"Chadolbaegi with the good hair"
What does that mean!
+kmutbutt1996 it was a reference to a Beyoncé song where she says "becky with the good hair"
+Fahad Baig yeah..basically a turrible joke
I laughed so hard when I heard that hahah!!
What kind of Korean grill are they using? It looks different than those one sees at the store.
the whole set is just amazing
Faaaalseeeeeeeeee!!! Everyone knows the best korean barbecue is in North Korea, the best Korea.
you mean barbecued twigs and leaves?
Twigs? you must be rich
According to North Korea Magazine
TTate yes twigs - we have our "re-education" helpers collect them and then drive back in our Lada to the re-purposed nuclear warhead cone BBQ( it didn't work so they gave it to us) which we fuel with propaganda leaflets that have been dropped on us...sometimes when we are feeling generous ( drunk on Glorious Leader Soju ) we let others eat the ashes...life is good...
some times I wish I can drink myself
Awesome! I felt like I was at the table sharing the experience with you. Very well executed video my friend!
OMG....We were there literally the day before you and sat the booth behind you! :D Awesome place indeed. Of course, everything was new to us so this video would've helped us a lot. :)
I like this guy because he used normal people words. Unlike Nick Solares who sounds like he read a dictionary before filming his episodes.
hahaha ...less is more
+atistatic solares has class? Why cuz he has an english accent?
+atistatic class? I'm not denying he has class but he tries to just jam as much 'complex' vocabulary as he can in every sentence to sound sophisticated and eloquent, and it's just simply not necessary, its over the top and grating
Why doesn't he have class?
Maybe you're just illiterate and need to expand your vocabulary.
Cannot wait for this channel to grow, very professional and enjoyable to watch.
Great video, thanks for your energy!
My recommendation is to definitely have a few drinks before digging into the BBQ, even if you're not really a drinker. If you start drinking after you start eating, you're going to get full faster and you can't digest the deliciousness as efficiently. This is essential at the "all-you-can-eat" places.
Regular BBQ restaurants in Korea are not about fanciness and style like in for example in LA, and I actually like that fact. Beef quality in Korea is actually pretty good you only have to know where to go. I'm a German living in Korea and I LOVE Korean BBQ. Beer actually sucks here haha, my Korean friends hate it, not kidding.
And BTW: never ever eat Korean BBQ alone in Korea that's so strange. ;)
beef quality in korea is higher, hanwoo is readily available and exported.
Korean beer is worst
I'm korean and korean beer is definitely trash
Rice beers in general just aren't as good as wheat or barley-based beers, IMO. Give me a good pale lager any day of the week.
Oh my goodness Matt, you make that kbbq look so delicious!! Now I'm craving it! Great video👍👍
Great review ! Saw this video and decided to try ma gal. It was honestly the best tasting kbbq I've ever had!
that last food spicy Volcano rice with egg.. had me drolling
Having eaten at many Korean restaurants in Korea and America, I agree with him. However, the price is so much better in Korea. My theory is that Korean-American places are more aimed at the American taste palate. The best pajeon and soondoboo jiggae I've ever had was in Virginia to be honest.
South Korea didn't have enough much space to fed and raise livestock sufficiently, unlike US, Australia and Canada which they have such 'resources'.
Lived in Seoul for 3 years and I thoroughly enjoyed this Matt!
I liked how much he enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
i need some kbbq right this instant!
he lost credibility as soon as he took a sip of Cass and said, "mmm so good." lol.
Hahaha
dead xD
Korean beers, Cass Hite, etc. They are too much underrated. I have been a beer fan and tried so many beers, living in a few countries. We can't simply say Korean beers are shitty. There are culture things, There isn't really bar-bar culture in Korea, Korean people drink a lot but almost always with 안주 or meats, and 안주 is actually food which can be a meal. With a meal definitely light and refreshing beers like Korean beers are good choice. Do you want drink English ales or Belgian beers which are very heavy with a meal? English or Belgian or other countries have bar-bar culture, when they drink they drink just beers or maybe with some chips/crisps. If you are at the bar and drink Korean beers, it would be too watery, sure. Korean beers are actually fit in the Korean culture very well and it has been really popular and will stay popular.
bar and pub culture, I mean.
