I love Korean food. I was stationed in SK many years ago and revisited several times as a Reservist. Once on the ground I chose, for good reason, to eat nothing but Korean cuisine. I am loving this series. Thank you Mike Chen.
I used to live there for a year! I was in Seoul and I loveddd it. Like you said it's supperr safe. Im a young female and i could walk around at 4am and I would still see people having a good time outside and i never felt in danger walking alone like I do in America
My son and I have been quarantining, with Covid numbers going back up in our state (Ohio). A lot of fast food pick up and getting burnt out on our staple home cooked meals. Watching these vids lets me live a little vicariously thru Mike! Also, a new Japanese place has opened up near us, and they have Tonkatsu on their menu, so now I'm excited to try it!
Lol I was cooking at home at the beginning of the lockdown but after about 3 months...I had to start getting take out... Couldn't take anymore of my cooking.... Puhahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike: "Everything you want, in your Asian life, you can find in this pot" Me: *uses chopsticks to AGGRESSIVELY fish for parents' approval of my life choices*
Even people like Matt Stonie don't always eat a lot. They have off time days where they cut down on the intake. That's why they can have days where they just go all out.
I love walking in Seoul and entering a random restaurant in a random neighborhood and having awesome meals. The best pizza and kimbap I’ve ever had were at these random places in Seoul.
That was the best advertisement for shoes I've ever watched. Now I want pair of Vessis. Seems like a good shoe to use when you're walking around a huge city all day, exploring.
Hi - I live in Vancouver, Canada where Vessi the company started. I own a pair and can say that they're great. One thing to watch out though, after 1 year there's a chance that it can start to leak but just contact customer service and they'll send you another pair. Hope this helps
mikey the look on your face when your told you get free refill of noodles was like pure joy and excitement. i've watched that part a few times now and it's still so fun to watch, it's like a kid being told he's going to disneyland or something
@@MikeyChenX I could handle that. A stream everyone watching the same movie together. You'd need to send out munchie boxes ahead of time. So we could pig out with Mikey! 😃😃😃
It’s actually crazy that i live in korea and mikey just goes to places that are sooo popular these days i guess it’s bcuz of his local(?) friends...thx to them
One of my favourite places in seoul is "Insadong garlic bossam" or "인사동마늘보쌈" I had it once 2 years ago and it stayed with me until today, I seriously think of it at least once a week. It was that good. Their pajeon, the white kimchi, bossam, and that garlic sauce together are just magic in your mouth. Hiiiighly recommend it.
Mikey: I am gonna take some time off and post less. Also Mikey: *Uploads loads of Yummy Korean food videos that makes me wanna yeet myself to South Korea*
I've eaten a lot, and I mean a LOT of tonkatsu in my life. And I have NEVER seen both that style of preparation and serving, nor katsu that juicy. It looks insane and I gotta try it at some point in my life.
Me: Literally just eat 30 minutes ago TH-cam: Mikey chen just uploaded Me: "opens the fridge" im gonna need some food for this video This is a true story LOL
That area youre staying in is actually really popular. Lots of young adults go there because its connected to the club area just a subway exit over. When I stayed there, I got 떡볶이 and 어묵 at the stand on the corner. All the food places in the area are amazing!
i am about to drop everything and go to South Korea and EAT every meal you've eaten there so far. Love the videos Mikey!! I click on them right away :))))
I love your travels Mikey, especially being able to see all the incredibly yummy foods you eat...I think what I love about your channel is just how much you love food and the way you articulate the flavours & feels... I feel like I'm experiencing the deliciousness through you! Love it 💖
As I work from home and stare at excel sheets, it is comforting to watch Mikey eat food and travel...I can't explain it. Maybe it is the fact that he is living his dream of travel and food and it is nice to know that someone out there is doing that for a living.
