Veteran Korean here (I am actually Korean born in Korea who now lives in the US). The Soju @1:14 that particular brand uses potatoes to ferment and make alcohol not rice. Actually most cheaper Soju brands do not use rice as it is more expensive. But traditionally Soju were made from rice. Other than that... everything was pretty spot on. I was really impressed at putting meat on top of the veggie so they don't overcook! You know your KBBQ.
If you followed my Korean dad's example, just lean over your food and shovel it in quickly without talking, and then tell me all the ways I disappoint him when you're done.
This is fucking perfect. Our dads are probably related. There are days I try to finish eating first and try to leave with an excuse only to be told to sit the fuck down and get lectured on for an hour or two.
as a fellow latino i always bring my coworkers and friends (of all races) out to eat and they LOVE it. Just tell your friends it's like a buffet of steak/meat that is a flat price and you can drink (though that's per bottle). At first people aren't sure about it but once you go with some people they instantly love the experience and tell other people about it. Before you know it you start a tradition me and my coworkers go AT LEAST once a month.. and yes we go to karaoke after sometimes to drink and sing if we aren't too full haha
I'm Korean who grew up in Los Angeles. Some of my best friends are Mexicans. Going to taco trucks and Korean bbq places were our thing since childhood.
Great guide for beginners. Just a couple of things I should point out: 1) Soju isn't a rice-based alcohol. It used to be in the past, but modern soju is usually made from sweet potatoes or tapioca. Rice soju still exists, but the cheap and mass-produced ones you usually find in KBBQ places are definitely not the case. 2) Cheers in Korean may sound like "kombe" but it's actually "konbe."
Oh, I am taking Sake. I know, Korea and Japan not friendly. They have history, but my liqueur store only had 2 brands of Sake and no Soju. Two to zero wins, Sake it is.
Generally, salt meat doesn't wrap. Just eat meat with salt or oil. korean usually use ssamjang or red pepper paste to make ssam. If you put side dishes in a wrap, you don't put chili-bean paste sauce in (or put in a little). Because it's salty. And if vegetables are big enough to eat at a mouthful, cut them and make small wrap. Ssam(wrap) is delicious because all the flavors are in harmony with one bite. That's why we want you to eat it in one bite sized pieces. Don't make it big. hard to cut it. There's no way to wrap it up, but don't pretend it's weird. I am sorry if I am offended because I am not good at English.
You just put it on the hot stone and flip it til it cooks. You then can dip the meat in sauce, put the meat inside a piece of lettuce, and add whatever toppings are available. It’s so delicious.👍🏻
most korean ppl eat with chopped garlic inside lettuce with pork bbq,,,cuz garlic make it hot but, more delicious and hlep the digestion. and greatly help ur health and blood circulation.
When I was in the Philippines last year, marami namang mura dyan. Samgyeopsalamat is like 9 USD/person? Yeah the meat is not something you'll say as high class, but it's a pretty decent place to have your Korean BBQ.
When many foreigners experience Korean Ssam, it is similar to taco, so they take a few bites as if eating a taco. However, the way to eat Ssam is to eat it in one bite, so it is true that Koreans feel very regrettable whenever they see foreigners eating Ssam like a taco.
Wow that restaurants meat looks like amazing quality!!! Seems very pricey tho. Ive been two two different korean bbq restaurants with the grill on the table... theyve never given me sauce!! For sure the sides but not the side sauces! Im going to ask next time I visit.
normally I am already half full after eating all the side dishes... LOL but nice tips! I will try one in Melbourne this weekend and will see how it goes!
Tivamoo, Just an FYI: Koreans don't eat the side dishes alone. They're meant to eat with rice or in the lettuce wraps (all in ONE bite) since most are pretty salty.
actually... kombe is 건배(koun-be), 건(koun) means dry(or empty) and 배(be) means cup, glass, vessel whatever... kounbe means dry your glass or empty your glass... also, many korean use a word 위하여(wi-ha-yo) this means (for ~) in many situation for health , for success , for family ... etc. so, many korean shorten that just say "wi-ha-yo"
My Korean family doesn't eat much mung bean sprouts, we eat soy bean sprouts (kung namul). That fermented bean sauce looked more like samjang, which is a mix of said sauce + gochujang. And that "anchovie sauce" is more commonly known as soy sauce. Typically, nengmyeun is eaten in the winter in Korea. I personally LOVE & CRAVE it in the summer. Now I'm hungry, gah!
Luna Kelly Traditional Korean cuisine does not use fish sauce. We use brined shrimp (NOT paste), called saeu-jeot 새우젓. Fish sauce is more typically used by South East Asians, like the Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Thai & Malaysian/Indonesian. Also, soy sauce is made from fermented anchovies.
Luna Kelly If you look at the ingredients, most soy sauce includes anchovies, which is why most Vegans will not eat an off the shelf soy sauce. BTW, anchovies are also in Worcestershire sauce! When Koreans want an anchovy flavor... we use dried anchovies. Mmm.
Joyce Malone where in the world would you get soy sauce with anchovies? I've used different brands of soy sauce, from the cheapest to the most expensive, and I have never came across soy sauce with anchovies. Also, we're talking about anchovy and soy sauce, not worcestershire sauce.

