Impressive. The facts that the cooks have to take the customers just randomly walking by or through their stations, you need to be a very confident chef. Respect to all the staff.
You'd need the patience of a saint for that job. It would be like having 100 aimless toddlers putting their hands all over everything while trying to work.
I personally cannot work in a kitchen like that it feels chaotic! But its so awesome that customers can get exposed to what happens behind the scenes and the hard work that goest thru the process. 185 per person is such a deal for all you can eat and those food looked amazing!!
This is truly the best dining experience ever. Go here every year for birthdays. Chef Kelly is outstanding and delivers a comedic tier to the experience. This is my happy place.
We've eaten there 3 times, it's just excellent. Is it a "buffet" definitely no, it's fine dinning and the menu changes every month. It's a 10 course meal, with lots of appetizers in between, you don't really know what you are getting, it's up to the Chefs, but every thing you put in your mouth is soooo delicious. Is it "all you can eat"? No, but you eat as much until they run out. One evening during "intermission" we ate so much oysters that they ran out, we also has sea bass and scallops on the main menu, I complimented the Chef on the sea bass and scallops, he made us 2 more plates, and then packed another order togo for us. At the end of the night, a staff member gave us a tour of the front and back kitchen, while in the back, she asked us whatever leftovers they have, they can packed it for us.
This place looked like a true fun time. Great food, happy staff, happy chief, happy guests. That is what you want. The chief looked freaking happy. Which tells me, he's in the zone and ready to party. Love happy food staff.
I lived in Sacramento in the 90s and my friends and I went to The Kitchen long before they got their Michelin star. This place was always amazing, entertaining and a food fest. So happy for them and that they’re getting this recognition. 😊
This by far looked liked the most fun and interactive experience ever! Those chefs really worked their overtime when they are open. The price, experience and atmosphere seems completely worth it! Awesome video!
Not understanding the negative comments… small portions? Nibble size? Big plates? You can literally nibble on a 1000 of them if you want. Plenty of food over 4 hours.
I see a lot of people do that to him all the time and I don't understand it either. To be honest I think they're jealous he seems so ordinary yet he has better vacations than they ever will in their lifetime
Maybe they’ve never experienced very high end meal ! The large number of courses are small so you can experience many many different food items and enjoy each one
Hat's off to this crew for sure. I'm a chef, and the thought of random lay-people walking through or interacting with my kitchen makes my heart want to explode. "Wait. You want the guy who has no idea what sauteing is, to walk into a WORKING KITCHEN and allow them to poke around or even cook?? You're fired. Don't ever suggest that nonsense again." Also, I'm sorry, but the chef here looks like Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town 🤣
I watch Mike's videos, and live through his adventures. Because I will never be able to afford to travel to a different country every week like he does. Nor will I ever be able to afford to eat at 90% of the restaurants he goes to. I live through Mike, and that will have to do.
I remember going to The Kitchen. I had 5 helpings! The portions aren't too big but very good! Haven't been back in years! Now I may have to go back! Thanks Mike!! 😂
Hey Mikey, I live on the east coast of Canada. Prince Edward Island oysters are not from Nova Scotia. Prince Edward Island is a province all on it's own. I can highly recommend a visit to enjoy some fabulous seafood.
I'm a little disappointed there isn't more information in the description, like address or a link to their website so we can check it out... But I'd be remiss if I forgot to tell you that I'm watching this one and living\eating vicariously through you! Thank you so much for making these high end visits so we can see what's now possible around the world.
I’ve been there twice. The biggest hack I have is to order a grilled cheese at the end. They do a cheese plate and they take the cheeses from it and make a grilled cheese.
@@Aaackermann Do not need to - "hack" is being used in the vernacular sense as is common now, it is no less a "hack" that people ordering weird mcdonalds items "off menu" - there is no need to be a pedant. Try touching some grass. Or make a friend, you clearly need one and you are not making any here.
@@irishchick6315 I will now think about my life choices and sob into my pillow for the lonileness inside of me. Maybe you can be my friend, after your kind words?
That’s one of the most eccentric chefs I’ve ever seen!! He definitely loves what he does!!! I’m gonna need to try this place out!! Awesome content as always Mikey!!
Since exiting California, the only things I miss are the ASIAN restaurants throughout Gardena CA (L A metro), with all the korean meathouses all you can eat, and the great Chinese and authentic Japanese places, and occasional fresh Indian and Peruvian and Iranian (West L A), and the Japanese supermarkets. I moved to food blightland (San Tan AZ) and now to Florida (not as bad as AZ, but nowheres as diverse and good as So Cal. I am so jealous that you are having this kind of food. Wow! Truly inspiring. But, still, not a reason to travel to CA again. They've ruined Cali, which USED to be the Rivera of the states. For some reason you weren't showing up in my feed, even though I am subscribed, so I looked you up. Your joy of eating makes me happy.
Did he just say around 185 before tax/gratuity!? That is actually so freaking reasonable considering how much food you are able to get! Wow, simply mind blowing!
I'd have to save up for a meal like that, but it does seem like you get your money's worth and then some! I think I've seen videos of restaurants that charge twice as much for way less than half the amount of food.
Thanks for the vid. I think you just made the wait an additional 2 months. That price is phenomenal. For what you were served (and participated in), I'm happy you showed us your experience.
I LOVED THAT!!!! So fun and I would probs be in the kitchen the whole time chatting and being my adhd self xD and the thing with being FED!!!! Yes plz!!!
Thank you Mike for taking us in. I enjoy seeing all the dishes/items they served. But Mike, there probably isn't a dress code, but at least iron your polo-shirt collars for a long awaited dinner 😅.
"Oysters from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia." You just made a lot of people from two different Canadian provinces more than a little upset Mikey! They both have great oysters, nevertheless!
Not sure what Mike meant when he said PEI, Nova Scotia, but it sure sounded like he thought PEI was a city in Nova Scotia. It is probably the restaurant's fault. Not surprised. Not many Americans knows anything about Canadian provinces.
@@kellyrpoole I would've suggested Queen Sheba's Ethiopian, Hop Sing Palace in Folsom, Burgers and Brew downtown... Dos Coyotes and Mikuni are both local chains that are good... I'm gluten intolerant, so my list is limited by that, unfortunately.
People who are complaining about portions being small literally just forgot that they let customers roam around and taste food 😂 its WAY WAY better than other Michelin star restaurants which give pea size food.
This place is out of control. I don’t know how they can manage all this chaos. I would really love to dine here, and again, and again. My kind of place. I hope this style of service is successful.
Impressive. The facts that the cooks have to take the customers just randomly walking by or through their stations, you need to be a very confident chef. Respect to all the staff.
Right! I kept thinking I'd love to hear from the chefs about this.
You'd need the patience of a saint for that job. It would be like having 100 aimless toddlers putting their hands all over everything while trying to work.
I just want to eat so I’m good without the walk by.
I wouldn’t make it all it takes is the wrong customer

