BenDeen, Dakgalbi is actually my FAVORITE Korean dish to get here in Texas! We are fortunate enough to still have a restaurant named Seoul Korean Cuisine. Dakgalbi is what opened up my love for Korean food! I actually bought this to eat on Thursday! I was addicted whenever I was pregnant with my son and the years after, even still! I gotta get to working on my bucket list and have Dakgalbi in South Korea one day!
Hey BenDeen, you had food from Kangnam Pocha in Covent Garden, the food there is absolutely amazing! I'm glad you enjoyed and clean the plates eating your favourite Korean meals. My favourite Korean foods from Kangnam Pocha are Jajang Myeon, Kimchi fried rice topped with a fried egg, Kimchi pancake and the seafood pancake, Pork Deopbab and Soy Yang Yeum Chicken and Pork Deopbab, they are all extremely tasty. There are hot plates burners in the middle of the tables to cook and heat up food. Another Korean restaurant you can try is Daebak in Kennington the Beef Bibimbap, Korean Fried Chicen and Fried Chips with Cheese Powder is out of this world. Eating in at Kangnam Pocha and Daebak has a good atmosphere. It's been great having you here in the UK BenDeen loved watching you trying all the British foods, come back again very soon🙂
Well, you got me salivating... I used to travel a lot to Korea for business, through the 90's into the 00's. My Korean hosts would always think I wanted Korean BBQ when taking me to dinner. Wrong! I wanted Dak Kalbi, Dak Dori Tang and KimChi Gighea. They were taken aback because they viewed it as "poor man's food". Ha! I think I became part Korean as I spent so much time there. And you are correct...it's all about the second round of fried rice that's prepared once there's about a third to a quarter of round one remaining in the pan. Crunchy rice pieces being the best of course... Enjoy your videos...keep up the food binges.
Dang, I don't even think a lot of Koreans know about dak dori tang. My mom used to make it for me and I loved it. But now I live in Korea and it's not easy to find. Not to be confused with dak bokkeum tang which is still good but thicker and more flavorful but sometimes the more savory soupy dak dori tang really hits the spot like chicken soup.
Korean food is just starting to become known in the UK Ben. London will have quite a few restaurants but in the city I live in Birmingham, our first Korean restaurant only opened this year
@@icylucids It's all good. Apparently you can't make any mistakes on the internet, otherwise the trolls will try and let you know how smart they are. We all knew what you meant
If you want the best English breakfast in London you have to go to E Pellicci. It gets busy but celebs and youtubers go all the time. So they are used to people filming. It's been run by an eccentric Italian family for over 100 years. I think they deliver too
My experience with the Thai restaurants here in Brighton and Hove is that they don't like to make the food really hot for us because they insist that we can't take it. I have to argue them down to get it as spicy as they would make it for themselves.
@@AM-mv6roSince he said "visit", I understood him to mean if he was rich so that he could go to all the restaurants; but, yeah, London is terribly expensive.
Yoogane dakcalbi has been my favorite for 15 years. Yongsan days. Almost got Korean Michelin recommended food in Soho but never got around to it. Keep on with the interesting food, love this channel!
I’m with you Ben - as an English person I keep trying Korean takeaways (and other Asian cuisines) and none of them are as spicy as I want. I feel like they think they are trying to appeal to an “English” pallet or something? But NO English person who doesn’t like spicy food would ever be ordering a Korean so I really don’t get the logic here!
That looks DELICIOUS!!!! I live in a town (I'm a Brit) so I don't have a Korean restaurant near me. I have to get the ingredients online so I make my own. I make my own Tteokbokki ......... with shed loads of cheese!!!!! 😁👍
The reason it’s more expensive is because it would most likely be a common meal in Korea vs deemed as a special occasional meal elsewhere just like British food is probably cheaper in the uk vs here in America where it’s more expensive
Love your content, Ben!! I've been trying to educate myself more on korean food , culture and music lately, your videos are fascinating. Thank you for all you do, brother!! Keep it up.
Would have been good if he went to New Malden aka Korean town and sampled the food there. I read that New Malden has the largest density of Koreans apart from obviously Korea.
Was in Korea years ago on one night out with friends looking for a grub spot and see a place that say "dakgalbi" in English and I was like, "Chicken ribs? We gotta check this out!" So glad I did, def one of my top 5 Korean dishes!
