🇰🇷7첩 반상에 감동한 미국인 반응 | 실제 미국인 식당 영어(예약,주문,계산) | 한식당에서도 팁을 줄까?💰

시원하다. I feel like I'm back in Seoul. Korean food is taking over America, and this restaurant, Gisa Siktang specifically, has gone completely viral. Personally, I love Gisa Siktang and go often in Seoul because the meals are very affordable and delicious. I think here the food will be amazing, but probably a bit more pricey than it is in Seoul. Let's go check it out. Hi! Yes. Um, I do have space for 2. Okay. Just as a heads up, it's just by the door.

Is that going to be okay?

That's totally fine. Yeah, thank you. Bulgogi and one tea.

Okay.

Do you have any allergies? Nope. Uh, anything to drink? No, I think, I think we're all set. Bulgogi, please. Yes, please. Thank you. They've got boricha, barley tea. I love it. It's perfect cuz it's so cold outside and this is nice and warm. Even the cups are like in Korea. Wow, thank you so much. We just got our food and they put it on this massive platter. We've got rice, soup, our main dish, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 different side dishes. And looking at the side dishes, they give you really good stuff. We've got fresh salmon, we've got some jeon, like they have have at solal or chuseok in Korea. It all looks really delicious, and actually I really love the interior of the restaurant. It reminds me of retro Seoul, so I feel like I'm in Jongno or Euljiro right now. All right, let's dig in. Gotta start with the banchan first, of course. I think it's perilla seed radish. Tastes like something I've had in Seoul for sure.

What is this?

Squid, maybe? I'm not huge on squid. Mmm, not bad. Kimchi, I know I love, always love kimchi. Mmm, that's some good kimchi. Very tangy. Actually, I haven't had Korean food for quite some time, so it's really nice getting to have Korean food again. I ordered jjeyuk for my main. I heard it's a popular dish here. This is actually so good. Very authentic. Dakgangjang chicken. It's amazing that they give this as a side dish. Mmm!

This is like a sokcho, Gangneung level. Soft, tender, warm, marinated well. Finally get to try the real Korean fried chicken again.

The thing I like about the side dishes in Seoul though is that the refills are unlimited. Here, I don't think it's the same.

This is my favorite kind of bulgogi. This tastes really good. Smoky flavor. I think best option would be 2 people come and then 1 stew and 1 bulgogi. But I think I would choose Bulgogi over jjimmyu?

It's a toss-up. I like the bulgogi and the jjimmyu. Got to get them both. Thank you so much. Amazing. Very happy. Yeah, she won. Cleared it. It was so good. I noticed a lot of Koreans coming here actually. That's how you know it's a good spot. Also, I had to laugh. It was kind of funny seeing Americans eating Korean food and packing up the leftovers. I love it because I hate wasting food, but living in Seoul, I never see people packing up banchan to take home, so it kind of made me laugh. Can we get the bill, please?

Yes.

Okay, thank you. Yeah, $2 to refill your side dishes. If you refill your side dishes, it's got to be the chicken or the salmon to be worth it.

That's a tip.

Tip. Okay, thank you so much. Take care of the table. Yeah, no problem. You guys get busy, hey?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's good though. That's cool. After tax, it's about $70, but we haven't paid the tip yet either. So it kind of hurts my heart a little bit knowing how much I'd pay for this in Seoul. It's about 3 times more expensive at least. But for New York City standards, I think it's pretty fair. It hurts, but I do love this restaurant. If you're in New York, I think it's worth it. Plus they give you free coffee. Coffee is included. So that's also a plus. Even better, mixed coffee. Here we go. Wow, so sweet. I love it. Perfect way to end the meal. We came to Mariné for lunch, which is a Korean fusion restaurant that specializes in hand rolls. It's a more casual sister restaurant to MARI, which is a Michelin star restaurant here in New York City. Let's go check it out. Oh, no problem.

Okay.

And you said it was for 4? Yes. Is the rice beer makgeolli?

Yes.

Okay, we'll get one of those please. Thank you. We're starting the afternoon off with some makgeolli. I'm really surprised to see this in New York. When I lived here before, I saw soju a lot on different menus, but not makgeolli. So maybe it's getting more popular these days in the US. Cheers! I've missed this. Makgeolli is my favorite Korean alcohol. Mmm. Our first dish is shrimp tempura, and it's served with wasabi aioli. I think this is going to pair perfectly with our makgeolli. Wow, the shrimp is so juicy inside, and I love the sauce. I thought fried shrimp was a simple dish, but the flavors are quite complex. Very good. I'll take 100 of these. Chicken.

