mike is always so cheerful and kind and u can tell he really loves food and new experiences. it's so heartwarming to watch a creator who really cares about what he does
That fried chicken shop owner was very nice, she wanted her son to have something he enjoyed eating and it led to a business and that’s really wholesome to me. Hopefully she’ll have many more years of success creating fantastic fried chicken!
i am watching you now for over two years and this Vietnamese chicken was some of the best i've ever seen on this channel. This will be on my bucket list for my next US-trip.
Hi Mike, another foodie friend/fan here, I’ve been a huge fan for the better part of a decade on UA-cam now ❤️ thank you for your content. You make me embrace that I LIVE to eat and do not eat to live. I’m in Dallas for the first time and your videos are my true north for food scouting. Trip advisor has NOTHING on your content. Thank you for being a role model and for loving delicious food with all your heart. You will always have my support 🙏🏼
@@seanlee4294 it always busy. When I first went, I made it just in time before the line got long. Plus they knock your order out fast. In and out like 5 minutes or so. But they do close a 2pm and open back at 4pm.
We live right down the street from LA Burger & Bulldog Katsu. We LOVE both of them. We get katsu to go about once a week. They have a curry bento box that is great and around $10. Totally worth it. We haven't tried the Pho place yet but based on the recommendation we'll have to check it out. Wish I would have been able to see Mike during his visit.
I LOVE the bokksu box. At first i only had the tokyo treat box but they tend to send the same treats every month with a little variation. Bokksu does not do that at all, it really feels like traditional japanese snacks, new every month :)
"More outside batter per circumference of per cheezy area". Count on Mike to explain food even in mathematical terms yet still find it soooo enticing to eat. Lockdown in our country is bad but I live vicariously through your videos and it makes me so happy. Keep it up!
Pro Tip, instead of using flour for the fried chicken batter, try to use corn flour or rice flour as the base. Put some curry powder, onion and garlic powder and basic seasoning. BOOM!
Dallas was never a place on my bucket list but all that food looked fire 👀 Thank you for always making great videos and inspiring me to keep creating 🤍
Did the crew of Ricky's recognize you when you walked in, or something?! Mike's Chicken sounds like my kinda chicken place that I'll see about ordering from ASAP. That ending had me laughing out loud, too!
You went to our absolute favorite chicken places, especially Rickys. You gotta get the birds nest next time you go! It is on another level. Drooling just thinking about it.
Thank you, Mikey, for adding the caption. I truly appreciate you! Wishing you all the best, everything happy, smiles of joy, good health, and success on your phenomenal videos! You are a blessing and inspiration to the people around you! Stay Safe! Safe Travel!
For anybody else that wants a second opinion on Mike’s chicken trust me it is absolutely worth it it’s a great price and insanely good food. They’re even in the chicken sandwich game now like everyone else and it’s killer
My little boy loves your video too. He loves cheeeeesssee. So I told him, run hard and eat harder 😉 By the way, love that Tofu Fighting T-Shirt 💜 Thanks Mikey.
Mikes chicken is owned by the same family that owns the laundromat next door. They are a favorite of the African American community in Dallas. My only gripe is the wait time, around 30 min, so order ahead!
Hey Mike I love those songs you're pairing up with your videos that's nice thank you for doing such a great job I'm living vicariously through you and congratulations on your marriage
Mikey, I LOVE the way you describe the food and how it tastes to you! You make it sound SO delicious. You make a person really WANT it! And your metaphors are fantastic. I obviously truly enjoy your channel.😊😋
Dude yes! Mikes Chicken is in my neighborhood and I always thought it was going to be overhyped and man I was wrong! Also, glad to see people hyping up Nurungji Chicken. They definitely need more love! ❤️ You should hit up Uncle Zhou’s (Yes, the one from NYC is now in Plano) and Limon’s Veracruz Restaurant in Oak Cliff.
wow the paul harvey shout out at the end. I can remember going to work with my dad years ago and every day at a certain time we stopped what we was doing to listen to paul harvey. As a kid i thought my dad was the only one listening to him lol. Brings back alot of memories.
I wonder how many people wait for the moment an upload happens, see if they live near the places Mikey visits before immediately going to said places lol
Your brilliant videos helped get the world through the pandemic, for that you deserve every bit of happiness and success in your life. Keep up the phenomenal work.
