BEST All You Can Eat KOREAN BBQ Buffet in Seoul South Korea

That's pretty phenomenal Hey guys, it's Mike Chen here in Seoul, Korea. One of my favorite things to eat anywhere is Korean barbecue Just a mountain of different types of meat Sizzling looking all pretty right in front of you. You can't beat that Now really the only drawback about Korean barbecue is that typically it's not cheap Which is why just like hot pot I typically go for the all-you-can-eat barbecue places And I want to show you guys a couple of place I found in Seoul that if you love the mountain of meat you get at Korean barbecue And you want it at a really reasonable price Then you're gonna want to get to know the couple of places I'm going to in this video and right now I'm in Gangnam Which is typically not the place to think about when you're thinking about value, but it does exist. Let me show you Let me explain the menu here. So there's option A, B, and F This is the chandelier option. I don't know. Option A which is assortment of meats I think this restaurant is mainly just pork which makes sense because they're mascots like a little pig You get a stew and assortment of some. Option B, you get all that And you get some fried chicken and then the chandelier option you get all of B with Unlimited rice or noodles. Entrance. We're gonna go for this one because this is like $12. This is like $13.50 This is like $16. We're on vacation. So let's go all out. And this place is packed Lying out the door. They told us you need to get here at 6 o'clock, even 5.30. It's gonna be line already Luckily, it's only about a 30-minute wait Soy sauce chicken. Come to Papa And of course by all you can eat fried soy sauce chicken. I'm gonna just ignore that little green part right there Let's just focus on the prettier parts of this with a couple types of different sauces They start you off with a couple pieces of pork belly. On the grill You have some garlic, sprouts, kimchi cooking and some fermented bean soup. A couple different types of bowls And they got a little station over there where you can get all unlimited rice and Unlimited veggies for yourself I'm looking forward to my cold noodles because you've gotta have some cold noodles if you're eating Korean barbecue. At this station There's tons of kimchi tons of bean sprouts, scallions, tofu, garlic Fermented bean sauce and also check this out. Pig skin. I don't think I've ever grilled this before This is something you don't see a lot in Korean barbecue places in the States, but people love grilling this stuff here. And this is the rice I'm gonna skip this because I'm mainly here for the meat and the noodles So the next station you get some fresh veggies, some sesame leaves And I don't know if this is something sacrilegious to find at a Korean barbecue place or not But yeah, you have kale right there So you go ahead and grab the other types of meats you want for your barbecue here There's some pork slices, some beef slices And this is the bean powder. You use this to dip your pork skin in and here's your other types of pork You got some pork jowl. You got some pork bellies. You know, so you got to dress for battle Basically, they limit how much meat you grab because they only give you like one wooden plate Where you can only use this to grab your meat. And right now I have a couple pieces of pork belly sitting here So I got to finish that. First of all, I'm gonna try this chicken Now typically, I mean fried chicken is, unless it's really really good I wouldn't recommend it on an all-you-can-eat buffet, but I had to try it That's pretty phenomenal Whoa, that's really good fried chicken. Holy Wow, the skin is really really crispy. It's a little sweet, little spicy already, uber juicy Oh my gosh. Oh, this is good fried chicken. I definitely so far recommend option B Wow, that is really really good. Problem with a wondering dish, it's really easy to go overboard. If you have problems stopping yourself, let's start grilling It's alright, not the greatest Look how juicy this pork belly is Oh yeah I've been dreaming of cold noodles since I was in New York. This is one of my most favorite things in Korea, ice in the broth Your Korean barbecue experience is not complete without some cold noodles. You gotta have it I didn't know a ticket to Hog Heaven could only cost about 15 bucks. There's something so clean about the flavor of the pork here I love it with a little additional sear. It still has so much fat and juice. Eat it with some of the noodles That's as good as a pork belly You will ever have. That is so juicy. Stir-fried kimchi, little sprouts, now it's a party Tell me that's not just playing the most perfect DP lullaby. A little sesame oil. That's all you really need, sesame oil, a little salt I just took a bite out of perfection right there. Few things in the world are as perfect as a brisket and a Korean barbecue Few things. Now, this is gonna be really fun. Pork skin grilled The pork jaw is one of my favorite things in Korean barbecue. Like a sesame leaf, some different cuts of the pork, a little scallion Little stir-fried kimchi, bits of roasted garlic, some fermented bean sauce on top, make a little Korean barbecue taco