Dude, I've never seen anyone this passionate about food. It made me happy watching you thoroughly enjoy the food and being so descriptive about it. Cheers! :)
I swear this channel makes me so happy!!! ^-^ Can't believe I found it few days ago 0.0 and already watched almost all of the videos ;D Love it! YOU ARE SO AWESOME
i live 1 block from ipot, if u want to come be ready to wait at least an hr for dinner time and good luck with parking. theres a line EVERY night. izakaya sozi is across the st too if u want to wait for more food. i live 16blocks from the pot, no one ever eats there. the firey hotpot place used to be another hotpot place, g cube, weird, didnt know it changed. love hot pot garden on taraval until it burned down inside, but try it in millbrae. was my fave.
A new experience for me, never heard of Hot Pot but how wonderful this set up is were you cook your meal in all the different hot pots. Learned a lot about the different flavors, meats, and sauces. If ever I go to one of these restaurants I'll know all about the way you eat. Thank you and appreciate how you described the flavors and made it seem like a lot of fun.
“Let’s decide quickly what to yeet before I get hungry” some people have trouble with pronunciation like people saying “th” sound as a “f” sound like thing > fing
Once, I went to a hot pot place with my friend and my family, and me and my friend drank like fours pots of tea, and when we asked for a fifth refill, the guy looked at us and ignored us and walked away😂
Marie Sarrazin i actually thought hotpot meals were just regular meals placed in hotpots😂 but then I went to china and saw it for the first time. I was like wtf. But it was delicious.
"How hot do you want it?" "As hot as you can make it" 5 minutes later "All I can taste is spicy peppercorns, I can't tell if it's flavorful or not because it's too spicy. ZERO STARS"
Great job. I agree with the Ipot rating, it's pretty good I went in September and it was awesome. The only problem wasn't with Ipot itself but parking, it's absolutely horrible during the evening.
Because of you I will be going to my very first Hot Pot this weekend and I'm super excited to see how it goes. Thanks for sharing your love with us because it has opened me up to A Whole New World of food that I look forward to enjoying
Would you come to LA? I would go to all the restaurants you visit, if you do!! >.< It's sunny over here haha and SF is known for being cloudy. P.S. Thanks for your vids, I could watch them for hours. There's something about your personality and passion I love.
YAY! You made this gal's heart happy! :') If you make any meet up, please post in twitter or recommendations in LA haha. Also I recommend, San Pedro Fish Market for their World Famous Shrimp Trays, which is close to LA or maybe still LA. They have so much seafood since there's so many restaurants in one plaza and then go the Korean Friendship Bell for a nice view! But that's up to you. :)
if ur in LA let me know!! will start my catreing/pop up biz soon ang will be nice to explore great food wit an expert;)) but well LA doesnt offer thaaat much..if i dont hear from u try lil sister in dowtown LA best viet in LA...;) seeya!
Bummer! Sad to have missed your filming. It would have been fun to see you live. Thanks for all your wonderful recommendations and insights into the world of hot pots.
dude i usually watch your beyond science channel.came here to visit.and i must say i love this so much i had to subscribe.great at being unbiased and upfront with the good old mikey chen personality
Hey man glad I found your channel. subbed. I'm in SF too... always looking for the good spots. There's a mongolian hotpot place near union square area by me that I haven't made it to yet either. See you out on the food circuit! ;)
In one of his videos he talks about why he has different Chanel's, he likes to keep the content all seperate. But I agree with you, it's intresting how he can seems so different himself
Best Broth at The Pots is the Tomato Pumpkin. Didn't quite like any of the other broths. I have had better days for broth at Fiery than you seem to have had. I would love to know your thoughts on Dumpling Kitchen on Taraval. And if you are ever interested in Indian Food, go to Moodees in the Sunset, and Rasa in Burlingame. Israeli Food- Oren's Hummus.
Thank you -so- much for this! I live in SF, and I have tried so hard to indoctrinate my friends to the glory that is hot pot. My standby has been the SF city Boiling Hot Pot (since I live so close to it), but now I really need to try IPot!
Love your videos! More please!!! Next time if you were here in S.F again....you should visit Taichi Pot Shabu Shabu at Santa Clara.. definitely worth a try!! top notch quality meats!!
IPot is horrible at their service. They tried to kick us out by forcing us to eat quickly without telling us the time limit. And threaten we might not get ice cream if we dont eat within limit. So horrible never going back there again!!!
I have a little hearing problem, I have 50% hearing loss in my right ear. The audio in most videos are a wee bit low, just so enough that I can't hear about half of what's being said, so by accident I noticed that if by placing your hand half cupped around your phones speaker it ups the audio by about half again what it already is making it much easier to hear. I love seeing how genuinely Mikey talked about all 4 choices in this video. If he likes bowels of hell HOT CHILI OIL let him be. I have saw him really savor A LOT of chili oils. You go for it Mikey. We love how you tell it exactly the way you taste it.
just so you know, if I ever happen to run into you while on a hot pot run, I will officially challenge you!! even though I know I will lose haha xD awesome video as always!! blessed be your day.
Omg I love your videos! Seems like you take a lot of time to edit these but they're so nice and detailed? I want hotpot so bad after watching this video 😭😭
"I always wonder how hell tasted like." *Sips* "Its ugh...Sour." 😂😂😂 I almost cried there
Josh M belly laughed
“Sour” way to hell
Thanks Mike! Now I know what places I can go when I ever visit San Francisco! The video makes me drooling over all the food...
no problem :-)
i think the way your spice level is, when you say something isnt that spicy i translate that as "it's extremely spicy"
From watching all his vids i know tgat ald
I know its crazy hahaha
Id strangle to death if I ate what he says is lite spice. Lol
When he says
Oh it's really spicy
That means you no ate, I repeat you no eat
Cant be bothered to use good English
When he says something is spicy and he coughs,
It’s probably lava from hell
"Always wondered what hell tasted like" "its sour" 😂🤣😁😉
"im asian but im not that asian" lmao nice. great quote.
so funny haha
I’m Asian / Chinese I also Speak English though Lol

