Don’t know why I enjoy watching someone eat, but I really enjoy these videos. I’m never going to get to go any of these places(I’m 78 and disabled) but I watch all these videos.
Me too I don't get it looks good
aww so glad to see a lot of people like us
also I'm 87 and deaf, glad to know you guys😀
Everytime I sit down and eat when I'm by myself I'm always watching Mikey 😁 we eat together so I don't eat alone haha
Awe that's cool! Hope everyone is doing fine. Much love from the Philippines.
Banh xeo , is more of a “pancake or crepe” . The yellow colour comes from turmeric not egg.. so delicious 🤤 glad you like it!!!!
Oh man this makes me miss Kim Son so much 😭
The crab noodle soup you had is called bún riêu it’s a tomato based soup with minced crab cakes and tofu, probably one of the best noodle soups there (in my opinion)
I love Kim Son, i’ve been to several weddings at their banquet hall. Houston has a huge vietnamese population and they contribute so much to our vibrant and beautiful Houstonian food scene
lol Kim son sucks 😂
The steam rice cake with coconut in South side Viet Nam we call it “bánh đúc”. It’s a firmer version and different than the North side’s “bánh đúc” which is more loose and sticky. We use it with sweet fish sauce, fry futons, scallion oil and pickles make from radish and carrot .
Vietnamese really put their heart and soul into their food. There is so much flavor. It rarely disappoint.
H-Town represent!
I wish Les Givral's was open right now so he could try them out. They're some of the best Vietnamese in town.
Also in Houston you guys have to check out Siu Lap City, Spicy Girl, or Cooking Girl if you're in that area.
Les girvals has the best fried rice
Hey Mike, there's actually 3 K-BBQ restaurants in the St Louis area, Joo Joo, Wudon and Seoul Garden. I highly recommend going to Wudon, its absolutely amazing food.
Hey have you tried S.O.S takeout? It's suppose to be a more traditional koren takeout restaurant. It's literally a 5 min drive from fire chicken just haven't had the chance to try it yet!
I came here to say WUDON again. It's our favorite place!!!
I was living in cali, and most viet restaurant there you wont see any korean eat there, but u will see a lot of vietnamese eating in a korean restaurant, what does that tell you? The korean they dont support the vietnamese restaurant or the supermarket, they will shop and eat in their own korean market.
Also live in St Louis and was about to list these options. Originally from Chicago so do feel the pain of less options but slowly more have been added. Highly recommend S.O.S takeout right down the street.
Frozen Custard and ice cream related. Recommend Mr. Wizards off big bend blvd, love their custard and have tried a couple. Make sure to try Clementines Nice and Naughty and not sure if you have heard about a unique place called Ices Plain and Fancy. Very new option is a food truck Sugarwitch. Homemade ice cream bars.
I remembered going to big wedding events at Kim Sơn and the restaurant even came to Austin for some catering events . Kim Sơn Buffet will definitely be on my top restaurant option for my 40th!🤗
Have been in bed very ill with my kidney failure and these videos get me through my day❤️
Get well soon
I hope you feel better soon 💙
Feel better soon.
I love the new vibe when you dine with Christine because she responds and recommends stuff you love. I love when you talk to us but this is better ❤❤
I like how the server just scoops the beef without the broccoli for him lol
Broccoli beef without broccoli is the best kind of broccoli beef.
Kim Son is always crowded. And their dim sum is awesome. When Covid is behind us, It is on my return to list
Covid is never leaving, it will be in rotation every year like the flu.
We must fight the New World Order.
If you are reading this, you are the resistance.
@@JohnZeroSignal We need people to be vaccinated to reduce the rapid spread and the continuous new strains. Just like with the flu. Christ sake.
@@jennynguyen2823 Sure, but not everyone got their flu shots either. We can't be wearing masks forever, and we also can't live in fear if the vaccines provide the protection they claim.
From Mike to Mike: come to OKC, Oklahoma since you're so close in TX! I recommend Goro ramen, Clark crew BBQ, and crawfish pot! Clark crew BBQ was started by a jack Daniels world championship team! They got wagyu brisket!
STL native here. We have Korean BBQ. There are atleast 3 worthwhile Korean stops you need to make.
Joo Joo’s, U-City Grill, and Wudon BBQ.
