Hi! So to clarify some confusion: When I said in the video I mentioned Christine before, it was a video filmed before this one but because I suffer from Dumbplingnitis I published it out of order 😬 so that one will be published later. Also Christine will appear on the channel when she's ready, but yes I accidently left her in for a couple of seconds, but she said it's ok so....yay 😄 Lastly, She can OUTEAT me!
Congrats on the young lady
That ring though 🔎🤙👍😎 4:55
Naol naay gerlprend
no worries man, we aren't rushing to find out more about your personal life or anything. just happy for both of you.
Wish you all the best Mike!
Christine: "it needs your hot oil"
PERFECT MATCH INDEED😩😩😩😩
I feel like we're all Mikey's kids being introduced to our new stepmom. Haha
You are too funny
😆😆😆😆😆
Lol
Omg 🤣
True I wonder what she looks like
Mikey, this video was soooo validating. My girlfriend and I went to the Wicked Spoon about a month ago and we were revolted. I thought it might have been an off day but this just proves that the price to quality ratio was just disgusting. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Edit: In another video you were in the same parking lot as China Mama, and I will affirm that it is a good spot. Skip Wicked Spoon and go there, the experience was infinitely better.
i second this!!
Really loving how active Mikey is on posting vids lately ((:
Yesss!
He gotta feed his girl lol.
Does anyone know why he has 2 channels? I just found strictly dumpling
@@fooey88 Strictly Dumpling is Mike’s main channel. The one you’re currently watching is his vlog channel. He also has several others (Eat with Mikey, Cook with Mikey, Beyond Science, to name a few).
@@mercgurl80 oh! Good to know. Thanks.
I love how he said “we are dating” and gave the side eye. That was so funny.
When did he say that in the vid? Time?
@@trojanfan1960 within the first two minutes of the video lol
I actually thought he was just being cheeky when he said that but I realized, Mikey never flirted that far with any of his female dining companions.
Ahhh!!! Mikey!!! Congratulations!!! We are all rooting for you and your girlfriend! So subtle- the introduction :)
wait did he show her on stream?
11:51!!
@@yonirosenfeld6504 h
Now we need to convince him to have them on together best place for a date video maybe and hear both their opinion 🤔
Christine: It needs some hot oil, your hot oil
All of Mikey's followers: Awwwwww 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😍😍
Mikey's parents must be over the moon - he's dating a nice girl AND he's eating his veggies!
Such a good boy lol
He said he talked about it in another video but I can’t find it
@@Schlumeister it was his live chat Saturday where he ate kimchi
@@Schlumeister There was another video where he mentioned getting a stuffed toy from his girlfriend too, dont remember which vid tho..
Please someone tell me the name of his girlfriend
I love that Mikey's love language is, "Hey, try this food dish!"
Mike, just wanted to say I love the content you provide. You're such a kind, passionate, and entertaining person. The world is lucky to have you!
thank you Dylan! stay safe out there!
And he isn't fake, like uncle Roger. Mike condemns the Ccp like one should
@@friedsugar2701 What is wrong with fictional characters like Uncle Roger? Nigel Ng has made no secret that he is really Nigel Ng and Uncle Roger is just a comedy character of his. And what does that have to do with the CCP? Did Uncle Roger / Nigel do or say something about that?
EDIT: I just googled it. Got it. Looks like hopefully an honest mistake. Maybe Ng has learned more since then.
@@friedsugar2701 Keyboard Crusader :)
@@friedsugar2701 you gotta give it a rest dude, everybody makes mistake, get over it already.
I love how he's eating more veggies. Christine is that ray of sunshine even for the fans ahahaha
Is this the same girl from the korea bbq vlog?
