When he spilled some tea on the table 😂
Knowing how much Mike can eat in one sitting,I think he headed straight to Chinatown for more food after this. Lol
Goofy Walrus has arrived😄 16:48
Those dishes at the private restaurant were works of art!

As an adult, I love bitter food. Not super bitter but just enough to change the flavor of what your eating. But it's something I saw we get use to as we get older, because as a kid I'm all about sweet and sweet only like ketchup.
at 16:53 - the peking duck dish looks like a googly face, lol.
All the dishes look good, but the turnip/brisket soup looks really really good
*Duckfat* popcorn?! That's a heck of a nice snack to take home.
Love Crab Head!! Thee BEST PART!! 🤤🤤
Do y'all remember when Mike would go to some back alley restaurant and have amazing noodles?? .. 🍜 .. I miss that 😔 That first soup though 😋♥️

As San Francisco is in a 'Death Loop', it looks like he's been getting invitations from the various restaurants to come and make a video about them. They hope it will get them vacationers.

Agree…. Miss him finding an $2 hole in the wall noodle soup… don’t think I’d ever pay $25 for soup.
you know the wok cook is legit when u see the oil burns on their arms
That private meal looked fantabulous! The beef and turnip dish reminded me of my grandma.
when he poured the tea on the table 🙁
Those little plates that u eate from looks like what you get in the Japan snacks box. God bless you always 🙏
Oh ooh never heard of such a restaurant, that was really amazing looking.
I recently saw a movie about a place like this. If it gets crazy make sure to ask them for a real burger!

Yay!!! Hello Mr. Mike Chen!!! 😍❤😊🍻🍺
Not sure when you were in San Francisco but it’s been warm and sunny since Sunday. I love Harborview. The view alone is worth dining at that restaurant.
I do like it when you dip into some fancy food
As a Chinese American who used to and still has family and friends in San Francisco when I go back to visits I will definitely make sure I visit those places while there
One of my favorite youtuber😍. One of the best.

That beef and snow peas look so fresh and good! 😋😋😋😁🙂
The wild pea shoots are everywhere if you like to go hiking and it’s quite common for East Asian to forage for edibles while on a stroll. 😂
The clap sealed the deal 👌 😅😅😅
These meals look so good. I can't wait to visit some of these restaurants. Everything looks so fresh.
Love the idea of a hidden restaurant. It would work SO well here in BC!
At 8:23 his driving at the Embarcadero. A place called Delancy Restaurant is good! Most of the workers are ex-cons which is great to get a new start.
those dishes look so nice
the beef cubes is that with sweet snap peas because i thought snow peas are the really thin looking one.
Hello Mike, I always feel intrigued by your amazing food videos, the food looks so flavourful. 😊
I always have to get an order of beef and bitter melon when I go to my family's restaurant Hop Kee in Manhattan!
Watch out for the 💩!
The Pineapple Cake sounds good!
dang that turnip beef soup looks bomb
15:11 that’s an interesting way to fry fish! May try that sometime.
Wow look so yummy..
What a beautiful view at 8:15! Grew up in SF! I miss it so much! Too bad a job dictated where i had to move. 😢
How is the first place one Michelin star??? We can't tell the taste but the presentation and execution looks pretty normal

Is just food,even you can make it the same way or better!..The ingredients are the same everywhere in the world,maybe a bit more expensive in other places but in San Francisco I know the cost is higher just because of rent prices.

Harborview in SF is very, very, very high quality. I eat a lot of different kinds of Chinese food in San Francisco and the place is expensive but the quality makes it worth the splurge. Also, Harborview is a nice ratio of almost completely traditional, conservative menu but with slight nouvelle touches.