I love almost all the beers in the world, by the way :)
I've been watching food videos for the past two hours and I want to cry tears of hunger now
this is one of the BEST videos!!! dang
The thing I love about Korean BBQ is all the different kinds of lettuces and leaves to wrap the meat in. This is a miss here.
"Chadolbaegi with the good hair" 😂
Excellent video, learned some new dishes
Very good job man! Enjoyed it
There's just something about meat over a fire that brings out your inner hunger..
"chadolbaegi with the good hair" LOL, did anyone get that reference?
Loved the video
Wow, this place looks amazing
LOLOL Did he really say you can't get US level of quality beef in Korea? LOLOL
Its like he is ashamed or doesnt reconigzed the value of his own gastronomical culture
I heard from Koreans that the beef in Korea is quite expensive. So maybe you can get the same quality beef in Korea but with a much higher price I imagine. Beef in the US is cheap, if you don't know. In Los Angeles, they have all you can eat kbbq for as low as 10 dollars per person
@@leonardpatrol3805 beef is cheap in Korea, too. I pay 1.4 dollars per 100 grams for chuck. Korea does not use US beef. They import from Australia. A restaurant down the road from me has pork belly, pork neck (목살), marinated beef ribs, and chuck steaks, all you can eat, for 14 dollars. Everyone on here is ignorant and assumes the only beef in Korea is Hanwoo.
Max they do import US beef actually, but Hanwoo beef is better than most US or Australian beef which is mainly Angus
@@Emelius7 I mean if they are importing beef from another country... I'd id have to assume that drives up the price quite a bit...
I can cook my own food at home. I'm Gonna need Someone to cook this for me
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.
Damn you for making me hungry. Excellent video.
Actually - the most popular Korean beer these days is Kloud. OB, Cass, and Hite are seen with derision or considered with nostalgia for the 90s-early 00s. I also think the food gets a similar treatment here: comparing Korean food in Korea when you were last in Korea (was it '96? '06? '12?) vs. Korean food in US in 2016 is a completely unfair comparison, which is a mistake that a lot of Americans make, perhaps including Mr. Kang. Food scene these days evolves at lightening speed. Finally, note that in Korea you can choose bbq places serving prime American beef, Australian/ NZ beef, OR Korean beef, whereas in the US you only have US beef.

Great episode love Korean cuisine
I think you should show your team also tasting out dishes in videos, will be fun to watch :)

한국안가보셨나요? 제목바꿔주시면 안될까요?
I have. It's shitty Korean BBQ compared to the US. Title doesn't need fixing.
where has your channel been all my life?!! Lol I wish I was in L.A. but I'm okay with Omi in Dallas TX. Steak n Kimichi= oh yah!
Great video matey!
meat but especially beef is fucking expensive in asia- but yeah this guys a good host.
Thanks!
Eaten Korean BBQ in Korea, Japan, and the US. The best was probably Japan in my opinion. If you want higher quality meat and ingredients in any country you gotta be willing to shell out the money, simple as that.
I went to this spot on a Thursday night with some buddies. No joke this place is the real deal. It was amazing and got to learn some cool drinking games as well. I recommend you try this place.
Korea does not have the land mass to produce to meet the demand of beef consumption thus import 90% of the its beef consumed from US/Australia and New Zealand which are grass fed unlike most of the beef consumed in US which is Corn grain fed. You are speaking out of your ass dude.
Clickbait title much? The only reason it's better in the US is because of the quality of the beef? Duh. There are plenty of high-quality beef restaurants in Korea and plenty of shitty KBBQ places in the US. It's so obvious you've only been to cheap all-you-can-eat barbecue places in Seoul (Funny thing is that those places often serve US beef or Australian beef instead of Korean beef because Korean beef is considered of higher quality).
dude thank you for your comment man. I think matt has a lot more to eat in terms of KBBQ in Korea
+Dong Kim who's manz?
