You are my absolute favorite UA-cam channel. TYSM for all of your videos and time! As someone who lived in Japan, you capture it so perfectly and you’ve made quarantined life that much better. My sister and I share them back and forth constantly. You’re so fun to watch and your food energy is the cutest thing ever. Mike Chen for President ⭐️
One of My favorite foods is Udon. Udon is a white noodle made from wheat flour. It is thick and soft. We can make noise when eating these noodles. Slurping when we eat hot Udon helps prevent us from burning our tongue
You have the best food channel on youtube and one of my favorite channel ever, every video is amazing and well put together, you deserve every subscriber you have and more. Hope you're having a great day.
Japan is beautiful.... A place that's so rich in there culture hopefully some day I will visit certain parts that you have shared with us. Thank you!!!!
Mike, earliest I've ever been here, and I just wanna say you have the best videos on youtube! Keep doing what your doing, and may hot oil forever flow freely where ever you are!
Wish you would do another collab with Simon and Martina. Loved your last one together. I believe they just did a vlog on udon also. You know winter is setting in Japan.
I have been lots to asia and love the food and from all the food blogs I have watched you are truly the best when I watch you I just want to sit with you and eat there is no one who describes what he is eating so good like you. Hope you keep on making lots of more videos of asian food.
right? I think it makes everyone who watches wanna explore! Its a shame that where I live its absurdly expensive to try new things, but I'll make it someday
@@mims_ye I think he meant the raw noodles as a joke as raw noodles should be the more chewy to eat than what he was eating in the video. I could be wrong tho
Tried Udon for the first time today! I love watching your videos, they make me crave all the food you eat. A Japanese fusion restaurant opened recently in my town, and I was finally able to try Udon! I have to admit jealousy about how much you can eat though, I ordered gyoza (6) and beef udon, had to take home half of each 😂 at least I have leftovers for a couple days!
I went to the first udon place this summer. The line was 3 times as long and my brother and me waited for around 2 hours in line. Still worth it. The udon was amazing (I took the bacon / egg one).
Omg that udon Japanese carbonara stopped me in my tracks. I have watched a thousand of your videos and almost always loved every single dish but wow... that udon looked like something I need to have in my mouth! That’s the only way I can put it.
@@SL-sb2mp no it's not. It means remembering what he loved best, going to that vlog and clipping him eating that thing and making a vlog out of it! Chill out people! My god!
I watched the same day this video is uploaded, and man I noticed its 1.9M subs already, you might actually start 2019 with 2M subs, early congratulations here! PS: japanese ramen and udon, my dream foods. Time to reset my hunger :)
I've been rewatching all your Japan videos trying to make a list of all the places and food I want to eat in Japan. In the end, I took off your Chanko Nabe place for Shin Udon since it's right by the hotel I booked. Plus, I am much more of a noodles girl. I almost put that omurice place on since I want to compare it to Pomu no Ki but in the end, I don't think I have the time to fit it in since you need to stand in line so long... I think it's called Kissa You since you didn't seem to list it in the description.
That second dish you ate seems like a play on pasta carbonara, which is my favorite Italian pasta dish ever. Thanks for the video Mike!!!! I'll have to stop there and try that when I travel to Japan in a few weeks
The tastiest one for me is the sanuki udon in kagawa. It’s the best! I don’t even like udon at first and i preferred ramen over it but once i’ve tasted the one in kagawa, i have a change of heart, mind and taste.
The chewy Udon noodles ,the tempura battered bacon followed by cheesy noodles OMG thats is just so delicious.🍜..I love You channels Mikey words cannot describe ..Your amazing ..Food is happiness ..❤️😘
MIKE- You're so lucky to be doing what you LOVE- at 37 I was still fighting in Afghanistan as a Warrant Officer, I didn't get out until 2 years later...
4:23 I'm transcribing that dish and making it! So decadent and delicious looking!! 14:35 This totally brings me back to my years in Japan. All the exotic flavor combinations! 16:55 Love omuraisu!
I learnt my lesson. Have food ready to go when you watch these vids i swear it makes you hungry, so im always prepared with my bowl/plate of food so it feels like im eating with mikey. P.s - even if your not eating noodles or food like mikes close your eyes listen and imagine the food your eating is the same lol good content as always MrChen ✌ stay eating well
I'm the guy in the blue shirt in the background that took a photo together after. Great to see you in person 👍. Mike Chen is spot on with the unique Udon.
the one thing that I particularly noticed about most of the Asian cities that you visit is that their streets are just spotless, absolutely spotless as if a whole team of people get out there every day and sweep them continuously, all day long ! it's just unbelievably beautiful as if you could almost actually eat off the streets themselves!
don't make me hungry bro really is my dreaming place . I don't know when i can go to japan. thank you bro show me about japan food especially Udon noodles 😋
This channel is perfect for when I'm dieting but still want to see food p*rn. Because when I go, "I absolutely have to eat that exact bowl of udon right this minute", it's in Japan and I'm in Australia.
Cool video Mike! That udon looks really fresh. The wide udon, I've never seen wide udon before! Looks so good. Hey, it's like some chow fun. Oh, or the fun in noodle soup with the gnow nom. Your chow fun wet or dry? WET OR DRY!!! Lol!!! I always say, you always gotta have the fun with the chow! Hey, wait a minute, where's Jasmina??? 😆😍😁🖤🤘👊🍻🍺
When you showed the omelette rice line, I was like, oh man, I love omurice, I hope you end up going there. But then you got out of the udon place and the line was even longer! And you said "maybe you should be filming it," my heart sank because you also said you were leaving soon. But you went back! We got to see the omurice! Awesome!
I just have to say that I really love watching your videos. The food looks so amazing. Of course I will never be able to afford any of the trips you take but at least I can see all the amazing different foods. So jealous. Great videos. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, UDON! My favorite noodles since the first time eat it. The chewwy texture with a huge volume noodles on it. Glad there's some Udon store franchise in my country (but not in my city huhu) EDIT: Marugame Udon are the name of Udon store in my country
I LOVE DIPPING TEMPURA AND UDON ITS MY FAVE . ALSO DIPPING NOODLES IN CURRY TSUKEMEN. Im going Japan in April and binge watching all your japan vids and i mean ALL.
Because of your channel, everytime I watch a video. The next day, I hit up the only Ichiban Noodle bar in Amarillo, Tx. 😂 The Spicy Miso ramen is the Embodiment of happiness for me! ❤
Your channel is the physical embodiment of happiness...
*digital embodiment
Ishika Sikdar lol I was just about to say that
@@ishikasikdar1251
Jjsidj
Of just eating
This was a cringey comment
The way Mike describes the food he eats, you know he likes to eat and it makes the food twice as appetizing.
bro you live the best life man....travel around the world meeting new people and eating different foods while making money
It really is beautiful!
When I was on vacation with my dad in Japan, we also went to that first place you went! So cool!
U go to Japan for vacation
Their bowls r very cute ngl lol
@@natanshk9021 Yes, We do any problem?
@@n0thing967 wht do u mean
@@natanshk9021 he says 'U got a problem?'
Glad to start my day with Mikey making me hungry 😂👍
Your day started and my day is over and it's gonna 12:00am LOL !!!
I personally eat while I watch his videos otherwise yes I am going to be insanely hungry
me too lol
The guy cooking the udon noodles at the start look like he's dancing... the noodle dance! 😁
He threw away the shrimp tempura tail! Sacrilege!!!
You are my absolute favorite UA-cam channel.

