As a kitchen person I think it's great when you film the people working hard in the kitchen itself because regardless of where you are the kitchen requires a ton of agility and muscle as well as skill and artistic taste. People need to remember that any time they go to a restaurant
@@RockstarEater Mark I pray that you and your family had a bless Christmas and i pray you all have bless new year the food is good mark close his eye smile
Its a trip, Mark was born when I was 13yrs old. I've travelled to 2 other continents, but MARK HANDLES his CRAFT with the WISDOM of somebody twice his AGE,,,WAY TO GO BRO.
I love this video and I'm looking forward to the second one. I also like the fact that Ying is behind the camera a lot for this. Her videography is spot on.
Korea should thank all the Korean Mukbang RUclipsrs out there for showing the world their amazing gastronomy. Many of us knew a few dishes for sure, but their cuisine has been a hidden gem for most people, compared to other asian countries'. Their food is delicious, and they deserve the attention they've been receiving these recent years.
I'm curious how Korean mukbangers managed to spread their subculture internationally (intentional or not) and I guess it's thanks to video hosting/streaming platforms as well as social media? Besides them though, I think it's also due in part to other aspects of the Korean Wave such as K-dramas and K-pop idol livestreams/variety shows where Korean food is often shown being consumed.
@@nom928 honestly mukbang was just a thing in korea. Koreans have a huge food culture and they love eating "together" which is why mukbang just set in so naturally with koreans. They never thought that it was going to gain so much international attention and they didnt really even try to spread it outside korea. This is actually the same for K drama, k pop, k food, etc. As youtube and other streaming services came along people just started noticing "korea" like a whole new trend that popped up out of nowhere, but they've just been there this entire time. All these "K" whatever is just the lifestyle koreans acted on for ages. Even koreans are surprised and overwhelmed by all the attention lol.
lol no country needs to thank anyone for generations of painstakingly preserving their culture. believe it or not, these places do just fine without recognition from outsiders. but i agree that their food is extremely delicious and they deserve all the attention.
@@sneer0101 you do realize that it doesn't matter right?...... imagine living such a over critical life of everyone else...relax my brother...he was just paying him a compliment....
I'm back to live in Korea but LA has definitely one of the greatest Korean Food outside of Korea. Some restaurants are actually much better than what you would get in Korea, as they still make their foods the old way. It takes time and dedication to make some of the dishes, and while a lot of restaurants in Korea abandoned it, a lot of restaurants in LA still practices those
I love Korean food. When I was in elementary school my best friend was Korean, and after school his grandmother would always make us the best food. Everything from tteokbokki to gimbap 👌
Omg, you was so lucky, I´ve never had an opportunity as that, I hope that some day can eat korean food, I must found a good restaurant in my country. Greetings!
I`m a Korean and I traveled a lot of countries, trust me L.A is only place you can get actual Korean level of food outside of Korea. I drove more than 12 hours to eat Korean food from San Francisco few times a year and L.A never disappointed me.
We love you Mark, my entire family literally waits for your episodes on RUclips ... Always first to watch... Let me know when you planning your next trip to Nairobi.... I will take u around ,😊😊😊😊😊
Korean food gives us lots of energy with the appealing red colored dishes! As well as that i love how Koren food is eaten. Many kinds of appetizers, ultimate kimchee, and drink some soju! My stomach is ready for some spicy Koren food!😆🇰🇷💕
In the video the food looked very tasty, I think to know the traditional taste of this kind of food you need to go to a 100% Korean restaurant or for a more complete experience go to visit Korea.
Jeffey is right about the soybean noodle soup. It is a nice dish when you need a comfortable and easy to digest dish. I like to eat with some kimchi because of its mild flavour. I love how everything from the noodles to the dumplings are made in house.
Yeah but poor Jeffrey was constantly ignored by both Steve & Mark. Steve was more rude towards him when they were toasting & when Jeffrey was making a comment. Also Steve only cared about his status with Mark bc of Mark's clout that he completely ignores Jeffrey throughout the video. Poor Jeffrey. He is the one who helps Mark a lot with the best recommendations throughout LA & other great restaurants in US cities. Mark should be grateful. I hate people like Steve. Observed & experienced so many rude opportunists like him in the K community.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this collab with Rockstar Eater. I appreciate the fact that you enjoy Korean food. One of my favorite series of yours is when you visited Korea. So amazing!!!