Is their proper etiquette about keeping the grill pan clean? I just went to a Korean bbq place, and they must've changed the grill pan like 5+ times. I felt really bad for the workers swapping out the grill pans and was wondering if it was normal to swap it out that many times or is there a way to lessen the employees' work.
I'm going out to get Korean BBQ for the first time and was looking for what I should get and stumbled upon this video. That girl is cute and then the fact that she had a Def Leppard shirt on made me fall in love. And then the girl at the end had the original Appetite shirt on. These girls are cool. Hopefully the BBQ to go still hits the mark!
I always go to unlimited Korean bbq places. There's a place that has an all pork set, pork and beef set, etc. It's the best. I always get Bulgogi and Yangyum Buljib

@@cpmvmaker1 honestly, just do it. Spray a bunch of perfume and dash out your door! My coat and shirt still just smell like worn out perfume so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
The most important thing aba ssam is that you should eat it at one bite. Never cut it. The purpose of ssam is to make your own perfect combination of food. If you cut it, it doesnt have any meaning.
I was impressed to first see her wearing a Def Leppard T-shirt, I was like this girl got class. Then she said to wear a ratty T-shirt when you come to these places and my respect for her went all the way down. :(
What she said is not right. If you have 6 people, you should order for 6 people. Dont rip off the restaurant. They get unlimited side dishes. Its like going to buffet for 6 people but paying for 4 people. Its not right
I just want to know what that variety of meat tastes like, I’m picky when it comes to meat, I don’t enjoy the fat, so what could I possibly order and not regret
Okay serious question, that first technique of stuffing the lettuce in your mouth and shoving the stuffing in with the chopsticks... is that actually permitted?
That's right. But it's not always like that. When they're having a meal with comfortable people like friends, some people trying eating that way a bite or two like that just for fun.
the banchan is served Community Style. This means you do not eat directly from each dish. You first put on a little bit in the dish in front of you and eat from that dish.

is it just me, I always search up kbbq videos before eating it, then crave it and love it even more.
Yeah I do it too. Especially during the times when I can't go to KBBQ.
I’m just like you lol
Literally me right now
Going tomorrow and for the last 3 days I’ve been torturing myself with videos like this 😂
all I wanted to know was how to cook it lmao.
@Filip Gasic poop man
Same lmao
Seriously though
Its pretty easy to search "how to cook Korean bbq". You are on a beginner's guide to the whole experience, lmao.
You just put it on the hot stone and flip it til it cooks. You then can dip the meat in sauce, put the meat inside a piece of lettuce, and add whatever toppings are available. It’s so delicious.👍🏻

You should definitely try. The experience is very different from anything else you've had.
Korean BBQ is so good! Had it once and now I'm hooked! Can't wait to eat more!
Love how you did that lettuce wrap in the beginning. We always do Apple soju cocktails and we ALWAYS order too much food!😉
Here in the Philippines, the foods are quite expensive. Of course, the meats are always expensive. But since it's unlimited, it's worth it. :)

