I’m telling ya, every country should have an International Month where they just introduce menu items from other countries into their country.
Omg yes!!!
@@youngtokyo3946 I know, right? I wanna try that kimchi quesadilla. 😋
McDonald had something like that. the menu was a bit questionable; for example, Australia was cheese fries(poutines), Canada was ice cream.
@@CharBar07 @Joe Ees maybe if the restaurant chain wasn’t McDonald’s.
this is an excellent idea. we'd be all over it!
i was about to sleep but then had the urge to open yt and here's Mikey making me jealous of him and his relationship with foods.......
God Bless *Mikey Chen* 🙏🇰🇷
God Bless *President Trump* 🙏🇺🇲
_Happy New Year 🎉_
Same!
Bruh same
Had me in the first half
us every time he uploads. he has a special bond with food!
Why does food from American fast food chains look so much better in other countries while those same chains in America are serving us crap in comparison? Do we have no standards whatsoever in this country?
Because in America fast food is primarily for poor people. In other countries the price is more towards middle class people
@@yufanchen6072 I agree. I think it also has to do with competition. When I visited Korea and all around Asia, you can get high quality food for a cheap price. If American fast food chains served food like the way it is in America, they would lose business quickly.
Edit: The FDA standards are way different than what they allow in other parts of the world. Others countries do not allow artificial color, flavoring or preservatives, real cane sugar, etc. So food quantity and taste is different.
The fast food in Korea honestly tasted the same to me, minus of course the specialty items.
You answered your own question.
Christa is like the best guest. She's my favorite.
Same! She can match against Mike in an eating contest, like almost. Plus her taste!
Very deep indo accent
Love her, she's so chill and lovely
Such a sweet girl 😌
It was so adorable when she started laughing after telling Mikey she liked Panda Express in the US
When Mike said that he was gonna do something to make the shrimp taco at Taco Bell taste better, I honestly thought, "He's got some hot oil in his pocket". 😂
Worked at taco bell, can confirm meat comes in bags! They heat it up with like hot tubs, for bags of meat and cheese.
Fun fact, that’s sous vide cooking, a “high class” French style 🤣
@@dylan-nguyen pretty sure they cook it in large 100+ gallon vats in a factory and only reheat from bag. Sous vide is for temp, and then usually gets seared on order
Gross!
I did, too. Clamp the bag, submerge in hot water for about four or five minutes, pull out, cut open, dump in metal container.
The rethermalizer
All I can say is that Krista is a great restaurant partner who's open to going to multiple places , who's great company, and who's okay being on camera and sharing her feedback. She'll be missed. 😢
Where is she?
I laughed harder than I should have at the "I'm going to take you to a good place today" ... "Have you been to panda express?"
"Hey look, this one is better than you, and it didn't have to get naked".
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOLOL yeah they was a good one
Good joke and funny conversation and goood comeback for b****es and their sons
Mikeys eating a pork an kimchi quesadilla. And I’m sitting here just eating the regular chicken and cheese. With little to no chicken or cheese🤨😩
Ik right..that pork didn't look dry either..Sometimes you get a slice or two with no chicken and its one of the pricier items..lol
When mikey takes more than one bite before a comment I know that the food isn’t mind blowing 😅
YOU ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE UA-camR KEEP IT UP MIKEY!
Idk. Mine too 👍
Do you like ninjas?

@@leolldankology whattt
@@elizabeth5513 do you like chupacabras?
I saw the red bag pack and said it's Krista! she's so adorable, love her expression when Mike said Las Vegas chicken. lol. Gonna miss her.
I missed it, where is she going?
Are they together? I think I missed that part
Mikey roasting restaurants might be my favorite thing ever.😂 “the meh-est of meh.”
Kimchi and tacos, why isn't that fusion available everywhere?! Tasty!
Korean fast food >>> American fast food all day
More like American brand Asian fast food greater then American fast food. But asian fast foods are still better In general
Any other countries fast food > American fast food
totally agree!
Not so fast. US have Shake Shack and InNOut burger as a saving grace! Thank God for them.