thats awesome!
Sounds amazing. what was the cost for those? Just curious, the cost now is 185-195 dollars per person. Quite reasonable considering what you get!
I am sorry but I agree with the "all you can eat." By the time you have walked out of there you are stuffed. Therefore it was "all you can eat."
That’s the kind of places you say is worth every penny and tummy space.
That’s amazing. Legit seems like a deal
I'm a Sactown native, and just got a reservation!! I literally had to make an alarm for when the list opened up, and I got it!!! So excited!!!
Crazy...I'm excited and happy for you!!!
@@June-tb4vi Thank you!🍾🍾🍾🥂
This place looked like a true fun time. Great food, happy staff, happy chief, happy guests. That is what you want. The chief looked freaking happy. Which tells me, he's in the zone and ready to party. Love happy food staff.
The head chef really sells it.

I can see them getting a couple more stars and a James beard award
Yep. Won't be long now that Michelin found them before they get their next 2 stars!
This by far looked liked the most fun and interactive experience ever! Those chefs really worked their overtime when they are open. The price, experience and atmosphere seems completely worth it! Awesome video!
I wish more places had this concept, seems so laid back and chill, like you're having dinner at a friend's house.
Not understanding the negative comments… small portions? Nibble size? Big plates? You can literally nibble on a 1000 of them if you want. Plenty of food over 4 hours.
Exactly! How many scallops did he get!? You’ll never get that amount of food at most fine dining restaurants. It seemed like an awesome experience.
Those people need to go to golden coral😂
I see a lot of people do that to him all the time and I don't understand it either. To be honest I think they're jealous he seems so ordinary yet he has better vacations than they ever will in their lifetime
Maybe they’ve never experienced very high end meal ! The large number of courses are small so you can experience many many different food items and enjoy each one
Right
Chef Kelly’s energy seemed amazing. This is definitely an experience for the bucket list. ❤
What I enjoyed the most was to see the chefs actualy loveing their work and putting their passion and brain into creating something
Hat's off to this crew for sure. I'm a chef, and the thought of random lay-people walking through or interacting with my kitchen makes my heart want to explode. "Wait. You want the guy who has no idea what sauteing is, to walk into a WORKING KITCHEN and allow them to poke around or even cook?? You're fired. Don't ever suggest that nonsense again." Also, I'm sorry, but the chef here looks like Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town 🤣
I’m studying to be a chef… my first thought was “sanitize EVERYTHING.” 😂
he looks like Tony Horton from those PX90 workout videos
I watch Mike's videos, and live through his adventures. Because I will never be able to afford to travel to a different country every week like he does. Nor will I ever be able to afford to eat at 90% of the restaurants he goes to. I live through Mike, and that will have to do.
Unfortunately he likes the cakes more than the . she'll fish or fish
And I've never or or ever heard anyone say the oyster is fishy ? Wth.
I NEVER would have been able to stop ordering more of the dumpling and taro chips. This place looks like so much fun!
So glad you came to our city! The Kitchen is one of my favorite establishments. I hope you were able to try all our other great local foods!
I remember going to The Kitchen. I had 5 helpings! The portions aren't too big but very good! Haven't been back in years! Now I may have to go back! Thanks Mike!! 😂
185 per person is insanely cheap for a place like that. I'm in awe of those chefs
$185 for all that? Wow
Increased to 265. But still a great value
@@lvu101 Holy crap, inflation is nuts
This guy makes $20,000 USD a month from TH-cam with 4 Million Subscribers, he can afford it !
This is a true celebration of cooking and food.
"I PLAN ON FEEDING YOU GUYS TONIGHT!" That literally brings a tear to my eye.
Except there is a finite amount of food, if they run out of menu item, you can't get anymore. So you might miss out on some items.
I just LOVE all of your food videos and this particular one is so different. how fun!!