Currently 29 weeks pregnant and I’m HEAVILY craving for that cod Korean fish from Soban! 🤤😍 Thank you, Mark for sharing this! Korean cuisine is one of my top favs. I’d love to venture out from just eating kbbq, soondubu, kimbap, and bibimbap. 😊
Since you’re pregnant, you should try their bone broth soups like seollongtang. Rich broth and you can add salt as you go. Very nutritious! Congrats by the way!
Mark is so sweet and respectful , ( Antie) a term of endearment in all cultures , that is so special . The food looked amazing and I'm sure tasted just as amazing from Marks honest reactions ,I could smell the food through my screen just from Marks descriptions , thank you Mark and family for another awesome, fun and inspiring video. God Bless you in the New year and always.
I've never thought about the idea that there are kinds of restaurant in LA, which serves whole bunches of Korean sidedishes and authentic Korean food but I think this is amazing
@@mateobaysa2055 no it definitely is not. LA is not known as a food destination really. All its known for is Mexican food. Hell san Francisco is more of a destination than LA. Way better food in San fran. Plus you don't have to deal with the hell hole that is LA. Literally every other major city is better known for food than la lmao. Chicago nyc etc
@@jamesnevius2276 LA County is only known for Mexican food!? GTFOH… 😄 You forget about the fact that outside Iran, there’s Tehrangeles in Glendale. There’s also a huge population of Cambodians in Long Beach. In Rosemead, you’ll see Viet restaurants pretty much on every corner. Echo Park has tons of Filipino restaurants…. I could keep going and going… but I think you get my point. 😄 BTW- the Tenderloin neighborhood is somewhat comparable to Skid Row. 💡💯
Omg watching all these amazing Korean food dishes makes me want to drive down to K-town to try it right now!! Thanks for the tips Mark! The foods looks amazing 😋
I live in South Korea and have been trying lots of great food! Should be getting around to making food videos soon. I can confirm the side dishes can be overwhelming lol. Korea has such a great cuisine, I’m lucky to live here!
I went to LA last month and enjoyed a few great food places in Koreatown. But the highlight of my trip was the soy marinated crabs from Crabhouse in Koreatown. Idk how long you're going to be in LA, Mark. But you should check that place out. They sell nothing but marinated seafood and also some really good sea urchin dishes.
Steve and Mark, our appreciation for other cultures is greatly enhanced when we eat their food. You did a wonderful job of spotlighting Korean food! It looked absolutely awesome. They most certainly add to my appreciation of life. 👍
Oh god, it’s so difficult to find traditional Korean restos that have this kind of extensive menu these days that still do it well. This place looks effing amazing. Must go.
As an Iranian, I really love Korean foods they are amazing and tasty. Today I tried Korean-fired chicken for the first time, and I can easily say that it was the most delicious fried chicken I have tried so far. I also tried kimbap and noodles (different noodles), and they tasted sooooo good. The Korean egg roll was also one of my favorite food
These Korean Resturants are on another Level and in Korea Town LA Actually felt like i was watching the real Korea .! Food was just stunning in both places .SOBAN Wow what service such a high quality of traditional food . . Thank you everyone absolutely Stunning /!!.
I was stationed in South Korea, about 30 clicks from the DMZ. I enjoyed the food and culture while I was there and it was such a memorably experience that I miss. I loved chicken on a stick and bulgogi. Good Times.
Thank you for your service! Yes, Korea is wonderful. I’m a born and raised Armybrat. Thanks to my dad being in the Army and retired, we was fortunate enough to have priceless experiences in Korea.