Hi Miiike!!! Your one of my idols!!! I want to do what you do one day!! I am studying English Creative writing degree so I can work to write in a magazine and start making videos and a blog. Love from South Africa!!!💜💜💜
I'm Filipino... and I like Viet food way more, lol. They are such super amazing cooks/chefs!! (I also like Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean food more, lol)
Yess pho tay do needed this popularity, its the best place for bun bo hue! Thank you for also going to bulldog katsu, ive been wanting to go there so many times! Now i can for sure confirm to definitely go by there.
Okay Mike, thank you. I've been craving the vietnamese fried chicken after watching this episode even though I've never had it. Lol soooo... going to go hit up this place today. Hopefully I get to experience what you did @ Mike's fried chicken
Every time I watch these videos I have to wipe down my keyboard because of all the drool. In this video, that Nashville hot chicken sandwich made me drool.
I got the Seasons box as my first box from Bokksu, loved every bit of it! Mine had the white strawberry -- white chocolate -- very different very delicious.
Anyone remember the simpsons episode where homer tells Bart to “bacon up that sausage boy!” Someday mikes gonna tell his kid “Mayo up that cheese son!”
Mikes Chicken and LA burger were my hidden gems lol. I've been hoping for a Mike's chicken expansion, they would DOMINATE the fried chicken scene
@Data Fix this is the reason in n out refuses to expand and it pains me but i completely understand 😭 just wish i could try it
Never had this but I’m going, but LA burger is one of my favs.
Really enjoyed the reception when Mikey walked into Ricky's!
Been watching for years, and still the best food content creator on UA-cam. Your enthusiasm and genuineness keep me watching.
Mikey looks younger and happier these days, hope that stays forever. He is such a joy, deserves all the happiness and health
Love tends to have that effect on people😌
well sadly we cant stay young forever
Yeah, he looks like he's in his mid 40s now, instead of late 40s👍
He does say this was some time ago, probably few months ago before the gf announcement in Vegas
@@potusthepotatooftheuniteds1034 I didnt know he was in his 40s I thought he was in his early-mid 30s
Mikey got me through the beginning of the pandemic, and he's still getting me through now.✌🏻✌🏻
stay safe and hungry!
People in Africa: 😐😐
@@unickhan4408 ???????
@@kuhnhan he forgot to @Strictly Dumpling but he said stay hungry, which of course people in africa are forced to do but he didnt mean it like that.
Better hope Mike keeps making these videos because the Masters are never going to let this plandemic end. Look at what's happening in Australia now.
He literally hit all of our favorite fried chicken places in Dallas in one episode. Glad he visited them.
I love how Mike always supports small businesses 🥺👍🏻
chino businesses
^ Cause they know what's up

Those Ricky guys was such a wholesome moment
I am absolutely amazed at the amount of food you can consume anddddd wearing a white shirt and not one oppes on it! Love your vlogs! Always a delight!
Sometimes i really think he has sets of 4 of the same shirt to make us think it is the same day😀
The best part of waking up on this Saturday morning is having a Mikey Chen video in my subscription box ❤️
I could never have pulled off those burgers with chili in that white shirt - props to you Mike
Ricky's is the bomb spot. Especially since its around the corner from my job. So every Thursday and Friday I go there for lunch.
My only concern is that it’ll get even busier and the lines will wrap around the building now that it has Mikeys stamp of approval!
@@seanlee4294 it always busy. When I first went, I made it just in time before the line got long. Plus they knock your order out fast. In and out like 5 minutes or so. But they do close a 2pm and open back at 4pm.
@@seanlee4294 It was like that the first 6-8 months they opened. It was insane
OMG, that clay-pot had my mouth watering. The chicken, crispy rice, corn and cheese is divine.
Bruhh both Mike’s & Ricky’s have been me and my friends go to spots and it’s so cool to see you went!! We’re so happy you liked them!!
every time a Mikey video comes out, I watch the intro then have to pause to make a snack! looks so amazing every time

Sat down to eat Breakfast/Lunch and this pops up. The Food Gods have delivered once more.
I wish there was a word for breakfast/lunch!
@@martinmller3895 Don't be an ass. Brunch is completely different now. I simply meant the time.
@@R3dH4z3 Just making a joke, calm your tits, mate.
Man I been in Dallas my entire life and you have open my eyes to so many new places to try in the time you have been here bro. Much love!!