maplebobo awww thank you 🙏
*Looks all tasty and good but my budget doesn't allow me to leave my room* ;_;
Learn to cook
It's what I do. I rarely go anywhere
It's easy to make the noodle part it's just all purpose flour, salt, and water... the soup though
Î Bäbçõćk the ingredients tho $$$
Î Bäbçõćk trust me it’s a
Whole new level of cooking in japan
Right now I'm basically torturing Myself by watching this, those noodles look so good though
Udon noodles are the best type of noodles! I wish more cuisines would incorporate them into their cooking
Mikey is so lucky to be able to eat such delicious foods from all the countries. Love your videos!!!
Lol, ordering food through sign language ..That's gonna be me when I travel there alone. xD
The Omurice place is called Kissa You, it's in Ginza! I've been there and it's awesome
14:59 when the dude turns around 😂
Wow, i think that eggy cheesy udon is carbonara udon. It’d be super awesome
That's what I was thinking lol!
Me too! Just about the same ingredients!
Thought the same
Absolutely what I thought too.
Shhh, don't say "carbonara" in public...👀
here I sit sicker than I have been in years and u make me smile and giggle a bit... thank you
Japan is beautiful.... A place that's so rich in there culture hopefully some day I will visit certain parts that you have shared with us. Thank you!!!!
I love eating my lunch or dinner while watching Mikey eat! Also, that second dish was like a Japanese Udon Carbonara. Looked delicious!
I love him. Being from NYC, I love his sense of humor and take on everything!
Oh wow those noodles look heavenly delicious 😍😍 also the tempura looks so crispy and delicious. Love your videos Mikey
I am a true noodle lover, watching this video makes me so hungry for noodles and the rest . Looks delicious. Thank you Michael.
This looks incredible!!!!! 😱😱😱
A top comment from 2 years ago love by mikey has 112 like but no reply
Why do I watch these videos at 00:30 in the morning, now I’m craving. The way mike describes food is fantastic.
Your slurping noodle technique is second to none Great video

