Luyu Dumplings is right next to my house. I love their dumplings so much that I walk there to buy their frozen dumpling twice a week lol

Didnt even know about Liu's cafe and i drive by there all the time...know where im going for lunch tomorrow...

All of these places are cheaper than the fastfood chains. No wonder the chains are closing down. You get a much better, larger and often, healthier meal for cheaper. Good going!

When Michelin star’s original started it was all about the tasty food and not about how pricey etc it was. These are bib gourmand which is extremely tasty food for decent prices not exactly a Michelin star but some of the best food for the price.

he always choose the worst table to film xD

Frist see your channel OMG thanks for sharing me so many recipe. I wanna try too

Not many videos can make me crave eating it but for these Tacos Ill fly to get them.

Yum!! Grew up in Glendale and I miss Zhengyalov Hatz!!

Will try that Liu’s food next time I visit LA.

I do that Peruvian hot sauce fairly regulars and it's Awesome!

I have fallen in love with Peruvian dishes!!!! 💖💖

Some people are commenting on the pinkish color of the chicken. The color of the meat isn’t always an indicator of it being raw or undercooked. The types of chicken used as well as the marinades can keep that color on the pinkish side. You can choose to not eat there but to call it undercooked is false. It’s the same with smoked meats. Also this is a Michelin star food video. They’re not getting their star because they’re consistently serving undercooked food. On a side note I love La Azteca and their Chile Relleno Burrito is the best.

yes! At my work (i waitress at an elderly home) the chicken is sometimes the tiniest bit pink and it’s not cause it’s undercooked! If that was the reason, all the 75+ elderly people eating it would be very sick

Ahhhhhhhmazing Umami channel

$3.05 for a pineapple bun seems a bit expensive, although it looks delicious.

Let’s get your drinks of choice ready for the “umami” drinking game!!! Large chug/small shot for each time Mike says “umami”!!!

To be fair with "under $10," most are for an item like a taco which won't fill you up like a full meal. That said, even if you got three tacos for example, it's under $20 which is still a solid deal for top quality food. The other places don't break you bank either, but you're likely paying closer to $20 for an entire meal over just one thing like a couple pieces of chicken.

It's not that cheap, but the quality is high. I have a place near me that has cheap food, it's called Wonderdog, it is in East Peoria Illinois and they are known for their $3.29 chili dogs. But they also have a daily $8.00 special, on Tuesday it's the Tenderloin. You get an 8 inch round Tenderloin, fries or tots, and a drink for $8.00, now that is a deal, and it's pretty good too.

I think you're missing the point of the video. This video is about showcasing michelin star food that's cheap. You can find a taco place that is more cost effective, that's not an argument here. However, that's not even what's the video is about. Mike has done videos of taco in LA that's more cost effective, so you can watch those videos if you want. You're trying to argue one thing when the topic is complete different.

Undercooked chicken doesn't work the same way as steak where pink = bad. If the chicken is still translucent, then it's undercooked. The pink look is due to the hemoglobin in the meat tissues chemically interacting with oven heat, casuing theat pink tinge.