I shed literal tears at the chicken sandwich! The mozzarella sticks and fries too were just amazing. I wanna eat it but I live in NY! 😭
I LOVE the bokksu box. At first i only had the tokyo treat box but they tend to send the same treats every month with a little variation. Bokksu does not do that at all, it really feels like traditional japanese snacks, new every month :)
Are you talking about the last place he went to? If so, is this business still open? I cant find it anywhere on my maps
Besides the food, the genuine reactions of the people does it for me. Awesome video... 👌Especially 22:03 🤣
Mike: If I don't eat again today, I'm good."
Next scene: Let's order more chicken!!!
Mikey living life on the edge wearing an all white shirt when he goes out to eat XD
Why was he wearing a down jacket in the Houston heat?
@@DJ-nn6vg maybe he is used to it but idk
@@idkwhatiamdoing7715 trust me, for some reason all of us Asians are decked out in jackets, sweaters, and coats even when it ain't that cold lol.

I love all of Mike's videos he knows how to. Describe food so well I love your videos. Man keep up the good work
I live in Carrollton and my bf and I love Mike's Chicken and LA Burger :) Two of our faves! So happy Mike is featuring more Dallas spots :)
Rickys hot chicken is the best I go at least once a month. Awesome that you put it in one of your videos.

Ahhh, can’t wait to try these places. Here I come Mike’s and Ricky!
Did the crew of Ricky's recognize you when you walked in, or something?! Mike's Chicken sounds like my kinda chicken place that I'll see about ordering from ASAP. That ending had me laughing out loud, too!
I prefer Ricky’s
8am on a Saturday in California and what do I do? Click on Mikey Chen’s video as soon as it comes up! Let’s go!
You went to our absolute favorite chicken places, especially Rickys. You gotta get the birds nest next time you go! It is on another level. Drooling just thinking about it.
Keep these videos from Texas coming especially from Houston. My in-laws are down there and I get to go and try these places when I go visit.
@@ME-hh9fb Houston is huge. My in-laws live near The Energy Corridor. Do you know anything good around that area?
Thank you, Mikey, for adding the caption. I truly appreciate you! Wishing you all the best, everything happy, smiles of joy, good health, and success on your phenomenal videos! You are a blessing and inspiration to the people around you! Stay Safe! Safe Travel!
I love love your videos! Please never stop! I get so excited when your trying all new places and exploring!!
OMG Ricky's Chicken looks scrumptious 🤤🤤🤤
Mikey! I love that you now talk to Christine as well as us ❤ Big love to you guys and thank you for the amazing video as always xx
It was "Danger Close" for that poor white shirt! Every time he took a bite I was like, "No..No..No..YES, still clean!!"
VegettoQ61 I was just about to say the same thing 🤣 You beat me to it Lol 🤣😂
For anybody else that wants a second opinion on Mike’s chicken trust me it is absolutely worth it it’s a great price and insanely good food. They’re even in the chicken sandwich game now like everyone else and it’s killer
Im absolutely blown away by the phenomenal looking food 😍
When you see Mike on a Weekend - 😀❤️❤️
My mouth was watering during the whole show thank you for you videos Mikey.
My little boy loves your video too. He loves cheeeeesssee. So I told him, run hard and eat harder 😉 By the way, love that Tofu Fighting T-Shirt 💜 Thanks Mikey.

??? Sus…..I hope you’re actually African American making this comment…very borderline stereotypical.
What stereotype?
“You can hang glide with the skin it’s so light” lmao the commentary is one of the reasons I love watching your vids man!
Wow, that buffalo sauce seriously looks as good as the chicken
Mike always cheers me up ..and makes me hungry of course ! that also makes me happy because I like eating , I’m a happy guy muff said !
I had mikes chicken once when I was in Dallas! It was sooo delicious and now after seeing this I have to go back.
I'm so happy you went to mikes! Best fried chicken in Dallas
I love Mikes and Rick’s chicken.
Hey Mike I love those songs you're pairing up with your videos that's nice thank you for doing such a great job I'm living vicariously through you and congratulations on your marriage
WOW!! So so many exciting places to eat around Dallas!! Thanks so much for sharing it all👍😁
Mikey, I LOVE the way you describe the food and how it tastes to you! You make it sound SO delicious. You make a person really WANT it! And your metaphors are fantastic. I obviously truly enjoy your channel.😊😋
That clay-pot chicken just looked amazing! Don’t know if I could finish it on my own though!
