Whoever did the editing is either very lucky or a genius. Look at 5:09 with audio on to get what I'm saying
Tapping his finger to the beat.
I would a say lucky as they kept showing the same beef trimming clip
Chef is correct, there's no best tasting beef, there are alot of great beef... I can't eat Wagyu and Hanwoo everyday... to a certain point I can't eat dry aged beef everyday... Wagyu/Hanwoo are too fatty to be consumed everyday, and dry aged beef to a lesser extend, sometimes you just want some regular beef.
Indeed, A5 Wagyu is way too rich* to be eaten everyday, this same go with Dry Aged Prime Steaks
*Richness = Fattiness
Indeed. I love how he responded to the question about "which is better". Most people would jump on saying how superior theirs is to others, but he accepts that some people likes certain things, and is just doing his best for the best product.
Yoshinoya has the same beef....LOL.....
@@MechaEmperor7000 Yep, I really appreciated the guy's answer. As long as it's good and it makes you happy, it's all good.
I See You what are you talking about I doubt yoshinoya has wagyu or hanwoo
I remember when this Eater host said best Korean bbq is found in LA. Appears that he’s literally eating those words.
I used to think Hanwoo was too expensive. Then I tried it and I became a believer. It is still by far one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
Whose idea was it to show the same beef trimming clip about 8 times?
fingerbottom stfu white boi
@@yos5177 got em!
@@yos5177 lol stupid ass
And they still under cooked it lullul
Not enough b roll
Great video! I like how open minded the chef is.
Oh, this place is ten minutes from where I live. I live in Dapsimni, a neighborhood right next door. I know that restaurant. Since it is a very expensive and luxurious restaurant, you can only go there on special occasions such as birthdays. However, a typical Korean beef restaurant nearby has very reasonable prices (however, you should be aware that Korean beef itself is expensive). As a Korean, I can say that Hanwoo is one of the must-try foods when you come to Korea. Other foods I would recommend more are Bulgogi, Korean style seasoned chicken, Galbitang, Samgyetang, and Gamjatang. What these foods have in common is that they are not spicy. If you are a vegetarian, I recommend you bibimbap, gimbap, and Bindae-tteok.
I love how adamant he is about how different people have different tastes, everything is up to personal preference
Korea has always been on my bucket list, but, it has definitely moved up a few spots due to this video! Planning our honeymoon around the world around food lol
PFC Conners the best way to travel IMO 👍
On your vacation, spend a little more on food!
It definatley pays off
Go all out on food, it's worth it
돈과 맛은 비례한다
save up that money PFC Conners coming from a PFC Nguyen! you can get korea pretty easy as a duty station if you talk to your branch manager and fill out a packet they are always looking for people to go to Korea. Unless you are Conus and want to stay Conus, Korea and the surrounding Asian countries are great places to visit and learn about their cultures!
You should look into it. I was the same as you, it wasn't even on my radar a few years ago. Went last year on a whim and am already booked for another trip out this year.
singapore and taiwan is better. believe me.
Now I know that hanwoo beef is very beefy
And also "sooo good"
Beef should taste beefy..he says the same crap for every cut
Take a shot everytime he says it's beefy
You idiots--he says beefy in order to contrast it with wagyu and kobe which are more buttery/fatty but have less of that classic beefy flavor peasants like you are used to.
@@grokker99 Wooooooow😊 "peasants" "2...shay". Am I "in"?😎
Love this series. Can't wait to head to Seoul and try everything!
He just keeps saying so good lol
Seems his vocabulary is a little limited and Drama Lama in his videos a bit too much, but showcases some delicious food..........
I love Hanwoo. Before having Hanwoo, I liked the Argentinian beef the most. I would love to do a side by side tasting. From memory, I'm not sure which is better. To brag a little, I made Italian beef sandwich w/ Hanwoo and baguette from Napolian bakery. Yes, I'm from Chicago and the family loved it!
Saw your comment, I'm going back home to Chicago after being gone for 5 years and I'm dying for a Italian beef, salivating thinking about it!
