Another reason Asians may be part vampire is that we don't seem to age 🤔
Have you try air frying the matcha fish ice cream?
Nah, there’s too much garlic, same with us Italians
You are what you eat.
This is true. Also all the down ass vamp anime. Done and done.
Mikey, what's up with the decorations hanging on the background?
" maybe we ARE vampires! We hate the sun, we're all really pale, we love blood, and every time we encounter a racist they scream something about bats!" mike, you successfully made me choke on my dinner, congrats. XD
That last part took me a second to get lol
@Luis T. Sick bait
I scrolled down wishing to find this comment!
I snapped man😂😂
Luis T. He’s literally from China and you’re calling HIM ignorant about East Asians? Give me a break
Am i the only one that notices when Mike eats he becomes a poet
Jaynae Edwards best comment ever haha
It’s his ability to channel the story of the food through himself. Like it’s words from the food that speaks through him.
When he eats good food his soul leaves his body and Edgar Allan Poe takes over
He's like the Lorax, but for food
Kimchi Aisle:
Non-Asian - Small Cup
Asian - Large Cup
Korean - Tub or Bucket.
My fatass - *The ocean*
gamrage Ya!! we have a Kimchi refrigerator. :)
Lol
I’m white lol and I always get the mini tub when I go to the super H mart (big Korean & Asian supermarket) because I literally put kimichi on everything lol 😂 and eat it almost every other day. Mannn, I’ll eat it with rotisserie chicken, rice, steak, in eggs scrambled, on pizza, with pork, with ramen 🤤😩 or sometimes I’ll just eat some out the jar. Idk, I really love it. It’s really good for you, probiotics and for your intestines. It helps your digestive tract. But I love other kimchi’s too, like cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi, chive kimchi 🤤🥰 man I’m hungry. Lol
hahah so true for me, i'm non-asian and get the mini cup because i'm not so used to it 😂
“They don’t do anything small. All this - for multiple people”
Mikey: this is just for me.
it's at the point in quarantine where i am drooling over grocery store food.
I've been cooking like a king during quarantine.
Why are you still in quarantine?
TaureanKing corona is still a thing my dude
Karpism it really is someone my mom works with just tested positive like 3 days ago.
TaureanKing some countries still have severe numbers of COVID-19 mate.
Like my country, many (not all) people don’t listen and just go out and not practice social distancing.
I love how this virus has turned a prolific travel channel into a grocery store review channel. Way to adapt!
@G_R_ I_M_ OK dumbass
Idk how I feel about the fact japanese 7/11's are considered more acceptable content than our asian grocery stores lmao
@G_R_ I_M_ You forgot your tinfoil hat.
@G_R_ I_M_ oh noo it's one of those people
G_R_ I_M_ cmon it’s not that deep , even if it’s fake what do u want us to do?
"Just a tiny bit of chili oil"
*proceed to put half of a jar of chili oil*
"Two shots of vodka..." *pours half of the bottle*
What I was thinking when I saw that 😭
Just a hint, just one hint lol
😂🤣
I applaud Mike for eating with jeans on. I’d be in my thanksgiving pants. 😂🤣
I wish every Korean store is as huge as that one. Full of choices and packed with ready made Korean food
neliel11 H Mart in Toronto is the size of a postage stamp
@@TripleDiamondArt ikr. it's unfortunate
Kristen Moore there’s one in Toronto Ontario???
Cass F there are two yes but they are teeny tiny like convienience store size....better to go to Nations Fresh for Asian food they just aren’t as specialized in Korean food, like I live in Hamilton and I can’t find premade gimbab or Korean fried chicken anywhere and went hoping the H mart was good but it was tiny.
Kristen Moore thanks I’ll have to check out nations fresh!
You know the food is good when Mikey starts walking backwards and shakes his head 😂
I get giddy myself when I see a Tiara/ crown.
When I was reading your comment he actually did it in the video. And now I cant stop laughing
It’s so mentally pleasing.... you literally getting everything and not holding back... I love that
why dude, why cant H-Mart be EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD
MELANCHOLIA I drive 35 minutes to get my weekly fix of kimchi and pickled garlic. Pretty fresh veggies and wide varieties of stuff.
I love that Hmart does shipping too because I moved 4 hours away and I need my jjajangmyeon Lol
Yes, please open one in Hamburg!
