What is a money bomb
North Korea needs to go down
You must be referring to MacDonald's and the United States. Perhaps you should study history as far back as the 1950s and see what the US did to Korea. The US as children in cages at the borders, has dropped atomic bombs, and is oppresses many Muslim nations thru out the world.
Imagine seriously taking North Korea as a menace against humanity.
WTF MACDONALS IS KOREAN? ahhhhhhhhhh ok no
bruh
Honstely the food looks good lol
North Korea is also well known for printing fake US 100 dollar bills by the millions and dealing drugs en mass like meth and fentanyl. NK is a totally evil regime. 😆😆🇺🇸🇰🇷
My father was a contractor who did machine service on Soviet cruise vessels when they docked at Brooklyn. They insisted on feeding him and the food was out of this world.
Can you guarantee my safe return incase I like liked this video and happen to crash (as I forgot the name you mentioned) this restaurant at some point in my life?
Yeah, a tiny cash-strapped country with SOOO much access to fissile material is the world's greatest geopolitical threat. Meanwhile, at present, across the pond..
Open this restaurant in india please
00:25 omg it's run by the american government???????
Love your videos, and your pronunciation is amazing considering how far god set you back by giving you an american accent :p Big love from the UK 🇬🇧
Why would anyone buy tea from UK, when the UK imports 100% of its tea?
I love that you pronounce “UK” with an accent
Yay, let's insult a country that had a greater tonnage of bombs dropped on it than any other single country, including the atom bombs dropped on Japan! And has been threatened with annihilation on a regular basis ever since. When was the last time a North Korean spoiled your day?
so you're telling me I might have aided in boosting the economy of a brutal country ruled by a maniacal, fat tyrant because I ordered kimchi from a nearby restaurant that I didn't know the name of? seems legit
Long live the DPRK and fuck this mediocre enfotainment channel!
If you try to steal one of the pictures, they'll sentence you to forced labor and later they'll put you in a coma.
I live in Thailand! Thank you for telling me which restaurant to NEVER support! ❤️
North Korea is better than usa
It is not kimchi. It's potatoes in chilli sause.
i have been to one of these restaurants. the waitress are all exceptionally pretty and slim (for a reason)
Dude, I'm sorry you've never had Phish Food. It's not fish flavored, it's a band reference.
2:53 yea boi proud to be American (Music) *”oh yea I’m a American! Maniac!”*
It's sad that this channel represents US as "the world" etc..
Watched this video out of curiosity about North Korean global(?) restaurant chain, learned there was actually one in my own country...
The Global Restaurant Chain Run by North Korea 0:48 "This Pyongyang restaurant is one of over 130 Pyongyang restaurants all across Asia, in countries like China, Thailand, Vietnam and more" Call me naive, be that doesn't sound very global to me.
Ive been. It's fun.
What the Fuck?!?!
who holds the waitresses from escaping?
Don’t give money to NK, you are helping a terrible dictatorship.
Would love to visit this country. This country is showing its wicked acts while the western countries hides and denies that they are doing anything wrong.lol
Phish food! Go trey!
It's got to be better than Chinese cuisine . Bats and locusts ? No ta
Fuck Ben and Jerry’s. virtue signalling bastards.
Have you been to north korea? I am tired of this propaganda.

@The1Mustache3 i know that, i meant that you cant visit it legally unless you go along this really specific guided route

@Eirenarch That is false. You can visit. No flights from the "western" world. But there are countries where you can get a flight to North Korea. If you depart from Russia Vietnam or China to name a few.