Korean food here is crazy expensive. Best place in London for Korean food is Kimchimama! Aka Choi in Eastbourne and Korean & Japanese food from O'Shio in Brighton
New Malden and Kingston are where the best Korean restaurants are in London. 25% of the local population there are Koreans (because Samsung used to be headquartered there.)
Ben, I saw you at Heathrow Airport yesterday. I was literally so surprised to see you and when I realized I wanted to say hi, I couldn’t see you anymore 🥹 I’ve been watching your videos for yearsss and I’m glad I saw you. 💕
Hey Ben, absolutely love your food reviews.....I think I've watched like 20 in the last few days lol. What shocks me is the cost of your things in London. Maybe if you could, is maybe try a vacation out of London one time and try some cuisine elsewhere? Looking forward to your next food sensation. Take care 👍🖐
A short train trip (22 minutes) from Waterloo station will take you to New Malden which has the largest Korean population in Europe. Would be interesting to see what you thought of some of the Korean food there.
You'll have to remember that most food that doesn't originate in the UK will have been changed to fit the UK palate, like how the Pizzas in Korea are sweeter than the pizzas in Italy, or the UK. Must say though, from watching this video Im now wishing that I had a Korean Restaurant/Take out place near me.
The best meal of my life was in New Malden outside of London called KTown... The best Korean BBQ ever. They had so many pre-made dishes buffet style, and everything you could imagine. The food was delicious 😋 I'd suggest you to go check it out while you are still there.
You can get insanely good food delivered in London. Any cuisine you can possibly imagine, at any price point - inc. 3 michelin star restaruants. But it's all expensive. Eye-wateringly so.
Price to size ration? A. Shrinkflation. B. London. You should have come over to the UK years ago and also live in other British cities. P.S. ive never tried dakgalbi before but ive seen youtube Plan D make it. Looks good
Something was telling me,Korean ain’t quite the same over here If you want authentic,then the best thing to do always,is to travel to that country- Korea is on my list!! I think you have a sunny ,friendly disposition and you enjoy eating and eating with soju to the side ! Samgyetang ,omurice,street toast,spicy noodles and kimchi are really really good.never tried dagalbi,but you guys rave excitedly when you eat it. Jjangjangmyeon is good too and so is the curry I’d like to try tteobokki again.and the sweet red bean rice cakes are bomb. I know I’ve slaughtered the spelling.I’m ever so sorry. 🔥🔥🔥
You gotta try Bunsik. It's a food place that specialises in Korean street food like Korean corn dogs and Tteok-bokki. There are a few branches in London.
Bro if you are still in the UK you NEED TO get the Festivate Bake from Greggs!!! It's only just come back and I think it's one of the best items, potentially THE best. DONT MISS OUT MAN!!!
Just had dak galbi a couple of weeks ago at a place on 6th and Normandy in Ktown LA. It’s called Donghae Makguksu 2. There’s one on Western and Beverly also. Haven’t had it in a minute. I always love the fried rice how it gets crispy on the bottom. I’m looking for a decent place in OC but haven’t found one yet.
You get baby food portions these days in the UK and Europe because of the shrinkflation. And that's probably also the reason why you got some Chinese flavours. Because Chinese spices are probably cheaper to get than Korean.
I like this guy. Seems a cool dude. I like South Koreans. Really cool people of Asia. Not that I can say that about the rest. Maybe there the best Asians.
Yo ben you should try spicy burgers its a dipped fried burger from manchester but there are a few shops in london that started doing it and it is very delicious
I wish you’d written the names of the foods on the info part so that I could look up how to make them. The transcript and subtitles didn’t help as when I googled what I thought you said, nothing came up.
Your Korean food was probably cooked by Chinese chefs, not too surprised it tastes different. Sadly, I never have high expectations whenever I eat Korean food in England 🫣
If you want better Korean food in/near London go to New Malden. Largest population of Korean immigrants in England, with many Korean bars/restaurants to try. Not close enough to order from, so you would actually have to visit.
Now find your favourite British food in Korea
In North Korea
The Rose and Crown Ale House in Seoul has really good fish and chips and cottage pie!
Probably impossible 😂
There’s a Greg’s in Korea?
@@flingo2007 nah