you should factor in the price. cause that is a big factor too
only for poor people
Trafalgar Law that’s not true he stated a good thing
@@dieterdermaster no. Just because something is expensive, doesnt make it better. Case in point, his NY vs Japan ramen review.
@@HisSnuggleBear18 nah
@@dieterdermaster no even if your make a decent living, especially in sanfrancisco where everything is expensive, price is a huge factor.

Piss off bitch
Lol chill robert
I can hear ' 5 minutes later ' as that viral SpongeBob thing
That’s true tho
This just made me so freaking happy being from San Francisco and coming across this gem
As a Chinese international student who haven't got a single authentic hotpot in the states. My mouth is watery af

true that
I always love how inconspicuous the people in the back try to pretend to be but clearly they are aware of him filming and are trying to be seen 😂😂😂😂
I love the fact you are honest and your joy and passion for food is so cool to hear.
Congrats Mikey you're listed #8 on Trending!
yay!
This look so good.. I wanna cry cause hotpots here is expensive :^( If Its not that expensive.. I would eat hotpot every single day lol
its definitely a weekly or bi weekly thing
Weekly is easy to say when you run a channel with over 400,000+ subs.
First Last yo say that like it was just given to him.
make your own, youl have to get an expensive setup but after that its just ingredients
Kileh Meda lol same
I'm so jealous coz he's eating hotpot and I'm eating cup noodles
Umm.... African kids are air 5 days ago
You're a broke.
Im eating nothing because im fasting, im soo hungry now

It's sunny over here haha and SF is known for being cloudy.
P.S. Thanks for your vids, I could watch them for hours. There's something about your personality and passion I love.
I will! love LA food :-)
I second this! I was going to post the same thing.
YAY! You made this gal's heart happy! :') If you make any meet up, please post in twitter or recommendations in LA haha.

Never seen or even heard of hotpot before looks amazing. Great watch, keep the videos coming man.
IPot is my friend group's go to spot. 10/10 would recommend if you're visiting SF. Can't wait to go back after the pandemic.
Love u Mikey❤.....and love ur videos❤...keep it on💪
Thanks so much Margret!
Mike, how do you stand eating that much food for so many videos? It must take a lot of willpower

11:34 I am watching this 4 years after this was released, but I have done this forever keep on going you man of Good culture!
Just discoverd this Channel from Germany Subscribed and i am now watching this Videos non stop
bruh your rating is biased, no chili oil is ever going to satisfy you
DeathShinigami besides his homemade chili oil made from ghost pepper extract.
😂 we all know his preference
Wish I could send him some Hungarian peppers we grow in the garden, hot as hell.
There are some kinds of spicy hotpot in China that are way spicier than these places
They don't serve non spicy broth, and they use a special put like this: img.91jm.com/2015/06/14DB34066BD.jpg
How much it cost? In sunset in the sanfranciso California, local hopots for me cost about $20-35
i swear i just ate my meal and im full a while ago,i became hungry watching this wtf
SAME
I have a special counter I guess, I watch him 2 hours straight without even feeling peckish
If only you could put all your favorite positive selections all together in one restaurant, perfection!

How are you verified xD
Your video is 10 on trending!! 😁
SOMETIMES I REALIZE I'M MISSING OUT ON ALL THE GOOD FOOD IN LIFE....
The fact that he says “All you can yeet” makes me so happy :).
"I'm Asian but not that Asian." Dying here. Love when people can laugh at stereotypes of themselves. Also love your vids, man. Keep on keepin' on.
So strange seeing this guy not talking about weird science, aliens and the paranormal for once!
Horrors, Freaks & Creeps!
What you mean?
Hayden Blanchard he has a science channeling
In one of his videos he talks about why he has different Chanel's, he likes to keep the content all seperate. But I agree with you, it's intresting how he can seems so different himself
Best Broth at The Pots is the Tomato Pumpkin. Didn't quite like any of the other broths. I have had better days for broth at Fiery than you seem to have had. I would love to know your thoughts on Dumpling Kitchen on Taraval. And if you are ever interested in Indian Food, go to Moodees in the Sunset, and Rasa in Burlingame. Israeli Food- Oren's Hummus.
Jaymie Vaz you mean Palestinians food
daisy heart hahaha, the origin of hummus is highly debated, but orens is an Israeli restaurant, and thus they call their food israeli.
great video, those are some great spots to eat in SF
I like the scoring! It helps to have a way to compare the various restaurants.
the only youtuber with the best food reactions
Thank you -so- much for this! I live in SF, and I have tried so hard to indoctrinate my friends to the glory that is hot pot. My standby has been the SF city Boiling Hot Pot (since I live so close to it), but now I really need to try IPot!
