the moneys
I'm a little new to your channel(thanks to Best Ever Food Review Show via Texas Fair?), so I'm not sure if this is already part of your format... But since you love going to - and I love watching - buffets, could you please include the rules, if any? Sometimes I've heard you say there's a 45 minute limit or such. When there is a flat rate for "all you can eat" (even if you have to buy a drink) when will they actually cut you off? I'm just curious about them, because I live these places through you vicariously and can later imagine myself at the same buffet and enjoying similar foods. Just a small suggestion, even tho I know it means more work for you. Thank you so so so much!
It doesn't actually measure time. It means, “Eat as much as you want, but don’t eat all day long.” Even if it takes 50 minutes or an hour, it won't hold you back. I'm a Korean
Army Stew = Fridge Stew = Kitchen Sink Soup😂 depending on what part of the US you are from and if you had a garden or not😅😂 or in my case was homeless or not😅 we did something similar in some of our shelters in Seattle if we had more than a microwave and coffee pot😂
Thank you for showcasing places locals actually eat at instead of the bougie stuff influencers are constantly showing
Fooooook da influencers lol 🤣🤣🤣 i dont watch any of them i watch real food vloggers who travel around the world and trying all kinds of foodz 🤭🤭
From the Missouri here . I live vicariously through you. Please keep it up.
And he said Mizurah! like in the Mid West. ;-)
20 years in centerville iowa... spent lot of time in kirksville... few good restaurants there Nurachi was my fav

Is it preferred that non-drivers eat elsewhere?
not necessarily drivers anymore. There are many restaurants like that.

I am saving this for when I travel to Seoul one day, your videos are the best. I watch them every morning 😂
off to Korea next week for the first time. was nervous about solo travel but I cant wait after watching this.
Safe travels! Have Fun 🤩
How was it?
@@lapisstories it was awesome. Tough as a solo traveller but I made a lot of friends
Thank you Mike for the years of joy in your content. You provide us with a happy space.
Dang that waffle looks fire!
I LOVE soon-dae bok-gum ...The spicy stir fried blood sausage..
I enjoyed your video. Can't wait to travel to Korea to check out the street food market. Thanks, Mike.

@@strictlydumplingas a Mexican most breakfast has a little bit of spice. Or a classic eggs wit hot sauce!
Hot sauce on breaky is an absolute for me!
Granted, I put sauce on everything! I even have perfect dessert sauces.
Love these videos about the local food eateries. I like your personal stories.
When you see the locals do something, you know it's a pro move! Thanks Mikey, always enjoy the content, makes me hungry or watch while eating.
You're making me miss Korea and all the great eats, especially Hansot Dosirak! I lived there 2007-2013. I could go for some chicken mayo, now.

How are people so thin in South Korea with all of this food!? Looks so delicious.

They walk everywhere mostly and usually have 1-2 meals a day only.

So much yummy food!😍 When I visit Korea, I like to eat simple street foods the best. Casual dining seems more fun!
Love your Korea series. These types of videos are a fave.
saaaaame
More of these location based videos please! I use your videos when I travel and this would make things so much easier
Best Korean food called "BaekBan" many side dishes with 1 main dish originated from King's dish & Nobles dish
Love this video of cheap eats exploring the vibrant streets in Korea
As much as I like kpop , I love you soo much cause you show actual good food and not those overhyped influencer meals and idol influenced meals and places
What a sneaky Mike. At 34:10, he pulls off the pizza and leave the greens on the pizza pan! Lol!

Totally agree.
.... bruh
Sorry you can’t afford to go out to eat at a nice restaurant. I didn’t think that was the high life 😂
What? He can show BOTH. Stop being jealous
@@Koicee8I can afford to go to some better places occasionally. That’s not the issue. What got him here has been put in the past from my perspective.
Should check out Saemaeul Korean bbq in Korea!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can definitely eat mike! Can't wait to live in korea!
I love when you go to Korean Mikey it’s my fav ❤❤❤
Every last bit of that looked amazing, and should I ever go to Seoul? I'll be hunting down as many of these places to eat at as possible!

Dipping kimbap in the ramen soup 🍜 ❤❤is sooo 👍
I'm actually visiting Seoul and Busan at the end of March. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the SK food.
don't take the last train! (Busan is pretty cool)
this video is making my mouth water.

Hey Mikey
You should visit Montreal 🇨🇦 for the infamous poutine 😊
Mikey has been to Canada several times it’s in his videos if you look for it. Mikey has also ate poutine. He has done a video on it.
@@pinkangel9597Classic poutine ?
@@JohnHausser yeah I’m pretty sure
@@JohnHausser I want to try poutine someday it looks so delicious 🤤

I binge watched you before moving to China. Now I’m binge watching you before moving to Korea. ❤️🔥💯
As a Korean American born in Seoul number 8 is a legit place
we need to start buying a special ticket to chase after Mike for all the goodies. just by watching feels like I gained 20 lbs.
I need to plan my trip to south korea 😊
Food ninja 😂 love it how he tels everything
That crunch on the waffle!
This made me really hungry lol, great video Mike!

You know that waffle was good because after he took a bite he started looking around 😂😂😂 Like why didn’t yall tell me!!?!?
Mikey with what you put in the Chinese noodle soup, I bet you'd love chicken paprikash.
Why isn't Korea as chubby as the U.S. with these portable waffle snacks?? 😆
Army stew definitely my favourite Korean food cheap eats
Awesome job Mikey drop a like .
Love your compilation videos like this!
That looks soooo good!!!!
That's a lot of food to eat in one day!! :)
Mike Chen sounded different when he was eating the Korean army stew 😂
yeah you can tell mikey has lived in the midwest..missoura..i live right across the river from st.louis in the metro east ..where we call it missouri :)
Your intro on this one sounds like this is a pilot pitch for the Travel Channel
You’ve been on ya Videos lately.😋🍽
Good for you
That sweet potato pizza looks like good hangover food and I think the Koreans must fry chicken better than anyone in the world!
한국은 길거리에서 뭘 먹어도 다 맛있어요😊
i would suggest you to explore area around hwayang dong and kondae next time. the places are actually one stop away from seongsu station.

What ever came of your restaurant endeavors? Haven’t seen anything about them for a long time.
Karne is successful in Houston, so either he bought in and sold out, got bought out, or got screwed, and since he never mentions it anymore..
