Thanks for the recommendation, guys. I went with my best friend. We loved it so much, and we later took both our parents there. They loved the place too. This place will become one of our regulars. :)
AWWW! HENAN IS MY HOMETOWN! There aren't a lot of people appreciating Henan cuisine out there. It seems to be overshadowed by Cantonese, Taiwanese and other types of Chineses food. I'm glad you guys enjoy it! And I'm kinda jealous coz I haven't found a place that offers authentic Henan noodle here in Toronto. My favorite is noodles in lamb soup:)
Honestly guys I noticed ever since Carmen left OTGW, there hasn't been a lot of Cantonese stuff instead I hear so much Mandarin. But oh well it is what it is. Good job you guys.
You are very passionate in food like me. I live way too far (madagascar) but I swear I'll get there before I die. For me, chinese cuisine is the best. Keep up the good work. Make me hungry!!!
Hi Mike. I am a big fan of your ytube. I will go to this restaurant for my birthday coming up. I am Japanese and my son lives in Elmhurst so I can visit any time. I also tried some cooking recipes you showed. I am going to try beef with long horn chili tonight. Thanks for good work and keep up.
hand pulling noodle is an art! theres this noodle shop in my town i love to go to and i'll be standing near the counter and watch the chef working on his magic on pulling noodle and i'll be like looking at him in all awe and asking, is that gonna be my noodle? ... im easily amused XD
That's so interesting! I was born in Henan, but grew up in the west. It's very fun too learn something about the food from my birthplace! Thank you guys!
Last year I ended up in Flushing on vacation last minute due to sudden car trouble and change of hotels. I had no time to prepare, so I stuck to my original plan and missed out on what the neighborhood had to offer. This year is different. I've got everything booked two months in advance, and a growing list of sights to see and eats to eat in and around Flushing. Mostly thanks to Dan and Mike. If I see you two around in mid June, maybe I can spring for lunch. Some of those dishes look a bit much to tackle solo. :)
i cant believe it yay food from my home town :D im from kaifeng in henan, usually when people think of china its mainly beijing shanghai sichuan guangzhou and stuff. most people dont know of henan, but the thing is henan has soo much history! with the past emperors living there and we have a great range of food!! especially kaifeng xiaochi (snacks). we live beside the yellow river, we do alot of farming and food productions. and my city is literally called city on top of cities because the yellow river used to flood often, and kaifeng city gets ruined and covered. so people have to build a new city on top of it. its truely amazing. i miss it so much :( and really do hope more people will start to acknowledge henan because whenever people as where im from, i say henan and theyll be like "never heard of it"
Handpulled noodles are awesome! The taste is just so different from the store bought ones. I thought about making some for dinner tonight but was feeling way too lazy...
... I so envy you living in the US and be able to eat such great food... Whenever I watch your videos I want to try all of the food you eat as well!... Keep up the great videos /fellow chinese guy from Germany, where there is no good Chinese cuisine
mike, how often do you work out in order to be able to eat the amount you do? I understand that the more you work out, the more you can eat to sustain your body via calories, but I just wanted to know how often you work out per day and how many days per week?
First, let me say how much I love these two guys videos and personalities! Second, they look high AF in this one, especially when Dan has a food-gasm over his first bite of noodles! Munchies much, lol?
After watching the video, we had to go and eat at Uncle Zhou. The recommendations were spot on. The fish was great as was the best mo shu pork I ever had. Who shows up while we were there? Dan and Mia. Dan was super nice and came over to speak with us. He didn't have to since he was having his dinner too but we really appreciated that he made the effort. I hope Uncle Zhou comped his meal. This is a lot of free publicity for the restaurant.
Many Sichuanese / Hunanese / Shanghainese Northeastern Chinese restaurants have popped up all over the island in recent years but I haven't seen any from Henan or other regions of China. Of course, there is also local Chinese food in Singapore originating from Fujian / Guangdong which is pretty common everywhere.
You guys always make me wish I lived in a metropolitan city because you get to eat all of these great foods at great restaurants. But when my social anxiety disorder issues kick up and I wish that there were long distance delivery. LOL I would love to learn how to cook REAL Asian food!!
河南人顶起！you guys are so very different from the fung bros and wongfu. love your videos! shannxi, shanghai and canton is a good combination of family background as well!
Thanks for the recommendation. I took your advice and went there last night and had a great time. I ordered the same noodle dish you guy had and it was awesome although I'd like a little more of that noodle. I also had the pork with garlic sauce and a pork intestine with green and red pepper. Both were outstanding. Yea the intestine thing is not in your ordinary menu, but you might try it some time. Love this place.
Okay, that's it: I give up. I'm getting noodles. A place here in Austin opened up last year, offering hand-pulled noodles, and we don't GET much in the way of good Chinese, in these parts. After seeing this so many times, and being hungry on a Sunday, I have to give up and go try it. Thanks a lot, guys! ;-)
OH man I just happened to find these guys, and I was Instantly pulled in by your enthusiasm. xD (The first vid I saw was the tatoo spelling fails vid). I'm from Sweden, but this vid, and you guys gave me yet another reason to go to the states and try this food, (and yes, I would really love to go to china as well to experience the food, but the states is an easier trip to do. ^^) Awesome and funny vids, genuine and may I say prettttty handsome hosts. xD
Tips/suggestions for low-carb eating in Henan? I currently live in Henan, and carbs are everywhere. Any low-carb dishes that I should try? The 木须肉 looks pretty low-carb. It's possible that I've eaten something similar before here.
Its an art form to keep our veges and meats the same sizes so they will cook evenly to give the dish the same consitancy in texture for that specific ingredient.
So, from what I understand Dan is a normal person and Mike has a portal to another dimension in his stomach.
Omg haha you made my day XD
You win the internet lmao
He is like Doraemon :)
hahahah
AKShamu28 like kirby?sorry if tgis was 2 late lol
Thanks for the recommendation, guys. I went with my best friend. We loved it so much, and we later took both our parents there. They loved the place too. This place will become one of our regulars. :)
Lin J tell them where you heard about it from :-)

