Awesome to see you come through my city! Menya Ultra is my favorite ramen spot too, glad you got to try it! Hope you can come back again and try out some other delicious foods and locations in San Diego 👍🏼
This video made me so happy! You came to my home town and tried really great places. At Oscar's they have a smoked fish taco and that thing is to die for. There was actually an Oscars branch by the convention center, about a 10 min walk. Its on the other side of Petco Park. Menyu Ultra is always busy, I live here and i have yet to try the braised chaushu.
@@MikeyChenX It's cool. You don't like what you don't like. I'm absolutely sure you've tried sushi and sashimi and it wasn't for you. Like Andrew Zimmern, it's your durian, hahaha. There's no hate here, man.
Mikey - congratulations on hitting a MILLION subs!!!! I’m so excited and happy for you! I love your videos because you take me to places and eat yummy foods that I may not get to do 😊 Love from Salem, CT Rose
San Diego has a good Asian food scene too. Check out places on Convoy. Mien Trung for some of the best Central Vietnam soups. Bun Bo Hue, Bun Ri Oc. Amazing Phuong Trang. Outstanding Vietnamese food! Convoy Tofu House for fantastic Korean food! K's Sandwiches in Linda Vista for Bahn Mi. Great Mexican food too!
The 2 little dumplings I purchased just shipped the other day so I should get them Monday! I’m soooo excited! Thanks Mike! We have 5 of the classic arcade games in my family room!.....lol
I love Ramen and I eat it atleast once a month! Ramen Nagi is my favorite in the Philippines (you should try it out next time btw). I moved to SD 6 months ago and I've gone to a few ramen places here and there but out of all the ramen I've tried in San Diego so far, MENYA ULTRA is definitely my favorite! So lucky that my husband and I live only a few minutes away from their other location!
I am watching this on my work break! Trying to get it in early as I'm always late to watch your videos lately. I see the words Ramen Noodles and my eyes instantly light up.
I'm like a kid when in an arcade,too. I have a friend in Lawrence,KS that owns an arcade. So if you ever find yourself that way..or in Kansas City since it's close..remember me and I'll get you the hookup 👍
Omg when growing up in Australia in the early '90s you could rent a WHOLE arcade for 20$ and get all the tokens you wanted. So every birthday of mine, that's what I did. Some of the best memories of my life having birthday parties at those! Lawrence, KS if I'm ever in you, nostalgia happy hour begin.
Mikey I can’t even explain to you how great your channel is..Everything you eat is just delicious and I love everything and anything about your channel ..Especially of course the food 🤗👌..x
I live in San Diego! The braised chashu at menya is great. I always show up half an hour before opening to get it. The location you went to has a boba place Camellia Road in the same plaza would definitely recommend going there while waiting. Nishiki and Raki Raki are the other popular ramen places here.
Mikey, that weird thing that we used to do before those street scooters appeared was called.... Walking🚶.... LOL!😄 😁 Take the eggs out of the bowl and put them to the side, mix up the bowl then put the eggs back in and wha-la! Now eat to your heart's content...lol!😋😀🍜
Heading to San Diego on Thursday . Haven't been here since I was a kid. And now that I'm an adult and a big foodie. I knew I could find a video from you. Now I know where I need to go! Much thanks. Love your videos. And I want a dumpling plushie 🥺🥺 (Side note my bro and I just watched one of your videos about garlic noodles and crab, and we went out and bought lobster and noodles and made it at home)
Saw the title and thought you better be going there.Menya Ultra is my friends and my go-to when we want really good ramen. There are a bunch of places to go around San Diego, but Menya Ultra is always worth the wait. Line up about an hour before they open to be put on the list, then walk around til they open.
1:38 They told you no backpack but the moment you walk in I see a dude with a backpack and another girl with a massive purse. Lol Oh. 1:40. Another dude with a backpack and another massive purse.
Hey Mikey, thanks for stopping by America's Finest City. Btw, most of us here in SD have our own "top secret taco spots." Also, true dat, shrimp tacos are the bomb here👊...Safe travels🙏
Did Underbelly get better over the years? I last went with a few fellow ramen snobs about 5 years ago and found it to be below average compared to other noodle houses in SD. The toppings were fine but toppings can't save an otherwise subpar ramen. Broth had no depth of flavor to speak of and the noodle texture was nothing to write home about. Super disappointing.
Next time you in SD you have to hit Golden Chopsticks or Royal Mandarin for the Salted Pepper Chicken Wings in National City, then come south by the border & stop by a Mariscos Truck a grab some Fish Tacos!
In my part of town. I live in the Gaslamp. Serrano is good, but there some new street tacos places that just opened downtown that is amazeballs. Tacos Los Chuchys for the win! Ultra Ramen is definitive best Ramen spot in San Diego.
Saw the cookies at the end of this video and have to mention the best cookies in the world are made near you at the Metropolitan Market they call them simply, "the cookie", its a must try! theres one near you in Kirkland....actually went there yesterday to get one for desert after eating at Shake Shack!
We stayed in same hotel when we first moved here to San Diego in August. Great location. Love living here. Didn’t know about Ramen place will have to check out. Fell in love with Ramen while living in Japan. Thanks for sharing
Damn it! You posted a video just as my kids went down for a nap. Now I have to wait till they wake up to watch this video. My kids and I love watching you.
I was getting my nails done and my nail Tech and I bonded over how much we enjoy your videos!
Glad you guys were able to watch my 'clip's together 🤣🤣🤣....sorry
@@MikeyChenX I have enjoyed both of your channels for a long time and finally have subscribed your reviews are both informative and entertaining!
IT'S ME AT 7:05 !!! Haha that was too lucky that you ended up in my section Mikey :D
SourTsunami pretty
SourTsunami hi I saw ur name was Nikki~!!
You're so cute hahaha
@mikeychen
4:50 The lady next to him said “blalalalal hes talking to himself.” In spanish lmao i was dying 💀😂
Build WALL
How'd you catch that?
wow yeah she was like "ese wey esta hablando solo" HAHAHAH
@@jond2720 AGREED
lmfao hes probably alot more successful than that whiny spanish lady
Anyone else feel like Mikey's posts come just when you need him the most? 🤔
Tammy H agreee
true that!
Yep :-)
True that
I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour 🎵🎵🎵
I eat instant ramen while watching Mikey, imagining that we're eating the same thing.
I've never dipped pork buns into my ramen...I do now.
Have a question bout mike: the amount of foods he’s heating doesn’t he get heartburn or gassy
Same here! 😅🙋♀️
@@mominulislam3822 doubt it due to the fact he works out everyday
I do to it's hard not to . I'm glad in not the only one.
I screamed when I saw you went to menya ultra. It's hands down me and my husband's favorite ramen place. It's not a trip to San Diego without it.
That ramen looked massive! Massively delicious!
at 4:50 some says in spanish "ese guey se estaba hablando solo" lol which translates to "that guy is talking to himself" lol
Awesome to see you come through my city! Menya Ultra is my favorite ramen spot too, glad you got to try it! Hope you can come back again and try out some other delicious foods and locations in San Diego 👍🏼
4:45 xD "ese wey esta hablando solo" jajajaja
My grand daughter and I just love watching your videos 💗💗💗
Safe flying Mikey!!!