never fail to disappoint? so he always disappoints?

Go to New Malden - Korea Town. It's close to where I am. My favourite is Yukgaejang 🤤

London is one of those cities id want to visit if I was rich, so much good food in one city
People massively assume London is only for rich people. London offers plenty of things for free and many affordable restaurants.
@@AM-mv6roSince he said "visit", I understood him to mean if he was rich so that he could go to all the restaurants; but, yeah, London is terribly expensive.
where u from
@@sarahbrown5373it’s really not if you avoid tourist hot spots. You have to go on the outskirts or boroughs and you’ll get good deals
There’s plenty of good food in other cities around the uk for a much better price. London is overpriced and overrated.
Hey Ben going thru tough times but you videos "distract" me when my thoughts are too loud
KEEP BEING YOU MAN THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING CONTENT
Interesting to see your fave Korean dish, even if it wasnt quite what you'd get in Korea🙂
Yoogane dakcalbi has been my favorite for 15 years. Yongsan days. Almost got Korean Michelin recommended food in Soho but never got around to it. Keep on with the interesting food, love this channel!
you should go to New Malden it has the largest population of Koreans in Europe, the food there is amazing to say the least
Second this
Live not too far, yep I agree
I was looking for this comment, this is why it's dubbed little koreatown :)
Unfortunately, Korean food is always expensive in the UK. It's one of these things to have as a "treat".
Depends on what places you visit. If you go to New Malden, there’s plenty of fantastic family owned Korean food at very reasonable prices
I’m with you Ben - as an English person I keep trying Korean takeaways (and other Asian cuisines) and none of them are as spicy as I want.

That's awesome! It's great that we have authentic Korean foods, as well as a diverse variety of others.
The food scene in London is one of the best in the world. There's only a few cities where you can get any cuisine you desire.

Nice food review… Thanks for sharing 😋🍽
Looks delicious 😊😊
Visit New Malden. It's London's Koreatown!!!
looks so rich the flavors and cheese. i think i can enjoy that dish(first dish)

I agree, Cheese Dak galbi is my favourite Korean food.
😂😂 Korean testing Korean food abroad, that's such a cool idea - we can take your word on it undoubtedly.
New Malden and Kingston have the highest concentrations of Koreans outside of Korea .
Guessing lots of restaurants .
And again one great video luv watching💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Please keep going, i love these videos 😊
What restaurant is this from? Looking to try a few more Korean spots in London
I mean theres a difference between someone you know loving korean food and being korean so of course he hasnt heard of it (Im korean)

That looks good. I gotta try me some Korean food
Great video and save for next time I'm near a Korean restaurant I'll try for sure 😋👍
Do try superb Vietnamese food please. You will love it!
My favorite Korean food is japche and bulgogi. Sooo good!
That looks great. No korean food near me so il have to make my own and pretend its michelin quality lol.

Hey bro fairly new to your shit but got to say really have enjoyed your British shit man been a ride
Jeyuk is my favourite. Tonight is Saturday night takeaway dak galbi. Each dish is under £10
This looks so yummmmmmy!!!
I had BBQ goose in Seoul, it was Superb. The restaurant was nice too, I think it was near a lake?
Your Korean food was probably cooked by Chinese chefs, not too surprised it tastes different. Sadly, I never have high expectations whenever I eat Korean food in England 🫣
Go to New Malden in South West London. Largest Korean diaspora in Europe, the best Korean restaurants in the UK are here.
Are you enjoying London ?
I'll definitely will try those 2 dishes
that looks good both bendeen and the food :)
Did you go to New Malden?

Ben should try another korean restaurant in london. His face is giving me mix signals lmao. He says it taste good, but his face says something else.
Bibimbap is Soho is really, really good.
Can I watch this later? I've just had your home made enchiladas from two years ago, and I'm stuffed....x
YOU NEED TO TRY CHICKEN AND RICE FROM PEPES, WITH THIER GARLIC MAYO DRIZZLED ON TOP OF THE RICE!!!!!!
London based Korean Chefs, catering for the British market perhaps?
I had a Korean bbq in Los Angeles once , what a treat !
Where is this place?
It was dakgalbi which is the stir fried chicken, does anyone know the name of the rice dish, please? Tia.
You need to go Bari Bari in aldgate, korean food and korean BBQ. 😊
"I don't do that anymore."
Of course you don't Ben. 😉
Maybe, the food you are eating are not made by Korean cook or chef?
Some Korean bbq restaurants are own by Chinese people here.
👍😋🍗🍛
You need to get in touch with the korean Englishman and ask him for some London recommendations
Get yourself to New Malden, London's Korea Town,