I still can't believe after all the month's I'm watching your channel how much you can eat and after all that you go for dessert 😂 i can never do that in a million years 🤔
You totally missed the Vietnamese buffet in Richardson, TX called Da Nang soup house. Definitely not as big as Kim Son in Houston. However it hits the spot when I’m DFW
You have no idea how happy I am that you’re in Texas and Houston Mikey 😍😍😍
Mikey really is living his best life ❤️
Nice to see him following the lead of Danny from Rate My Takeaway with the lawn chair 😉
You HAVE to check out the BBQ places in Lockhart, Texas. It is The Barbecue Capital of Texas. Kreuz Market, Smitty’s Market, Black’s Barbecue, and Chisholm Trail BBQ are all located there. Also huge tip is to bring cash some of those places don't take credit cards.
You need to check out The Blind Goat in Houston! It’s a Vietnamese restaurant and the executive chef is blind. Her name is Christine Ha and she won Masterchef season 3
Love from houston ♥️♥️ gotta love our Chinatown and tacos...and bbq..lol
Seoul Garden has bbq, and Sides of Seoul is east on Page from where you ate, they do really good banchan and gimbap. There's also a Bb.Q chicken (Korean fried chicken chain featured in King: Eternal Monarch) location in O'Fallon, IL. Many Vietnamese and Thai will be on South Grand, try Pho Grand in particular. Pearl Cafe on Lindbergh for Thai. Haveli on Page avenue for Indian. Chinese restaurants abound on Olive. Mai Lee (Vietnamese) in Brentwood. Corner 17 (Chinese) on Delmar. Your gf is just not as dialed into the food as someone who's lived here a while. We know where to eat!
American bbq: Pappy's and Sugar Fire. Mexican: Amigo Joe's (best fried chicken in the city, they fry in lard).
I second all of these!
Except Corner 17! I think they dived hard with the new management. I vote for U-City Grill, if you're in the Loop!
Yo Mike! Maybe you should do a series of "All You Can Eat" episode yah!! Yum 😋😋😋😋😋
I would love to do a food tour, just drive across the country and stop in every state for there best dish.
Mikey, dude you got me slobbering after watching this episode. Well consider that I am still up at 5:50a doing papers, and yes I am hungry. lol I would have to put this down on my bucket list and travel to Houston and my family and i to eat at these restaurants that you show on here. Thank you again!
If you come back to Maryland, there are a few places you need to try. Hahn's in Westminster for a Rubicon sandwich, Hoffman's (also in Westminster) for ice cream, and Beseto Korean food hall in Catonsville. The same shopping center has Jamaican, Vietnamese and Chinese food, plus a crepe restaurant.
Kim son is usually packed for the weekend for the dim sum! I used to eat there almost every other week when I was younger
LOL, I love how he calls Tyler, Texas a city of 150,000 a "little" town.
Next time you’re in Houston go to Corkscrew BBQ in Spring, north Houston area outside the woodlands!! It won’t disappoint
As a Houston native you need to try Vietnamese crawfish. Crawfish Cafe or Crawfish and Noodles are the best in my opinion!
I been here with my sister when I visited her back in 2017, I didn't eat much as it was a lot of foods to choice from, maybe next time if I go there again, I will try to eat as much as possible
I miss eating in buffet 😔 We always do that when we have a celebration or birthday i remember on my 18th bday i was like I WANT TO GO TO A BUFFET and celebrate with my family and it was so amazing. ❤️
Your egg tart joke got me good. This is just the video I needed on a rainy day in Washington.
If, you ever find your way back around Tyler, you should try the ribs at Ribmasters in Whitehouse, TX.
Banh Xeo is actually a vietnamese pancake and that flat streamed rice dumpling in banana leaf is called Banh Nam 😋
If you ever eat any steamed savory banh dishes, try just scooping it into your small ball then pour over your fish sauce. Then you can just scoop it all in with your chopsticks and sip on the sweet sweet fish sauce
I'm from the Fort Worth area of Texas but have been stuck here in Peru for almost 5 years without leaving it's borders. I miss the food in Texas sooooo much. Definately want to try this place out if I ever return to my home state.
I love how Mike just casually says "and of course pieces of blood in here as well" like... duh. Blood. Of course.