AMEN. Korean beef 한우 is IRREPLACEABLE and INVALUABLE and just incredible in taste. It is so so different than American beef taste and texture. There is something special about it... Noobs will never know. And sadly, they're usually Korean-Americans. ㅠ
Have had all three and you definitely got it in the right order :>)
Evenstar Australian and US are cattle countries. The only country with better cattle is Japan, and they are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest
Saying LA Kbbq is better than Koreas is like saying LA sushi is better than Tokyos. R u kidding me?
Your statement is like comparing Apple and Oranges. What he's trying to say is that in LA we have more of an American twist compared to the traditional way that's normally served in Korea.
Also on a side note, it doesn't matter where the location is, it's the quality of the produce and craftsmanship that you're looking for.
No hes comparing apples to apples--in this case kbbq to kbbq--and his reason is bc America is "cattle country" ie, the beef here is better, which its not. High end Kbbq restaurants serve Kobe-level meats that will easily run $1-200 per person--he just hasnt been to any bc if he had, he wouldnt title his video the way he did.
Actually, no one in LA says LA sushi is better than in Tokyo. Because it’s not. But the claim that LA KBBQ is better than in Korea is not far off from the truth.
this guy is good at presenting the facts...
I wish they have those nice places in Melbourne!! I went to one yesterday (on my channel too) and I was already very satisfied... but this is... way better...
sorry but Korean hanwoo (their traditional version of wagyu) is way better than American beef. No contest
only if its hanwoo tho, everything else is not as good as US beef.
they DO eat the American Beef in Korea and traditionally they don't like to because they want to enjoy higher levels of tenderness of the Beef and also more cuts:)
Joseph Neutral i know they do, my korean friend explained it. But they eat frozen defrosted shit, Doesnt matter what country it comes from, fresh beef/meat wins hands down.
thats because koreans eat deforsted shit from america lol of course hanwo taste Better since its fresh
HELL NO! As someone currently living in Korea I can safely say that Korean beef is inferior to other beef. It is 5 times the cost and 2 times tougher than imports. Koreans DO NOT age beef like the west making the flavour and texture lacking in what one would consider a "better" beef. Korea is a land of mountains and does not have much space for raising cattle. Koreans also marinade or slow cook many of their beef dishes using natural tenderizers, negating much of the aged flavour that one would get in the west.
Most of the frozen beef from America is more tender and has more flavour than Haun-ooh.
Trust a beef loving foodie in a country where the domestic beef is overpriced crap.
Basically, you dont know what you are talking about.
All the dislikes are coming from South Korea
That looks insaaaane! I need to get to LA. Bring on the banchan!
The video title question was answered in the first 15 seconds of the video. Props
Ok, as a Korean American (born in the US, living in Korea right now for business/work) I call total bullshit. If they put on the title why BEEF/Korean style marinated beef is better than Korean barbeque (yes the quality is great, and less expensive) But Korean Barbeque including all meats (chicken, pork, beef, even seafood) gtfo Korea is way better. Also for a better price. You can go to almost any restaurant and be served such amazing korean bbq. Also probably healthier cause Korea's FDA is very strict. Eater, you guys need to actually come to Korea first, before making false statements. I'm American and lived my whole life in the States yet this is disrespectful to Koreans here that have amazing standards in food.
so you've lived in the states your whole life yet you tell these guys to go to korea to learn?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... asian elitism at its finest
@@CozyKG I'm an American living in Korea, and from what I've heard, Korean BBQ is more expensive in the states and shittier. A buddy spent 50 bucks a head, for Korean BBQ! The most I spent was 30 and that was after drinking myself under.