@Data Fix aww
You just have to believe in yourself! I believe in you!
It looks amazing but I wish it wasn’t spicy because I can’t handle too much spice in my food
@@juliesbeautyreviews5856 me either it makes my stomach hurt so bad
@@juliesbeautyreviews5856 there is a non spicy version of it so don’t worry
I just don't feel complete when he doesn't have dessert and tea afterwards 🍧🍦🍩🍪🎂🧁🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵
Dude yes! Mikes Chicken is in my neighborhood and I always thought it was going to be overhyped and man I was wrong!
Also, glad to see people hyping up Nurungji Chicken. They definitely need more love! ❤️
You should hit up Uncle Zhou’s (Yes, the one from NYC is now in Plano) and Limon’s Veracruz Restaurant in Oak Cliff.
The music is an indication that Mikey is definitely in love!
wow the paul harvey shout out at the end. I can remember going to work with my dad years ago and every day at a certain time we stopped what we was doing to listen to paul harvey. As a kid i thought my dad was the only one listening to him lol. Brings back alot of memories.
I live in North Dallas and I LOVE these videos! I'll check those places out as well!
Mike with a another feast filled video. Never disappoints. Making us hungry and laughing at the same time. 🥇
I wonder how many people wait for the moment an upload happens, see if they live near the places Mikey visits before immediately going to said places lol
Mikey’s fried chicken crunch was incredible. Why do I always watch these video when I’m hungry. The Buffalo sauce was the best.
Mike's Chicken is AMAZING, my go-to spot to take college friends
Mike’s and Ricky’s are my favorite chicken places! 🤤🤤🤤
Also how are you wearing a jacket in the middle of summer in Texas??
This man will restore your faith in what’s good and kind in this world 💕
Mikey, your Paul Harvey reference at the end of the video made me smile. Your midwestern credentials have been validated.
If I ever start doing food videos, Mikey is a huge inspiration or reason I'd be doing it
No doubt. You should. And you will 🙏
That line about the Lion King, Classic! Classic!
Hey Mikey at the beginning I really like your shirt. Nice to see you out of a T-shirt is Christine dressing you now LOL
I am going to try out Mike’s Chicken next week when I’m in Dallas. I can’t wait. It looks so good.
Mikey you are a brave man wearing that white T-shirt when u know how good u are spilling the sauce LOL
Your brilliant videos helped get the world through the pandemic, for that you deserve every bit of happiness and success in your life.

I’m blessed to get to live so close to Mike’s Chicken.
I got to try these chickens, I’ve lived in Dallas over 20 years and never been to these places
Have some for me please 🇭🇲
I got the Seasons box as my first box from Bokksu, loved every bit of it! Mine had the white strawberry -- white chocolate -- very different very delicious.
The first time I went to Dallas, I went to rickys and holy shit I fell in love. No other sandwich is the same
Every crunch of chicken made my stomach growl once each time....lol
"You could hand glide with this skin. it's so lite." That chicken looks so delicious. 🔥
That first chicken place looks SO GOOD. Genuinely was getting hungry watching Mikey eat it. I don’t live anywhere near Texas but I NEED that chicken
Mikey, I assume you went into a chicken coma after all that food.😂 Love watching your videos that promo small business.❤
So glad to see Mikey in Texas, my home state. It makes these locations seem not so far away.
Omg he want to Mike’s Chicken! One of the best fried chicken places in Dallas
it’s in his name man! that’s near my Granpa’s house [Gosh Dang!!!!]
Also thank you Mike for liking and hearting my comment
[Gosh Dang!!!!]
[Gosh Dang!!!!]
Yep that’s how you do it! [Gosh Dang!!!!]
I love that you're in my hometown area because you're either eating at places i love, or going to places that I want to go to.
Hey Mikey, when you come back to Chicago, can you do a food tour in the suburbs instead of the city?
He actually did just do some in the northwest suburbs!
Absolutely LOVE ddongo! It’s my go to place in Carrollton for some kimchi fried rice, soju, and great ambiance ☺️
Anyone remember the simpsons episode where homer tells Bart to “bacon up that sausage boy!” Someday mikes gonna tell his kid “Mayo up that cheese son!”