Haha, i kinda understand your expression, but tbf to Mike, that piece of blood is always part of that dish, along with the crab cake, fried tofu. I m a Vietnamese, and that piece of blood is part of many of our dishes, noodles, it tastes good ofc if you are familiar with the culture and some dishes.
Definitely I going to this place on next trip.
Since I discovered you, your tour is addictive. I love buffets and hopefully will visit some of the places you visited on your food tour. Cheers
Great idea with the lawn chairs Mike. I’d hate to put that mess on my hood. Another great video. 👍🏼
I love your videos!!! I also love that not only did you find your travel partner but your food, love, and life partner!!
KIM SƠN cái tên nghe qua làm tui nhớ tới Hoa Lư, Ninh Bình - nơi thuở xưa vua Đinh dựng nước, nơi có nhà thờ Đá Phát Diệm tuyệt đẹp mà vợ chồng tui đã đến thăm. Rồi khi bước chân vào Kim Son Restaurant tọa lạc tại 10603 Bellaire Blvd, Houston TX - đại lộ Sài Gòn, tui nghe tên thôi đã cảm thấy thân thương, không gian nhà hàng giữa nước Mỹ và trên tường treo tranh ảnh là NÉT VIỆT: con sông, buông lưới, chèo đò, cô áo dài gánh hàng ra chợ sớm mai…
Món ăn ở đây rất hợp khẩu vị với vợ chồng tui, bánh xèo, bánh bèo, nậm lọc, bánh khọt… chân gà chua ngọt, tôm cua rang me, xôi chiên, thịt bò, heo, gà vịt, bún bò, sushi, chè đủ món… nhân viên phục vụ dễ thương và nhanh nhẹn.
Ngồi ăn mà tui thấy quá nên thơ nhưng không biết làm thơ, thôi thì ghép chữ có chút vần:
Tranh quê ai gắn lên tường
Cho ai thương nhớ giọt bùi phù sa
Bao năm vất vả đường xa
Trong tim luôn nhớ quê hương mãi là…
Mần mấy câu chữ xong đọc qua cũng gần giống thơ chứ không phải ba lơn, chưa kịp ngừng lại thì vợ mang tới món ngon mà tui mê, vì lúc ở Sài Gòn tui mần culi cho Nhật Bản nên ăn Hoài, đó là sushi… và tui lại ghép chữ tiếp 2 câu:
Nâng niu hạt Ngọc đất trời
Bao đời gieo gặt được mùa bội thu.
Tui tìm hiểu thì chủ Kim Son Restaurant chia sẻ: “Mama La” is the secret ingredient behind each of our KIM SON Restaurants. Born in Vietnam, Kim Su Tran La, her husband and their seven children, arrived in Houston in 1980 after fleeing from Communist regime in their homeland. Armed with her extensive knowledge of Vietnamese cooking, which was passed down to her from her mother-in-law, Mama La managed to memorize over 250 recipes before opening the first KIM SON Restaurant. Her food quickly gained the following of thousands of fans along with the admiration and loyalty of many of Vietnam’s top restaurant cities. The original KIM SON was located in Vinh Long before it was eventually closed due to the communist takeover in Vietnam.

I really like you with another person doing normal every day things like the car wash. I think we’d watch you pretty much doing anything and enjoy it
As usual Mikey, you are awesome. I love your videos so much! The food you had in the beginning didn't seem to be Korean food, but what do I know? hehee Looks good.
We eat at Kim Son once a month. Fabulous food. Thx for the video.
perfect video after my surgery thanks mikey!
He travels the country and the world all the time and he's worried about a packed restaurant?? LMAO!!
NEVER CHANGE MIKE!! WE LOVE YOU!
Kinda blew my mind when I saw Stanley's. Tyler is my home town.. enjoy!
Some of these dishes you have to try with Vietnamese garlic and chili fish sauce or rice. You can't just eat it by itself, it'll be too salty or too plain.
Vietnamese food is delicious, I love how aromatic and so flavourful their broths are. Everything looks fantastic 😍😋
you need to try county line(specifically the one on the river for its jalapeno cheddar sausage) and Valentina's because its a BBQ tex-mex restaurant that matches up to franklins
the 'vietnamese omelet' ban xeo (banh see-ye-o... don't emphasize the o much) is good with peanut sauce
has Mike eaten anything that he didn’t like? I find it almost impossible to believe as much as i like his videos/ critics
Just watch his video with the entire Whataburger menu. 😂
U got the best soups! Bun bo hue and bun riêu!! Ur awesome love the content Mikey!
