Sorry I beg to differ. I'm half Korean and have been there a few times. Korean meat in Korea is for Korean taste not American. We like it with flavor as well as texture. And Seoul isn't the only place to judge Korean food by. Most of the places in the US usually taste the same and serve the same stuff. But in Korea, you have secret family recipes, homemade sauces, and different qualities of meat, as well as regional recipes! I still haven't tasted everything in Korea! We like that chewy crunchy tough fatty meat that has flavor, not just lean stew meat of steak. Even charcoal is a big factor that's considered in Korea but not here. And many times food thatis cheaper tastes better! Here it's just expensive. Obviously he hasn't eaten at a hole in the wall humble place where the food is a all family made even the garlic is garden grown and the doenjang and soysauce is home made. If you have ever had this type of Korean food you'll know what I'm talking about.

Yeah the overall quality of beef is better in LA, but honestly the price is what makes Korean bbq in Korea better. The taste doesn't really differentiate too much. You don't really go eat Korean bbq by yourself and if you're a student in Korea you find yourself eating bbq once or two times a week with your friends for almost three times the less price of what you would normally pay for in America. Not only beef, but the most famous Korean alcohol, soju, is way more expensive in the US, literally more than three times the price in Korea. Korean bbq is not so much about the taste, but rather about the atmosphere and environment. People epically students in Korea are able to go to Korean bbq a lot and have a good time without breaking there wallet so much as compared to in the US. That's why I believe Korea is better, it's about the constant experience not the taste and having to worry about your money

Some real idiotic comments. some of us who are Korean by ancestry but live in the US share a common story. our parents who chose to immigrate to America did so for a reason. they believed in what it stood for. Part of that decisioninvolved making sure we integrated, and if that meant we had sacrifice being Korean for being American, that was for our benefit NOT detriment. Seriously, trying to make an argument about what makes someone korean is just idiotic. I have a friend that is 100% Korean, but adopted by Swedes and grew up in Stockholm. talk to him on the phone and look at his name and you think he is 100% swedish. when u meet him its clear he is korean and he has never eaten kimchi in his life. Creating labels and buckets for absolutely no reason.

About the only thing Commiefornia has going for it is. well. nothing. highest taxes and most regulations in the country causing a mass exodus of people and businesses, tent cities in nearly every major metropolitan area where the homeless urinate and defecate in the streets and other public areas, mass influx of illegal immigrants, drug traffickers and human trafficking, dumb laws like banning plastic drinking straws. ect. Oh, but they got Hollywood. A bunch of pretentious rich jagamos with nothing better to do than make crappy movies chock full of feminazi/sjw rhetoric, mediocre acting and anti white male propaganda. So I cannot believe that Commiefornia has better Korean BBQ than South Korea.

I'm neither Korean nor American, so I really don't have a horse in this race. But just based on the content of the video, I don't think the title makes any sense at all. How can you claim one side is better than the other but not make a comparison? Sure this proved that Korean Barbecue in the US can be good; but without comparing his American meal to a Korean Barbecue experience in Korea, how can anyone know for sure if one is better than the other? Nothing more than a really long ad for a restaurant.

Hi! Your video has made me really want to try Korean BBQ. I live in NJ, but any time i mention Korean BBQ to someone, they think of one thing: bulgogi And, this is just a stir fry as the places they describe. I really want to find a place in NJ that will serve something like what I see in your video. Do you have any suggestions or do you know any places in New Jersey that would offer the same or similar experience? I would deeply appreciate any help or guidance you could provide.

We hear that 'Korean food is better in LA' a lot. It's quite commonly spoken of even in Korea. However, having lived a considerable time in both countries and having had the best of both worlds in terms of Korean food, Korean food is definitely better in Korea. BTW the galmaegee is PORK and supposed to be constantly 'rolled' while cooking it over the grill to hold in the flavor and moisture as well as give it a better texture. Never let it sit on the grill like in the video.

To everyone who is saying Korean BBQ in Korea is better because of Hanwoo beef: MANY KOREANS CAN'T AFFORD ANY BEEF, LET ALONE HANWOO. So what's the point in bragging about Hanwoo beef when it's practically unavailable in Korea? And didn't this guy say at the beginning that American Korean BBQ is preferable because of the availability of the beef here? He's talking quantity not quality. Stop getting triggered.

sorry nah, I miss the mom and pop KBBQ shop I lived near by in uijongbu. It isn't in the downtown areas or city areas. Place felt chill and nice. Best KBBQ I ever had. Galbi marinated from scratch, Pork belly from a butcher, homemade Samjang. And you can even bring in your own marinated meats. They loved it when we brought different flavors so the owners can try.

Americans thinking they're better than any other country to ever exist. What a surprise. There's plenty of good barbecue restaurants in Korea. Sure, if you go to all the 10. 000 all-you-can-eat places it won't be the best. But if you're willing to pay a decent price, you can get great meat. I like Cass another reason not to believe this guy.
