I’m jealous…. I need to try his restaurants!!! I love chicken!!!!! He’s so handsome…. Just saying!😍😍 I also love “highbrow-lowbrow”… im going to start using this term!!
Well after years of living in Seoul-going back annually and then going to try this place and getting n the bill u think WTF! Minus the caviar chicken-same types of fried chicken could be found on any street for under 25 USA dollars
Literally everything wrong about food in the states. This kind of chicken is casual food found everywhere in Korea. To dress it up and charge that much is so wrong. His Korean bbq place too is nothing special…his concepts are putting common foods in a fancy atmosphere. That’s why his crowd is mostly non Asians.
You can get burgers at McDonalds for $3. You can also get them for over $20, and the quality will be noticeable. Same here. You're paying for atmosphere, service, and quality of ingredients made by people who know how to make it.
And what's wrong with "elevating" or "fancy-fying" casual food? As an example, do you even know the humble origin of sushi? Do you think it was always a fine cuisine that many people think it is? Or any other European food that people fawn over?
Because you don’t have to elevate it with different ingredients and make things fancy just to charge 10x the price 🤦♂️. It’s fried chicken. Would you do that to a hot dog? Hamburger? People try and it’s ridiculous that’s my point. Even his Korean bbq place… it’s mostly non Asian people who go cause they don’t know better. In Korea a down and dirty kbbq spot is way more popular and in my opinion a better experience than some fancy version of it.
@@ContrarianDC_KAF goto Japan…. The fish quality is so good that there is very little difference between a $300 per person omakase and a good normal sushi meal or even revolving sushi. You’re paying for the name sushi chef who apprenticed for 20 yrs at another big name place.
great and all, but after the trendies try this place for the 3rd and 4th times, the niche customers this restaurant caters to will find the next hip thing and the place will no longer thrive. i'd give this place maybe 2 years max.
A chicken nugget with caviar? Decadent? And pricey I’ll bet - it’s just an expensive and glorified KFC restaurant - cathedral of what? Not for the chicken I’m sure 😅
I went back in August..It’s AS ADVERTISED..They didn’t even talk about the three sauces that come with it..the Mac n cheese is fire,has a little kick to it too 🤌🏾 12/10

Congratulations to Simon. I like his confidence and humility!
I love his shirt. It looks like korean style
When you have Thomas Keller as a backer you know its gonna be amazing.
He’s not a backer.
@@jiminswriter4209 it didn't say it in this video, but yes he is 😂
@@jiminswriter4209 in another video it shows him as an owner. but he doesn't seem to do much than come in and mingle with people and do taste tests.
@@doc-vg9lq I think I saw that video. No, it did not say that he was an owner, but an investor. Simon Kim is the owner.
She loves the restaurant
She loves the coq

I visited Seoul and Busan last summer and even the hole in the wall 갈비 and 삼겹살 places were damn good. Best part? It didn't break the bank.
I have to go there!! Great!!
Cote is the real deal & well worth it - COCODAQ though?
Not so much...at least not yet
The goat 🐐
Korean American pride.
Ohmgeee wish I can have that soy garlic chicken !!!!

IKR. I rather enjoy by relaxing at a casual fun atmosphere instead.

Wow your opinion and prediction are so important! Thanks for sharing!

@@doubletrouble5026 cote don't sell no chicken mcnuggets
@@EshockT thanks for agreeing.
@@kenichi407 you can't even get a reservation here let alone 4th or 5th times
Great
Nice
Buncha haters in the comments
That's not even close to Korean foods
It’s “restaurateur” NOT “restauranteur”!!!
Give me a break !
selling chicken for $$$$$$$
BS
And someone's buying this expensive chicken. Let him be. Instead of hating, learn from him
@@Ovprksdnw 😳learn how to exploit restaurant workers..got it !

Overrated
He and this restaurant are so pretentious
Overpriced junk food
Probably why you don't run a successful restaurant. 😂
And someone's buying this "overpriced junk food" as you call it. Instead of hating, learn from him. Have YOU accomplished anything? Methinks not