Mike if you come out to Houston again, come by Flip n’ Patties off Eldridge Pkwy.
The fact that Mikey found someone who’s willing to sit on folding chairs by the trunk and eat some yummy Korean food. You know she’s a keeper lol
Was
Please go to Siu Lap City, Ms. Siagon Cafe and Nipon all in Houston and they're Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese all in order. I have no food recommendations because everything at these places are beyond expectations.
i live in tyler tx, SOOO Huge That He Came Down Here‼️‼️💙💙
hey Mike, there are several korean food here in stl .. wudon is a korean bbq, asian kitchen is korean restaurant too and if you want a quick korean food , try Side of Seoul
Asian fighting for sea food is the most hilarious thing you can ever see
I kinda miss living near the Houston area, there's definitely a lot of diverse foods there compared to North Texas, next time you're in Fort Worth try Dayne's Craft bbq off West 6th, or Heim BBQ of Mockingbird, both are in downtown.
I like vietnamese food, but haven't been able to find a buffet? Good video!
Stopping by at Migo Saigon Food Street one day . That’s Vietnamese Ramen .
I feel like the days just go slower without a new vid from Mikey
I'm guessing the very last place he briefly stops at, is Saigon Block in Arapaho Road, Richardson... right?
There is deaf people trying to see what you say and I am the one in billions that's watching you mike
Apparently the serve you a giant plate of crawfish so you dont have to fight anyone!!
I didn’t realize Kim son had a buffet, I’ve always ate at the one next to Minute Maid park
Hey you should try wudon off of olive and fee fee. Its a Korean BBQ.
“dumplings in the trunk”
My brain: trunklings
Pineapple coconut good and gather sparkling water is soooo goood
Gosh... those food are just amusing! Nice Video. But whenever Mike put tons of Saracha in the broth, it's really hard to be convinced that it's a good noodle/broth. And I think "Wives cake"(?) are made from winter-melon paste. I wish there's a Vietnamese buffet here.
Wow that’s crazy Tyler i might have to try a out the bbq
There were a ton of vietnamese and korean places back in the Kansas city area!
FYI the Kim Son place have different dishes on different days of the week so you missed out on a lot stuff
Hoping to see you and Lisa Nguyen collab for Vietnamese food someday 🙂
Covid is here forever, Mikey will have to reconcile his fear of being around a large amount of people.
True. All that can be done has been done. We all just need to get on with our lives now. 😉👍🏻
Good afternoon Mr Chen you and your beautiful lady enjoy your meals
Love the little car wash vibe session 🤗
no dessert? yo kim son has so many different types of CHE and vietnamese dessert and ice cream!
did you not see them?
While your in Missouri you should go to Springfield MO and get Springfield style cashew chicken. Only found in Springfield
Nobody can pull off getto dining like Micky
I like Andy’s frozen custard better than Ted Drewes. You can find good desserts that not overly sweet at La Bonne Bouchee Patisserie & Cafe. And if you haven’t tried Mai Lee, I highly recommend 👌🏼
Love watching your videos 🖤
I love that you have a gf now, congrats!❤️
oh so she's Korean!!
Next time you in Houston you have to try Q Wings Seafood and Boba
You need to go back and do this place again. This wasn't long enough
My husband's hometown Tyler Texas 😍
Famous for the Rose Garden and Stanley's BBQ 😍😍😍😍
Ya should of had the Frito Pie & a stuffed tater 🙌😋😘
Car wash visuals I LOVE
Woah~~ been to Kim Son since I was a kid. Recently haven't been there but a lot of the food has changed. Before the food was average as best now I might wanna go back
I love Vietnamese food
Please check out the food truck scene in the Lou! Guerilla Street food, K-Bop and Seoul Taco are delicious!
The beef and broccoli, hold the broccoli 🥦 🤣
curious about his covid anxieties if he's bothered to even get vaccinated...seems like he hasn't while traveling a whole ton
Mike really love Korean lol now I understand why he loves Korean food and k drama nice
finally my home town
i feel bad when i go to the local pho place and clear them out of the garlic chili paste and most of the hot oil (hot oil on request). they automatically bring the hot oil now. i love my spicy.