That looks like Molinari sandwiches store on Columbus. A supermarket other right of the gate...
"The next dish is a peking duck Of course, more elegant." (Gets served goofy face plate)
it would be nice if when an item is priced as "market" you could tell us the price you paid per pound at the time of filming..so we can get an idea what to expect as a price point for that dish. 😊

Gaslighted into thinking that you are so “special” in this “secret” restaurant so they can charge you 2 times more for everything xD
I loved this Mikey ❤❤
wow in all this year's one of my fav restaurant reviews
Hidden restaurants seens fun. I had dinner in some private roons before. But never in a please that seens this private.
Keep up the eating 🍽️❤ everything looks great!!!!
You need to try TOP POT in Pacifica just outside of Daly City about 30 minutes from San Francisco!!!
Delicious
Not snow peas…sugar snaps!
Niiiiiiiice 😋😋😋😋😋
The best vegetables is cheap and abundant. I love a good stir fried fatty water spinach in Malaysia Sambal Chilli Sauce, stir fried in raw garlic slices, Half big onion slices, prawns and well seasoning in (best premium oyster sauce, little sugar, red chilli slices and light soy sauce)
Welcome to my city ! Try Anh hong for their 7 courses of beef
Koi Palace/Dragon Beaux/Palette Tea House ( all the same owner ) might interest you. R & G Lounge, Mr Jiu's, House Of Nanking, Yuet Lee, Mandarin Islamic are noteworthy. Jade Chocolate ( Fine Chocolate blended with Asian and Pacific Island spices ) also does a very interesting afternoon tea with a rotating menu. Sotto Mare, Colibri, L'ardoise, Poc Chuc, Fina Estampa, Brenda's French Soulfood and Tu Lan are also distinctive places, part of the kaleidoscope of San Francisco you might want to consider.
Love and support from colombia Mike!❤❤❤❤❤

Summer in San Francisco. Almost all of the rest of the state is hot right now but here in SF in ' summer ' I run the heater daily, even daytime and I like it cold. SF is an anomaly in multiple ways.
Give me some crab I have to watch carbs - soup looks good
Nice lunch with the overpriced dishes! I saw that the crab was Market Price, of course! With that great local & chef I'm not surprised that the soup was $25! Now, the "secret" restaurant with 8 tables was a very special event! So, how much did it cost? I wasn't a fan of most of the dishes but I saw a very unique experience & very private setting!

Did spend 80 € to have everything for the chilli oil™ Will try it for the first time in a couple days Cannot wait :) im only a couple years late :D
what i don't like mike's reviews is that he doesn't say anything negative about the places he visit i find it stale after awhile it's always good good the best this and that compared to a few hong kong food channel i follow they do say it when it's bad and why it's bad even World's Best Seafood channel (small sec channel of a photographer) have a honest review for noma's kyoto pop up restaurant (it was not mild lol) which i don't think mike would have a honest review on a restaurant at that lvl if he only give good review on any restaurant then all his reviews are questionable...

He also said if he doesn't like a place, he just doesn't include them in the video. This is called survivorship bias. He's got no problem negatively reviewing a big chain restaurant, but he's not about to damage someone's reputation due to his own opinion. Maybe keep that in mind when you see some youtuber denigrating someone's food. It's their own personal opinion, and they could have just simply not included it in the video. Makes it seem like they're clout goblins, desperate for as much content as they can get. No content creator is truly a "professional food critic".

In his earlier videos, he did have some negative reviews for some places and he was skewered in the comment section. There was a video on restaurants in NYC Chinatown and commenters actually said if he had nothing nice to say, he shouldn't say it. I am not typically a defender of Mike. He still needs to broaden his vocabulary and work on his enunciation and pronunciation.

@@pmg-1 The garbage is. And you are correct, someone going though alllllllll the hassle and relentless work of running a top drawer establishment is not entitled to any profit. I feel sorry for you that the price of well curated, well prepared, well sourced food in a premium city in a premium establishment is beyond your means. What would you do with the $2 if it was $4? Buy your Top Ramen for the week? Suks to be you. Try venturing out of your parent's basement in your Rust-Belt town more than once a year.
Mike, if you're ever in Pittsburgh, hit up Chengdu Gourmet. There's two locations, owned by James Beard award-winning chef Wei Zhu. They have a vast traditional menu that covers just about anything edible, including frog.
Wish San Francisco could go back to what it was.
Sound waves doesn't travel in space😅😊.
Congratulations
beef and turnip said no one 😂😂😂😂
Looking good 😋
I live in HMB. Where are the pea shoots?? All I see are pumpkins, brussel sprouts, artichokes and fog?
Bet Mikey drove up to a Vegas buffet after that dinner 🎉😂
150 dollars for the private dining is really not too bad
Not sure about those fish scales, I don't know why but they give me the ik