You know you cant freely visit north korea right?
I had dinner at one of these restaurants a couple of years ago, in Shanghai. Everything was very kitschy.
So are these staffed from the dear leaders harem rejects? I bet the service is to die for. We need to open some in commifornia. Might as well get ahead of the curve.
The most brutal, repressive, murderous dictator in the world is the USA you imbecile
I came for the twisted ideas of a murderous dictator...I stayed for the unabashed sarcasm. 😏
At least they don't bomb the shit out of other countries.
This is funny as I live in the USA and I'm educated enough to know the USA overthrown many governments from many countries such as n.Korea. Most people in our country are brainwashed slaves to the rich, as we have a government that works for the rich not the people.
Spies. SPIES!
YOU SHOULD DO THIS VIDEO IN YOUR TYRONE VOICE🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Wait, wait, wait.....COLD noodles?! Umm, no thanks.🤢 Even if they weren’t made in a restaurant from a literal hell on earth.
Cool
Bull Shit Content!!
Watching to know what they are so I can boycott them
When the supreme leader ask for the manager... Prepare yourself.
Why don't they just warm them up?
I have a Karen fetish
Why js this allowed? Why are people spending money to give to Fat Rocket man? Burn them down.
Wow, that one lady is allowed red hair o.0
This dude getting in his own jabs while dissing north korea. +1internets
In the original Oceans 11 they were caught.
Ate in a Korean restaurant in China once which was run by men from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Would never eat in one of those
I went to one in Malaysia once back in 2017? Iirc and it was pretty meh but the cold noodles were actually pretty good,but I noticed how it was pretty empty(Probably Because of y'know the assassin thing)overall it's Good but The place gives an Aura when you remember that the staff would be punished if business declines, 3,8⭐ Maybe I'll visit again tomorrow
Ive actually been to one of those in China. It feels completely normal and weird at the same time. Granted, I was there when I was younger so I'm sure it would be a little different going there now.
I wonder if China Biden will be helping them as well.
In order to restrict the flow of information, the North Korean government sends its citizens to work abroad to work for customers that can say anything they want to.
Real life never heard anyone that talk this fast with a lisp...so annoying. Speech therapy is a thing
Hang on, just done a google search. How come North Korean Won has more value than South Korean Won to Sterling? That doesn’t make sense.
Sooooo close with the kimchi. The dish you kept showing is fermented turnip. The kimchi was in the next bowl over, fermented cabbage
The idea of going to one of these restaurants sounded fun at first and then as I realized the financial aspect it's starting to look like international money laundering or even treason. Hard pass lol
So, support them or they’ll kill their “employees.”
So, why don't the workers just leave out the door? Easy escape.
Please cover South Korea's Mcdonalds: Lotteria
I went to north korea its actually amazing they have state of the art cars. Then i woke up
This is a shitty documentary.
By shear numbers alone China's Communist Party is the most Murderous regime on the planet.
It takes wan to know wan..(snare)..bum bum, bum....
Been to the one in Shanghai ... DPK soju is very moonshine-like lol ... their seafood dishes are very good and different from those from the south... Can’t stop feeling bad about eating NK produce while the people that caught those fish abalone could very much be starving
Here again Westerners who have never been to North Korea talking like they know everything about the country.
The most brutal murdurous country in the world??? really??? Well who BOMB JAPAN, AFGHANISTAN,IRAQ, SYRIA, LEBANON...... better look in your backyad first before you look at others....
Well now I know not to go to this restaurant
Somewhere a guy named Juan is triggered
why dont people stone the cameras at the restaurants and the waitresses would get freedom and obviously they would do it once a month when they have the 30K $ so they could live a normal life and if someone would find them sus they would just tell the person that they are from south korea/ china
North Korea likes to try and convince its own citizens everything is fine, and with these restaurants, I guess they are doing that for the rest of the world.
0:51 Show's the Pyongyang restaurant in Cambodia -- doesn't show Cambodia on the map just a few seconds later^^;
US buys tea from UK ,what could go wrong?
An American saying that North Korea's nuclear armament is the biggest threat to the world is a bit ironic, but I guess you get a pass cause you produce Hollywood movies and burgers
Well I for one am glad you did not get hit by small arms fire running across the DMZ at Applebees. Was it difficult integrating with society after?
Sonmi-451's past history
For a sec I thought they were gonna talk about panda express
Still better than McDonalds
I defected from Applebee's
It must be better for these waitresses than being in North Korea. *watched the end of the video* oh...I take that back!
It takes yuan to know yuan
Does the cuisine include the corpses of your relatives when there's a famine? Surely one of NK's most famous foods.
If you eat there you should insist on paying in North Korean currency only. Then run like hell.
China is just a richer with more friends North-Korea, they both have concentration camps they both have leaders for life, and they both have total control on the medias
I want to eat inthese North Korean restaurants so bad, Be serious North Korean isn t counting on a couple of restaurants to financially lead a country.
US government is much worse.
why “censorship and oppression” like that is unique to DPRK? see quite a bit of that in the USA man and it ain’t the North Koreans doing it- seems to be same people doing and promoting the censorship here who would probably tell you all about how terrible and awful DPRK is.
FACE REVEAL?
This is like those restaurants in Cloud Atlas with the fabricant waitresses
Fun fact: 72% of North Korea's total food production goes to these restaurants.
