  • A lot of Korean barbecue restaurants have a thing they do really well, or maybe something you rarely find- but sometimes you want consistency and to know exactly what you're going to get from a restaurant. Baekjeong can give you that. Join host Matthew Kang as he explains why Baekjeong is the best chain.

    Before going to the NYC location, I had been to the Queens location before and I liked the Queens location more. The differences are subtle like the side dishes offered and the ability to order yogurt soju instead of the upcharged cocktails they offer at the NYC location. The 24/7 Korean supermarket across the street in the Queens one is also a plus because we usually go in there and get desserts from the freezer section lol.

    the best video this guy did. not comparing korean food to other cultural food. not saying this is the korean this or that. keeping it korean. talkin about the variation of actual korean food.

    That looks amazing. Serrano peppers are earthy but the seeds can be bitter. I might buy more and pickle them to see how that turns out. Love seeing these because they make me more interested in trying them. I'm mind blown compared to what I'm used to which is Chinese takeout.

      Come visit Torrance in ca when the pandemic is over. Baekjeong has the best Korean food in town. I even recommended that place to my friend at work. I would recommend baekjeong to anyone who doesn’t have a very big appetite lots of food at the all you can eat bbq places.

  • @JadeLee13
    @JadeLee13 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    100% agreed. I had this bbq in Beijing and had the best bbq in China. I also ordered a raw beef dish ( and I would usually never suggest you to eat raw beef in China) but damn, it was delicious and my stomach loved it too ( as in no sick feeling at all just like any good and expensive beef tartare). Strongly suggest it.

    Yikes, consistency? The other day I shelled out $100 for a large combo (brisket, short rib, and another choice). Only the brisket was above average, every piece of short rib was tough and had inedible muscle in the middle and the 3rd choice, which was marinated short rib for us, was at least tender but lacked any of that great short rib beef flavor. The free egg was better than the short rib...

    What does being a chain have to do with consistency? If anything it's less consistent as meats and people cooking them vary place to place. Also this place does not have good quality meat from my experience. You're better off going to a local kbbq joint. Probably a better deal too.