Maybe he will start liking broccoli 🥦 😂
@@henry6782 I think that’s Christa I don’t think so her voice seemed different from Christine. I guess we just hve to wait ‘til she’s comfy on appearing 😂♥️♥️
@@tamaralexis9002 hahahaaha Yes. She’d prolly be like “Try it with your chilioil” She’s great at featuring his chilioils ♥️
I appreciate Mike Chen’s honesty in his reviews. He’s made me a loyal follower of his content.
It takes a lot of chemistry to put that many miles and meals in with another person. Happy for you, Mike. Congrats!
I hope you find happiness and joy in your new(ish?) relationship. Sending lots of happy thoughts and wishes your way.
jealous?
@@cliffordwilson8070 huh?
thanks
@@Kraunn my comment is right above yours if you need to read it again
@@cliffordwilson8070 how are they jealous though lol im so confused
Mikey raising awareness on what's really happening in China that no one dares to talk about raised my respect to him in nth level! thank you for opening the eyes of the many about the oppression that exists. no one should be persecuted for exercising their basic human rights.
Being in a relationship really suits you. You look very happy. The camera doesn't lie.
When he is happy he eats very fast and talk very fast and less on food introduction 😁
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are really happy for you Mike. You are literally glowing in this video😊
Mikey, I’m not a regular commenter, but I love your activism and bringing to light what is going on in China. Thank you for sharing it with us.
In TX there’s a restaurant called “My Lan” that also serves those “crispy” noodles with seafood and veggies that is really great.
Now will be looking forward to the food AND a gf cameo. So happy for you!!
He pans around and see her in the passenger seat at the cliff dwellers spot lol. Probably better off keeping her sparsely in videos, some people nowadays have no respect or concept of boundaries.
Chris says the guy commenting about his personal life. 🤣🤣🤣
He has already showed her in a video
@@blackmantis3130 which one?
@@reyanaganguly7650 on his other channel. Strictly dumpling
Hey Mikey! I just wanted to say how awesome it was to meet you in DC! I love your videos and you truly make me smile everytime I see a video pop up! You are such an amzing person and I wish you best of luck out there eating all the food you can!
"dirty rice is just fried rice, anyway we are dating-" smooth JASHFBHWJEKFDWSKJ
Mikey, I have been watching you for several years now. And I know you like your dishes really spicy. But I find your addiction to noodles very entertaining. You have taught me a lot about them, and inspired me to try new things.
I’ve heard about Wicked Spoon buffet pre covid but we never have enough time (and Bacchanal was always our first stop). Thanks for the review! Hoping to bump into you (and your special someone) one of these days, Mikey!
@@owenzhang2607 😂 True. That’s his greatest love!
Btw so happy for my comment to get a ❤️ from Mikey (finally! lol). big fan here, next goal is to get Mikey’s pic or video w me and my husband 😊
Congrats to you and Christine wishing y'all lots of happiness 💜 She is stunning!!!
You have inspired me to seek out and find so many great cuisines! Thank you, Mike!
So happy for you Mike! I’ve been a solid fan for as long as I can remember and just happy you’ve found someone! We’re excited to meet her. ❤️
I ate at Wicked Spoon about a month ago and I didn't have a good experience either. The savory food was all very dry. You could taste the heat lamps. I can't eat desserts either so I didn't get any saving graces :( I don't frown at food and I left there frowning. I'm loving the Vegas stuff. All these videos are making me want to go back and I've only been away for a week.
It's probably due to the lower traffic. The food isn't moving as fast so they aren't putting out as much and as quickly as they used to, so it ends up sitting there longer and you end up with the typical heat lamp problems.
@@ohnosmoarlulcatz Absolutely right. I work in food service management, I totally sympathize. Unfortunately for the price it feels unacceptable, even if you understand the obstacles they're facing. I had many other buffets in Vegas that didn't suffer as obviously from the lower traffic.
@@pothospathic Definitely. The $50 price tag is very high and is hard to justify, especially when they serve high fat foods that are much worse when they get cold.
not to b confused with the cereal magic spoon!
