Cometa Vargas They aren't trying to overthrow the government, no more than any religious group. I'm an Atheist, all religions are fairly equal to me, but none of them want to overthrow the government. They just want to be allowed to exist without being oppressed by the Chinese government
Jordan Myles video about his hometown (xi'an): ua-cam.com/video/Evyp7YeF98g/v-deo.html xi'an was one of older ancient capitals of china. (about 2000 years old.) it's also the starting point of ancient silk road.
I stayed in Xi’an for 6 weeks a few years back and have craved the food so much ever since I left. This video got my mouth watering and brought back so many memories. Thank you! I hope to enjoy Xi’an cuisine again some day
I'm from 西安 as well and I loveeeee ur videos. It reminds me about home every time when I hear you speak mandarin with a bit of the xian dialect. Pepper soup is my favourite food and vinegar complete my life. Got u fam.
Mike, I am so happy you got a taste of home! That is an important thing for people who have moved far from the the place they grew up. And thank you for the education! Watching your videos has taught me a great deal about places and cultures that I am not familiar with.
Great video mike! I like the videos the most where you compliment the food but also offer constructive criticism as it puts all the other foods you've eaten into perspective and allows us,the viewers, to appreciate it more . ♡
Love your channel, Mike. Thanks for this particular video...my friend and I went to Cindy's Noodle Land this past Sunday based on your video recommendations and it was fantastic. I can see why you love biang biang mian. :) Thanks again!
the other day my friend and I stumbled across a Xi'an place in NYC and the food was DELICIOUS. I was on a budget so I only got a tofu soup dish and it was still amazing. my friend got noodles and they were hand pulled and sooo good. it was a little annoying to get to from my apartment but we're planning to go back today!
西安 Xi’an fellow man in London sends regards to you, those look really authentic, my wife and me been watching your programs for several months, just found out you are from Xi’an, well done! mate. My wife said it is amazing that you made an English girl who can’t take chili but being convinced it is such a happy taste, love seeing you enjoying spicy cuisine, not just Chinese, but the whole world diverse food.
I'm at work Starving Didbt have lunch yet And watching you is driving me crazy every time I watch you... Man you describe the flavours and I can almost taste them in my mouth 🤤❤❤❤
I absolutely love your videos! You should be an ambassador for Chinese foods ^^ seeing you eat with such joy but also your critical eye just makes me want to try all of those ^^ keep up the amazing work :D
I'm glad you told us it was not good. The only videos I have seen of you, you say everything is amazing and I didnt know if you just liked anything! Awesome video! Thanks for the honesty
There are def homemade tastes that go back to childhood and you'll remember them forever. For me it's my g-gma's chicken and dumplins. We have the recipe but its written in old school recipe format (2 handfuls of this, pinch of this, mix till it looks right). We've been trying to replicate it for years.
We have similar issues with my grandmother's amazing classic recipes. We even use her post and pans for her recipes. Ingredients are written and measured in "half egg shells and pinches and fist fulls. These recipes were handed down from her grandmother. We've all grown up eating these in our family so we all know how they taste when done right. Somehow she always pulled it off perfectly. My twin brother gets a perfect batch about 50% of the time. Anyway, I'm still losing my mind on these Asian recipes!
Sounds like you both need to do some research, involving make them over and over to find the exact measurements. Lul sound like that is the kind of science experiment that I can get behind.
Anissa Alexander what do u think we do? I make it once a month in the winter. But cultivars are different. Butter isn't homemade. Chicken didn't come from the backyard. It all affects the taste just a little
Andrea Payne Yeah I figured. It was more joking than serious, but that doesn't come across very well. It just sounded like fun tbh, since chances are even the "failures" are yummy. No offense meant.
I moved away from the San Gabriel Valley to another state many years ago. Today I would not move, there is so much good food in the San Gabriel Valley now thanks to the booming Asian population.
That gelatinous starchy soup with the meat balls reminds me of hot and sour soup I can get locally in West Virginia. It's spicy and fermented and thick and slippery. It's soooooo good!
lol why the 'safely'? is there something going on in his hometown or in China at this moment which means that his safety would be compromised if he travelled there?
Great videos Mikey! I especially liked your visit to Shirokiya in the Ala Moana Shopping Center...my favorite stop. Next time you're in town, you gotta try their Kulu Kulu custard filled pastry....onolicious! Thanks for the tours! Aloha!
Aw Mikey! Finally came back to the 626! I hope you can have a meet and greet event the next time you’re in town. My friends and I would love to attend!! Great job on all of your videos...enjoy watching them and share them with other foodies! Come back soon to the 626!
I've been hoping you would make this video for a long time...thank you! I actually stumbled into Cindy's this past weekend and had amazing lamb noodle soup.... i wonder what you would think of Qin West in Downtown LA?... i like their Liang Pi.... More LA/San Gabriel videos please!
I'm not a hundred percent sure on his age tbh, I just remember seeing it in a comment or something that he was born in 1980 but who knows. There's a saying right? like asian don't raisin? Mikey is definitely proving that haha.
Will you ever go back to your home town in china and give us a tour of your favorite places or new places?
Manateer Shallow XD
There are no Chinese Mafia in China. Just Triads.

