    I love that they went to Korea and showed us around Korean street food, but I felt like they gave us the bare minimum! They could have done a 1 hr show with various eats there! Or even other street foods in other places. There's so much to see and eat there and this was barely touching the surface! Made me sad. This video could have been more. So much more! I loved Esther's energy and love for Korean food!

    Though I have to say- though the Netflix ladies handcut noodles were amazing, the mandu were just on par with the Bibigo frozen mandu you get in Korean grocery stores. But that's more of a compliment to how good the frozen mandu are there. 😂