There's just something so poetic about this There's just so many flavors working together From the wonderful fragrance from the perilla leaves to the fat Steeping everywhere from the pork belly to the crunch of the kimchi and the bean sprouts I mean you could, you could write a poem about that bite. All that together, that bite really just fills you with a sort of food euphoria So the pork skin is not overly fat and too overwhelming when you bite down on it But you're gonna get a nice delicious gelatinous texture. Pork skin is chewy, it's flavorful. For me, I gotta chase it with some veggies Otherwise, it's still gonna be a little too much for me. I just love the whole noodles and meat combo So my favorite things on the planet, noodles and meat And with their powers combined, you get something truly delicious. Nothing I love more than coming to Korea And enjoying a delicious Korean barbecue, especially at this quality and at this price point Honestly, if you're gonna come here, unlimited cold noodles are only an extra $4 So I would do that any day of the week But if you just want the meat, that's all you care about, which is totally understandable. I get you That's only 12 bucks including tax and they don't chip in this country That's one of the best all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue deals you're gonna find anywhere in the world All right, guys, like I said, I have another place in mind. You've got to check this place out It's probably my favorite all-you-can-eat barbecue places here in Korea. Ready? Let's go I'm heading to the second all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue place. This is a new location I usually go to the one in the Hane district, but this one is brand new. It just opened up. It's located on University Street This restaurant is called Tonkin Galbi and my friend Jamie showed me this place Last year when I was in Seoul and I immediately fell in love with it. Their specialty here It's spicy galbi. It's pork galbi and with it You can get you can get cuts of beef for 50% off if you get the all-you-can-eat option, which is only $11,000 so about $11 when they told me the spicy was actually sold out for now They're making some more if you're ready about 30-40 minutes So this will have to do until then which is fine. Hey, whatever member of the galbi family I love them all and I think for my cut of beef. I'm gonna get some sirloin Another reason I really really like this place This is a charcoal grill and really that's so much more of a smoky flavor than a gas grill Also, what you want to do is take some of that onion. Happy Korean barbecue part two The galbi here is absolutely amazing Juicy beyond words really perfect with some onions. This is gonna make you about as happy as you can possibly be as a meat lover Just the juiciest pieces of pork. This place never fails to make me so happy. Take bite of the pork, taste it with the chili Now you got both sides of the heat in your mouth. Oh, I think it's spicy. Order of noodles and this cost $3 Also what I love about Korean barbecue here is that they change the grill literally every five minutes like in the US Sometimes you're sitting there with a with a used grill for like an hour No one cares, but here they take their barbecue really really seriously This thing right now cooked to a perfect medium and look how juicy this baby is. All you need is a little salt little sesame oil and just enjoy It doesn't get better than that. That's a perfect bite of beef. So unbelievably tender Barely had to chew that. Bite of meat, bite of noodles That's how good times are made in Korea for me. Seriously, just right here. This is what I'm having the best time. Spicy Galbi is the main reason why I love this place so much Perfect Amount of heat. The reason I like it so much is that It's not like a normal amount of heat. They really add on the spice in this Galbi. I mean this thing, you're gonna feel it on your tongue and you're gonna love it in your heart. Trust me You're gonna want to come back here The quality, unbelievable for $11. Second serving of noodles. I feel like my trip to Korea is never complete without a couple of really good meals of barbecue and this This place and the place I went to yesterday, my favorite for Korean barbecue And there's big differences too. Like the place yesterday, if you want more for the dollar, that's definitely your spot I mean all you can eat unlimited noodles, unlimited fried chicken, everything for about 15 US dollars. Different cuts of pork, really nice Thin beef brisket. You cannot beat that value. But I feel like if you want more quality meat, better flavor This is your place. I mean if you don't want all the excess, you don't want to get any extra noodles You don't want to get any extra beef. It's only $11, but I highly recommend the beef I mean what I ate was melt-in-your-mouth steak and that's only about $5 extra But really either one of these places is gonna make you happy And of course both locations are listed down below in the description box. Guys, check it out next time you're in Seoul Let me know how you like it. As always, thank you all so much for watching. Until we eat again. I'll see you later