I'ma just going to go out on a limb and guess that this dude has been to Korea before... He seems to have dedicated alot of his professional experience to the subject... Is it possible he never has, sure, but again, I'm going to guessss that he has
Edit: He has... 🤷🏾♂️
@@SankofaNYC Kbbq in Korea is on another level. I go to Korea every year to visit my family. Kbbq in the U.S. is good too but u can’t compare. This title is just really misleading
@@toktok9999 oh... Ok... Sure... That's not what I was contesting though... But I believe you
doesn't matter, its still way cheaper in korea and much better!
lmao why u mad bruh he just said you cant get better quality meat in korea
+WheyTooManyGainzz he isn't mad? Lol
+WheyTooManyGainzz Korea has 한우. A Korean specific breed of cow. cost like hundreds of dollars for a couple hundred grams. I doubt that la is better. doesn't have the same soul and feel if you get me.
There's a reason it's way cheaper
NO way its cheaper.... Beef is a premium luxury in Korea, and its no where near cheap. Pork might be cheap, maybe just as cheap as in the United States, maybe even a little cheaper cause Koreans consume so much pork, but if you want beef at a Restaurant in Korea, you are spending into the 100s of dollars easily.
It looks so good~
good stuff. it's like a second rated car salesman doing his bit on live tv, but just not tv. still good money, and reusable. love his personality
This host is awesome. Hope there's more to come!
Im all for more Asians on TV/entertainment platforms, but this dude is seriously misinformed or he needs a tastebud transplant.
Korean BBQ is way better in Korea.
+Lou Zer I've never had Korean barbecue in the States, but I lived in Busan for a while and certainly enjoyed what I ate there, which was predominantly pork. Regardless, I just like this guy's character, and his sincerity.
+Lou Zer If you want beef though, you should head to the west coast.
Thanks Eamonn!
Obviously he doesn't know shit about how to eat Korean BBQ. You NEVER EVER start Korean BBQ with Chadolbaegi!! You usually finish with Chadolbaegi since the fat portion of the meat is larger than most of other parts of beef. And you think LA has better bbq than Korea? You gotta be shitting me. Come to Korea and try Hanwoo (the breed of cattle raised in Korea) which I personally think is one of the best kind of beef you can bbq. SMH Eater. Very disappointed with this one.
In L.A. that was what, about $200 worth of BBQ?
LA Korean BBQ is pretty reasonable since there are so many competitors
a lot of Kbbq places are all you can eat. It can go from anywhere between 12 dollars for lunch to like 35-40 dollars for the high quality stuff.
I had Korean BBQ in L.A. yesterday, all you can eat beef and chicken for $12
Yes, some places in LA it is but they also serve NZ Lamb, imported Japanese beef as opposed to $20 all you can eat places!!

Dude was hammered second part of this video.
i love your job dude..
US beef is awesome but ima say Korean "hanwoo" beef is some of THE FINEST bbq beef I've ever had for grilling. its all personal taste but i couldnt disagree this more.. if u want the pure experience, Seoul is where you have to try hanwoo. if u want fusion korean bbq...nothing can touch LA
dude when is LA or California cattle country?
He meant the country as a whole...
When was Cali a country? Lol
He meant country as in countryside.
California is the 4th largest cattle producing state. You just gotta get off the coast and you'll see. Hell take a drive up the 5 and you'll see thousands of cows
Oakland
Can you do us a follow up and fly over to Korea and try KBBQ in our motherland? 🤔😂
With work.I am staying LA area for a month.We cant have enough Korean BBQ..We ate Korean BBQ almost 5 to 6 times a weekI get $55 a day for the meal!.. I cant wait until the next LA business trip .
I'm from busan korea and I live in LA and you do not know what your talking about lol
Fantastic host!
Thanks!!
Love the host's enthusiasm but he does need a lesson or two on Korean BBQ.
You also have Max beer (made by Hite) and Kloud, very famous korean beer in Korea.
love this guy
Why do they always find the korean guys that can't speak korean to host korean videos
Because it's an English Channel, ever think of that?
+Pizza Party Ben I've definitely thought about it. But I mean especially in LA, you can find 10 random Korean guys on the street that are definitely better at Korean than this guy. I'd imagine you can find one that can present in a video as well. Didn't even say cheers correctly...
