If you are Korean my suggestion is to stop trying to eat Chinese food, because you will only be disappointed.

I have done business with a lot of Koreans in Taiwan for the past 15 years and this is what I noticed.

Usually Koreans have really selective taste buds and can only appreciate the predominant flavors of Korean cuisine: spicy, sweet, sesame, soy sauce, and garlic/onion.

Any dominant flavor outside the usual set of Korean flavors and for the most part they consider it odd tasting. An example is pho. Koreans love eating pho (it’s beef and it’s soup, two things they love), but they don’t like the herbal taste of pho so it is drowned out with hot sauce.

Koreans also tend to think many foreign foods are too salty/sweet/oily, because it is not paired with spice. So even though the absolute amount of sugar or sodium in a foreign dish might be LESS than a Korean dish (which is generally really high in sodium), the difference between the levels of salt/sweet/oily and spice is GREATER than a Korean dish; and so something like plain king crab legs at a casino buffet will be considered too salty. Or why my partner thought stir fried noodles was too oily until he put a lot of hot sauce onto it. This is also why Korean food also tends to be almost completely unsalted and unspiced, or loaded with salt and spice.

When eating with Koreans, I notice they do not have as much preference for food texture as Chinese. For example, the meat can be dry, tough, or overcooked by my standards and they have no issue with it. Vegetables can be boiled and soggy by my standards and they are ok with it. At the same time they do not appreciate tender moist meat like I do. It is totally lost on them.

Other things in Chinese cuisine such as subtle aromatics, freshness, texture, etc. are also not appreciated by Koreans.

For example, I've seen Koreans put hot sauce on raw fish, and I have eaten steamed fish (expensive because it was live fish) with Koreans who instinctively put red hot sauce on the fish before even trying it or tasting it or fill a bowl of noodle soup with hot sauce, again before even tasting it.

Chinese and Koreans look for different things in food. As a result, your dissatisfaction goes both ways. I remember reading an article where thousands of Chinese tourists were asked to rate Korean food and they gave it a grade C. The most popular Korean dish was pork belly, which comes as no surprise because Chinese are huge pork eaters.