Hey Mikey I love watching your videos some of my favorite are the Korean bbq and hotpot ,and can you believe I’ve never had either 😲 I myself am a TH-camr and would love my first time eating those with you . What do you think ??
I would love to travel to South Korea the people are so nice and the food looks amazing, they have a lovely culture, just looks like a brilliant country to visit
I love your expression when you eat something that is so good your brain hasn't caught up to your tastebuds :) It all looked so delicious. I always enjoy your videos, even though I could never eat most of it (gluten free due to wheat allergy) Stay safe Mike!
I just can’t get enough of your videos. Can you try making your videos longer like 30 minutes or more. It’s so mouth watering just watching you eat. Your description of the food you are eating almost feel like I can almost taste it. Great job! 👍I always look forward seeing your videos everyday. Keep up the good work!
Mikey I would happily watch you just explore your new neighborhood all day (pharmacy, bookstore, whatever!). Also, have to tell you that my pup LOVES the plush Dumpling - he only gets supervised play with it since it’s not pet safe. You should make a line of pet toys! 🐶
Its good for Mikey to approach comfort food he likes so much pizza hotpot pork cutlet dumplings and maratang. Good to see you are enjoying your stay here. But I also hope someone could take you outside the usual comfort zone for more exotic food adventure in Korea.
Just in time to eat hibachi noodles hibachi fried rice and garlic chicken and watching Mikey there's no better combination in the world great video. Stay healthy
The Korean katsu game is actually pretty strong nowadays I’m so glad Mikey got to try it! Try the deungshim katsu next time, you get a portion of fat at the end which gives extra flavor.
Hey Mikey,it would be so cool for you try to the spicy tonkatsu challenge in Korea!! Please try the challenge before you leave korea😁😁 love your videos so much 🥰
You seem really happy and bubbly. I'm glad to see you're enjoying your time in Seoul. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I've lived there for most of my life but only know a handful of places you've been too. I should check them out next time I go back. Stay safe and healthy!
Thank you promoting Vessi shoes.. Im searching for a new pair of sneakers.. Working & commuting in KL during raining season sux.. Both of my sneakers are drench from the rain.. 😅
Due to the travel ban, I've been living vicariously through your videos, Mikey. I'm in the Philippines and tourist visas going to S. Korea are cancelled at the moment. Korea is like my second home and I used to stay in Hongdae quite often. I love getting glimpses of the streets and different spots in the Hongdae/Hapjeong/Sinchon areas while you walk around. I totally jumped in excitement when you went to Quiche Mignon!! I've hung out there once or twice. :) By the way, in case you decide to visit the Philippines again, I'd be more than happy to show you more of the insane dishes that we have out here! Please try to extend your stay in Korea...for my sake...uhm, and yours too! MABUHAY! And keep eating...fighting!!
I just ate at Lahuogongfu near our school last night (it's a franchise store) and I think it is the best Malatang place in Seoul! I tried other Malatang places but I always go back to Lahuogongfu :)
Another shine in my covid world how nice :) Thank you mike! Watching mike's vedio in seoul while he flims in seoul makes me ironic but happy anyway :))))
This has nothing to do with nothing but.... your shirt at the beginning of the video is awesome and a great shade of red on you! Oh and thanks for the upload!
You eat pudding the same way I do! My family always bugged me about turning the spoon upside down to eat it, but I think it tastes better that way. Glad to know I’m not alone.
Mikey I just want to thank you! You bring so mich Joy with your Videos! Siting home in quarantaine seeing you Videos and knowing that there is hope to get out again. ♥️
The size of Mikey's eyes when he incredulously asked, "Free refills on noodles?!" 😲
hahaha.. That's funny and so true.
I love how he asked his friend "dessert?" You'll hear the politeness and how gentleman he is 🥺🥺
OMG a cup of heaven! Thank you for visiting us and also thank you so much for calling our tea 'heaven.' Plz do visit us one more time....! Thanks!!!

