It was so satisfying to watch you enjoy some of the food in my country. Thanks for giving insight into what the regular people of Korea might eat on a typical day. I've personally eaten in 4 of the 7 places you visited and I have to say, you are quite the food connoisseur!

Please tell us the name of the Korean buffet so we can go when we go to Seoul next year? He only wrote it in Korean thanks
You make me drooling!!!!!!!! The way you say “Thank you” in Korean is so polite and respectful! You’re just amazing!

Yes, I agree!
Have been watching you for years and this is SO thoroughly well deserved
I thought that buffet looked familiar! A few channels have gone behind the scenes in the kitchen to show how they make everything and it's so cool to see the before and after process of prepping the food then seeing it served and enjoyed.

What’s the name of it? We are going to Seoul next year and I really want Togo and it’s only written in Korean?
I've been watching since you started out. Your remark of why you like SK, I can't imagine you'd visit any country that didn't have amazing food ! After watching you eat tons (literally) of noodles, I bought every Ramen in my small town. I always thought they were versions of spaghetti, but gladly have been educated. Whatever happened to your Texas Restaurant ? Keep on eating, you lucky guy ! I'm 70 & cannot eat super spicey foods anymore. I raised bell peppers this year, sadly missing my spicy pepper plants😢...lol.

he did go to places that are known for being outrageously cheap... most Koreans would spend around $6-12 USD for a typical meal and tourists will probably spend a bit more than that since restaurants tourists go to tend to be overpriced

Remember that it may be inexpensive to you but expensive to the locals. Had a customer from the US buy one Super 120 Wool suit at the shop I work in Brazil, he was like...Wow this is super cheap and of high quality, you people are lucky...for him it was 600 dollars, for us it's 2900 bucks, wich is 2 times our monthly income@@cubabound2049

💚 감사합니다 Mike, I'd like to thank you for an episode you did some time ago with Eric Nam. After looking him up then, I have been a very loyal and passionate fan of his ever since. You never know when and where the next influence will come from that brings such happiness. I'm very grateful for you having been a part of it, as I'm a fan who enjoys you as well. Beautiful & delicious South Korea, wish I lived there with every fiber of my being! 감사합니다 ❤谢谢
Happy Halloween everyone. Stay safe out there tonight.
You had me at unlimited jajangmyeon dude.
I thought the Japanese egg sandwiches made me drool, but those Korean egg toast had me salivating at both ends 😅
Love your content Mike! Happy halloween 🎃🎃🎃🧡🧡🖤🖤🖤
I love Korean food!

Thanks for the recs! I’ll be there next week 😈
Great looking food, made my mouth water!
Even the cheap eats in Seoul look amazing!! The buffet looks like wonderful way to try different koean dishes when traveling solo 🥢🥢🥢
Love this of cheap eats options
Hey Moke. Nothing but the best vida. You are navk in Seoul i see. Keep winning Mike. Everything looks delicious 😋🤤 Enjoy!! ❤️😙🐞 BTW: the prices blows my mind..
Garlic makes noodles and rice really tasty
When you dunked the egg sandwich into the potato soup my soul died a bit because I don't have that right now.
Yes! Back in Korea!
I'm doing the spicy seafood noodle soup one. That's my favorite thing to get at a Korean Chinese place
The cut to another place always looks like you start chasing random person 😂😂 and its hilarious
so glad you are eating again in SK
I wish i could see Krista again. She was a nice neighbor during your stay in Korea 2 years ago ❤❤❤❤
I want to try more Korean food, I have only had one dish so far 😢
Japan & South Korea is on top of my places to visit.. the culture and food seems just up my ally...
Unlimited beer. Forget the food. I go for the beer
Oh no..... it's better help now?!
Much respect to mike for doing a soup kitchen tour. lol
Hi Mike, can I have the address or location for the cheap Korean buffet? As I'm travelling to Seoul soon. Thank you 😊
Mikey: now I have a ton more cheap foodie stops in Seoul! I especially like the buffet!
Happy Halloween everyone.
Please tell us the name of the Korean buffet? It’s written in Korean thanks
Hey Mike, What is the Steak BBQ place called? and where is it located in? Thanks Mike, Great Content
It would be great if you started a company that sold noodles, and sauces of all kinds because they're impossible to find in this country. We ALL want to enjoy these noodles as you do,,,,,,
I feel like in Korea where Mike is most happy. Also japan.
I am loving korean food but in LA it’s not that cheap so I do want to go to Korean to eat everything
Really like the One is Mashi China & their Tang Su Yuk near Hongdae
What's the address to Steak! ? 😅
I would love to go to Korea.
Only in Korea Mikey Chen !!! Cheap Eats & delicious !!! The whole world is just busy ! No more Covid ! Were living again ! Thank you for sharing Mikey Chen !!!

Cause the soup is quite thick and much richer than normal ramen soups. So it’ll be quite salty if you pour the noodles inside the soup

It can be spicy, but the Korean version is usually more savory with a hint of sweetness. Maybe think rich soy sauce with a hint of sweetness?🤷🏻♂️

Food for thought: If an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, the answer is that the unstoppable force is redirected. The unstoppable force has two characteristics, movement and direction. Only movement must remain constant. The immovable object has one, it cannot move. Therefore, the unstoppable force is redirected.

Unbelievably cheap! That one bowl of Jajang Myun would cost between $14 to 17 here in Southern California. And not all you can eat.

Translation is a bit off. It's not "what do you know" but rather "this guy knows".
I know you were trying to say thank you in Korean, but both times you said different things and they weren't even words. It was like you just made up stuff and ended them with 습니다 (sumnida).

Tipping is not the culture in Asia. Sure we can tip if we want to but usually the tax and service charge is already included into the price. Way better cos I won't feel obligated to otherwise server spits in my food. I alr pay for the extra charges which is inclded into whatever i'm paying. It's sad if a restaurant is dependant on tips to survive.@@thelastbison2241