@@mnoxide132 where is your favorite Italian beef spot in Chicago?
I've had raw Hanwoo and rare Hanwoo in Korea, in Seoul and Gwangju, Top 5 most memorable beef experiences for sure. A+ Beef, price was not OD like Kobe and American versions of "Kobe"
This video is definitely a gem! After scouring the world for the most exquisite beefs, from the good ol US to Canada to Argentina to Australia to Japan. I've done grass fed, grain fed, grass fed grain finished, wet-aged, dry-aged, whisky-aged, kouji-aged, fish sauce-aged, prime of the prime. I've tried at least 5 different brands of A5 wagyu in Japan and 2 brands of BMS 8+ pure blood wagyu in Australia. A highlight is that once had a BMS 12 Kobe Beef, holy that was something else. EACH great beef from each region truly has its own wonderful merits. BUT you know what is REALLY in my memories after all these years. KOREAN HANWOO beef, exactly as Kang describes, the beefiness + the gelatinous intramuscular fat. And the only place to get it is Korea. PS I enjoy USDA Choice and select nowadays. One can only do so much marbling in a lifetime LOL
Hell, if they gave me just the trimmings, I'll be happy.
all i heard is that the meat is really "beefy"
same thoughts
Spot on
Thank you for this video. It's very informative.
I'm lot more into stuff like butter poached lobster, seafood tower, USDA steak and what not but one of my most favorite food is marinated hanwoo ribs. It's nothing like the LA ribs, because the ones I've tried are carved by hand. My grandmother would always buy me so much at my favorite restaurant even tho it's so expensive ripppp
PS: although everyone complains how the guy says the beef is so "beefy", I kind of understand what he means. I heard Kobe is very buttery and melty, but Hanwoo has the more rustic, juicy flavor of beef we know, where the flavor is much more concentrated in the best way possible. If any of you guys have the chance to go to Korea, plzzzz try it
Just came back from a month long trip in Japan and S. Korea. After having wagyu throughout Japan and the highest grade Kobe beef in Kobe and then having Hanwoo in Seoul, I have to say that Hanwoo is my favorite beef so far.
Looks soooo good! 😁
I'm glad he elaborated to express his knowledge on the subject.
I know what I’m eating this weekend!
Nice.
Korean BBQ is my soul food
You're back!.. Dope
I learn that beef is b e e f y in this video. Thank you.
"It's so beefy!" As he chews a mouthful of beef.
Philoctetes, But just call me phil. I read that as soon as that happened.
take a shot every time he says "beefy"
I hve tried them both and wagyu tastes much better
Omg, a beefy beef? How awesome is that?
Does somebody know what is his grill flooring made of? It has copper color but i doubt copper would work well in these temps.
now i know the boys are fed well XD
I'm here because BTS has gone to eat at this restaurant, it looks really delicious.💜 Thanks Sangyung31
they have a fish tank for beef
So instead of a seafood restaurant with aquariums filled with live fish, these restaurants hold the vacuum sealed cuts of beef in the tanks to keep it at a safe temperature but still be visible for people walking by on the street...imagine having a walk-in fridge with a giant glass door on the street to entice you into choosing their restaurant.
Keeps them fresh, visually stimulating besides they are easier to catch...............................
@@guerrillaentrepreneur5999 easier to catch ... Hahahaha XD
"so watery" while drinking evian water
I really loved when the chef went on his little rant there at the beginning. I can imagine it gets annoying being compared to another product like that.
Jesus, is this Matthew's doppelganger who owns that steakhouse??!
This guy in his other videos talks up Korean bbq in America and how it is so superior to stuff in Korea. Now he comes to Korea totally changes his tone. This guy knows Korean food by eating at Korean restuarants across America. How does this qualify you to have your own show about Korean food? Im happy he is spreading Korean cuisine to more people through his show. I just don't think he knows much about Korean food.
