Yes a secret we as Koreans have known. And it's not just teriyaki stands we run Japanese restaurants as well. But Seattle also has a lot of Asian cuisine. Pho, teriyaki, Thai, and now Korean and Hawaiian restaurants are everywhere. We don't just own smoke shops and cornerstores.

@omggiiirl20775 ай бұрын
@@harryroger1739 we actually have many Korean restaurants and a few Chinese restaurants, I e even seen a few Chinese, pho and a Thai restaurant owned by a Korean person. I just find it hilarious how no one has a problem with white people owning all these different ethnic restaurants but now it's a problem because it's us. I've also seen a Chinese man own and run a Japanese restaurant and Japanese food being served at Chinese buffets. Ask yourself why aren't Japanese opening up restaurants that people are going to? And why aren't they out doing all the other restaurants? Korean people open a business where the money is at. If you have a problem don't eat there. Not my fault that people keep eating at these restaurants. Not one twisted their arms, and no one is holding a gun to their heads. As if there's some type of rule that Korean people can only cook Korean food. Then if that's the case, please stop cooking our food because I see you guys trying to cook our food and failing each and every time!