When I saw the thumbnail, and the banchan, my first thought was, 'Hey is this Soban?' And yep, it is. I don't know any other restaurants in LA with that spread of banchan combined with the marinated raw crab dish. I've been going there for at least the past 6-7 years. At first to try their marinated crab, since I wanted to try something different than most offerings in Koreatown and it was highly recommended by Jonathan Gould (the food critic referenced in the video). And fell in love. The banchan comes with every meal, and it's a huge spread as seen in the video. The marinated crab might not be for everyone, but it's a nice experience to try at least once. I love it, and had been going there many times just for it. But their beef short ribs are what they're really known for. Easily one of the best in town. After trying the short ribs, I have a hard time ordering anything else, unless I'm splitting a marinated raw crab with friends. Another note about Soban, it's Bong Joon-Ho's (The Oscar winning director of Parasite) favorite restaurant in K-town. During award season when he was campaigning for Oscars, it was said he would come to this restaurant frequently afterwards. In fact, when Parasite won Best Picture, after he went through the obligatory Oscar parties, he took the cast and crew that were with him over to Soban to celebrate until 5am in the morning. Source: la.eater.com/2020/2/10/21132436/parasite-oscars-after-party-soban-restaurant-los-angeles-koreatown The last time I went to Soban, they still have a framed picture of the cast and crew of Parasite in the restaurant. Not sure if it's still there.
1st you had me drooling over dumplings in SG valley I must go to and now Korean! These 2 places are a must visit, so much passion in that cooking and your reactions are very encouraging.
Mark is in Korean Food Heaven! My first taste of Korean Food was at a Korean Restaurant in Los Angeles in 1984. The South Korea 🇰🇷 Ambassador to Ghana 🇬🇭 hosted Ghana's Olympics Team at the Restaurant. I was invited by Ghana's then Sports Minister to join them. We had a wonderful time. South Korea hosted the 1988 Olympics Games in Seoul. That night at the Korean restaurant, the South Korea Ambassador and his team gave us the Olympic Pin for the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games and other memorabilia. I have never forgotten that experience! 😃
In the Korean home, the shell part of the marinated crab is always saved for the elders. 🥰 Love that you always seek out the most legit and original foods of any culture. None of the fusion stuff that's so trendy. This was as good as your Korea trip videos. Thanks Mark!
Mark to me you are a food critic. You are actually promoted their business for tourist's to go their to eat. You're be amazed that tourists don't know where to eat but watching you enjoying Korean food draws customer's to try their food.
Wow! Korean food is one of my all time favorites, Mark! The food at both Mdk Noodles and Soban looked magnificent! That banchan spread at Soban...what?! Insane! Cannot wait for the next video! Great Collab with Rockstar Eater. Happy New Year to you, Ying and Micah... may it be your most successful RUclips year ever! 😊😊😊
😻 Korean Food Is My Ultimate Favorite 😻 I Absolutely Loved watching the Chef❣️ You can Definitely tell how passionate she is with her masterpieces by the way she prepares and handles every ingredient♥️Beautiful♥️
I was thrilled to see you made a video on Korea town!! I enjoyed watching all the amazing foods you showed us. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you for posting this video, Mark! I'm definitely trying that Soban restaurant the next time I'm in LA. Their dishes look insane, can't wait to try them all. Happy New Year!
On Christmas Eve we went to nativity service and came home and ate seafood til stuffed. Christmas in my wife' family to have traditional turkey dinner. Stuffed again. Boxing Day went to father in law and mother in law who had huge roast if beef. Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, gravy Brussels sprouts squash etc. I can't possibly eat another bite. I feel stuffed and yuck......oh look at those delicious noodles. Well if it is refreshing, let's have a little!!!!!!!
Mark has a HIGH METABOLISM. But I sometimes think, he must be SMOKING some very good BUD, OFF CAMERA, for him to DEVOUR the amount of food he eats in 1 day. Also MARK eats such a VARIETY of HIGH QUALITY FOOD, and he has a WORK OUT REGIMENT. INCLUDING all of the walking he does when he visits different places. Also he suppliments ALL THE FOOD HE eats by eating LOTS of VEGETABLES. But it is UNCANNY that he isn't overweight, with the AMOUNT of PORK he eats.
Wow love Korean food is the bomb I love it and yes kimchi is addicting I can’t live without it. I just wish they were more acceptable of outsiders cause we so put them on the map in our country. Love you Korea we love you and respect you.