Cometa Vargas can you tell me the official name of that "group?"
I love hearing Mikey speak Chinese.
Takes me back to my childhood when my Mom worked in a Chinese restaurant.
I’m doing mandarin study lessons and very handy.
I stayed in Xi’an for 6 weeks a few years back and have craved the food so much ever since I left. This video got my mouth watering and brought back so many memories. Thank you! I hope to enjoy Xi’an cuisine again some day
When Mike turns away, closes his eyes, then looks back that's how you know its good lol :P
the Mike version of the Mark Wiens Head Tilt haha
I Love Noodles

Or when he bang the table lol
DeeDee ^U^
Thank u Mike for making me hungry every episode 😭
Zuke TheNuke that and i got no place near me to serve these dishes. Guess its time to marry someone who does lol!
Zuke TheNuke
Jjj
thanks for being hungry in every episode :-)
Once I was a free man. I watched your videos became a chili oil addict. I bought even different chili oil brands. I'll make you responsible for this.
Alexander Haag how the HELL did you get that many subs!?
First sub
+Burnt plays Wow , you are soo cool.
Second most subs in this comment thread yeet
I have been thinking of trying different brands, since you already have, what are your favorites?
I'm from 西安 as well and I loveeeee ur videos. It reminds me about home every time when I hear you speak mandarin with a bit of the xian dialect. Pepper soup is my favourite food and vinegar complete my life. Got u fam.

I was having a bad night but your videos and personality always make me feel better. Thanks Mike!
Mike I ALWAYS love your "foodgasm" reaction!!😂😂😂😂😘😘
I Love Noodles....
fj
Is it me or is Mike eating more veggies lately😏
ImHereTo ObserveTheEnd he's asian what did you expect?
Do u guys know mike?
lol really?
He's trying to watch the blood pressure. That and Chinese cuisine has a ton of veggies in it.
I just saw a ton of carbs
It would be nice if you had the names of the dish on the screen to help us who are not fluent, so we know what to look for or order.
I Love Noodles...
Good idea
R/choosingbeggars
@@rachelc4256 You're aware what a choosing beggar actually is. Correct?
Definitely one thing I miss about LA is the MASSIVE variety of foods you can get.
Excellent insight into Mike's taste preferences. A lot makes more sense now.
Love your channel, Mike. Thanks for this particular video...my friend and I went to Cindy's Noodle Land this past Sunday based on your video recommendations and it was fantastic. I can see why you love biang biang mian. :) Thanks again!
I have been waiting for this! Finally in LA!!!
the other day my friend and I stumbled across a Xi'an place in NYC and the food was DELICIOUS. I was on a budget so I only got a tofu soup dish and it was still amazing. my friend got noodles and they were hand pulled and sooo good. it was a little annoying to get to from my apartment but we're planning to go back today!
😭I'm so happy. I've been waiting a long time for you to finally show us something that's considered halal. Keep up the good work!😁
As someone who will likely never get to travel and enjoy food like this, I am extremely happy just watching your videos.
Mike !!! Welcome to LA! I'm soooo excited to see you here ! I hope we get to meet again :)
I really enjoy when Mike talks about his home! Love this video!
Finally an L.A. video, you can eat your way around the world in 1 amazing city, Los Angeles is a food mecca.
Fun fact: Los Angeles is also the center of debauchery and sodomy
We can always expect honest reviews from Mike!
Keep it up :)
Mike: Oh yeah, baby!
*baby in the background stops crying for a second like "Was he talkin' to me?"*
You open my eyes with delicious Xi'an food Mike!! Gotta visit China again :D
I come from xi’an! Everything sounds every familiar and delicious to me!
西安 Xi’an fellow man in London sends regards to you, those look really authentic, my wife and me been watching your programs for several months, just found out you are from Xi’an, well done! mate.

For someone who loves spicy food this is freakin' heaven 😍
This touches my soul. Remembered flavors of childhood are the best. I’d give anything to have my grandmas fried chicken just one more time.
wow I wish I had your metabolism, if I ate that much in a day i'd be 400 pounds! It all looks amazing and delicious
Story of my life...
he works out..
After eating that much chilly believe me he cannot put on weight. Chilly is making ur metabolism faster and he is eating a lot of chilly..
I'm at work
Starving
Didbt have lunch yet
And watching you is driving me crazy every time I watch you...
Man you describe the flavours and I can almost taste them in my mouth 🤤❤❤❤
I absolutely love your videos! You should be an ambassador for Chinese foods ^^ seeing you eat with such joy but also your critical eye just makes me want to try all of those ^^ keep up the amazing work :D
These are the kinds of dishes I wish I knew how to make at home, it looks so good.
11:49 ""oh yeah......Oh Yeah......OH YEAH BABY!''
meanwhile baby crying in the background lol
Then the baby stops crying
For a while
hi Mike I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. Watching your videos makes me go to sleep hungry.
1:46 who else thought he was gonna say hot oil? I'm shocked 😂😂😂
ThanamasLuv love your thumbnail! Elf for life! 😊

Finally, thanks for coming to LA! You need to come more often for these videos!

