Happy Holidays Everyone!!! I will be hosting a live video stream on this channel soon(sorry don't know exact details yet) so make sure to hit that notification bell and the time will be announced in the Community tab :-) talk soon!
Mike I want you to know I am a huge fan and have many unspoken troubles.. I am from and currently living in South Carolina. I stayed in California for 4 years nand have been back in SC for 3 years now. I am 18. And I usually don't comment but I love your videos, and those unspoken troubles; I want you to know your videos save me and, you inspire me. Please please keep being you!!!
I laughed at the guy who kept turning around 😂. Plus the food made me so hungry I went out to get some (instant) ramen 😂🤤. Edit: I didn’t realise people were still liking this comment. Thank you 😂❤️
They all looked amazing! I cannot remember the last time I had ramen, so I know what I am doing for lunch tomorrow! I would like to go today, but it is too hot to leave the house and I have been eating soooooo many chocolates I could not do the ramen justice! My stomach does not have the magnificent capacity of yours! Thank you for the video!
Mike, when I saw my first bowl of Ramen I couldn’t believe how moved I was with the art of presentation. Then the taste...I’ll never forget my first! Always chasing that experience! Nice job!
I love watching your videos you help me through my anxiety and I love watching all the new things you try and thanks for showing us were the best places to go eat in New York!
I agree that Totto is absolutely excellent. I tried the pork spicy paitan and it was beyond amazing. I also liked how they blow torched the porks in the bowl before serving.
I've never experienced Totto Ramen in NYC; my first time was in Taipei. I loved it from the first bite. They just give you so much meat and for only $9, it's a no brainer. I've yet to have anything close to as good back in the States. I can't wait to have it again next month when I go back. I also went to Ichiran in Taipei and was not impressed. Keep it up Mikey!
More travel vids, please! 😊 I loved your Peru series, and of course I absolutely love it every time you're in Asia. Seeing you in smaller countries is just the best. There's a lot more soul to your videos when you're outside North America.
Regular viewers will note the tell-tale sneeze from Mikey at the end of Hide-chan, which happens when he's feeling very full. Followed immediately by "let's go to the next place and eat again!"
The spicy garlic at Hide Chan is one of my favorite bowls in NYC and I go there quite often. I must say the location in Hells Kitchen serves a superior bowl than the one on the east side you went to in this video. I also suggest getting the wavy noodles over the straight. I wish you had a better experience because I do think this place is top notch.
All the ramens looked awesome! Because I know better, I had a full meal of South American comfort food prepared before I watched the video. Totally different flavor profiles, but every bit as satisfying. Arroz con menestra, ensalada de aguacate, rabano y pepino encurtido, Cuba Libre. ;) Eat on, Mikey...and Happy New Year!
I've been feeling *so* much anxiety from the holidays and this random opportunity that fell into my lap that I don't know what to do with but when I saw you uploaded, I got this wave of relief and the thought [yesss Mike Chen, help me forget about this crap]. Thank you for helping the world, one bite at a time 🍽
I live right across the Pulaski bridge from Mu Ramen and I'd never heard about them until I watched your video. Definitely going to check them out tomorrow! Thanks, Mikey!!!
First time in NYC, i had my little guide book and they recommended Totto's ramen. It's really small, but i was alone so i sat at the counter and took the best seller. I never seen yet a place that serve such good meat in their ramen as their. And the restaurant feel so simple, yet very popular. By the door, people were taking picture (of me eating?) and in front of me, one of the cook was stirring the huge boiler of broth. Best experience in a restaurant. period.
Besides the ramen, itself, (which is REALLY REALLY GOOD at Totto) that hot oil looked insanely good--all of that garlic with the chilis? I'd be doing shots of that by the end of the meal.
Mike, though it's apparent that you love and are open to all styles of ramen I hope you get to go to Hakata one day (gauging from your reactions to Tonokotsu and heavier styles of ramen). It will literally CRUSH every kind of ramen you have ever had both in the US and in Japan (you'll see that Ichiran is nothing compared to TRUE kyushu style ramen).
First of all, your Channel is amazing and it makes me even more excited to go to all these Asian countries and Asian influenced places. So thank you for doing what you’re doing
Your passion and enjoyment for Ramen never cease to amaze me Mikey-San. The best ramen I’ve had in Winnipeg is Cho-Ichi Ramen 🍜 their spicy garlic tonkotsu pork ramen is absolutely incredible. Of course we don’t have the special Japanese chain ones here, but some of those ones look incredible, especially Totto, but I wonder how that Red Dragon 🐉 Ramen 🍜 at Hide-Chan would be??
It has been 6 years since the video was up loaded and I finally went to Totto and Hide Chan. From where I was at 12th and St. Marks place to 52nd Street. It was a 2.5 miles walk and it was an adventure. Totto wasn’t too busy, Saturday and I had their signature and a Tsukemen. After my gut explosion, I went to Hide Chan and the Shoryu was overloaded with their Chashu as the taste just smothered your souls with its Soy based marinade in the Chashu.
I can’t believe you were literally next door at Mu ramen and I missed you!!!!! My husband and I really enjoy your videos, please keep the videos coming and hopefully we will get to meet you one day~
Anna Hollenback -Then do it. Just decide on a flavor profile that either complements or derives from a popular holiday dish. Stuffing with sage is probably at the top, so how about a sagey dish with ham or turkey, celery and onion. Play with it.
Plus, you can be sure that many Asians DO serve it with holiday meals. So, introduce it to your non-Asian friends. LIS, just give it a suitable flavor profile. Merry Slurping and a Happy New Year.
You absolutely crack me up and make me extremely hungry at the same time! Found your channel while looking for info on Thailand food. Great videos. Thank You!
I was at Hide-Chan Ramen yesterday! I got the Kogashi Ramen and the broth was really thick and flavorful. I don't know if it's just the different type of soup but mine was thick to the point where I couldn't drink it without drinking water with it haha
Every time I see him I start starving, my mouth begs for ramen. Please share!!! Just to ask, did anyone knows a decent ramen place on Ecuador?. Never found one and had to travel to USA to get a nice bowl.
Whatever this dude spouts out of his mouth, it's always gold!! Man, you could be a good freestyle rapper! Do you have a book of descriptions to spit out? You've won a sub alright! Most creative food vlogger ever!
You have to try the classic tonkotsu ramen at Tonchin Ramen in NY!! I feel it's so much better than ippudo, totto, everything (and i had ramen in Japan - felt this one was closest in flavor!). Would like to see what you think :)
Hope you had a a great Christmas buddy, and as always Mike really enjoy your video's the food looks awesome you got all of us craving Ramen, lol! But thanks for always being so authentic and honest I trust in your judgment more than any other food vloger and if you say it's good then it's good and I so look forward to trying these places you recommended cause I know there going to be amazing! God bless and have a Happy New Year!
I love ramen but I have to travel far to downtown to get some, sucks that my area has zero ramen restaurants. This video makes me jealous! really tasty ramen!!! I am so hungry right now at 3:29 AM.. mouth watering from just watching you eat..
It's ok to feel cheap rather than eating the best ramen noodles at a well known restaurants. U gotta try it for once instead of the ramen packs where u have to enhance the flavor of the soup. Go out to some of these restaurants n see the results how much different from those to the instant noodles.

