True but I wish he would go to other places than mostly Asia. I would love to see more videos on South American and Central American culture and foods! I would also like if he would go to the Middle East because those regions have lots to offer aswell!
No. Lots of Korean restaurants around. They could give it away free there and it still costs way too much. Airfare, hotels, transportation. No restaurant in the USA is going to cost more
im actually wondering more on where does his earning come from, i don't want to intrude his personal life, it's just that he spend sooo much for everything
As a connoisseur of UA-cam foodie videos (as well as those on network TV), I find that you are the most realistic. You do not exaggerate or over exaggerate your facial expressions, sounds, or other expressions like so many others that come off as fake! Thank you for your honest in-depth commentaries. Whether your take on the food is "yum or bum", you always say what you think. Because of your truthfulness about what you eat, as well as about the places where you eat, I feel completely safe following in your footsteps to eat/dine where you've liked and graded the food/places positively. In preperation for my own gourmet travels, I look forward to viewing more of your expert food testimonials from all over the globe! Yes, You are greatly appreciated!!!
Still wrong pronunciation. That's why Korean is hard to learn. 떡 (dduk) ㄷ is d, ㅓ is uh, ㄱ is g or k (Since it is at the end of the character, we would use K) Korean is harder than Mandarin. I noticed Mandarin you follow SVO. Korean doesn't follow SVO or anything like that. It's really unique.
@@StewieGriffin that's subjective (Korean being harder than Mandarin) personally I have attempted to learn both before settling on Japanese but I find Mandarin pronunciation *much* harder than Korean, but the grammar is easier.
watching mike chen eat makes me wonder how much space he got in his stomach and you just make every food look absolutely appetizing. it's hard to refrain myself even more from korean food right now especially when I'm broke and working near koreantown. so hungry right now!!!!
Kamiko Shigyo i watched a 7eleven Video and i was shocked that he finished a rice meal and then proceeds to eat the rest of his convenience store food “haul” 😅 i thought he doesn’t finish some of the meals he eats haha
Mikey another outstanding video and always the highest quality , your description and love for food is amazing ...I ❤️ Korean food thanks for sharing ...xx😘🤗
hello! i've been watching your videos for so long, really love them and they're fantastic for research about asian street food (which is something that comes up in my creative writing occasionally). thank you so much for all your hard work!
My boyfriend can't watch your videos because he gets violently hungry, but anytime I say "You know what would make this better?" he immediately says "ICE CREAM!" lolol
I’m 1/2 Korean and haven’t been there in years! But I’m taking my husband there next year. He’s Dutch and never been to an Asian country. He’s very excited! 😁☺️
@@jymnds Again, you know my life? For all you know I could be Korean.닥쳐, 너는 날 모르잖아. For all you know, I could live in Korea. You have no place to call me a koreaboo whenever I commented about the way he said tteokbokki and whenever you don't even know my real name.
I LOVE BUSAN! When I was there, I coasted the beach. At night, they set up umbrella tables along the coastline where you can pay 30,000 WON for a calamari meal and all you can drink beers. (Not sure how much it may be now and if they still do that though. I was there in 2007.) Awesome city to visit! I plan to go again someday.
Congrats on being a YT trending video. I remember way back when your videos were about Queens and I kept saying - hey, this guy should really have a food channel! 😆👍👍👍👏👏👏
Always binge watch mikey eat when I can’t be bothered and feel stuffed after watching him stuff himself 😂 that being said now I gotta get myself to my local Korean restaurant.
Honeysuckle Blossom exactly it's like after you're done bitching about how much you want a food and then after it comes, you're like "oh, it's here i guess".
2:30 I ate tteokbokki in Busan when I was there in 1978. Difference was, then they handed you a pair of chopsticks and everyone stood around the cart and ate out of the big wok! When you were done, you put your chopsticks back into the glass of water holding all the chopsticks! The woman working the stand watched everyone eat and charged you according to how much you ate. :)
Been there, done that. Was there 1980 and back then they had a curfew at midnight. Things really started waning down around 10, including the drinking establishments. Got me a bed and curled up for the night. One thing I distinctly remember was the minkey blanket that kept me warm, warm, warm. I now have three of them!!
Nyxofdead YT you could easily eat all vegan in Korea as majority of our side dishes are veggies and our noodles are made without eggs. The Buddhist temples offer some of the most amazing all vegan meals.
Corn dogs in Korea aren't really corn dogs because they're not made with cornmeal. Just plain flour. So it does not have that gritty texture, but soft, pancake-like texture.
Aw, man! I was in the usaf for 6 years. Never made it to as Korea. Met a lot of folks who did, though. Love the food, love the culture! Hopefully someday the entire peninsula is United in peace and harmony! Loved the video! I have a local Korean joint that I love so well; however, I feel that it is only the tip of the iceberg. Cheers, everyone! Much live from Ohio!
I love Korean, Indian and Chinese(mostly American styled Chinese food) and Japanese food. When it is done right it it is amazing. I love a good sushi roll, pork bulgogi, lamb vindaloo, general chicken and chicken tikka masala.
The hotteuk you tried is called 씨앗호떡 (seed hotteuk) which has filling of roasted 7 different seeds. This came during the 6.25 (Korean War) when the people fled to Busan decided to put seeds inside of hotteuk. So, the seed hotteuk is very different from traditional ones (filled with sugar and fluffy dough)~ also, same, I LOVE that tteokbokki place - I, also, had to return the next day because it closed early, haha.
Carb+sugar+fat are the worst!! That's why I watched this like 10 times while crying and drooling..I'm on keto diet right now. They say when you stop eating carb/sugar for a while, you won't crave for them anymore. Well, not the case for me...
Avakin Life Daily Im on keto & OMAD . . . They have positive impacts on my physical condition but do not promote mental heath... :( I crave for carbs..Don't they say of you stop eating carb you will not crave for them anymore?? Everything gets worse when psm kicks in...
Went to see my nutritionist for my diabetes and I had been doing keto but she said that you cant cut out carbs completely. Its better to count your carb intake and incorporate exercise. You should do more veg and protein but only have a fist size of carbs as a base. I was like hmmmm as an Asian its hard to cut rice and noodles, My nutritionist is Chinese. She felt my pain
I love it how even when u don’t have scallions u still mention them in the video like u do in every video I watch of yours!! Lol. U must really love scallions. 👍🏻👍🏻
This guy literally finds the best food that the world offers
True but I wish he would go to other places than mostly Asia. I would love to see more videos on South American and Central American culture and foods! I would also like if he would go to the Middle East because those regions have lots to offer aswell!
He should go to Oaxaca Mexico like Trevor James did (not right now). I loved his series there.
Along with pig innards that 'smell like something died and fell in there'. *gag reflex*
Cringed on how every one is saying he should go to just southern America lol. No not "just" there. But Asia is a huge area let him finish lol
i went to one of the restaurants he introduced in his video.. i was sorely disappointed to say the least. dont believe everything
Why are you not on Food Network! You’re 100 times better than what they have right now.
Because they're not really about food anymore, and he won't get as much creative flexibility if he goes to a big corporate network.
The food network is terrible. Why would he?
Did u take a *TRAIN* *TO* *BUSAN*
Sup daddy
Hey random are you fully Chinese or half white half Chinese ?
Are you still living in Germany
Play for honor again

