      Hi Marie! I'm visiting Seoul in May and have a good selection of restaurants for my mom and I to go to. With your guides and honest reviews it helps me to narrow down that list. I was wondering if you have or could try Ossu Seiromushi, 30 Baekjegobun-ro 45-gil, Songpa 1(il)-dong
      서울 송파구 백제고분로45길 30. I want to visit that restaurant but I hear many mixed reviews!

    i decided to check out itaewon yesterday for lunch so i watched this video. i ended up going to linus bbq despite the slightly negative review here because i felt like trying some bbq.
    parking was a pain because there was a huge festival going on but i did get parking at the city office.
    i've smoked a lot of brisket and baby back ribs in my day (mostly on my big green egg) and the bbq here wasn't excellent but it wasn't terrible either. it was "good enough" for my craving.
    the brisket could have used some more smokiness and it was a little dry. the pulled pork lacked flavor. the baby back ribs were good but a little too sweet. but again, i wasn't expecting perfection.
    i wanted to go try the matcha green tea tiramisu at mafia dessert but the festival was too crazy and i ended up getting sidetracked over there so missed it but hope to go next time.
    one of my favorite places is actually el pino 323. you passed by it when you were eating the mozzarella cheese hot dog. i like their bowls and tacos there!
    anyway, thanks for the great video on itaewon. thumbs up!

    • @MariesKawaiiWorld

      @rvd90277 4 роки тому

      @@MariesKawaiiWorld Chef D over at el pino has an interesting background too. the tortilla bowls are pretty good. the tacos are good too but they are basically street tacos that i'm used to paying $1 for when i'm on vacation in cancun, mexico (or roughly the same place on the streets in LA) so it feels a little off to pay 12k-15k won for a plate of like 3 of them but oh well, they are good and authentic at least and like you said, you take what you can get.
      i've heard good things about an american style bbq place called aboutjins so i may try that someday.

    Pho in the United States isn't exactly "United States pho". It's South Vietnamese style pho. Reason why it doesn't exist in Asia is because South Vietnam no longer exist in Asia. Vietnam, as a whole, fell to communism in the late 1970s when Saigon fell. Thus, Hanoi style or North Vietnam style pho is what is prevalent there now. And also, U.S. is probably the only place where you're safe saying "Saigon". If you utter it in Vietnam, you will immediately get reprimanded and sternly lectured - commie style - on how it is now Ho Chi Minh City.

    • @sarahserenade19

      I would like to say that Vietnamese people definitely still refer to Saigon as Saigon (on average, it would be foreigners who refer to it HCM City). Also in Southern Vietnam we eat the southern style pho which is different from the Ha Noi style. Ha noi style pho has different herbs and the meat is more of a "broken up" texture. The pho that you eat in California is most likely the southern style as it is the most popular and is the type you will see pop when you google it. In Vietnam, they also eat hoisin sauce. Sincerely, a viet person living in CA.