Dude... im literally salivating and now im starving!!
I salivate everytime I watch Mike eat lol.
@Randy Chambers you on drugs??
“She told me to eat some vegetables” cause she knew you never ate them 😂
Much love.
Omg, the udon looks amazing! Probably the bomb eating in Japan! The omorice looked great too! Once again a wonderful video Mikey! 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Pretty expensive stuff tho
Joyce Lewis thank you 😊
What I like about you? Is your honest and the incredible devotion you have for your public. Blessing for your adventures.
Great video. Looks so great, and you explain everything with such fantastic details. You make me want to go food exploring here in Cologne Germany!
right? I think it makes everyone who watches wanna explore! Its a shame that where I live its absurdly expensive to try new things, but I'll make it someday
Bootshaus represent ✖️✖️✖️
eeey im every year for gamescom in cologne! There are sure some great restaurants there!
I would love to spend three days eating food with you Mikey. I love my food too! Thanks for always sharing your food experiences with us! 👍🏻
3:35
Mike: ''I want my noodles to be as chewy as possible.''
Mike: *starts eating raw noodles*
It's not raw hahahah it's been boiled before
@@mims_ye I think he meant the raw noodles as a joke as raw noodles should be the more chewy to eat than what he was eating in the video. I could be wrong tho
*starts chewing rubber bands because noodles aren’t chewy enough*
@@julix1343 You're not wrong c:
He is saying "wrong" and not "raw". "It so good it's wrong."

'Good noodle weather!' Love it.
So happy you are delving deeper into the cuisine this trip!
Man, I wish I could go around eating crazy amounts of awesome foods with you.... The stuff you do seems so fun....
Once again mikey 👍🏼👍🏼, great way to end a vlog with another beautiful looking dish !
Ok Mikey, it's time for you to start making THE BEST OF 2018 from all of the stuff you tried this year! Compilation video coming we hope??
I agree this has to happen !
With all the videos he has, I doubt it.
That's impossible lol.. Means editing a whole lot of videos & going through them all.
@@SL-sb2mp no it's not. It means remembering what he loved best, going to that vlog and clipping him eating that thing and making a vlog out of it! Chill out people! My god!
Erin Arnold yup! It’s happening
Your food shots this time were extremely delicious and mouthwatering.
Thank you for making me crave for things I will never get :D
Just when you eat your dinner and regret it

That second bowl was basically the Japanese Udon Carbonara. Yummmmm x
Love all this mans videos. So informative and well explained about wherever he eats at. Thanks.
Well it's almost 3 in the morning and I find myself watching this in the kitchen 😅
OMG, that cold udon noodle from the first place you went to is so incredibly beautiful!!
Watching this video really made me want to visit Tokyo! And it really made me want more to eat Udon at this very moment! 😂
The tastiest one for me is the sanuki udon in kagawa. It’s the best! I don’t even like udon at first and i preferred ramen over it but once i’ve tasted the one in kagawa, i have a change of heart, mind and taste.
..Oh it just clicked. The hot bowl with cheese and tempura bacon is Udon Carbonara.
Love watching your vids when settling in for the night. Best food vlogger :)
My brother from another mother always makes my day no matter what 🤙

ITS 11PM AT NIGHT WITH NO FOOD AT MY PLACE. why i hitting this video so fast... The fact that udon its my favorite noodle make it worst
Try 4 am :C
I used to like udon more than ramen but now they have switched around
Wow, can't imagine living in a place with internet but no food around. I always make sure I have something in the fridge or in the pantry
Yaaaayyy! another udon adventure! Will be rewatching this for daysssss again for sure.
I watched Mikey Chen so long last night I almost slept during my exams
Hope it went ok!

I guess I am entertained too easily but I laughed way too hard every time he slurped up one of those huge noodles 😂

And you said "maybe you should be filming it," my heart sank because you also said you were leaving soon. But you went back! We got to see the omurice! Awesome!
I love seeing Mike get increasingly sleepy throughout the video because he gets sleepy as he gets full hahaha
You and Adam Richmond are easily the best food reviewers I've ever seen.
You should go to kichi kichi next time to eat the omurice there
I just have to say that I really love watching your videos. The food looks so amazing. Of course I will never be able to afford any of the trips you take but at least I can see all the amazing different foods. So jealous. Great videos. Thanks for sharing.