As an Iranian, I really love Korean foods😍😩 they are amazing and tasty. Today I tried Korean-fired chicken for the first time, and I can easily say that it was the most delicious fried chicken I have tried so far. I also tried kimbap and noodles (different noodles), and they tasted sooooo good. The Korean egg roll was also one of my favorite food 😁 If I have a chance, I want to try more Korean food. Can you recommend me more delicious Korean foods?
WOW… WOW, do I want to go HERE! The food critic’s favourite! The husband does all the cooking, the wife all the pickling and other magic..Soban? {name escapes me..out of sight, out of mind🙄} Wjat a beauuutiful spread! 🍱🍛🍲🥘♥️
Nice! 👌 It's been awhile since you went to Korea so it's great to see you feasting on the delicious food! Thanks for sharing! Hugs to Ying & Micah, and you.
Wow all these side dishes 반찬들 my mom cooked for me when i was little and now i cook them for my kids!!! So happy to see all these yummy food here!!👍👍👍👍 thank you!
I LOVE Korean food, but what I loved seeing most in all those kitchens were those banged up old black, crusty pans with matching dented up lids! I have a few pans like that I inherited from my mother, and they are older than I am, and have cooked so many countless delicious meals. I would not trust a kitchen or the cooks if the pans were all shiny and new looking. I like the utensils that look like they have been thru a war or two.
I remember going to an all u can eat Korean bbq in ktown with some coworkers. We ate and got drunk off plum wine🤗, it was one of the best nights everrrrr🥰😋
Its obvious that Mark is a foodie and he loves all sorts of cuisines and the new ones that he brings to us through this channel r more Intriguing to watch and that's wht makes Mark so exceptional .
I’m drooling watching. LOVEEEE Korean food. So many side dishes to go along, the red color is so tempting and you know it’s traditional when there’re pairs of scissors involved. My reaction is the same with you when the yummy food is in front 😁 I even start to dance a bit when it’s soooo yummy 😂 Khob khun ka P’Mark for another amazing food tour 😋

Wow! Korean food is one of my all time favorites, Mark! The food at both Mdk Noodles and Soban looked magnificent! That banchan spread at Soban...what?! Insane! Cannot wait for the next video! Great Collab with Rockstar Eater. Happy New Year to you, Ying and Micah... may it be your most successful RUclips year ever! 😊😊😊
His video is very interesting and alot of fun
Korean Food !!!! I love it! Thanks Mark!
Kimchi, home made acorn flour dumpling, 24 ingredients for crab, sea weed noodles, fermented plum tea. Lost for words except for heavenly.
😻 Korean Food Is My Ultimate Favorite 😻
I Absolutely Loved watching the Chef❣️ You can Definitely tell how passionate she is with her masterpieces by the way she prepares and handles every ingredient♥️Beautiful♥️
I'm impressed Steve was able to keep up with Mark with respect to the eating.

LOVE FROM PAKISTAN 🇵🇰
I was thrilled to see you made a video on Korea town!! I enjoyed watching all the amazing foods you showed us. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!
Nothing beats LA for Korean food, often better offerings than the motherland.🥢
Wow! Huge food ! Look so delicious! My mouth watering now
Mark u never stop helping out smaller youtuber vloggers. You r the man.
Thank you for posting this video, Mark! I'm definitely trying that Soban restaurant the next time I'm in LA. Their dishes look insane, can't wait to try them all. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2022 To All ruclips.net/video/9KkT5FFPKqY/видео.html
Mark, please show us the interior of the dumplings.
On Christmas Eve we went to nativity service and came home and ate seafood til stuffed. Christmas in my wife' family to have traditional turkey dinner. Stuffed again. Boxing Day went to father in law and mother in law who had huge roast if beef. Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, gravy Brussels sprouts squash etc. I can't possibly eat another bite. I feel stuffed and yuck......oh look at those delicious noodles. Well if it is refreshing, let's have a little!!!!!!!