@@Xentradi97 this is itself can be it’s own debate 😂 In n out fersure but shake shack here in LA is saddd. I’m sure Mikey agrees In n Out > shake shack! Hahaha
12:57
Mikey: "My buddy Steven Lim"
Me: Worth It? 😯
Yaaaaa another one!! 💪🏽 keep them coming brother!! Glad to see your still doing great and staying safe 😊
Considering I live about 10 minutes drive from Mexico, I'm giving Vato's mad credit for (at least appearing to) provide an authentic, quality taco experience. Heck, how could OTB exist anywhere near, let alone Taco Smell. All the best, stay healthy.
The wrong thing is you are looking for Taco bell or otb for a Mexican experience when really you should be looking for 2AM sobering bastardized Tex-Mex and Tex-Mex experiences respectively
@@vietster1141991 100% accurate... Preferably delivered!
Vatos is overpriced and not even close to authentic. I've been there and it's pretty bad. The looks are definitely misleading.
@@nofx84 Voice of experience it sounds like. Can't imagine it would be cheap given the alternatives. Glad I am where I am!
Looked pretty good for Asian Mexican food, only complaint is the tortillas looked undercooked 🥴
On time ❤️
Just watching you makes forget that I'm awake at 3 am, because I'm hungry.
I fell full now 😅😂😂
OMG "this is better than you and it didn't even have to get naked." 😂 You just killed me bahaha.
I just finished dinner and watching Mikey eat is making me hungry. Korean fast food is just on another level. Everything looks so appetizing.
Thank you for all you do! Your content is more important than you know. Happy new year!!
Hi Mike,
Loved your food videos. Make my day everytime i watch them.
Me, eating US Taco Bell: 👁️👄👁️
Fun fact in my 13 years of life I’ve never had Taco Bell
Me, not even having Taco Bell in Germany :😖
Then you'll have the shits! Taco Bell is the LAUGHING stock of fast food , and this guy thinks its like eating Steak 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️💩💩💩💩😂💩
Dang that quesadilla destroys the US quesadilla!! Also, why no pork options at Taco Bell in America 🤔
We don't even have real beef options! Lol
Cause Asia is better :p
😅 good point
Someday...
I LOVE your channel Mikey! Keep up the good work🤟
Love the videos! Thank you for all you do!
my mouth is literally watering watching this
Same
Me about to fall asleep, sees Mikey uploaded a new video, me: I can delay sleep for another 18ish minutes 😁
Happy New Year! You have an amazing one.
I can never finish watching your videos,without feeling-1=massively starving 2= inspired .
Outstanding food tour again,as always mikey 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Vatos Tacos!!!! One of my favorite places in South Korea. Definitely go there if ya'll never had the chance! So surreal to see you visit places that I go to on a day to day basis when I studied there in 2016!
At 9:10 the song that was playing was perfect for that moment. At 9:19 when the song said "open up my eyes" and you had a vocal orgasm talking about how the meat was fatty/ tender saying you didnt know how the bell was still in in business, was the perfect timing for that song and your words. I don't think you realized how in rhythm and on point you were with the food Gods and the universe. 🤣 You have to listen to that song "naked" (Lol) to appreciate the timing.
Happy New Year Mr. Chen ty you for you show have learned a lot
Your videos always make my day
Thank you for posting☺️
Early again. Always enjoying the movies. Ive finally started eating alot more
I love your honesty with reviews, years ago I watched you tell me/us how to create a hot pot. Game changer for me, addicted my friend Janet, got her boba tea as well. Going to miss your Korea series. Looking forward to your future posts.
I love the videos showing you eating korean food. Those are my favorite.
I love listening to the blaring Christmas music in the background while Mike is eating huge quesadillas 😂
I got faked by that "soooo amazingly, meh" moment.
does he have someone write his food puns the taco tinder thing was gold!!!
YOU ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE UA-camR KEEP IT UP MIKEY!.
ORIGNAL Bidnbap & korean street food wus my the best so far
Love the videos! Hope you are staying safe :)
And yea Taco Bell still has the huge bags of “beef” 😂 little cousin works there and confirms 😂
White Winter Hymnal playing at the On The Border brought back some memories!!
I flippen love that song
Just bought one of your little dumplings as a birthday pressie to myself to cheer me up as we go back into lockdown in England and it’s my birthday in 2 days. All the best mikey stay safe out there love your videos they are so culturally inspiring makes me want to visit South Korea when we can travel again xxx
im sitting here watching you eat while im starving😭 btw been watching you along time love you man
Mikey's relationship with food is better than mines with my father...
Same.
Same .....
