Chef Yie Yori was incredibly knowledgeable and down to earth throughout the whole tour. If you have many inquiries about the local seafood and delicacies, chef Yie can provide many insightful answers on the local seafood. He can tell you how any of the food you eat is prepared; as well as the best flavour combinations. If you are curious about food in Korea, chef Yie will not only inform you of everything popular, but also many obscure and delicious authentic korean dishes!

Chef Yie is absolutely fantastic! He is so very fun, friendly, easy to talk to and speaks excellent English. Great conversation and learned so much about Korean culture. Chef Yie is also very knowledgeable about the fish market, ingredients, foods, and resturants. He did a great job accomodating my allergies to crab and shrimp. The food was absolutely delicious; very fresh, and we got to taste all areas of Korea! My husband even was able to safely hold a HUGE live crab. Best picture of the trip! This was by far one of the best experiences we have ever had in Korea! I am only giving this 5 stars, because I cannot give 10!