This isn't a Korean video. This is a video meant for an American audience. The guy you see talking is a Korean American.
bro, he didn't even say cheers the right way
+dingguhlbary so fucking what? Are you racist
I wouldn't say it's better in the U.S., but it is cheaper, so I guess you could say "better value". Korea has to import it's beef from Australia or New Zealand. A lot of that beef is grass fed, which is a bonus. At Burger King, their burger meat is grass fed from New Zealand (BK in Korea is much better than in the states, better quality).
The can that you sit on can be opened and that's where you'd put your winter coat and/or belongings ( just don't forget them there after you've got hammered on someks..)
Most meat here in the U.S. is not grass fed and full of nasty chemicals and hormones. Grass fed is the way to go. I stopped going to those places because the meat is regular beef.
In NZ we don't have to label beef as 'grass-fed', something which I found pretty strange when I went to the states. All our cattle here is grass-fed.
Fishfingers232
Awesome. I wish it was like that here.
Cristobal Hernandez 'Sashimi-grade' salmon also doesn't exist here, any raw whole fish you find in a store here is safe for raw consumption (our salmon stocks are effectively parasite-free, which is pretty rare in the world). And our oysters also perfectly safe raw as well without any treatment whatsoever.
We're pretty lucky with regards to food safety and quality over here. The only dangerous thing I can think of is eating shellfish that live near raw sewage outlets which is easily avoidable.
Fishfingers232
I should just live there then.
watching at 2 in the morning...and damn I'm starving
Wow the volcano fried rice is something i havent seen anywhere in korean bbq restaurants. I guess its unique to korean bbq in america
It might be unique only to that restaurant. Don't see in other kbbq places.
+Two2onefive not unique; you just have to know where to go. Some places do that, others finish with other dishes.
볶음밥 is not unique to the US
LA does not have better korean bbq than korea. Pork or beef I dont care. Please stop informing people with this bullshit. Korean beef (Hanwoo) and korean pork especially from Jeju Island blows anyhting from the states away. LA koreans always do this. I have nothing against LA, but only korean americans from LA have this weird pride about the food they have there. I have had korean food all over the US and u can find good korean food in alot of the major cities outside of LA that are the same.or better. Especially DC, Jersey and the ATL. This host mentions hongdae as a place of comparison when mentioning kbbq from the states and Korea. Please know that area is a univeristy town with food for kids with a college budget. You want good shit u gotta pay and thats anywhere in the world. Korean food is best in its home country period.
youre both idiots. hes talking about price point + quality. obviously if you pay more you get better. so stupid lol
+kc cho No he isnt he is talking about how america is cattle country and how LA korean food is superior to korea. Get the fuck out of here you must be from LA.
he never said any of that fuck boy gtfo of here lil butt hurt bitch ass. people like you make koreans looks bad. ugly, bad attitude with a small brain.
stay salty ugly ass bitch
+kc cho Good one fuckin sissy!
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching the second installment of this Korean barbecue series. I've had some very good barbecue in Korea, and the best stuff is pretty comparable to what you'll find in Los Angeles. I really appreciate some of the new school elements of places like Magal and Kang Ho Dong Baek Jeong because they reflect the street-side restaurants you'll find in Seoul. Those street spots in Korea tend to have pork offerings galore, but in LA it's all about the beef (well, the pork is wonderful too but I think Korean pork keeps up with America's). Anyways, thanks for adding to the conversation and chiming in with your comments. Cheers!
Comparable to what you'd find in LA? That is a riot. Have you had A++ grade Hanwoo at good Korean BBQ restaurants? The marbling in your video is pretty mediocre compared to the beef I've seen in Seoul.
The argument is BETTER BEEF = BETTER BBQ. But that argument assumes that the meat is the only/most important factor. Seoul has way better from my experience...and waaay cheaper.
You have to get out of Seoul into the country to get some great Hanwoo gogi. Also the galmagi sal places here in Korea also have a ring of cheese that will knock your socks off! Great video and hope that you do a follow-up in Korea sometime soon.
this dude never had any hanwoo man.... maybe he doesn't like unmarinated KBBQ... or he just simply never had any good ones, but yea it's crazy what he's saying in this video.