LOVE YA MIKE! Looks like my trip to Korea & Japan will be cancelled for March :(
Glad you made it safely back to NYC. Hope you are happy to be back!
Hi Mikey! I love your videos and when I watch them I always want noodles.
Now I can’t eat my lunch without watching some Mikey devouring all the best food in the world
Here in Germany you have to pay at all the fast food restaurants for the sauce as well, for extra sauce it’s 0,30 € LOL
I think it’s more about reducing waste. If you pay for sauce you actually use it. Most sauce packets in us go straight to trash without a second thought.
@@thomasnoe2714 true
Great video Mikey been watching since your first videos! Saludos desde Mexico🔥🔥🤟
Mikey Chen’s videos are kinda comforting. Of course the food plays a big role in it, but the energy he has is so positive. Thank you Mikey Chen for being a positive person and providing some awesome food insight!!! 😄
I’ve noticed everytime mike eats then looks confused it ends up being a compliment to the food🤣 *confused face* “THIS....IS.....GREATTT”
Ooooh Pentatonix playing in the background!
Enjoyed your video Mikey. Korea looks like a fun place and the food must be great. Love Korean BBQ !
great song choice mikey 👏🏻
also, why do I torture myself watching your vids especially when im hungryyyyy 😭😭
The Taco Bell meat gets crapped on in America. It isn’t bad meat, it’s just a percentage of soy (I believe 18% soy, which is one of the things that give it such a fine ground texture). There is nothing wrong or bad about it. I worked there years ago. I worked at Rally’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut all many years ago (I was never unemployed I just jumped from job to job). Taco Bell was the place with the freshest ingredients. The only questionable place I worked at was Pizza Hut. It wasn’t dirty or nasty, or I wouldn’t have continued working there. It was just the place with the poorest quality.
@Bob Stork I don’t know if by “the tubes” you mean UA-cam, but please don’t use that as facts and research. You’re ill informed and incorrect 🤷🏼♀️ It wouldn’t be sold if it wasn’t for human consumption. A lot of dog food is human grade. Your comment makes no sense.
Maybe you’re just trolling, and I’m wasting my time.
@@JennRighter lol processed meats are shitty and yuck no matter what so stop
THIS! idk why so many people say fast food in Korea tastes so much better than in USA... honestly to me they all tasted pretty much the same, maybe just sweeter if anything since Koreans love to make foreign foods sweet (which I prefer savory). The bag of "meat" he was talking about in the video I think was the beans.
@@Camillelele69 it was the beans, and thank you. Their beans are dehydrated and reconstituted so they stay fresh longer and can be transported in larger quantities. People getting all mad about freakin Taco Bell meat 🤷🏼♀️ some people just want to argue. Thanks for being reasonable.
Processed meat is disgusting. When I visited the States, I loved the country but certainly not the food.
The food in Korea on the other hand is spectacular. Idk why you're so mad, lol.
“Have you had Bugles? They look like tornadoes...like twisters”.
Mike, they look like a Bugle...hence the name 😉
Yayyy another video :)) I love them all.
Just made myself some tacos and opened UA-cam to find something to watch while I ate. Then you posted Taco Bell!!!!! Love you Mikey!!
Taco Bell is our absolute favorite (especially when we're drunk)
Would love to join you for some Korean Taco Bell one day, Mikey! 🔥
to be fair, half of the taco bell experience is being drunk
Half id say 90% more then likely 😂
Korean taco bell sounds so so so good
“Haven’t I been working out today?” LOL.
You made my night! Thank you! 🤗
You are so funny. U love your food and also you are a food critic. Good job in what u do.
Working in a Taco Bell in my teens, I can say the beef was in a rectangular slab that was cooked all together with the spices. That is what I remember anyway.
Watched all your 26 Korean videos at one seating without eating anything. I win.
Love you Mikey! Your videos have made quarantine bearable and always brighten up my mood.
If you ever come to India again then would love you to join you on one of your food adventures. Won't be able to keep up with you but still😂😂
WOW! Just what I needed!
“This shrimp taco went to Gangnam and had some work done”!! 😂😂😂 You have to really understand the reference to get how funny this joke is!
Plastic surgery and high end shopping capital of Korea
I scrolled for this comment, but had already posted a response myself. Glad to see someone else was paying attention. Shrimp taco Gangnam style!