4:25 love how he points to the food bar, thats where ppl will find me too XD
Mikey: "I don't normally eat raw stuff, but when I do, it's free and has been soaked in lime juice for hours."
is that why I don't see many sushi videos? :o
@@Vi3taZnDr4gOn yep
If the food is free, all considerations must be given
@@MikeyChenX It's cool. You don't like what you don't like. I'm absolutely sure you've tried sushi and sashimi and it wasn't for you. Like Andrew Zimmern, it's your durian, hahaha.
There's no hate here, man.
@@association330 oh no Andrew's missing out on durian man
I'm in San Diego. Staying at the same hotel! My life is made!!
I love watching your episodes. I appreciate the closeups of all the foods you eat. It all looks so delicious!
WOW that bowl of ramen looked absolutely stuffed full of deliciousness.
Minute 4:52 😳 " Ese wei esta hablando solo " 😂😂😂 a pinchis paisas!
Raul E 😂😂
😂😂
Lol🤣The Ramen Is huge! Americanized👍
Not the typical Ramen size in Japan🍜
Taco looks sooo good, I am hungrrrrry😂😂😂
I was waiting all day for you to post a video. It was worth the wait.
Yay! My day isn’t complete without watching your videos!💖
I always go to your videos when I am sad. Your happiness and fun makes things better usually :)
Thank you for the recommendation Mike ! Will definitely check out Ramen Ultra the next time I'm in San Diego 😀
I’m born & raised in San Diego but am at college in Hawaii right now. Was feeling homesick so thank you for this video for a little taste of home!!
Mikey - congratulations on hitting a MILLION subs!!!! I’m so excited and happy for you! I love your videos because you take me to places and eat yummy foods that I may not get to do 😊