Yes that's what i say to 👏👏👏👏👏🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😁😁😁
H mart everything is over price I only go there for rambutan and shrimp and is on sale sometime
mikey: oh Yea make it rain korean corndogs my maan!!
the employee: 😐
HAHAHAHAH unamused
Maybe he didn’t catch up 🤷♀️😅
A lot of the employees there speak Spanish so most likely he just didn't understand. ^^;
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I laughed at this part. . 😂😂
He walks by 12 shelfs of chili paste and mentions it. Gets home "all I got is this hot oil"...
scary
I really wanted him to stop and pick hopefully his favorite so I could go buy it from my H mart
Relatable when cooking though.
To be fair, Korean chili paste is not very spicy, and Mikey prob likes things spicier than gochujang
🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾
I just moved to Maryland and HMart is my main place to grocery shop. I've changed my whole way of cooking. Korean food is one of the BEST! The flavors are insane! I really want to try fishcakes soon. Thanks for this video.
The thing about fish cakes is that the diversity is kinda double edged: yes, there are types suitable for chicken soup, fish soup, tteokbeokki, pho, ramen, and straight up boiled, but a fish cake that is good for one dish may not be good for another.
That said, when you know the 🍢 is good, it’s fucking delectable. And you might not even need to go to HMart to get it, any local JP supermarket should sport a frozen section with good fish cakes. (You will need to defrost and boil them yourself, though, and even possibly slice them)
I live in Maryland too. I love Hmart (and Lotte Plaza). 😁

Ninagiradosittijellieyeyenyasia yes amen thank you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg I never knew those were called Korean pears ! When I was smaller my grandma accidentally walked into a small Korean store and got some of those and I loved them so much they’re so juicy and so soft at the same time they just melt in your mouth! She’d get them for me often until that store closed down and I never got them again because I didn’t even know what they were I just thought it was some sort of apple pear thing only they had but now I know !
“Let’s put a hint of hot oil to the Udon”. Proceeds to put in 3 big tablespoons.
Hot oil the one condiment that is always used in every single video.
thats still little for asians
The best part was it made him cough after he sipped it, that cracked me up.
Mikey: “Every time they encounter a racist, they scream about bats.”
Me: Smashes like button
SAME
SAME
JUST THE COMMENT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
Lol the bats remark took me way tooooo long to get.
YES SAME!
This video was the equivalent of a hug. I really enjoy the energy you put out!
Also, my grandpa raised me on keishka, which is a variation of blood sausage
I missed your videos Mike! I'm proud of your success!
As a Korean, you don't have to eat Kimbap with sauce. It's supposed to be eaten by itself. I grew up sometimes eating it with Sriracha or hoisin sauce.
You surprised me eating the Soon-dae and pork with all that salt seasoning. A small dab is enough.
I love you Mike!
Ninagiradosittijellieyeyenyasia
I feel like Hispanics and Asians are similar when it comes to eating certain parts of the animal body. I grew up eating pig's ear, liver, blood sausage, pig trotters, all that good stuff. We just make them different.
Totally agree Paola! I'm Korean and I grew up eating all that!
Literally every other culture besides the west or Europeans do too
Europeans eat all these also.
For real - that's why our aisles are combined in american grocery stores!!! We know the good stuff ;)
It isn't just Asians and Hispanics. A lot of Europe eat these. The only ones that don't are Americans.

They just opened up a H Mart here in Mesa Az and it is amazing!!! I love in an area where there are several different types of Asian markets and it’s a treat! I’ve gotten several different ramen from there and tried things I’ve never had before and fell in love with Boba and pastries and noodles and fruit!
Go to 19:29 to watch Mike freak out over almost dropping his fish lmao 🤣 ❤ I love these little moments in your videos haha
“So just put a tiny bit of hot oil in” ...
Put a whole lot of hot oil in the bowl...
Damn, he’s truly a sucker for hot oil!
Chi Nguyễn Mai dude i think he puts hot oil into everything
He bleeds hot oil!
If hot oil was a woman, he's already married to her 😂😂
It's an on going joke with him lol
Such a personal taste thing...
Mikey: Buys a month worth of food in one trip.
Also Mikey: I'll be back for the dumpling section.
Well, his username is *_Strictly Dumplings_* after all. 😉
"My breakfast is getting out of hand"
I just love how so much asian food is super delicious and has SO many veggies and they just know so well how to use those veggies to make it all taste so amazing
Thank you for the positivity during this challenging time!!! Can’t wait to try the yakult soda- cheers! This is giving me so many ideas I cannot wait to try!