A big shoutout from a Henanese! So darn stoked to bump into this vid! Very authentic dishes and u guys know what to order for sure!
I love y'alls personality. You two vibe off each other in equal amounts like the moo shu pork. Very cool.
My friend and I went there when we visited queens. I had the knife noodles. Amazing. I miss uncle zhou and want to visit nyc again just to eat there.
omg you guys are awesome hosts! Better than actual tv food show hosts srsly
I'd love to learn how to make those hand-pulled noodles! It just looks so cool!

I think Mike and Dan are some of the most expressive and excited eaters I have ever seen
Love your videos and am actually planning a visit to go the places you've shown. Please keep it up!
Alan Vranian Thanks :-)
That's so interesting! I was born in Henan, but grew up in the west. It's very fun too learn something about the food from my birthplace! Thank you guys!
I can't describe how loud my stomach is growling after watching you boys eat! Everything looks AMAZING!
Jennifer White yea its superb!
You guys rock. My bucket list just keeps getting longer n' longer.
I love Mikes knowledge of Chinese cuisine, he makes it so interesting he's a good storyteller. He needs to write a food history book.
Love these new series! Would be awesome if you could also make these series a playlist :) It'd be a foodie video marathon all the way!

Keep up the great videos
/fellow chinese guy from Germany, where there is no good Chinese cuisine
What about a series of you visiting restaurants, going through all the regions of china one at a time.
I acknowledge that some regions might need more than one episode due to cultural and/or geographical diversity.
I don't know how, considering I've never eaten authentic Chinese food before, but this video made my mouth water...
mike, how often do you work out in order to be able to eat the amount you do? I understand that the more you work out, the more you can eat to sustain your body via calories, but I just wanted to know how often you work out per day and how many days per week?