New t-shirt: "Happy Bite. Happy Life" 😀

Love your honest reviews, thanks for keeping it real! You da best Mike!
I like how he says a little of chili oil and he puts like A LOT in the soup
This video is currently #16 trending on UA-cam. Mikes a star!!!
胡辣汤看起来很正宗啊 LA竟然有这么好的西安饭 幸福
Zhong Ren 在美国最美味的食物都是来自亚洲 纽约最多亚洲的美食
That gelatinous starchy soup with the meat balls reminds me of hot and sour soup I can get locally in West Virginia. It's spicy and fermented and thick and slippery. It's soooooo good!
Great Vid never seen or heard of these types of food from China thanks for enlightening us with regional Chinese good.
Byang Byang Noodles!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Never had them, but I know they are good cause the art of making them is epic!
I wish we had more authentic restaurants like this in San Diego...
I'm glad you were honest about not liking it. If its not good, it's not good. It happens. Love your videos
" Happy bite , happy life" - Mike Chen
I like how you check to make sure you didn't get any special treatment when recommending food to us :) It's really sweet and thoughtful!
Hey mike, the restaurant next to the last one you reviewed is awesome, you should try it.
What's the name of it?
xi'an or shanxi food probably the most underrated chinese cuisine. definitely my favorite!
Can you cover more restaurants in LA please!!??
Hey Mike, I love when you speak your native language. Thanks for sharing ❤
I am so hungry I want to grab all the food from the screen
Lots of dishes i've never seen before. I think the steamed noodles look especially yummy!
Mike, if you can visit your home town and safely come back to us, i would love to see it. truly i would.
Indira Poitier why would he not come back safe? That's stupid thing to say
I second this
lol why the 'safely'? is there something going on in his hometown or in China at this moment which means that his safety would be compromised if he travelled there?
ertakerta He follows a particular spirituality that is condemned in China.
MsCherade9
Go on..
FoodNetwork needs to give you a show...I could watch you eat Chinese food all day long 😂 love your videos!!
I LOVE THE BEEF PORK THING OMG

I think it's called Rou Jia Muo?
And I eat spicy food like it's no big deal
Great videos Mikey! I especially liked your visit to Shirokiya in the Ala Moana Shopping Center...my favorite stop. Next time you're in town, you gotta try their Kulu Kulu custard filled pastry....onolicious! Thanks for the tours! Aloha!
You make me feel like I've never had good food in my life
By the end of video, I could see food coma setting in his eyes. 😂 What a great foodie. 🍲🍲👀
Relationship goals are burgers and fries
Love that there are halal options! Can't wait to visit China or America one day (which ever comes first) and try this delicious food!
how can you eat so much things at the same time？
Aw Mikey! Finally came back to the 626! I hope you can have a meet and greet event the next time you’re in town. My friends and I would love to attend!! Great job on all of your videos...enjoy watching them and share them with other foodies! Come back soon to the 626!
I thought the baby crying in the background at 11.53 was part of the music selection
Baking Aero I tripped out
What a great tour of Xian food! You dine well! I'm just making beef stroganoff for myself, tonight.
I still don't understand how u eat so much food in 1 day let alone in 1 sitting. 😲
I've been hoping you would make this video for a long time...thank you! I actually stumbled into Cindy's this past weekend and had amazing lamb noodle soup.... i wonder what you would think of Qin West in Downtown LA?... i like their Liang Pi.... More LA/San Gabriel videos please!
"I want more pork in the back of my bun."
Tell me more. XD
The food looks so good that I actually got chills while watching it!😁😌
Hey Mike, do you plan to have a meetup in Los Angeles?
The Apple Reseller yes! A dumpling meet up!! That would be great!
next time :-)
Cindy's Noodle Land is totally a theme park I'd go to anyday!
at what age did you leave china?
He was born in 1980 and left 20 years ago so he was probably in his mid teens like 15-16ish. Don't have a definite answer for you though.
Louise Wheeler thank you :)
If I remember correctly, he was 11.
Jesus, I thought Mike was in his late twenties / very early thirties. Not 37, Man ages well.
I'm not a hundred percent sure on his age tbh, I just remember seeing it in a comment or something that he was born in 1980 but who knows. There's a saying right? like asian don't raisin? Mikey is definitely proving that haha.
OMG mike!!!!! Please eat more in LA! My bf loves Chinese food and he need to try many amazing places 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
When I had my first kiss, there was butterflies, but it wasn’t my hind leg rising up.

I tasted the chewy mummified noodles with u
Those steamed noodles in the second place sound right up my alley.
How can he have all that in 1 day
Mahe Allam he's mostly Chinese but a little bit of the other part of him is whale. Because of this he has 4 stomachs
Matt Stonie would eat all that times 5
Fast metabolism to burn it off. Plus working out to kick his metabolism into overdrive.
i can easily eat all that in a day too lol
I'm pretty sure he doesn't finish all of it
You are right, the second cold noodle is better than the first one, in any see any red colour in the first at all
more San Gabriel please. Go to 99 ranch market
