You're actually 100% correct. It's a misconception that Korean food is all meat and Korean bbq. Korean cuisine is very vegetable forward. We love variety and many different flavour combinations. Even where there is meat in a meal it is often not the star, or at least always balanced with vegetables and banchan.

indeed, I counted once how many types of namul, aka cooked and seasoned vegetable, I grew up eating and it was around 30~35 different types. When I did some research about namul, across the nation there are easily more than100 different types of namul eaten by people. In addition, Koreans love fresh raw vegetable like ssam, fermented or pickled vegetables as well as sea plants. As far as vegetable or sea plant dishes go, it is countless.

Well, in New York they out-number French restaurants now in haute cuisine scene, 7 French to 9 Korean out of 45 total. I think these are Michelin starred ones . This happened VERY recently though. And many of it is fusion to accommodate New Yorker's taste, which aren't quite ready for full-on Korean foods, they think. Full-on authentic Koreans ones are beginning to pop up as well, at least one out of the 9 is one. This is according to an article I read. I've never lived in NY City. Here in L.A. area, authentic Korean restaurants are fairly common including straight Korean franchises. But they aren't common as Chinese or Mexican, or even Italian, for sure. Maybe like Thai or Vietnamese, but slightly less still. All the Vietnamese I know love to eat Korean lol.

@@jacobh9487 There are definitely more than 9 Korean restaurants in NYC. I know of at least two that have earned Michelin stars.

18:33 The noodle dish is “kalguksu”. The name name of the place is Myeongdong Gyoza - “gyoza” like the fried dumpling - but they’re famous for their noodles and the only dumplings they serve are steamed. But a lot of locals just refer to it as Myeondong Kalguksu. I used to go to this place at least once a month the 7 years I lived there. The first time I tried it was on my first date with my wife.

I have been in Korea for a few years, and as you can see, people are not as lively as they used to be and prices are very high. However, if you go to the Jeolla region other than Seoul, it will be different. Busan and Gyeongju were good, but Jeonju, Gwangju, and Mokpo were much better. Please visit south. It was also nice to enjoy the sheep ranch and Korean beef in Gangwon-do and see the east coast. I wish you nothing but blessings.

19:31 the kimchi at myeondong gyoza is a specific variant that has a shit ton of garlic and it’s served fresh. Like it’s spicy because of chili powder, but almost more so because of the raw garlic flavor. It goes really well with the noodles and dumplings there, but it’s not the kind of kimchi you want with every meal.