This Chef has the right balls for the style. For sure, he does.
Beautiful food, great opportunity. ❤👍😊
He really should charge more😊
The food looks fantastic. I also liked the open kitchen and omakase vibes. Definitely saving up to take my mom here someday, she would love this!

Where is the "hack"?
@@Aaackermann to order a grilled cheese sandwich with the entire cheeseboard - readign comprehension is important - the commenter was clear

Been there a few times. Never disappoint.
Oh My Lord! Definitely on my bucket list for sure! Talking about food heaven ❤
It must take some really passionate folks to work in that environment. Passionate about inspiring others to truly enjoy the culinary arts.
I’ve gone a few times and it’s so much fun. Chef Kelly is the best. The staff are so nice and everything there is delicious!

oysters from Prince Edward island, Nova Scotia.. those are 2 different places.. it's like saying "from New York Kentucky"
Did he just say around 185 before tax/gratuity!? That is actually so freaking reasonable considering how much food you are able to get! Wow, simply mind blowing!

Cheap in this economy 😊
Right. That was my thought also! Seems like a bargain for what you’re getting!
It's now $265 with everything included
i am in Germany. never thought to visit sacramento. but now it is on higher spot on my bucker list.
I usually roll my eyes at anything Michelin-starred, but I could totally have a blast at this place. 😁
Light the beam ! Thanks for visiting Sacramento!
You've just convinced me to book a reservation. I live here in Sacramento but did not know The Kitchen was that fun!
Right?! Everything looks amazing and the vibe is perfect. I live in Orange County and I'm booking a reservation. I know it'll be worth the trip!!
That's $200 per person or $500 after tip for a couple. Yikes!
Oh! Lucky you!!!
Fantastic food with a great environment and the feel of “The Menu “. Quite the wonderful experience.
That line behind Mike seems like everyone is walking and eating! Good to burn calories and eat at the same time!! LOL! 😂
Welcome to Sacramento Mike! I hope you enjoyed your time here and ate well. 😊
MY HEART WAS FLUTTERING WITH YOU 😭😭😭
I feel like working here would be hell for most chefs
Maybe cuz they are not friendly people. So it’s better they stay away
Thanks for the vid. I think you just made the wait an additional 2 months. That price is phenomenal. For what you were served (and participated in), I'm happy you showed us your experience.
I would prob be in a scallop and beef coma by the time I was finished lol.
Oh my gosh I wanted to reach through the screen for that seared scallop!! Everything looks amazing…I think I must bucket list this lol
This looks a real fun place to go.
Everything looked amazing the Chef was so much fun I'm so glad you had a good time 😊❤
We went last year and it was so amazing! Can't wait to watch the video!
Keep raising the bar man!
Love the content
For $265 with everything included, tax and gratuity? Crazy cheap for the quality and quantity
"All you can yeeet" never change mike, what a fantastic foodie
Seriously have been waiting for years for someone else to hear the “yeet” and comment! One of my favorite things about Mike!
I love how much you LOVE food Mikey!!! The Greeks say Fee-low , not fy-loh.

That price actually sounds reasonable, considering the high end ingredients and staff.
This must be a chaotic service haha. Chef looks like he just did a line, ready to go
Great video! I was there the same night (March 1st). I was one of the people sitting in the background.😊
That looked absolutely amazing
Wow ! Amazing Mikey ! Definitely Food Heaven ! Delicious !
Wow that was a lot of food! So much fun, also. That is a great experience. No wonder they have a four month wait.

"Oysters from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia." You just made a lot of people from two different Canadian provinces more than a little upset Mikey! They both have great oysters, nevertheless!
I think its meant as from either places, not that PEI is a part of Nova Scotia. If you look on their website thats exactly what it says on the menu.