@@pbc_03 imma ask for green onions next time 👍
Thanks for posting. I'd love to travel to Korea and try the food . Looks so good
I tried 차돌박이 with mayo and steak sauce instead of soybean sauce.
It was awesome!!
Omg, this is so fun. Wish more of my friends did this. Going for kbbq 1st time tomorrow :) Happy Thanksgiving :D

A Japanese/Korean BBQ place opened 100m from my front door.
It smells SO good when i walk past.
So i am here to learn basics and then Im off for some table cooked meats.
This is a perpect 5min guide. She is better than another Korean youtuber. from Korea.

First time seeing this. Great clip guys! Thanks for making this and sharing!
Never tried Korean cuisines... Looks good!
The one I went to was 2 hours away and the restaurant was so Americanized
2:10 traditional
0:01 modern
I always go to unlimited Korean bbq places.
There's a place that has an all pork set, pork and beef set, etc. It's the best. I always get Bulgogi and Yangyum Buljib
This is helpful. There is a new Kerean BBQ place that opened up and I want to go and this is helpful for my first time trying KBBQ.
The only thing I miss from LA was the awesome korean bbq
yes you are right. I have a video on the 10 Best Korean BBQ in LA if you ever decide to come back to try any of them.
Hey, you're eating Korean BBQ which I love and wearing a Def Leppard shirt and I love the band. So cool!
Soju low on alcohol ? 1 had 3 of those and got fucked up.
Ohhh it was soybean sauce... that taste like sweet amd salty chinese flavor hehrhr
I am literally crying bc i wanna try korean bbq soo bad and i wanna go to a norebag too!!
I love her Def Leppard T-shirts. I had one 35 years ago in Korea.
very authentic... with good thick grill which does'nt burn meat.
I'm going tonight in Tamarac, FL, for my first experience with this type of eating.
I honestly thought the lettuce thing was a joke.
I hope they have french fries.
I wish I had watched this video before I went to 9292 in Duluth, Ga yesterday.
Ratty?! That’s an awesome T-shirt. Nice content and def gonna hit up a Korean BBQ place now!
I screamed when u both started singing the same song at the same time. Lol
Delightful!
Absolutely delightful!
한국에 식당과 비슷하네요.

Okay I got to ask. What’s the seasoning on the lettuce? It’s so delicious :(
You two are so funny and cute, I LoL at your final Soju singing ㅋㅋㅋ
My biggest question is always “do I wait until I’m told the meat is done, or can I take my meat when I think it’s perfect for me?”
I love Korean BBQ and Def Leppard!

Is it traditional to insert lettuce in your open mouth then stuff meat into the lettuce?
Korean BBQ is great!
I love the shirt!!
*geonbae or 건배 is cheers is Korean.
Trash Panqa I thought it was jjan
Laffy Taffy dude tf thats what u see in those korean dramas lol ?? Well yea thet say that when they cheers but it doesnt rly mean..
Laffy Taffy they use both
jjan is more modern slang and onomatopoeia sound effect for the glasses clinking
It's Geon-bae when you do a cheers.
I have that same concert tee... 😍😍
Omg this looking so yummy
Can I go to korean bbq with you guys today
no
PLEASE
@@AndrewJamesBinuya only if you mod steakmann on your twitch channel
Have you guys watched Dominion 2018?
Say, what kind of vegetable do you use for wrapping the meat with? Is that romaine lettuce?
Its called red lettuce. Usually in Asian market
I have a round stove top grill like that! How does it heat up?? Mine you add water to the round trough inside .
I love Korean food❣️ it’s the best, just ate some
Something must be wrong with the K-BBQ place I went to cuz they did not serve lettuce wraps, or is it actually not that common?
Yum! Now I want some bulgogi wraps with beanpaste jow.
Looks so yummy

Why did she break those glasses? Was that an accident?
If you go with two people should you only buy one type of meat? Is the meat all you can eat?
Megan Sager no its not all you can eat. This isnt a buffet. And yes 1 plate is enough for 2 people and they bring alot of it.
You're enjoying the beef wrap.