San Diego has a good Asian food scene too. Check out places on Convoy.
Mien Trung for some of the best Central Vietnam soups. Bun Bo Hue, Bun Ri Oc. Amazing
Phuong Trang. Outstanding Vietnamese food!
Convoy Tofu House for fantastic Korean food!
K's Sandwiches in Linda Vista for Bahn Mi.
Great Mexican food too!
That Uncle Biff’s is one crazy spot. My favorite cookies in SD
The 2 little dumplings I purchased just shipped the other day so I should get them Monday! I’m soooo excited! Thanks Mike! We have 5 of the classic arcade games in my family room!.....lol
All good events should have video games and food. -Mike Chen, 2019
I miss San Diego more and thank you for reviewing menya ultra, been wanting to go there ever since. :)

Menya is so good! Have you tried Tajima ? I love their spicy sesame ramen
arghhh! didn''t know you were here! glad you love my city :)

Thanks Angie!

I'm living in Colby ks!
Hi neighbor! I'm in Nebraska right now but moving back to KC in a couple years. I'm from Junction City, though 😁
Omg when growing up in Australia in the early '90s you could rent a WHOLE arcade for 20$ and get all the tokens you wanted. So every birthday of mine, that's what I did. Some of the best memories of my life having birthday parties at those!

@@Timmycoo oh same here. It was cheaper back in those days. My friend has a set price for 2 hours, so that's nice.
Love your videos man!
Finally a video in my neck of the woods! 🙌
Those taco's and cookies look so good.
So happy you visited my home town . Can’t believe I’ve never heard of Oscars before . Definitely need try it out . Thanks !
I remember going to the arcade with my older bro in the 80’s! Those were the good ol’ days! 🤗
Can that ramen look any more amazing!!! 💕💕
Hillcrest Oscar's is still amazing. And uncle biff's is one of the most amazing cookies! So delicious!
I live in San Diego!!! You need to do a greet in San Diego and and I will definitely come.

Makes me miss San Diego. Hubby was in marines and navy, so we spent so much time down there in our 22 years so far. ❤️
When I saw how small your shrimp diablo and fish tacos were I lol’d and thought you’d need another 50 to get full. 🤣
I went there this past week since I live near San Diego and can confirm this place is amazing
That ramen looks amazing, so many toppings!!
OMG I love that Ramen place! You should have went to Yesenia's Mexican and Seafood a couple doors down, great Mexican food.
You know you have found real love if the person looks at you the same way Mikey looks at a bowl of Ramen
Yes ! I love this ramen spot, also Tajima Ramen is on my top 3
‘I love totino’s pizza rolls,’ he says, as I watch his video waiting for my totino’s pizza rolls to finish cooking in my toaster oven
At Menya you definitely ordered extra toppings on top of the toppings that already come in the bowl which is why its overflowing like that lmao
Mikey, that weird thing that we used to do before those street scooters appeared was called.... Walking🚶.... LOL!😄 😁
Take the eggs out of the bowl and put them to the side, mix up the bowl then put the eggs back in and wha-la! Now eat to your heart's content...lol!😋😀🍜
What is this....walking?
@@MikeyChenX😃😄😂😊 Hahaha, Thanks for the reply! You are the food review King!👑
Wherever you go, my taste buds will follow... LOL!😁

