One of the best ways to test your decision-making skills is by browsing through a Korean restaurant menu.

It’s time to put your foot down. Say no to a bitin and pricey Korean dining experience! Visit these incredibly affordable Korean buffets, and buckle up for the most pleasurable form of food coma.
