The most amazing thing about the Koreans and Japanese is their absolute honesty to towards their customers. Whether it is a $7 meal or $100 one, they give more than value to their customers. No shortcuts, no gimmicks. No wonder these countries became Asian tigers. Lots to learn for others.

He tried to get me to eat a fish eyeball and he explained to me why he enjoyed it so much. I didn't try it but just loved watching him get so excited about it). Thank you for your videos.

I actually went to King Sundae when I studied abroad like 3 years ago. It was actually really good. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Korean food despite being there for an entire year but that place changed my mind. That and street food🤣🤣

I love that in Korea you can watch it go from the fisherman's truck, to tank, to plate. That is truly farm to table living.

The noise he made when he saw the cider!!! HAHAHA! I love his little excitement

happy new years and great vids keep it up your amazing

I think I recognize this area (in Jongro, across from Tapgol Park, right?) and if so, I recognize the Sundae place. I noticed it when I was last in Korea a year ago, and there was always a line outside it when I went by, so I figured I'd put it off. That there is still a line a year later is impressive! Next time I'll join the line. *And* check out the 7000 won buffet. Thanks for another fascinating video.
