    Thank you from the Sushi By Bou Chicago Family for dining with us - truly a pleasure ❤!!
    Sincerely from all of us, myself and of course Chef Navakun, Chef Roman, and Brandon.

    Love how Mikey casually moves away the gold like it’s veggies and focuses only on the meat (that really matters!!)

  • @Irisslovess
    @Irisslovess 2 роки тому +64

    This just reminds me of how Mike didn't used to eat Sushi or raw fish & now he's eating better sushi than I ever will :')

  • @ZeroOchan

    I have been fan of this channel for ages and I have to say one of my favourite things to see was how Mikey started to like sushi! I remember him avoiding anything raw and not particularly liking sushi because of this, but look at him now! Enjoying sushi! How far he has come 😂

  • @Lonezewolflonewolf
    @Lonezewolflonewolf 2 роки тому +14

    I like how he moved the gold out of the way and went straight to the food.

    A couple of other solid Japanese spots in the greater Chicago area:
    Kurumaya in Arlington Heights has the best katsu curry.
    Ramen House Shinchan in Palatine has very solid ramen and their tebasaki (chicken wings) are unbelievably good.

    Mike, I don’t know if you realize how important your videos are to some people, I literally ate my one time today to your video(I’m trying to be better) and I wanted to thank you for posting so regularly and with such a nice energy and good food

      Mike gets me to feel motivated to eat daily by even rewatching some of my favorite videos! Glad I'm not alone! I was at once a day a few months ago, and I swear watching these at 3am are one of the only things that got me to two times a day. Don't be afraid to adopt the strategy of eating as soon as you feel hungry as well, take advantage of the feeling, even if it's an ungodly hour.

    The Ramen 🍜 and the one's you ordered all look incredible delicious. But the Sushi had at that restaurant was put over top. Because each one after another where so beautiful and the taste most bin out of this world.
    I was glad the last piece was eel over rice (my favorite all the time). Your channel is great

    That eel was my favorite, but octopus and flying fish roe are delicious as well. Not a big wasabi fan, but in love with pickled ginger. Prefer sashimi over sushi. Great video.

    Love your videos. I want all that Ramen! But not spicy, my tummy can't handle it anymore. I love Miso soup, had 2 bowls of it Tuesday when we went to the Japanese Steakhouse in our area. I always have to eat something while watching your videos because they make me so hungry! Chicago is definitely now on my eating bucket list.

    You know, I'm really glad to see you eating more sushi and just being more exploring/open to trying foods that are on the rarer side. I remember years back you saying that you weren't into sushi at all due to how its raw, but now? You're loving it! It's really cool to see you try things that you thought were gross or not for you, and end up liking it, or even loving it! Love your videos, but I always watch them when I'm hungry lol, big mistake.