Mikey’s “just a bit” of hot chili sauce is the equivalent of “two shots vodka” from Sandra lee. I’m here for it.
“When you encounter a racists, they always scream something about bats.” LMFAOOO you are a genius Mikey
I screamed laughing !! He’s too funny
China gave the world COVID-19. It probably came from the lab in Wuhan. The disgusting wet markets are another matter. I am a fellow human being and your government has destroyed my source of existence after 32 years. I guess you're proud having never met me and knowing nothing about me....have you never imagined a Friend beyond your borders...so sad.
Heath Lawrence another racist fellow in the comment section. Leave, no one ask you to be here.
Heath Lawrence why are you being racist on an asian food video 💀 go ahead and log off for me
@@haitolawrence5986
You do realize that the conspiracy theory about SARS CoV-2 being created in a lab in Wuhan has been debunked, right?
No joke, every time I go to the kimchi section of a H Mart, I salivate. Everything looks so good and when I bring it home, it's just as delicious as I imagined it to be ^_^
Your excitement for everything is so cute. My favorite food person to watch. Food network needs you .
“The korean auntie visors, a mandatory accessory when you start getting older.” 😂
Mike literally to every single Korean dishes on this video:
This is one of my favorite Korean dishes
Great H-Mart episode! You’ve shown me so much Korean food that I haven’t had since I left Korea in 1999. I’ve craved the Pigs Feet from Namdaemun and now I’ll look for them at the H-Mart in Plano. Looking forward to you episode on Dumplings!
Dude. Thank you. Your videos always make me smile. Especially during the lockdown, I feel like I’m having dinner with a friend! Thanks again.
The deli food is made from my mom! Shes the manager there at that lynnwood location. Her secret korean fried chicken sauce recipe. I might teach you it :]] Im glad you enjoyed it
My Mom said she saw you recording!
Lynnwood in THE HOUSEEE
I so wanna see your mom and Mikey do a recipe TH-cam!
Jojo Tyree she would
mike's "hint of hot oil" is equivalent to pouring half the jar of hot oil 😂
or "Just a little butter" and " 2 shots of vodka"
Love, love, love your videos!!! I try to keep up, running late but I'm still here!! Keep em coming 😀
“ It warms your soul up “. I’m in love with this quote, and also going to be using it.
That joke about the bats. Lolol 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I laughed and immediately went uh uuhhh
Omg SAME 🤣
I laughed harder than I should but my god sundae is just sooo good
Asian parents in noodle forms: “It hurts you, but in a good way.”
Did anyone ever mention Mike turn into confucius when eating because TRUTH
haha too funny!
I've gone to the HMart in Houston and it is my new favorite grocery store. Problem is, I live in Louisiana. Lol
There should be something similar in your area.
You gotta get outta there!
Man you are living a dream , big love for your shows, don’t ever stop.
A week worth of grocery??*
Mike : Naaaah just my snack.
yes lol
I love Korean food so much almost any Asian food really. It IS SO satisfying especially dumplings, fire udon, anything pickled, and the trotters Oh so good! There is a Korean market 3 minutes from my house.
We like to buy stuff and just try it. I have to explore a little more. My husband has actually been to Korea when he was single in the military. I never made it there when I was in, but he has had the real deal in Korea..
You make everything seem so yummy by your excitement!
I love H Mart! We also have another Korean mega store called Assi Plaza. I love learning about new foods. I'm half Italian and half Vietnamese. Both sides have great cuisines, but I love discovering new cuisines.
Him: Just a *hint* of chili oil
Also him: Proceeds to pour the entire bottle 😂
I dream of going to an h-mart one day in my Life. For now I live vicariously through Mikey
haha i pity you i live near a h mart
Right, I live in south jersey, very lucky to have everything but.....an HMart
neweyeswideopen same lol
Be still my heart Mikey likes my comment. Let the cabbage patch nerd dance commence
neweyeswideopen I know right lol
Mike: “B positive and liver a little” Me: “Don’t leave meeeee, take me with you”🤣
This hits different while fasting
I LOVE how hype he gets over food ahahah YOU INSPIRED ME TO RUN OUT TO HMART real quick.