I also find it funny since a lot of country's won't buy beef from the U.S. because of quality concerns due to U.S. animal treatment and meat processing. Better beef my ass
Nice job Matt :)
Thanks!
Yep. I'm ordering a grill insert and finding a large wooden spool so many ppl have been trying to force on my for a table. Oh yeah its all coming together.
When it comes to Korean BBQ, Meat quality in U.S could be better than the one in Korea, however, other side dishes made of authentic korean ingredients are much more outstanding. Every Korean BBQ I experienced outside of Korea had a lack of something that make me fully satisfied in terms of side dishes or the way meat is grilled and cooked.
Korean BBQ is better in Korea...WAAAAY Better. Theres better beef in the US? Sure. But if you base it on that then the best Korea BBQ has to be in TEXAS or OMAHA.
I currently live in Texas, used to live in LA, lived on the East Coast, and have lived/worked in Korea. I can state with confidence that Korean BBQ is better in LA than anywhere else.
pepprdgefarm Based on? If its banchan or rice or side Chigae quality then Korea is WAAAAY better. If its it beef, well then Australia, Japan and S. Korea have WAgyu/Kobe style all over the place. Finding great meat in Korea is no problem.
Why Texas or Omaha? The beef in those locations are distributed nationally.
thenotorious ong Exactly. Well if its all about the beef (more importantly the price of meat) then these places have the best meat at the best price. Since it is "all about the beef" I cant see one geographic or economic connection that L.A. has to good beef?? Is there a budding A++ cattle industry?? The guys argument makes no sense.
Don't be triggered. He was giving his opinion.
Did I hear Yoncé pun. Love this guy
Euno Lee brought me here. Great review!
whenever my relatives go to Cali they always complain on how shitty the quality of the meat is there. the Midwest has the best meat. we have more space and more green for the cows to eat.
While there's certainly great beef in the heartland, the coasts definitely have great beef because we get it a lot of it from the Midwest and heartland. It's all the same country!
you'd think that but it's not the case. idk wtf happens to it while it's being transported there. my uncle who has a small business here in chicago always hand picks the meat that he's going to use and sell. he said that while in california when he and my other uncle (who lives there) went to go buy meat (for a carne asada) he was met with an unholy sight! he said that the meat had a strange brown tint to it (not as in a natural tint but, as in this meat fucked sorta way) and that it smelled in a way that he didn't even know meat could smell. he said that even meat packing plants did not smell like that. when he told my other uncle about the strangeness of the meat my uncle looked at him confused as if he didn't even know what he was talking about. he was so grossed out by the quality of meat in california that he refused to eat meat at all.
I think we can safely say that in either place, if you want to get good quality meat, you can get it! Ask any chef in either city and they'd agree.
lol if you think the cows are eating grass. they're eating corn my friend
Cows are grazers, they are meant to eat grass. Feeding them grain to fatten them allows more E coli to live in the gut. I am lucky enough be related to people who raise cattle in a high valley, and only feed them grass in summer. The meat is lean and very good. Despite the lack of marbling, it is not tough at all, at least the rib-eyes I get. I only eat beef a few times a month.
The most frustrating part about eating bbq in Korea is that Koreans do not like to allow their meat to brown.
Please, that's what makes it so good!
Jake Lai I tried to tell them, but they think it ruins the meat.
I like it browned.. Not sure what you're talking about. Koreans like to almost overcook meat. We rarely like it rare as a culture.
Alex Lee Cool, bro. I lived in Korea for 2.5 years. I had Korean friends. We ate bbq together. They would always get freaked out if I tried to brown the meat. They flipped it like a million times and made sure it was cooked all the way through. That's cool if you like it browned, but in my experience, it's not how Koreans in Korea like to cook their bbq.
+thePowerPlant haha interesting.