"I'm gonna do a quick scooter review. Not that anyone ask for this" LOLOLOLOLOL AHSJAHAHAHAHAHAH
Love the content Mikey!
Next time you’re in SD, you should review:
- Izakaya Masa
- TJ Tacos
- Jalapeños
- Lolita’s
DL771 TJ Tacos > Tacos El Gordo
piggy backing on this, underbelly in little italy is BOMBB!! Super fatty
Izakaya Masa's Hakata Ramen is so good!
Izakaya masa is so good! Best katsudon in SD hands down.
Lolita's!!!
Loving it each time you say that you're coming to Singapore.
Biff’s is the best! Glad you ran into it while you were here. Come back soon Mike, there’s so many great places here in SD!
Is Biffs the cookie place?
@@michaellok7307 yup
Menya Ultra is awesome! I live a 5 min walk from their 2nd San Diego location so I go there whenever I can.
OMG The ramen noodle look so good, I'm so hungry now 🍜
I never tasted ramen...living through you!!!
OMG that ramen looks amazing. I'm thinking off booking a flight to SD just to eat that 🤤. Also, your thumbnail didn't do that Ramen justice.
Come to Ireland Mike! You'll love it, its rains between showers
There have been a lot of new ramen places that have opened up in San Diego... hopefully you can visit again soon to try them 🍜🤗
Heading to San Diego on Thursday . Haven't been here since I was a kid. And now that I'm an adult and a big foodie. I knew I could find a video from you. Now I know where I need to go! Much thanks.

Love ur vids mike
Second channel is just as good at strictly dumpling 🐐
I love Menya Ultra!!! The first time I went there, I ended up going there for dinner the same day.
I cant stop binge watching your videos!😁😍😁
I want the dumpling stuffy!!!! 😍 How cute!!
Mikey wish I ran into you here! Glad you had fun here in SD and at twitchcon :)
Mikey eating Ramen=I have to watch it! Even at 3am. And now I want ramen.
1:38 They told you no backpack but the moment you walk in I see a dude with a backpack and another girl with a massive purse. Lol Oh. 1:40. Another dude with a backpack and another massive purse.
I knowwwwwwww 😭
Yeah, and besides multiple people wearing backpacks, there's a wall at 1:50 with guess what for sale? Yup. Backpacks. *eyeroll*
Hey Mikey, thanks for stopping by America's Finest City. Btw, most of us here in SD have our own "top secret taco spots." Also, true dat, shrimp tacos are the bomb here👊...Safe travels🙏
Ah yes! My daily dose of Mikey Chen's food reviews. ♥️
My favorite ramen and cookie joint in SD. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love your work Mikey.
I AM CRYING! HOW DID I NOT KNOW YOU WERE JUST DOWN BY MY GYM!!! AND I LOVE RAMEN!
I was just there having ramen the day before you published this video. That place is yummy
had oscars the other day for the first time and it was life-changing!!
Love your videos. They are awesome.
Menya ultra is the best in SD!! I’d say it’s 1menya
2 nishiki ramen
3 rakiraki
4 underbelly
Underbelly sucks. I feel like Hironori needs to be on here somewhere.
They’re just have really good noodles at menya probably the best I’ve had
Did Underbelly get better over the years? I last went with a few fellow ramen snobs about 5 years ago and found it to be below average compared to other noodle houses in SD. The toppings were fine but toppings can't save an otherwise subpar ramen. Broth had no depth of flavor to speak of and the noodle texture was nothing to write home about. Super disappointing.
I’m from San Diego so I was excited to click!
Dude! I was just thinking the other day I'd love to take you to Ramen if you're in SD! Hopefully next time!!!
Next time you in SD you have to hit Golden Chopsticks or Royal Mandarin for the Salted Pepper Chicken Wings in National City, then come south by the border & stop by a Mariscos Truck a grab some Fish Tacos!
Loveyou mike! 😍❤️

I needed a review in San Diego it’s where I live , can’t wait
We stayed in same hotel when we first moved here to San Diego in August. Great location. Love living here. Didn’t know about Ramen place will have to check out. Fell in love with Ramen while living in Japan. Thanks for sharing
Awesome vid as always!!!!
Mikey at it again making me hungry at 2 in the morning
Damn it! You posted a video just as my kids went down for a nap. Now I have to wait till they wake up to watch this video. My kids and I love watching you.
Next time you go to Oscar’s you should definitely try something with the smoked fish - the taco especial is my go-to!
I was here in 1second after you posted. Yummy 😋
I was a hunter in Wow too!! :D I love watching your videos. You pretty much have my dream job. lol
Hey mike Chen I love your videos and maybe I try Japan ramen one day I saw it in your video and seen that day I have to try that ramen