"BIG GYOZA! THAT'S MY FAVORITE TYPE OF GYOZA!" I felt that on a spiritual level.
I always love the content on this channel. What sets Mike Chen apart from other youtubers is that he always appreciates the culture and not just the food.
Thank you so much for this!!!! I can't wait to grab a soup kit. I appreciate your advice and tips :)))
They're one of the many local markets here, and I love stopping in when I'm in the area! I'm always pleasantly surprised by what new goodies I find here at each visit
Awe, your dad is so cute. Can’t believe he’s using burner accounts 😂
Fr!
Haha, nice try dad
07:46 Mikey asking the HMart employee to make it rain while arranging the hot dogs is one of the greatest things ever
Mikey's every video is 3 or 4 videos of other youtubers. I just amazed of the quality & his vibe every time i watch his video. Worth every second
Oh my gosh, I'm dazzled, so much interesting food. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing
I swear on everything everytime you upload I have to run out n get myself some sushi and noodles.. I just ordered me some. Its like Mike says "Hey! I'm eating!" And my stomach says "and I'm NOT?!?!"
Exactly, I’m dying for Ramen and Hot Pot
😂 you have a special bond with your tummy
Haha for reallllll 😂
@@TheDonkDonk420 I just ate Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Yellowtail, Eel roll, Salmon roll, AND beef noodles

Petition for mike to start a cooking channel where he tells us where to get everything, and how to make it.
I think he has a channel tho? Ive heard someone say thats where he put his hot oil recipe, maybe cook with mikey? Yeah that was the one, you can search it up he has over 50 recipes there I think
He has a cooking show/channel
He has a few other channels.... his cooking one is called Cook with Mikey

I love the Hmart videos. Saw dumpling first then came back for this one. Hope you do more from there, they have a lot! Thinking of roadtripping to one soon.
I’m so happy you show the shopping because a lot of us have no idea what to buy and what to do with it. I understand most of it is Self-explanatory however there is a quite a bit of food in Asian super markets that unless you grew up in it if you don’t know what it’s for what to do with it. Thank you
I love the passion he has when talking about all the food he is eating it just makes me want to try all of it out. Keep up that passion my guy cause it's working.
I love how excited he gets about dumplings 🥟 it’s so cute 😭😍
I'm in love with this market. I've been to an H mart in LA, San Diego, and my regular Denver. You've pointed out so much good stuff. And now I'll be making Korean BBQ at home with extra kimchi. 😍
This was awesome. Your energy is everything!
The only thing that's lighter when I leave H-Mart is my wallet 🤣
Last time I went I spent $60 just in ramen and instant noodles
@@joshuacastillo798 me too 😅
"maybe this pig was upside down his whole life"

The comedy you sneak in during a seemingly simple food review video is why I am subscribed. Love the science joke!!! "B positive and Liver-a little!!" *holds up BLOOD sausage, and LIVER" ohmygoodness!!!
I'm diggin' this guys enthusiasm. Thumbs up.
Omg, this H mart is literally five minutes' drive from my house and I go there every weekend. My husband and I would be delighted to host your next dumpling/ Noodle section so we can try more varieties. We usually hit 85 Degree across the street and Shared Tea (the best milk tea in Lynnwood) after the H Mart run.
BTW, I put the fried mackerel into the fish stew. The mackerel is tender, juicy and flavourful!
where is that H mart tho?? I live in ny and never saw that huge H mart!
Hi! What country is that?
Theres one in Yonkers, Heartsdale and (not technically NY but closer for people who boarder NJ) Paramus.
@@yamika4467 it is in Washington State in USA.
greenmew93 looks like this is the Lynnwood one
Hey Mikey. The literal translation of kimbap is "seaweed rice" which mistakenly alot of folks think of them as a Korean "sushi" roll. In fact both are not prepped or taste even remotely the same hence why you'll never find soy sauce/wasabi offered with kimbap.
The main characteristics of kimpap is the densely pack rice roll filled with whatever filling (usually beef or imitation crab meat, carrots, spinach, pickled diakon radish in the States) and a generous amount of sesame oil on the outside. The whole thing is basically a self contained flavored roll (strong sesame oil flavor) with a dense texture (especially on the rice). The most important ingredients personally is the pickled daikon radish should be 1/4 of the entire of the entire inner filling ingrediants to provide much needed acidity and a contrasting texture crunch.