The wicked spoon has always been a must stop for me when in Vegas. I have tried going back three times in the last couple of months, and each time the food has been disappointing. Not what it used to be.
Hi Mikey! Thanks so much for posting this video and congrats on the new relationship! I actually went to the Wicked Spoon buffet a couple of days ago with a couple of friends, and honestly I wasn’t too happy either. I honestly thought the best part was the dessert (I got that lava cake four times!), and while my friends said that they loved it I just couldn’t bring myself to say that I did. I thought it was because I went to eat at CUT by Wolfgang Puck the night before and I still had high standards, but what you said truly validated my thoughts. Also they had an option of $25 extra to skip the 2.5 hour line? 🤦🏻♀️ I only truly enjoyed it because of the dessert and our waiter was an ANGEL, but I can’t say I really enjoyed the actual ~brunch~ aspect of the buffet.
Congrats on the new relationship; glad you have a eating buddy. love the honest, unbiased take on this review: I'll tell you what i like, and what sucked .that being said...my eyes could not get off your...was it cold in there or did you just come from the gym?
Get off his?
What are you on about dude? Please ecplain..... from what i rememver, It's a vlog/food channel!
His man nips could cut diamonds is what their saying 😅
I'm so happy you got a girlfriend man! I've been hoping you would. You kept me going through some dark times man, I also have trouble eating a good amount of food so watching you really helped me to eat more and open up to eating new things! You deserve to be happy! Thanks for everything man!
You got a big heart Mike it’s good what your doing with the whole China thing awareness , respect brother god bless you it’s nice to see you so happy and enjoying life ✊🙏
Nice to hear your girlfriend’s voice. When she is ready...
So happy for you 💕 11:53 we see a glimpse of Christine, your girlfriend. She was kind that she let you keep that footage.
Thank you for your honest reviews of food. 😃 You did a great job in keeping aware of what is happening in China. ❤️
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this
Thanks for the timestamp! I feel like a creep but curiosity was killing me! :)
@@staceyn2541 My pleasure
Always makes my day to see that one of your videos has been posted!
The way Mikey said "we're dating" so casually to us fans 😂😂 💕
I actually thought he was just being cheeky when he said that but I realized, Mikey never flirted that far with any of his female dining companions.
We're going to Vegas in a few days, and this was one buffet I wanted to try. Glad I watched this first!
Saved yourself 40 bucks!!!!
Try the Bacchanal
I thought wicked spoon was better than Bacchanal try going for lunch or dinner not breakfast
@@phunghle how are the vegetarian options?? We do have one in our group and want her to enjoy as much as possible as well
@@jko7654 how are the vegetarian options??
its funny because all the other "tubers" blew that place up like "It Was Back"..thanks for being true and not fake bro cheers..
I'm so glad you're shedding light on the atrocities in China, Mikey. I will always support that. 🙏
@@jacknicholson2035 Because majority of us here are not just here for food reviews, we are interested in his life as well. You could have left after the review.
Soon Taiwan will come back to Mother Country…🇨🇳
@@RudeAwakening1971 umm no
@@RudeAwakening1971 yeah, “soon” would be unrealistic.
There’s chance of “eventually”, depending on how things go
@@RudeAwakening1971 Lol sure it will
Oh I’m so happy that you found someone to make you happy! Can’t wait for when she joins you in the videos (when she’s ready) 😀
Mikey you cracked me up with 'this egg benedict has been friends with this steak too long" I lost it lol. Okay I'm from Georgia grew up eating grits still eat them and a big NO they are not supposed to look like that. Mikey you are such a kind human!!
Great to see you've found a special someone. Loved the interaction!. It's daunting to get introduced to your parents nevermind over 1m viewers!
Oh my goodness!!! Mike she is absolutely stunning! Congratulations! I can not wait to see the food journey you two go on!
What a great video! Love the way you are introducing your gf to new foods! The happily shows on your face!
Great reviews and video as always. Your truthfulness and support of causes is refreshing!