Oh, it's very similar.

You're saying it tastes like jochon chicken but in shrimp form? Yes, I can see it. That's fair.

Can't go wrong with this combo.

Can't go wrong. We demolished this in 2 seconds. It's so good. Maybe we're getting warm from the makgeolli. I just had to take my jacket off. I'm rolling up my sleeves for this. So the waiter recommended just eating the fatty tuna roll as is because he said it has a very clean taste. So I'm just going to take a bite without any soy sauce. Wow, I can see what he means. The texture is good. It's not like super fishy or over overpowering. Really nice. And I like that the seaweed is still very crispy and crunchy since it's fresh. I'm gonna try it with some sauce because he said all the sauces are house-made. I love that they put it in squeeze bottles. It makes it much easier. I like it with the sauce. Very nice. Try the vegan one.

Wow, surprisingly I like this one more than—

really? You like the vegan one more than the tuna?

This one.

I like the tuna one more than the vegan. Who are we?

Salmon, not salmon, salmon.

Salmon. I love that they give you ginger as the palate cleanser too.

Actually a lot better than I expected.

Is this going to bother you here? It's on us, but okay, I just don't want to be in your way. You guys have a favorite? I like the last one, the spicy tuna. Oh my gosh, yes! I was like, potato in a roll like that? I've never heard of that. But I, I really thought I was super picky with fish, right? But I loved all of the fish ones. Yeah, they were great. So I think maybe I wasn't eating like good quality fish or something, but this was amazing. Enjoyed all of it. Okay. Okay, sounds good. Thank you very much. We also got Jeonshi Guksoo. Wow, I'm back in Korea now. It's transported me back to Seoul. Quite similar.

It's pretty good. It's one bite.

No, this is why I can't share with you.

I think it can be done in one bite.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Not you slurping the noodles. He's watching. Now we're at Dan Dan K BBQ. If you ask any American about Korean food, barbecue is probably the first thing that comes to their mind. It has become so popular in the US. I'm ready to eat some sanggyeopsal. Let's go. Um, I have a reservation. What's your name on it? Callie Anderson. 2 people? Yeah. For you guys. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll give you a mirror, right? Okay, thank you so much.

Do you have any food allergies?

Nope.

Did you guys want to start off with a beer? We have Dandan beer.

Sure, maybe a bottle of soju.

We also have our in-house Dandan beer.

Oh, okay, awesome. Thank you. Yeah, soju, we have several Jinro, Chamiseul, and Cheoncheon. What do you like? I would say Jinro. Sounds good. And for the choice of stews, we have kimchi, doenjang, and sundubu. Kimchi sounds good.

Yeah, this is going to be our condiments. This is going to be our wasabi and our ssamjang. It's made of soybean and gochugaru.

Thank you. Wow, I feel like I'm back in Seoul. Thank you, thank you.

Nice.

All right, he said this is the jawl. I'll dip it in the salt. I like this one because it's not a super fatty part of meat. I like it a little bit chewier. Moksar is my favorite, so that will be the true test. So nice.

Try it with a little bit of a hint of wasabi.

I can tell you're a professional at this. You're a good griller. I'm taking his recommendation and eating with the wasabi. Fire! When I'm in the US, I really miss Korean food, and this is legit. Here goes my favorite. He knows what he's doing on the grill, I'll tell you that much. Wow, it's perfect with a little bit of wasabi, a little bit I can't tell the difference from when I was in Jeju trying barbecue for the first time. This is awesome.

Cheers!

Let's learn some English at Korean barbecue. Gyeran-jjim is egg soufflé. Ssam is lettuce wrap. Kimchi is kimchi. I love eating with my hands. Roll it up and stuff it in your face. Time for a Korean drinking game. I suck at this game though. I'm so bad at flicking my fingers. That was a good one. I'm gonna use all my power here. I think my husband took it easy on me this time. I think he wanted an excuse to drink.

Strawberry ice cream with strawberry puree.

Awesome, thank you so much. I don't think I've ever had ice cream at Korean Korean barbecue in Seoul. Koreans, I love your barbecue, but you, you gotta get on that. This is a good touch.