The food looks amazing. I don't know how Mark keeps such good shape eating all this food. 🤣🤣🤣
Mark has a HIGH METABOLISM. But I sometimes think, he must be SMOKING some very good BUD, OFF CAMERA, for him to DEVOUR the amount of food he eats in 1 day. Also MARK eats such a VARIETY of HIGH QUALITY FOOD, and he has a WORK OUT REGIMENT. INCLUDING all of the walking he does when he visits different places. Also he suppliments ALL THE FOOD HE eats by eating LOTS of VEGETABLES. But it is UNCANNY that he isn't overweight, with the AMOUNT of PORK he eats.
I think all those hot peppers and sauces speed up his metabolism too. He also does a lot of walking.
Wow I would love to visit, and experience the Korean food culture.
I have been living in South Korea for 22 years...this is a FEAST!
*wOw 😍 You are MY FAVOURITE!!*
Wow!!! My favorite video so far it’s so pure and naked enjoyment of all the dishes laid on the table. I love Korean food! Delicious
Wow love Korean food is the bomb I love it and yes kimchi is addicting I can’t live without it. I just wish they were more acceptable of outsiders cause we so put them on the map in our country. Love you Korea we love you and respect you.
Oh my word so many authentic restaurants in LA! I literally work near there and have never explored these wonderful places.
As an Iranian, I really love Korean foods😍😩 they are amazing and tasty. Today I tried Korean-fired chicken for the first time, and I can easily say that it was the most delicious fried chicken I have tried so far. I also tried kimbap and noodles (different noodles), and they tasted sooooo good. The Korean egg roll was also one of my favorite food 😁
If I have a chance, I want to try more Korean food. Can you recommend me more delicious Korean foods?
Try kal-bi (beef rib bbq) my friend.
Soondubu (soft tofu soup), Japchae (stir fried glass noodles), dak galbi (spicy bbq chicken)
as a korean-iranian, family dinners are insanely amazing 🥰
love the food ! Mark has such a humble personality
Whenever he throws his head back and does his Santa laugh "hohohoho" we know he is enthralled by all of the wonderful flavors and taste! 👍
WOW… WOW, do I want to go HERE! The food critic’s favourite! The husband does all the cooking, the wife all the pickling and other magic..Soban? {name escapes me..out of sight, out of mind🙄} Wjat a beauuutiful spread! 🍱🍛🍲🥘♥️
Nice! 👌 It's been awhile since you went to Korea so it's great to see you feasting on the delicious food! Thanks for sharing! Hugs to Ying & Micah, and you.
🎉Happy New Year Mark, Ying, Micah, Steve, and Everyone!🎉
It looks so good and mouth wateringly delicious.

You make the best videos!!! I wish you would come to Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean 🇹🇹 we have so many cultures and food all melted into 1!!!
Nothing beats a food tour of Koreatown with Rockstar Pastor Cha 🤩
"Can you eat all this, Mark?" Do you even have to ask!? 😅
Yo Golden love you Tiktoks man 📈📈

Does he feed the homeless with the food he has left over ?
*I need to invite Mark to my food tours so he can eat all the foods while I film* 🤣

Wow wish I was your kid. Lol I would love to taste all these goodies
Happy New Year 2022 To All ruclips.net/video/9KkT5FFPKqY/видео.html
I LOVE Korean food, but what I loved seeing most in all those kitchens were those banged up old black, crusty pans with matching dented up lids! I have a few pans like that I inherited from my mother, and they are older than I am, and have cooked so many countless delicious meals. I would not trust a kitchen or the cooks if the pans were all shiny and new looking. I like the utensils that look like they have been thru a war or two.
If I had to eat only one type of food my entire life, it would be Korean food!
Thanks for Mark for showing us your fans different culture of food on the channel
I remember going to an all u can eat Korean bbq in ktown with some coworkers. We ate and got drunk off plum wine🤗, it was one of the best nights everrrrr🥰😋
Soban we will see you this summer!! Thanks Mark as always!

LOVEEEE Korean food. So many side dishes to go along, the red color is so tempting and you know it’s traditional when there’re pairs of scissors involved.

Khob khun ka P’Mark for another amazing food tour 😋