6:14 "hey look this thing is better than you ....aandd it didnt even have to get naked" XD XD XD XD
I love your Korean videos, I always feel hungry 🤤 when I watch you eat, I put on 10lbs just watching you🤣, epic content, stay safe .🥰🎉
Happy 2021 Mikey!!!
Similar to The Cheesecake Factory, On The Border is known for it's large serving portion
Yeah,foodie and competitive eater places like that
Mikey: I know its called the naked chicken taco, but there is really nothing sexy about this.
I admit, that made me laugh more than I thought it would.
I love how he's eating his tacos and all I can here in the background is Tamia and Eric Benet at 8:59, epic!
Korean Taco Bell: We use better ingredients in our food, but you have to pay for extra sauce.
American Taco Bell: The ingredients are average, but we'll give you a month supply of sauce packets for your order.
11:41 totes random, but.....when they're at On the Border, the background music.....cover of "White Winter Hymnal" by Pentatonix?
I've been waiting for this 😋
Yet another reason to like Mikey Chen, "For the price point you know ... they would include flavor". Love it I will never get tired of the authentic Mikey Chen.
Started my new years resolution like most people every year and am actually at a good start. Exercised, ate healthily and snacked healthily... But man.... your videos make me weak Mikey T_T
Kimchee pairs well with almost anything- especially pork.
True is like salads of the koreans
@@izabelanemeth9382 Better than salad because you can cook with it.
@@krnpowr good point there
I was singing along to the music at that 2nd spot🤣🤣 good food and good music my kind of place...food looked so fresh and authentic
Mikey love your videos, a vid idea is to have like a UA-cam recap of your favorite locations based per country in that year so it makes it easier for us to see the top places you recommended when we can travel again.
First comment I've made on your videos - been a dedicated creeper since 2019 enjoying your content in the dark by myself. Hey, I said I was a creeper- it's covid, let it be lol But listen, I was looking up the covid numbers in South Korea today and they went up the last few days. - please stay safe we eff'n love you Mikey Chen! *Creeper out
This deserves more attention
I'm pretty sure he's back in america, looks like it from his instagram stories anyways! But im not sure if that's any better.. it seems like he lives pretty far from the big cities tho
covid is a 99.7% survival rate and the .3% deaths are 92% of people over the age of 70, he'll be find the media made everyone think its the new bubonic plague lmao
@Ren Alloy are you the first on youtube your a legend just by looking at your picture/videos your very special it’s like your Destined to Kindle modern day as we know it now. please I beg of you to continue your channel even if it was behind a camera I really adore you I feel like your the person who started it all and for a Humble Suggestion Series that goes by the beginning of the first videotarin 😊❤️😎🥰👍💕
@@sifft177 creeper game is better than mine - respect
Anyone remember that the Naked chicken taco was in the USA before
It wasn't that great here either. Don't know how one could mess up chicken but Taco Bell figured it out.
@@LadyRaine naked means no sauce or spice: the reverse of a visual tease, a taste turn-off.
Hi Mike! I hope u had a good birthday, on a plane! Again! Lol I really hope the food Gods provide awesome eats everytime!!
it's 4am for me just now, can never beat am early morning Mikey video ✨
Wow, I feel like we need some of those upgrades (from Taco Bell) out here in the States...☺.
It’s the workers too, American fast food workers are not the same caliber individuals
@@Kimmie0323 Well, I can say amen to THAT!
And it wasn't always like that.
Though sadly, it is now...😔.
Just the same, it's always hard for me to turn down some Taco Bell...even out HERE in the States...☺😊😉.
A couple of minutes after I finished my Taco Bell meal, I started to pass a kidney stone. They're not correlated, but it traumatized me so much that I can't even eat at Taco Bell anymore.
Great video 👍 and hello from Arizona ☀️😎🌵
Just as I was about to go sleep🤦🏽♂️,
Not complaining though I swear I’m always up late watching mikey
Mikey's face when she said panda express was very good in America 😂😂😂😂 well worth the wait
So we are adding to the list American founded companies where the product is better and more varied outside the US. Did the have Baja Blast at TB?
I'm missing your content need it atleaat every other day hope your doing great 👍
Mikeys videos really awaken my appettite. Even tho, I just ate three jumbo dumplings. 😂
I celebrated my birthday at Itaewon Vatos in 2019
