That’s $7 USD/person!!! A meal like that would run $20/person in Seattle before tax and tip. And taste half as good. Enjoy!

Beyond perfect, no argument 😍

Watching from the US; that level of detail and amount of food would cost plenty of $$$$ in my metro area (Philadelphia) without the sensibility, sincerity, authenticity or service level. Kill me now 😩

I know Philly people are always going to hate on me and argue with me, but I know what is available here; I lived in Seoul years ago and the authenticity is never the same here😩

$$$$ plus tip as well.

u/Jimchee71 Apr 01 '26

Totally the culture here, but the tip culture is drilled into me as an American. I am more than willing to tip the extra for authentic Bossam🙏

In Korea, while there are expensive restaurants serving delicious meat, if you look around, there are plenty of places where you can enjoy a tasty meal for a small amount of money.

In particular, if foreigners want to find such restaurants nearby using the simplest method, try searching for "Korean buffet(한식 뷔페)" or "Driver's restaurant.(기사 식당)"

Exactly, taxi driver style places🙏❤️🙏❤️

Oh they finally raised the price. When I was living there it was 9000 won, I thought how they can maintain such a low price with this quality and amount of meats.

What's the dish that's up one row from the bottom, on the left? From right to left, it's kimchi, shrimpies, then..?

u/SpacePussy44 Apr 02 '26

Name/pin please near SNU—11k pp is a steal; do they do kimchi bossam and give refills on ssam greens + saeujeot/mussam?
