  • In this video, I travelled to Sokcho, Korea, to try two of their buffet restaurants that are extremely popular. However, one costs less than $5, and the other one costs $60! How do they compare against each other and which one do I think is the better place? Watch the video to find out!!!

    I would take a $5 buffet like that over any fancy restaurant any day. It’s clean inside and the food is good, now that’s a steal! Plus, you know the food’s definitely good especially when Grandma approves! The cost should be priceless.

    I absolutely loved the first restaurant. While I was in Korea for a conference, I stayed in Sokcho for 12 days. The Halmeoni is so sweet and food was amazing. The thing I liked is that they change their menu every day. You sometimes get fish stew, Mapo tofu, Jjigae and all sorts of tasty stews. Loved it.

      There are plenty of all you can eat BBQ places for around $20, typically in areas with large student populations, and 150 g. for ₩8,000 are a dime a dozen, at least in Busan, Korea’s best city.

    Jimmy, I'm MORE impressed with the Grandma's buffet serving fresh down-home Korean recipes at $5 than ALL the other expensive buffets I've watched you eat at. •I went to culinary school. Regarding your "well done" meat comment, in a buffet, for safety reasons, red meat HAS to be held at 140*F/60*C MINIMUM. Unfortunately, this continues to cook the meat thus drying it out. 🇺🇸🤝🇰🇷

    I have to ask: do you have all you can eat bufets in smaller towns as well? If yes, then I am even more jelous, than I was before. We only have few such places in Poland and from what I found out, you need to make reservatons for them ad they're pretty expensive. You usually get breakfast bufets at 3-stars (or better) hotels, but they're just that - breakfast items, diners are usually designated dishes served a'la carte. I believe some hotels do bufets for large groups of people (like for a conference) but you can't dine with them when you're not part of the group, even if you pay.
    That is exactly why I like dining in hotels abroad - you can try some regional cuisine and international dishes as well, and they often serve bufets for all meals (last time I ate like that while on vacation in Tunesia, and it was awesome).
    I also remember I loved going to uni caffeteria when I was staying in US (over a decade ago) as they had all you can eat lunch bufet. For like 13USD they had deli, pizza and garlic bread stall, daily special stall (taco Tueseday included), also some pasta, bbq, 2 or 3 soups, salad section, desserts (mostly various pies and cookies), sometimes even sushi rolls, and also few stations with fruits infused water, soda stand and soft serve stand. The food was always good or very good, and menu changed daily so it was always fresh. I really miss that caffeteria, almost as much as the people I met there :)