@Al Gernon Thank you, and you stay safe as well! Yes, we are just north of downtown Cincinnati. Happy Holidays!
Mike: "Everything you want, in your Asian life, you can find in this pot"
Me: *uses chopsticks to AGGRESSIVELY fish for parents' approval of my life choices*
This comment is very under appreciated
" I don't really want to eat too much for lunch." Mikeys been replaced by a clone.
@TED z CLONECEPTION!
Even people like Matt Stonie don't always eat a lot. They have off time days where they cut down on the intake. That's why they can have days where they just go all out.
Guess we all noticed
Pretty sure he meant for his first lunch, the other lunches following that doesnt count
Chris Lim I think it was a joke
I love walking in Seoul and entering a random restaurant in a random neighborhood and having awesome meals. The best pizza and kimbap I’ve ever had were at these random places in Seoul.
That's cool.
That was the best advertisement for shoes I've ever watched. Now I want pair of Vessis. Seems like a good shoe to use when you're walking around a huge city all day, exploring.
Absolutely agree, Mickey is so genuine too and showing the video under the tap! Amazing

@@justinlee4957 What, they'll send you with a new one? Free of charge?
Is it some kind of guarantee system?
Tbf i think hes never worn a good cushiony shoes. So i think this is still just a regular pair compared to Ultraboosts or Reacts.
I can honestly say I LOVE these shoes. I also LOVE walking in the rain haha so no more wet socks
Seoul: the place where you can never run out of food options! 😋 Yum!! Thanks for taking us with you! 💜
mikey the look on your face when your told you get free refill of noodles was like pure joy and excitement. i've watched that part a few times now and it's still so fun to watch, it's like a kid being told he's going to disneyland or something
i dont know why, but your videos always makes me happy. I cant get the food, i want to. still making me happy. Thanks
Your videos make my day. I had days where i had trouble eating. But when i watch you, i get hungry and eat with you. Plz never change.
You should do a “Day in my Life when I’m not filming” again!
it'll be me just on the floor with anime on
"A day in the life of Mikey not filming" is a day in the life of Mikey filming.
Always a Treat watching your Videos... Stay Safe !!!
@@MikeyChenX I watched Holidate as well but kinda enjoyed Hubie Halloween a bit more ...... Marco......🔥
@@MikeyChenX I could handle that. A stream everyone watching the same movie together.
You'd need to send out munchie boxes ahead of time. So we could pig out with Mikey! 😃😃😃
It’s actually crazy that i live in korea and mikey just goes to places that are sooo popular these days i guess it’s bcuz of his local(?) friends...thx to them
I'm surprised you didn't combine the chocolate pudding with the ice cream. That hot pot place with the fresh handmade noodles looked insanely good.
oh I did....later. So good i finished it before thinking about filming 😋
the reaction to the free refill of noodles :P true happiness right there.
One of my favourite places in seoul is "Insadong garlic bossam" or "인사동마늘보쌈" I had it once 2 years ago and it stayed with me until today, I seriously think of it at least once a week.

Hiiiighly recommend it.
We have a large Korean community in Atlanta and their cafe's are some of the best
Indeed. I love Tree Story by the Duluth H Mart. Such a tranquil place. The garlic breads are amazing af.
Korean coffee shops are the answer to what is best in life. No country can compare to this Korean art.
Amsterdam: Hold my joint
lol
@@stianaslaksen5799 hahah no one wants drugs in Korea
His laugh is everything.
Mikey: I am gonna take some time off and post less.
Also Mikey: *Uploads loads of Yummy Korean food videos that makes me wanna yeet myself to South Korea*
Me too! Yeeet!
If Mikey says something is spicy, then you know its atomic
when i was half way through the vid i got hungry and remembered that i have ice cream in the fridge now im eating with mike
I've eaten a lot, and I mean a LOT of tonkatsu in my life. And I have NEVER seen both that style of preparation and serving, nor katsu that juicy. It looks insane and I gotta try it at some point in my life.
Me: Literally just eat 30 minutes ago
TH-cam: Mikey chen just uploaded
Me: "opens the fridge" im gonna need some food for this video
This is a true story LOL
Seriously metwo! we indians eat at 8.30 and go to bed at 9
Before our parents come hunting us to go to bed
@Levi Akerman same

Same! 🤣 i have to eat something when i watch his videos. 🤣
Lol the struggle
Just had Korean bbq today so I’m not starving while watching this 😄
Mikey's expressions after taking a bite... priceless and adorable.
That area youre staying in is actually really popular. Lots of young adults go there because its connected to the club area just a subway exit over. When I stayed there, I got 떡볶이 and 어묵 at the stand on the corner. All the food places in the area are amazing!
Everything looks so yummy!
Korea looks so peaceful and normal.
I can't wait to visit Korea again. =)
I have a confession............
I'm vegetarian....but I love Mike's videos......Mike .....🤣🤣
we welcome you!
Half of that pizza was for you. 🙂
@@MikeyChenX thanks
Girl I am too and have still been watching so long I remember when Mike disliked boba in the Double Chen days
me too! I think his videos are just fun to watch. have watch most yploads from this channel and strictly dumpling
I’m Korean and yes I love this kinda of hot pot 😭 miss it SO MUCH, I sometime make it at home here in Canada but never tasted the same.
Only thing on my bucket list, to eat a meal with you Mikey ☺️