Thank you for sharing
Speaking of spoon I ordered a few boxes of that magic spoon with your dumpling discount code thank you so much Mikey Chen 🤝
Much respect all the way from Monterey California
I tried it too. I liked the frosted ones best. Thought I would like the cocoa pb combo but the frosted was the best for me.
Thank you for bringing awareness to these events in China and of course the great food showcasing :)
That was best part of video. So many are scared too say anything for fear of losing money or access to China. Hollywood is terrifed, and will follow whatever China proclaims. I mean my god look at the disgusting apology video by John Cena for simply saying Taiwian is a independent country. Hollywood is infested with Hypocritical cowards. Mikey is legit and I applaud him for not taking the easy route.
Many blessings on your relationship Mikey, we're all happy for you. Any chance of you giving the Great White North a visit as we just reopened the boarder?
I LOVE how you don't waste food even though it would be so easy!
Your parents should be proud of you 😊
And all the best and lots of love for your relationship 🥰
11:51 he accidentally shows his girlfriend 😂
subtle flex
She’s so pretty.
We caught that too in the rent a car looking at Grand Canyon Mountains...
Accidentally on purpose ..
He could have edit that out
When you cut into that Eggs Benedict I felt it in my soul. That was terrible.
you can definitely tell mikey has a new glow to him. so happy for him and his new relationship!
I just want to thank you Mike because of you and your videos you have opened my mind to A Whole New World of Food's and things I would have not normally tried and I only have because you said they were good so I would just like to thank you! keep doing what you're doing I love your videos thank you for being you and thank you for sharing your videos and experiences with us God bless you and your family and all that watch.
Congrats on your relationship. Thanks also for your honest review, my wife talked about going there. She went there ages ago when they opened, but this is sad and revolting. You saved us some 40 bucks each.
Mikey! I'm a longtime lurker but not a commenter, but I had to stop and say I'm very happy for your relationship! If this video is any indication, I know you guys will have a fun one.
Also, I'm really liking how you added a few non-food clips (a la Grand Canyon). Don't get me wrong, I enjoy eating at all these places through you, but it was also fun to sightsee as well 😁
You got me at there's a leek somewhere 😂 I actually laughed out loud! I'm so happy for you and Christine, Mike! You two are so adorbz! ❤️
Love how you opening up her palette to so many different cuisines, cultures and flavours. This is literally my dream. I’m such a foodie. She is so lucky to have you as a guide and partner
I didn’t have a good experience at The Wicked Spoon either. Everything was really mediocre. I think the best thing was their little fried chicken wings and that’s all. Bacchanal is still supreme 😌
Bacchanal seems more classy as well
it’s so refreshing that you can put out both entertaining videos and informative videos. rly appreciate you spreading awareness abt what’s happened/happening. keep it up! ^^
also, congrats!! so happy for you both :)
That was a really pathetic excuse for an eggs Benedict
The yolk wasn’t remotely close to being runny
overcooked eggs and an untoasted, unbuttered muffin... ihop does a better benedict than this..
As soon as I saw the yolk I was frowning. He bit more than I would have.
And where was the hollandaise??? Dried up!
Honestly as soon as I saw it I was like 🥴 what the haillll?!! 🤦🏾♀️ The sauce even looked dry. I don't even know how that's even possible.
Yeah I instantly was like wrong!
You are the reason why I have started trying other things when I go to restaurants now thank you mike you don't know how much you have enlightening me to expand my horizons and try something new.
Wicked Spoon is my favorite buffet in Vegas! It's a shame that the quality has gone down that much, especially for that price. You should really try the Oyster Bar at Palace Station. Everything they serve is really good, but you should definitely get the Palace Pan Roast.
And congrats on the new relationship! She's really pretty! I'm just surprised that she can out-eat you.
Congratulations! Happy for you ☺️! Love your vids ..live your life and thank you for taking us along!
