Today’s description! Starting from top left: braised sweet pumpkin and galbi (단호박갈비찜), kimchi (김치), sauce for the Kim and rice (양념장), stir fried sausages (소시지볶음), rice (밥), seaweed (김), mallow soup (아욱국), yogurt!!!!! (요구르트)
FAQ answers:
No I didn’t make it
No there are not vegan options (afaik)
No there are not allergy options (afaik)
The yakult is only served some days
It’s a high school
Students and teachers eat the same thing
It’s a private school (not in the way American private schools work, the funding just comes from different sources so students still get in for free)
Students pay nothing! (Teachers pay $3-4)
Even though it’s a private school, students do not pay tuition or anything like that. Students only get in based on if they are in that school’s area.
Banchan is the Korean word for side dish
Most of the lunches are around 800-900 calories
I’m not sure where you can buy the tray from in your country. I recommend online
I’m something like 90% sure those are cocktail weenies in the top right. Unexpected!
That’s better than most of my dinners.. looks great!
this ish be $20 in LA ktown haha
That’s honestly a good way to make people *want* to go to school.
You win. This is the best school lunch on Reddit ever.
I can’t get enough of that seaweed.
I was in a ROKAF base and the food you have is similar to what we eat for lunch! Holy moley I can’t wait to go back this summer!
Item on top left corner looks yummmm.
Even without the English labelling the shape of that plastic bottle is dead giveaway for Yakult.
I honestly feel like, if American schools tried to feed kids food this healthy there would be a conservative protest at the next school board meeting where the idiots would be like, “stop trying to feed my kids healthy food!”
mmm hot dog kimchi
It’s my honest opinion that Korea has perfected the art of flavor. They make the best tasting, most enjoyable meals. The only thing that even comes close is Cajun food.
That’s just my opinion as a guy who likes food though.
Hot dog salad
That looks yummy. Whats in the small steel bowl ?
Checks the comments.
Yep, the usual suspects going on about it not being free because taxes.
WE KNOW.
“Free” means “free at point of use”. No children have to hand over money. Children whose parents don’t pay any tax, for whatever reason (I’m not sure about the Korean tax and welfare system, but I am guessing people that are unemployed don’t pay tax), will still get it without cost.
Stop trying to be clever. You are just making yourselves look like dicks.
i work at fortune 50 company.. this way better than our cafeteria
Instantly made me think of this.

I love this channel. Got addicted after watching this series.
WTF is this shit getting all 5 food groups… Wheres the miscellaneous “pizza” bake?! Wheres the fried chicken tumors / nuggets?!
If kids eat like this at lunch they’ll know when they are forced to eat, in some cases, literal shit for the sake of profits! It’s unsustainable I tell you!
I miss those school lunches. So delicious and healthy.
However, they can get a bit repetitive. Most meat options are generally slathered in gochujang, and all the rice products can give you some constipation.
But Korea is one of my favorite places to eat still!
Yakult!! Oh my god, I haven’t had that in years!! In Mexico we grow up drinking this (at least Mexico City), didn’t know it’s Korean!