This video is like a dumpling 🥟......smooooth and deliciously entertaining 😍⭐️ Cheers Mike! ❤️
I'm so happy you're having a good time. So, the quarantine was worth it, I guess?
If I could, I’d so move to South Korea!!!!
I must say Mikey...all your eating companions are a perfect match for you..whether male or female..the ladies always surprise me😁😁
Yessir it’s the best time of the day when mike posts!! It Brings light to my fat in this dark dark time
Ooooo the holographic drink holder for that milk tea is sooooo cute!!!!
I love your expression when you eat something that is so good your brain hasn't caught up to your tastebuds :) It all looked so delicious. I always enjoy your videos, even though I could never eat most of it (gluten free due to wheat allergy) Stay safe Mike!
The weather in Korea its getting cold these days
winter is coming, keep warm and stay safe

OMG!! That’s the neighborhood i live in at the area in the beginning of the video
Yess, always a good day when I get to catch your newly uploaded video before most people
10:34 "This is like Morgan freeman's voice"😆
Mike: "It's like a cup of heaven."

15:46 "Alice and I have been dating for like a week"
Yes, Mike FINALLY! I'm so happy for him!!!
He said "eating" and not "dating"
He says eating 😆
@@christinenguyen5598 Oh... :(
Waking up to a new Mike post makes my day start off great. 🌞

Just in time to eat hibachi noodles hibachi fried rice and garlic chicken and watching Mikey there's no better combination in the world great video. Stay healthy
WOAH not expecting a Saturday morning treat :)
Hot is the best for this cold weather
If the spice level makes Mike cough...I would die!! 😂😂
You might have killed poor Thomas. He was so young, be kind Mike not everyone can eat 5 meals in a sitting!
he was a warrior!
Hold up, "was"?
@@MikeyChenX Hi Mikey Chen how are you I am Zack from Malaysia I really want to see you play the AMONG US game in your next video pls

Mike having a salad pizza. Now i have seen everything in my life 🤣.
Love from India
Ey that Korean air hit different look at Mikey's skin he glowing right now 💯👌

go out and eat! be safe tho
Great timing! For once i’ll be eating while watching instead of watching when starving in bed
Your so lucky to travel around korea and eat all their amazing food....👍🏽👏👋
I’m glad that Mike feels safe and at home in Korea. It must be because he’s part Korean lol.
fried rice is a MUST
Hey Mikey, can you please visit restaurants owned by celebrity chefs in korea? I really want to know what you think about their foods
Thank you promoting Vessi shoes.. Im searching for a new pair of sneakers.. Working & commuting in KL during raining season sux.. Both of my sneakers are drench from the rain.. 😅

I always tend to be eating food when I find out you uploaded a video. Always good to be doing so otherwise I would be hungry watching your videos.
What a blessing to enjoy life doing what you enjoy!! Your videos are AWESOME on every channel!!!
I just ate at Lahuogongfu near our school last night (it's a franchise store) and I think it is the best Malatang place in Seoul! I tried other Malatang places but I always go back to Lahuogongfu :)
Another shine in my covid world how nice :)
Thank you mike!
Watching mike's vedio in seoul while he flims in seoul makes me ironic but happy anyway :))))
That pork looked just like the stuff I had in Kyoto last year at this small restaurant that my ryokan recommended. Amazing stuff.
Watching Mikey while eating Bojangles...can't watch him without food, not humanly possible
I really like how you describe the food that you eat. Thank you for all your videos.
Mickey you should make another 7-11 video . Love them
Watched Holidate last week. Was a good movie 👍🏻
Your videos made me miss South Korea definitely coming back there to travel and shoot street photography!
Every each food in this video looks so awesome 😍
I had a trip booked to Seoul for this past May, and watching videos like this is so bittersweet. Hoping to go next summer or fall
Mike: "Free re-fill of noodles . . .?!"
Mike saying to himself, "that's music to my ears"
always watch mikey when i have food!
Mikey, your videos are better than Saturday morning cartoons..probably taste better too! Korean pizza? I've seen everything.
I think you are blessed mikey, even you go to random restaurant, most of the time you always have the best food surprisingly. ✨
This has nothing to do with nothing but.... your shirt at the beginning of the video is awesome and a great shade of red on you!
Oh and thanks for the upload!
Yummmm! That all looks delicious. These are my comfort videos. Thank you for the content.
Love Vessi!!! Honestly my fav shoes right now!!!
Yeah! We r both in Korea now!!
You eat pudding the same way I do! My family always bugged me about turning the spoon upside down to eat it, but I think it tastes better that way. Glad to know I’m not alone.