If Mike ever becomes a Zombie, we are screwed. Dude could eat the whole population of Earth and still be hungry

That auntie was NOT having it with you. Hahaha!!! So darn funny
That auntie would hate me cause i can't eat my foods in two bites then walk away 😂 Literally noone else was there why can't he just sit there 🤷
I think it's because he's filming.... Korean people don't seem to like being filmed
South Korea on deployment was prolly one of the greatest times of my life. Food was amazing, ppl were amazing 😉
Did you get sent to Suwon AB or the DMZ for exercise?
In the process of enlisting right now. I’m really hoping I get deployed to South Korea so I can pig out on the weekends with my cousins in Korea.
i love how he says "tuh bohkky" 😂❤️

not eating food while watching this is a dangerous activity
IKR?! I'm so hungry :(
I always get something to eat when watching. If i dont i have to pause it 3 mins in and go get some.
I can only watch this channel while I'm actually eating dinner! And I still get hungry! ;D
If that's dangerous, then tell me what am I supposed to do when it's 1 AM and you can't even eat-
Well, wish me luck
Looks so good, South Korea has been on my bucket list for a long time can’t wait to be there someday and try the food
CONGRATS on 2M subscribers Mikey Chen! Well deserved! LOVE your videos. Here's to the next 2M!
I'm going to Korea in a week, and I am salivating watching you eat!! Can't wait!!
How was the trip?!! 😊

Around 15:00 I swear he said "They fill the hotdog full of seeds" and I was so confused.
I gotta approve this guy when it comes to eating. Hottoek and icecream combinations is the best combo in terms of desserts on this planet period.
The tteokboki sauce is a midas sauce every food it touches turns into food gold
Some people like to binge watch Netflix when it’s cold and rainy out....I like to get my blanket and snacks and binge watch Mikey.
Wait, the McDonald's in Korea have WORKING ICE CREAM MACHINES???
yes
mariah lopez it’s a joke, every time you go to McDonald’s and ask for ice cream the machines are always down. Lol
Never broken...
😂😂 I love on Guam. And our ice cream machines at McDonald’s don’t work here either.

Whenever I watch you eat Mike, I always ended up going to the kitchen and either cook a meal for me something to eat or experiment then eat haha
Almost every korean food is red but it looks really delicious
I love Korean, Indian and Chinese(mostly American styled Chinese food) and Japanese food. When it is done right it it is amazing. I love a good sushi roll, pork bulgogi, lamb vindaloo, general chicken and chicken tikka masala.