Strictly Dumpling Did you lose your camera in Vietnam? I have been waiting for your food video in Vietnam for long time!!!
Awesome... if I come back to NYC, I gotta check these places out. Also, you should try Ramen at Momofoku.
You will lose your mind with the meat in Argentina, you should come inmediatly! i can give you a tour! also make you the best asado

Im so ungrateful right now
Dude you are so poetic about Ramen, I have a great appreciation for that.
OMY...who else just wants to go eat Ramen right now!
And here I am. Munching on instant ramen. Pretending I'm tasting what you're tasting.
Chivas Aurora sameee... same..
sadly....that's very relatable
call for an uprising 2 and RFB on youtube best channels and Scientism exposed on youtube and age of deceit 2 and also Gary wayne on youtube
some marijuana will help you out
Same. Eating mine with dollar store plastic utensils and a napkin made of regret. 😭
Yay! Part two I’ve been waiting for this 😍😍. Am I the only one that love his ramen videos and haven’t had ramen ever?
Mike "this broth is THICC" Chen
FENG DOOZY *quickly stares at camera
no food in the house. time to watch Mikey eat food and cry!
Get out of Shanghai
I laughed at the guy who kept turning around 😂. Plus the food made me so hungry I went out to get some (instant) ramen 😂🤤.
Edit: I didn’t realise people were still liking this comment. Thank you 😂❤️
Everyone was looking xD that moment that guy was standing behind him and staring xD
lol, i seen him too...I was like..um...kayyyyy,lol
The dude who turns around looks like a tosser
SAME. What an awkward little pickle.
Guy in red hat needs to mind his own business
That broth looked awesome, Mike! Ramen is perfect cold weather food. 👌🍜
Whaddya mean, you can eat ramen everyday everywere at and time
Black garlic is amazing. I add it to soups, bone broth etc.
They all looked amazing! I cannot remember the last time I had ramen, so I know what I am doing for lunch tomorrow! I would like to go today, but it is too hot to leave the house and I have been eating soooooo many chocolates I could not do the ramen justice! My stomach does not have the magnificent capacity of yours! Thank you for the video!
Mike, when I saw my first bowl of Ramen I couldn’t believe how moved I was with the art of presentation. Then the taste...I’ll never forget my first! Always chasing that experience! Nice job!
Wow at last i am so early here... Watching this video after 4 minutes of uploading... As always now I feel hungry 😅
I love watching your videos you help me through my anxiety and I love watching all the new things you try and thanks for showing us were the best places to go eat in New York!
dude that is some serious capacity you got there. pretty impressive amount of food you can put away
I have my husband watching you now and he keeps asking me, "where does he put all that food."
Chinese people are known for eating a lot. He ate a lot since he was little so I guess his stomack is bigger than ours lol
i once saw 2 skinny chinese dudes eat a whole buffet
🚽
I would literally be useless for the rest of the day
@@Goghahahahahaeej yup me either i eat a lot like rice, main dish and dessert sometimes like more than regular
THESE VIDS ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! My bunny loves you still Mike!!
I agree that Totto is absolutely excellent. I tried the pork spicy paitan and it was beyond amazing. I also liked how they blow torched the porks in the bowl before serving.
Perfect timing mike! My flight to nyc leaves in a few hours🙂
Mikey: *starts sneezing because he's getting full and should probably save the last location for another day* "Alright, let's keep going!"
Corona Virus
Duuuuudeee, the production and editing has greatly improved! Love your content, thanks for you time, work and appetite!
That music, That food, omg! How could you not like this!!!