Oh, you guys made me feel homesick!!! Miss the foods soooo much!
I love hand pulled noodles. They taste the best in my opinion!
Dan, you are the luckiest man in the world to have a SHONDI like Mike!
A what?
Shondi meaning "Bro" in Chinese.
Xiōngdì=bro
Is 兄弟
Is the Cantonese version... Huang dai?
After watching the video, we had to go and eat at Uncle Zhou. The recommendations were spot on. The fish was great as was the best mo shu pork I ever had. Who shows up while we were there?

Watching this video at midnight is making me hungry!

Was about to write this comment too ^_^
That was a successful advertisement for that place, it's now on my bucket list. Thanks for the info guys.
I'm loving Mike's shirt lol
Dan, don't challenge Mike, he's gonna always win XD

I would love to learn how to cook REAL Asian food!!
As soon as I saw the title, and the word, "Henan," I immediately thought: "SHAOLIN NOODLES!"
河南人顶起！you guys are so very different from the fung bros and wongfu. love your videos! shannxi, shanghai and canton is a good combination of family background as well!
I live in nanyang henan. It's good that you found this place. Wonder if they have da pan ji

"You ever had something and your like, I don't know whats in this but it's delicious?"
Yup.
MacDonalds.

I like how they complain about people pronouncing Henan "Hu"nan and then Mike does the same thing at the end of the video xD
I spent a summer in Henan, miss it so much :(
Mike your shirts tho... I get so excited when you post a video just so I can see what your shirt will say next!
wow pulling those noodles requires some crazy skills
Chinese are famous for pulling their noodles. Some smaller than others.
What kind persons gives a great video a thumb down. The food looks great. Noodles my favorite.
You guys should travel to California! This makes me so hungry but I don't know of places like this around where I live.
OH man I just happened to find these guys, and I was Instantly pulled in by your enthusiasm. xD (The first vid I saw was the tatoo spelling fails vid). I'm from Sweden, but this vid, and you guys gave me yet another reason to go to the states and try this food, (and yes, I would really love to go to china as well to experience the food, but the states is an easier trip to do. ^^)

That was an awesome intro before you guys start your video!
Great looking forward to trying this with other half on valentine's
Best noodles i ever had when i stayed in Puyang, in Henan province! YUM! :-)
La Mian is also really hard to make - took me 3 years to learn, and I'm still not very great at it!
omg you guys were in my area!! that restaurant is the best :)!!!!!
Do you guys recommend any places in the Boston area for Henan food? It looks yummy. I love your videos by the way, theyre so interesting
love dragon beard noodles~ sooo thin, i love with gon bao-sauce.
"IT looks like a fish with a blonde wig" hahaha lawl only Dan would say that
I love dragon beard noodles! I would love to go on a food adventure with you guys! :)
Tips/suggestions for low-carb eating in Henan? I currently live in Henan, and carbs are everywhere. Any low-carb dishes that I should try? The 木须肉 looks pretty low-carb. It's possible that I've eaten something similar before here.
hI GUYS, love your videos. Can you tell me the names of the restaurant you visited and how much they costs... plssssss
Love Mike's shirt!
That first dish is like Fish in a Blanket. :D
If I ever visit or live in NYC I'm so going by this guide. =D ;-)
haha Dan dies everytime he takes a bite.
If I eventually go to NYC (I live in Sydney) I'd love to go to all these places. Or you could come to Sydney :D
Hey guys being in NYC with somewhat refine palettes, what do you guys think of the Xian's Famous chain?
you guys make me miss china😘
Besides stewed noodles, Hu La Tang is my favorite!
how much does it cost ,it looks good
Good videos bros! Can you guys make a video of pick up lines in chinese that work on girls lol.
noodles look delicious and the fish too
Thick rice noodles are the best! I can only get the ones from my asian market though :(, they are still yummy!
Soooo, did the person who video tape you guys get some too?
Its an art form to keep our veges and meats the same sizes so they will cook evenly to give the dish the same consitancy in texture for that specific ingredient.
Makes me want to go there. But I have never been to NY.
Mike where is your shirt from??? Please tell me!!