My compliments on this video. You have presented Korean BBQ in such a delicious manner. If your not salivating while watching this, then I don't know how to help that person. An d yes, Korean BBQ is better here because of the quality of our meat. Korean BBQ's have made it difficult to substitute bad meat because it's brought to you raw.. As far as Le's comments about paying a lot of money to eat out, well,,, yeah, eating out costs more... You choose to go to a restaurant for many reasons. Celebrations, family, friends etc. It's just nice and yes it's not free.
dang looks great
I'm Korean myself(and tried korean barbecue in both US and Korea) and I would say Korean barbecue in Korea is still better. But I really have to admit that you get so much better quality meat in the US for very reasonable price while any good-quality Korean barbecue place in Korea is expensive af
I love this series, but this is your most poorly researched video in the KTOWN series. I see your point about beef in NA, but you missed a lot of variables. Pork belly, Jeju pork, and hanwoo beef in Korea is far superior to NA. The prices in Korea are also a fraction of those in the US. Korea charges about half or less than the US and no tips. Also with the US having one of the most obese populations in the world (that promotes "all you can eat") it is no surprise that people think of Korean bbq when they think of Korean cuisine. Diners in Korea are attracted to a multitude of options (soups, stews, Korean fried chicken, etc...) aside from simply Korean bbq.
So glad they are over(mostly) the slow mo
chadolbaegi with the good hair ahh that one got me, kudos
Obviously this guy has never lived in Korea. Korean BBQ is NOT better in LA than in Korea. Beef here is good and in general better than average beef in Korea. However there are grades of beef in Korea that rival Wagyu and it is insanely expensive and way beyond what is in the US. A nation that has tens of thousands of restaurants will have much better restaurants than a dinky city that has a few hundred. Beef is just 1/2 of KBBQ... hands down Korea has much better Pork.
Yeah, I would much rather have Jeju Black Pork than any beef in Seoul or LA.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국 음식 제대로 먹어나보고 비교하세요.
Very fun.
That looks so delicious, dayum

He probably tried their shitty bbq.
"Korean" barbecue were first introduced by Korean immigrants who lived in LA. They asked local butchers on cheaply parts that were just often thrown out such as the tails, feet, and ribs, and made dish out of them.That's why the mainland Koreans call it LA Kalbi(ribs). Before you mainland Koreans bring in the horseshit claim that the "LA" stands for LAteral Cut, know that such claim is bullshit: because 1), nobody here in the states abbreviates words like that - it makes more sense to take the initial letters of each words; 2) it still was first made by the Korean immigrants of Los Angeles, California.
The tl;dr is that yes, it is better here in socal because it's where it originated.
Korean Barbecue is as much Korean as Fettuccine Alfredo be Italian, or Orange Chicken be Chinese. It's a great American food.
+ManhwaFan idk man.. The la galbi that i had in korea tasted alot better than the one i have had in the states.. Maybe i just went to a really good spot in korea
No. wrong.
Hey, LA kalbi refers to a certain part of beef and the way the meat is sliced, not the general way of barbecuing meat on a grill and direct fire as a whole. LA kalbi is on the same line as other parts of the meat.
There's is so much misinformation here. Either u r misinformed yourself, mid communicated, or just making stuff up. Term Korean BBQ as it is used here in the west is not BBQ in the traditional sense since smoking is not the main method of cooking. Instead it's grilling over fire. Usually and historically it is done w charcoal, which also has many levels of quality, incidentally and importantly. Regardless, cooking raw or marinated cuts of meat over fire at tableside is Korean BBQ. Obviously sauces, marinades, condiments, etc make the dish Korean. Otherwise what would be the difference from yakiniku? Stating that Korean immigrants to LA specifically introduced kbbq with no qualifiers muddles ur intention. R u saying they created it? LA created one particular cut called LA galbi, sure. How about every other cut? We can have a real conversation about food if u so desire but don't state bizarre nonsense about LA's role in KBBQ history.
I went to two Kalbi spots while in Korea, best I ever had and Im a huuuuge Korean BBQ fan.