That being said they are a childhood nostalgia and perfect food (often wrapped in aluminum) for a picnic or food on the go. The reason for their popularity in Korea is you can get a massive kimbap roll for $1. Also in Korea they have many different filling such as canned tuna, kimchi, and even cheese.
TDLR - Don't mistakenly think Kimbap is a "sushi" roll. Think of it as a dense rice roll and you may like it (but most people won't) 😂😃
Daikon-> danmooji* (단무지)
Yep, even the flavour profiles are described differently
Good to know!
Several years ago I was at an Asian grocery and I thought it was weird that they had sushi rolls that were just, out there by the front counter and not refrigerated. I did end up trying it, and it was good. Now I know what it is.
I had always thought of kimbap as a Korean sushi roll, and I am glad to have been corrected! Thank you for the info! I do enjoy kimbap as well as sushi, and that explains the different flavor profiles, so again, thank you!
My H Mart is so small, but I go crazy just like you did when I go once a month...I love the dumplings (mandu) and the cooked food.
I've been to that H-Mart in Lynnwood so many times. The BBQ Chicken is great! The mala sauce is insane. And the little bakery across from the market has a green tea raisin bread that is amazing.
"Just a tiny bit of hot oil"
*puts 3 tablespoon of hot oil* 😀😀😀
LOL Mikey is like Gordon Ramsay with the olive oil. "A little" = a sh*t ton 😂😂
Ayyyyyyyy welcome to the hot oil gang everyone
"Just a hint"
Proceeds to put three whole scopes of chili oil
It looked as red as the devil xD
I saw that too!
I was looking for this comment
That's a Gordon Ramsey sized "hint"
ok so im not tripping! hahaaa
I love the sound of those clam shells clinking together. God bless!
I love this video! I need to try the picked garlic, I love garlic. My wife would have never left that store if we got to the dumpling aisle!
If mikey calls that a hint, imagine what a gallon looks like to him
Haha i'm pretty sure he was joking and he knew he was adding a lot. His voice had sarcasm in it as he kept putting more and more oil
@@kruton93 yep agreed, he jokes about it most videos nowadays :D
A splash lol
@Úłtrà Ãrës GG G4
Love this vid so hungry now. We have an H-Mart next to us but I never know what to get...now I do! That fish yum😋. Thanks for sharing!
Really loved this video keep up the great work
Mikey : Just a tiny bit of that chilli oil, just a hint of it.
Also Mikey :
*Adds 3 spoonful of chilli oil*
".... unfortunately my chili oil is all I have"
😱😱😱 Don't you dare talk to your chili oil like that
Thank you for introducing us to all of this delicious food.
Literally helps me with my appetite issues. Great video.
19:29 when he dropped the mackerel,so cute haha.
"Am I hot right now? I'm red."
Too much hot oil in Mikey's body.
I love this. I never know where to start in an Asian supermaket! I'm definitely gonna get a hotpot cooker and some of those soups or hotpot sets!
I love how you're a fellow Seattleite! I'm just sad that I never bump into you when you're out! 😭 I shop at H-mart quite often seeing as I live only several minutes away.
“I love pig ears. That’s why I have good hearing “😂😂😂😂
That's why a dogs hearing is so good
I wonder if Mikey knows how cute he really is, especially when he gets excited. No, this is NOT a "come on or pick up" line. He just gets so innocently and adorably excited. 😊💜❤
I just love him! ❤
@@gypsymom0819 I do too. 💜🤗
His love for food is so real! Just keep loving food :D
Imagine if he was in he mafia they send a pig head and he starts to cook it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He wouldn't be scared, he'll thank them 🤣
I just went to an HMART for the first time in Texas and i thought i was in heaven but watching your video, i wish my first experience was at your HMART bc i would’ve never left. Your local HMART is huge& has soo many choices to pick from, I’m so jealous! Everything looks soo goood!
Look for your local Super H Mart. There's one in Carrollton. The H Mart in Plano is tiny in comparison.
pilotgrrl1 I know u aren’t talking to me but thanks because I live right by Carrollton and I used to live in Carrollton 😁
Your jokes today were definitely needed and appreciated!🤣🤣🤣🤣
the bats 😂😂✌️ you make all food look so good. the pickled garlic is amazing! do you guys have the spicy version too!
I appreciate you trying foods at H-Mart, this will help me figure out if I should get some!