Gene Lee if you want the best soon do boo, hae omakase, yookaejang, dukbokee, or any vegetable based korean dish korea has the best and the new trend is stuffing everything with cheese. Let’s be real korea quality beef is still bad, pork is awesome but American meat is better therefore Kbbq in LA and NY is the best
@@Calisoju1 So ur saying hanwoo is worse than American Angus?
Pinecone No. 461 no clue haven’t been to a 1 percenters restaurant in Korea so haven’t had opportunity to try hanwoo beef cooked the right way. I’m just talking generally for 20-40 dollar per person kbbq joints not 350 plus omakase tables
@@Calisoju1 you must be joking. if you think soonduboo, yookgaejang and dukbokee are what represents korean cuisine you know nothing about Korean food. all those are soul food/trend following franchised/street food of Korea. you're basically discussing British food with fish and chips rather than something like beef wellington. The cheese everything you talking about are all under Soul food/Fast food category, so don't even pretend you know Korean beef at the same time. 20-40 dollar person for beef means your either having mid grade imported American or Australian beef. Its fairly easy to find hanwoo specialized bbq places in Korean and Hanwoo would cost you around 60-80 per person no matter where you go unless you're going to 1 percenters like the one in the video. Even top grade imported American beef would cost more than 40-60 per person.
Eats beef says its extremely beefy
SliceOfDeath it really is. It’s hard to describe. If you’ve ever had wagyu or Kobe, it’s almost too fatty. It’s beef and you know it’s beef, but it almost loses that steak taste because it just melts. Hanwoo is a little different. It has the buttery quality, but tastes like the more like the highest grade of steak you’ve ever had.
@@thomyi kobe is wagyu
Billy Kwong hence why I said wagyu or Kobe.
when you eat a cut that looks to be 80% fat, you say beefy to let people know that it doesn't taste fatty
You know what is just... BEEFY!!!!!
nowadays, in order to be a reporter, you don't have to have much knowlege about things you are talking about... you just need to say food is delicious and it's beefy
He is trying new things...
From the same people that brought you "Korean Duck Paella"
Man please gfys
Just got 6 wisdom teeth out . Don't know why I'm watching this because I can't eat anything chewy for a week . Feels bad man 😢🤣
this that restaurant TWICE went to omg
Lmao why’d he start yelling after the first question
Hi, which meat do you recommend to try there? Thanks!
I would take even the scraps
the bed music is rather intrusive in this one
*So GoOd*
I thought he was gonna say the reason it’s more delicious is because it’s Korean
so here is the place where bangtan ate which the owner covered their face 😂
Hanwoo A++
imagine a burger made with the cuts
so where is this place called?
and that's why the beef is delicious, he aged them. if you at straight wagyu or straight hanwoo, it won't taste the same. the dry aging process is the thing that makes it good. you can make crap beef taste good and tender by just aging it.
aging doesn't make a beef tender you stupid.
This guy is the Korean Salt Bae.
im so hungry
obviously youve never tried a5 kobe if you think that this can even compare to japan's beef
Question: At :30, does this do something special to the cuts of meat?
Getting paid for eating at absurdly expensive places. Best job of the world
That’s what marbling looks like holy cow
The host doesn't do justice to the food...
how much? if this much cheaper than wagyu beef then good, since Japan has cheaper beef too which also tastes good!
Hey Matt. After trying this, would you still dare say that Korean BBQ in the States is better than Korean BBQ in Korea?
While we are waiting for reporters to tell us how delicious it is and why it worths the price, those reporters from Eater either only say "wow so delicious so good fantastic" which is nothing, or is way too annoying by saying too much.
They charge $2000 per table for 7.
they dont take walk-ins. Cant even make a reservation if u dont have a connection
Kwak Andrew I’ve just been called poor by a TH-cam comment
@@nomaanali5622 thanks for the tip
Actually less than $300 a person in a high end restaurant isn't bad.
Too rich for me, but these things are relative. And parties of 7 is a really odd number.
2000 for table of 7 is about 280 something per person. That's pretty much what you'll pay if not higher at any high end restaurants in the US, EU, HK, or Japan, etc
First video ever I feel like the guy doesn't like the food as much as he say he does.
oo we have the same surname
What restaurant is this ?