Stuff like this is the reason why Im not watching TV anymore.

Thanks mike for showing us the best resturants all over the world
This ramen video is really good. The enthusiasm about the ramen is better than the other ramen videos.
Man I love your channel but you make me so hungry everytime I watch these
I think so far.. This is the best ramen video!! THE FIRST TWO RAMENS LOOKED AMAZING
Omg! Your facial expressions alone made me drool for these ramen. I live in California and now wish I was a New Yorker😛
Pamela Malcolm you could just go to New York.
CaramelFlan OfSecrets your right but I’m a poor Mom. Not enough 💵. But I’d LOVE to visit NY, such an interesting city. ☺️
Pamela Malcolm I hated living in New York it's definitely a nice place to visit though
I live right across the Pulaski bridge from Mu Ramen and I'd never heard about them until I watched your video. Definitely going to check them out tomorrow! Thanks, Mikey!!!
Watching someone else eat ramen was the best Christmas present I got this year :)
man who is a man Christmas is not about presents so quit ur griping
Totally agree with you manwhoisaman. Mikey is the gift that keeps giving.
I respect him so much for going out and recording himself eat and not even caring that he has ppl giving him death stares
I love RAMEN!!!!!
First time in NYC, i had my little guide book and they recommended Totto's ramen. It's really small, but i was alone so i sat at the counter and took the best seller.

Dont ever stop eating ramen at restaurants, i look forward to these videos. your best video is the Ichiran Ramen video from Japan.
"THE RETURN OF THE BROTH" coming to a theater near you
Wow, I chuckled when you said '' it felt like you were cheating on it with other Ramen places'' Mikey you leave me in stitches...
Mike, though it's apparent that you love and are open to all styles of ramen I hope you get to go to Hakata one day (gauging from your reactions to Tonokotsu and heavier styles of ramen). It will literally CRUSH every kind of ramen you have ever had both in the US and in Japan (you'll see that Ichiran is nothing compared to TRUE kyushu style ramen).
First of all, your Channel is amazing and it makes me even more excited to go to all these Asian countries and Asian influenced places. So thank you for doing what you’re doing
Mike did you just have 3 bowls of Ramen at once completely? :O
I'm moving to New York soon and I really love ramen so thank you for helping me

After my gut explosion, I went to Hide Chan and the Shoryu was overloaded with their Chashu as the taste just smothered your souls with its Soy based marinade in the Chashu.
bro at 2:06 was getting ready to ask for a bite
I can’t believe you were literally next door at Mu ramen and I missed you!!!!! My husband and I really enjoy your videos, please keep the videos coming and hopefully we will get to meet you one day~
I tend to focus more on the people in the background seeing how awkward it is having you film yourself eat and talk about food to yourself lol!!
Yooo same 😩
this guy already has a bigger appetite then i will ever have keep the good work dude i love your vids
I wish there was someone brave enough to start making ramen as a "must holidays dish!!" 😒😒😄👍
Anna Hollenback -Then do it. Just decide on a flavor profile that either complements or derives from a popular holiday dish. Stuffing with sage is probably at the top, so how about a sagey dish with ham or turkey, celery and onion. Play with it.

2:40 am and I’m starving now after watching this video. I love ramen. Been a while since I had a bowl of it
“I’m just gonna sit here for a while and remember this bowl”
(Proceeds to move on with another bowl)
I adore your noodle videos. Keep up the great job
You never fail to get my mouth to water haha, love your vids bro.
Just happened to wander into Totto ramen a few weeks ago... Loved it 😋😋😋😋