Not gonna lie Mikey, as a guy who has been single for a long time, it's nice to see you with someone. Good for you brother. She's a pretty lady!
So happy for you & C. And thanks for the amazing food reviews. I felt the same as you about Wicked Spoon
I havent gotten to watch vids in a minute, and i almost threw my salad at hearing youre dating someome. Congrats! Hope its happy for you both!
Congratulations Mikey!! All the best to you and Christine. Looking forward to seeing her in your videos when she's ready. :)
his interactions with his gf are super cute 🥰
Has he shown us his girlfriend yet?
@@allisonjoyell1702 11:51
@@tripleblack3160 I saw half of her beautiful face 😆
I see her now. thank you
WHO! HE Mentioned he was seeing someone but no specific identity lol
I love your videos. You should be proud to say you had a bad patch. I think we have all been there. I’m so happy you have settled down. Karla xx
The last time I went to Wicked Spoon, I was more excited about their desserts than their actual savory food, etc. LOL.
Loving all of this content 🙌🏽 I always look forward to your videos 🔥🔥
I didnt know that you were a Fulan Gong practitioner. My heart goes out to the Fulan Gong, Uhygurs, Tibetans and Hong Kongers.
Buddy, it is incredible how much food you eat and keep a slim shape!
Right! how is he not on My 600 Lb Life!
@@loric4423 lol 😂 I am figuring out the same of me.
I’m sorry if this is weird but the way Mikey looked at Christine when he gave her a bite of eggs is so cute and priceless. I’m so happy he found someone who shares his food passion AND can out eat him! Honestly I love this video and you guys, keep it up :)
I wish you and Christine the best in your relationship! Thank you for speaking against and for making us aware of human rights violations in China
Good for you mikey,you need to be happy not only in your food travel and your tummy,you need to be happy in your lsomeoyo also...i'm glad you finally found someone..enjoy travel and eating with special someone..big fan from Philippines
Wow ... the Wicked Spoon was going to be one of my spots to hit up when I visit Vegas. But this ... this is sad. The Rona must have hit them really hard, especially if we only saw a handful of chefs running this big buffet. Damn, I feel bad for them.
That was something I am wondering about, how far in advance do they have to prepare some of the savory things just so they can have them on the line in the morning.
Mikey, your channel is my top list to watch everytime u posted new video. Whenever there's a bad day turning to your video just get me away from.the bad vibes. And hungry. But congratulations on the new relationship and rooting for you
You should visit the Philippines again someday! I would love to see your honest reviews of our buffets because we have a lot of them. Vikings and sambokojin are one of the famous ones
We're glad someone else had the same experience at the Wicked Spoon as we did.We see all these reviews about this being the best buffet in Vegas (which was why we went) and we were SO let down! We went in 2019 and not even exaggerating, the only things they had on the buffet was angry Mac and cheese, prime rib, ham, pizza, chicken feet, mashed potatoes and bbq bao buns.The mashed potatoes were good, the bao buns were good, the prime rib was ok and Tommy liked the goat cheese pizza. We mostly ate off the meat and cheese board.
I've only been to the Grand Canyon once and it was in a helicopter, I need to go again and this time with my wife since she's never seen it. It's truly a breathtaking view, but you're right, there's no food there xDDD. Thank you for your videos and content man, last year was rough and your videos kept me positive, so much so that I started this channel to show people the best places to eat near the most magical place on earth, Disney World Orlando FL. Hopefully I keep growing and one day we share a meal :) Gratz and take care to you both.
Don't worry about it Mikey, I think that you were suffering from a lack of food! It's watching your videos about Korean Cuisine when in hospital years ago that made me want to try different foods. As for Christine, you will have more fun sharing meals together. Good Luck!
Woah woah woah, Mikeys dating? And he said it in a previous video? When was this?! I’ve been watching every single one of them 😂 who’s the lucky girl?!
