Italian food, especially pasta, has been on the rise in South Korean since the 2010 hit drama "Pasta," starring Les Sun Gyun and Gong Hyo Jin. One of SK's premier Italian food masters, Sam Kim, was not only the technical advisor to that show, but in many of the close-up shots, those are his hands making the food. HIs restaurant, Buonasera, is considered one of the best in the country, and every chef in the country wants to top him. Professional pride, you see. All that has meant you've got tons of cooks going hardcore into honing their craft for years, and that makes for a dining paradise.

Korean food is by FAR my favorite. I live near a military base in texas, so I'm lucky to get authentic korean cuisine. There is a little mom and pop place and they are so nice we eat there alot and they always make sure we are full .and they do really good they are always busy . I would love for someone to review the place. The Korean bacon is succulent!!

Another great South Korea video, Mikey can really eat like a Korean person eating that kimchi soup first thing in the morning lol. Man, I really want to go to South Korea watching all of his videos, but I know I gotta settle down for going to Ktown in Los Angeles... Thank you for another awesome video! :D

It's a big thing is South Korea (a lot of pan-Asian nations really but Korea is extreme about it) to have no food waste. Restaurants will literally refuse to make an order they think is too large for the party no matter how much the customer protests or how much they stand to make. There are exceptions of course but most sit-down restaurants like that won't just suggest you can't eat that much but outright deny access to it.

I miss the Korean food in Korea and the best pasta and Italian food I ever had was in Seoul. It’s a food heaven with fairy affordable prices.

Oh man, that lobster pasta and rib looks so good!!!

Mikey I love the way when you take a bite of something that is as you say is delicious and your eyes get really big and bright, I love it that you keep it real.

Mickey u have encouraged me to go out and try all these delicious dishes. I usually just go out for sushi but now I'll try more items on a Korean menu. Thanks my friend and always u have my ❤️ be safe and continue u share with us. Cooks

I've never been to Korea Mike! your videos always make me want to go and now I'm craving Korean food hahaha. Amazing video as per usual :)

That brown rice looks a lot like pearl barley to me

I'm still confused on why some videos get posted here and some get posted on Strictly Dumpling, when they both have the same kind of vibe and style

That pizza looked especially good! If ever I go to Korea, man....so many options and so many little places to go eat at! Pardon me if I've asked before, but does Miss Christine speak Korean?

Putting aside the fact that the pizza place doesn’t know how much food you can throw down, I appreciate that places in Asia tell you maybe that’s just too much to order. They all aren’t about selling everything they. If places did that here in the states, people would go ballistic and report them to the police because that’s a reasonable thing to do. Love the vids!

Buffets are always the best part of the meals ....because you can eat all types of food to the fullest ..And all one more important thing.... love to see the way Mikey makes his own sauces 👍👍👍👍

Koreans are always telling me that I'm ordering too much food. One time I was meeting my friend but I was early so he didn't come yet. But I got a table for 2. I ordered a large pizza, Caesar salad, buffalo wings, and a coke. The waiter was shocked saying "that's way too much food for 2 people!" And I had to explain "uh that's just for me. My friend will order his food when he gets here" and sure enough he arrives a few minutes later and ordered a large pizza and salad and beer for himself. Of course we finished everything...

Hey Mikey!! Great video!! Gotta watch those pronunciations dude, how you said Pollack is generally regarded as a slur used against those with Polish decent. It's with a soft 'O' not a hard one, so it's more like Pah-lahck, not Pole-lahck. I even double-checked with Google to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Just letting you know! Would hate for you to get any kind of backlash, we all know how the internet is these days.