I googled these cows and they’re really cute :)
Chef says "eat it with rice". Doesn't eat it with rice.
Cost of that dinner: 1.5 houses
Folks I have a hunch..I might be wrong but I think the meat is quite beefy.
You can tell this owner is tired of being asked what’s the difference between Hanson and wagyu
you guys should go to Gwangyang(city not market) in Jeolla, birthplace of barbecue you get the same quality of beef much cheaper.... here you pay more the fanciness of the place
does anyone else also think they look like brothers
Man said it tastes like mackerel, I don't want that beef then.
The dude said it tastes like "maguro", you know, bluefin tuna.
I personally prefer Hanwoo and Australian Wagyu over Japanese Wagyu
If you threw this in the garbage, took it out then left it out to get old
Even though it would be unhealthy probably, it would taste better than my cooking
Still stand by your video saying Korean BBQ is better in America rather than Korea?
disarchitected in general yes. Maybe the super high end restaurant are better in korea but you could get a high end meat in american or in my case australia k bbq for the the price of a middle end kbbq in korea. However this is only base on my experience.
@@paulusgautama3234 beef in korea is high end and a luxury. korea doesn't have enough land or cows to produce enough beef for the prices to be cheap. you can say korean bbq in american might be more accessible but definitely not better.
@@paulusgautama3234 Dude, have you been to Korea? Even low-end KBBQ in Korea destroys high-end KBBQ in the States.
grokker99 never been to kbbq in states but ive been to korean bbq in korea multiple times and comparing it too australian k bbq, honestly the high end kbbq here are better than the high end kbbq in korea meat wise. Korea simply doesnt have that much good stock of meat unless you’re rich to buy the super high end meat. The side dish is a different story tho.
@@paulusgautama3234i dont think youre going to the right restaurants in korea.
Cow 99% fat , 1% meat . Wow meals in your mouth
This restaurant is so high end they're using a 130 CAD lagouile as a steak knife?
That beef really looks like a high grade wagyu.
you know what? wagyu is actually from Korean black cow in Jeju island. and, the best Hanwoo considered in Korea is Chick-So, which has the tiger pattern on it. this cow is super rare. only 3,000 numbers are left on earth. you can eat the Chick-so in S.Korea, but not easy though.
Darn I thought this was in LA
A lot of celebrities eat there like BTS and Blackpink
does the host speak korean?? just have him speak korean to the man and we can read subs
yes.
It would have been good if he speaks more korean right? It wud have been more authentic
@Daniel Klein lmao that sounds fitting....
It is crazy expensive, prices almost the same as some high end wagyu cuts, but tastes like normal beef with some marbling.
Where did you have hanwoo beef? Majang meat market sells the highest grade.
@@oceanrocks at the highest prices, one of them even debated with me about the cut of the meat. Selling a rib eye at rib cap prices.
@@thrivingthegrind6830 But my question is, did you buy it from majang meat market? Because that’s where the highest grade of Hanwoo is found
@@thrivingthegrind6830 can you answer my question please
Guys guys, is it possible to breed hanwoo and wagyu?
I know its in the same family but what if we can elaborate on that idea
They already did. Hanwoo is the ancestor of wagyu, Japanese cows weren’t tasty enough so they cross-bred them with Korean cows.
this guy looks at someone and speaks english when he knows they don't understand
So what exactly make this Korean BBQ? it's just grilling steak over fire.
What about the leafy wraps and dipping sauces? sesame oil?
Korean bbq has a different taste than normal steak/meat.
Hello 🙂
At 6:24 - Michael says "it tastes like marinated Galbi", but the subtitle captions say "marinated Kobe".... Wtf?
*_There's no way you wouldn't love anything you buy from there. It pretty much costs like a first class at Delta per piece._*
How much?
Woah...I've never had beef that's beefy before.
hi
Wagyu is from Korea. Japanese took cows from Korea during their occupation.