UPDATE: skip to 11:52 for a sneak peek at the lucky girl!
That’s what im saying. Who the heck is he talking about that we are supposed to know lmao
right! who is it?
I dont remember him dating and who is it?
@@kaydeegarrett5831 no idea but he said it at the beginning and I’m starting to wonder who it is!
He causally mentioned he has a girlfriend in a previous Las Vegas episode.. but don't know who!!! We're all dying to know.
I've made many cross country visits when I lived in WA state and came home to Alabama. The views once you get passed Missouri is incredible. I used to made sure I got hotels into areas I planned to stop in and we would find parks to do lunches in for our young kids. Make sammies, picnic and take in the sights
With young kids, you make sure you plan every dollar. Get hotels with a full breakfast, make sure you have snacks, and plan to pay for just for dinner. Kids love sandwiches and goldfish.
I didn't know that such a historic event happened on my birthday, thanks for that mikey! Im just glad that you are raising awareness and you value justice and equality, one of the reasons why i keep on coming back watching you! Not just to make me feel miserable and hungry at 3am, you are just super positive!
Thank you for saving me the time and money for our trip next month. Also, best wishes to you guys! Keep posting 😊
I love how you mention about the China awareness at DC. I didn't know this was something that is done every year to bring awareness about China's extreme ruling. Something that I should definitely check next year and support!
I love how much food you can put down man!! That’s freaking awesome!
It is theorized that the entire area where the cliff dwellings are located was all water and lush. The waters would have put the dwellings at a more normal level. Things that make you go…hmmmm.
I think(I repeat myself "I think") we know Christine in Mikey Chen's video 5 years earlier titled as " 10 Classic Shanghai Dishes We can't live without".Happy for both of them!
You guys are the cutest couple!!! ❤️❤️I wish you both alot of love... And most definitely alot of GREAT FOOD and adventures!!
11:51... She is adorable! Such a cute cute couple!! ❤️❤️
What's her name ?
@@vanessasperling5899 I think he said Christine in this video. 👍👍
@@sabbys7750 oh ok .. thanks !
She looks different here. Are there two Christine's?
So happy for you both Mikey! Wishing you happy meals and travels always! 🍜✈
Life becomes a little less depressing when I see a new upload
And when i see my boy Mikey got a new gf
We hope everything gets better very soon for you!
I hope your life if filled with more love and happiness, you’ll get through okay!💗💗
Facts
Thanks much for real take on Wicked Spoon. Off my list next trip.
7:30 desert chief needs pay raise haha
Thanks for sharing the info about Falun Gong. Super interesting! Definitely going to look up more about it.
The problem is everything has been sitting under heat lamps for hours and nothing is fresh anymore. Probably the turnover is very slow so they are not replacing items and just leaving them there under the heat lamps. Nasty 😠 I wonder where the price of one of these buffets is?
mike said it was around 40 something dollars
Heat lamps don't make food bland or taste bad. Might cause some dryness issues or texture, but if the flavor is bad, then it was bad when it was fresh, too.
@@turtlepowersf Almost ALL his critiques were about dryness, texture and toughness, so your comment makes no sense. From the tough pork, tough steak, sticky grits and mac and eggs benedict that were no longer runny. The problem was absolutely in the freshness of the products even if some were bland tasting in general.
And it's a breakfast buffet, that means a lot of those stuff were repurposed from the day before. That mac and cheese looks exactly like the mac and cheese you left from dinner the night before.
Mike your videos are my safe place the music helps with my anxiety 🤍
I had no idea about the genocide against Falun Gong and the forced organ harvesting. Thanks for all your incredible food reviews and your honesty and around human rights. 🍲❤️⚖️
Wasn't expecting that announcement but really happy for you. Love the way you just slipped it into the conversation.
Good on you for remembering the fallen and victims of persecution in general. In this century, we still cannot take our basic rights for granted. Nothing fully protects us from losing them.
