Haha we are so used to them by now😂 sometimes I just shake my head at the jokes, sometimes I burst out laughing. Am I the only that try to think of jokes based on what Mikey says in the video?😅 Seriously ever since your scary stories I look at the plushies and think what if they suddenly look at the camera and start grinning🤣

The fact that you focus more on the positive rather than negative reviews is what I love about your channels. In a world with so much bad news, I am happy to hear about what people loved.
When I was a little girl, my grandmother would make a huge Christmas feast for the entire family and that included me and my 2 brothers and my parents- and her 9 other kids and spouses with families as well- HUGE. She worked as a meat packer at the grocery store my whole life and she’d pick out the best hams for our dinner. She baked them to perfection- and we are talking back when pork wasn’t spirled and sugar poured on top and precooked hams- but thick fatty skinned hams with juicy meat baked to perfection. She had a back bedroom we grandkids called the playroom and that’s where she had the hams setup on a table cooling. I will never ever forget peeling off piece after piece of that crisp ham skin and whatever pieces of meat pulled off with it and munching it down. IT WAS HEAVENLY!!! When it was time to eat and I could get a nice slice and put on a roll or biscuit, it just never was the same as those stolen bits of precious 🐷

Mikey: I just about died when you said your family had a restaurant in Quincy, Il. I grew up in Hamilton (about 30 minutes north of Quincy) and we used to eat at a Chinese restaurant there. I'm trying to remember the name and location. I now live in Seattle and enjoy your trip videos as well as the food videos. I hope to run into you some time at a restaurant in the International District!

Gregg H.: Despite the protests and COVID-19, I still like it here. I’ve lived in Santa Fe and Los Angeles prior to moving to Seattle. I’d pick Seattle over them. Traffic and homeless issues continues to take its toll. We have a progressive mayor and city council working to solve these issues along with the racial issues. Housing is expensive unless you live in the boonies. My recommendation is to research the area, visit in the summer and in the winter months to get an idea of the weather. Despite my complaints, I’ll stay here rather than move somewhere less expensive. Good luck!

Love your sense of humor, thx for putting a smile on my face😁
Watching this is so going to make me go watch all favourite vids again ...... Just too drool uncontrollably again 😋😋
Life changing food for me, Lord Stow's Portuguese egg tarts in Macau. Still warm from the oven. Heaven!!
Hey Mikey love all of your channels! Appreciate you staying positive in the midst of a hard time.

Your stay at the ryokan will never be forgotten. 💕 The treasure you found in the taste & texture of A5 Wagyu is unforgettable. 💖
This video is the essence of why I love your videos Mikey! Fun, insightful, saliva inducing, entertaining. Keep it up mate.
playing your videos and listening to your stories are my favourite thing to do now.

Hey Mikey I really like this video format; you just sitting down with a meal and talking about food. It's great.
Your upload schedule on this channel is the best! Friday night when you're looking for entertaining videos to watch and Sunday night when you're dreading work the next day
I really love how excited you are remembering those yummy foods you ate while describing it, that is very much like me, I really love telling or recommending others every yummy foods I ate, one time my boyfriend ask me if I ever told other people about him with those same excitement, I just flatly said "NO". Hahaha
You sooo deserve the 1 mill subs. Been watching your vids for a long time. Congrats Mikey!
I could listen to your stories all night long. Great video.
You have reignited my faith in humanity. Just the fact that you use this platform to uplift is amazing.

Hey mikey, so happy you considered our lechon one of the best food you've had. Youre the only utuber that i watch that i finish every single video! We need more scary stories soon!
Dude, you are awsome. Is there anything you are not awsome at? You make my day with each video for years... you are amazing!
I look forward to your videos so much you have no idea, keep up the great work greetings from Toronto Canada!
Watching you enjoy all that delicious food when I’m stuck in a foreign country with no access to any of that, makes me hate you as much as I love you lol... love your videos ❤️
Can you talk about if you’ve ever gotten homesick while traveling and how you dealt with it
Mike you're literally making love to food! I love your food descriptions!
Another entertaining video! Thanks Mikey! Be safe, y'all!
So glad you posted this I always wanted to know best and worst foods you've had. 😍
Your love about Pho is how I feel about Tsukemen. The first bite I had in my life was like an enlightening 🤯😭🤤. Thanks for what you are offering Mikey . It makes this pandemic / revolutionary time a little more bearable 🥺🤗
I love how he realy love his food and we can see it in every video.
I had my first Ramune just a couple days ago that i picked up from a local oriental grocery and i was very impressed! By the packaging and the flavor!
I really remember that episode withe the bacon and the ribs I think I have seen every single episode u have made since otgw days loved everyone of them x
love when u do stories it like the best like the food poisonig one and the afterlife was great ones hope u do more keep it up
I can literally listen to mike speaking for hourss
So happy to see the Philippines on your list of best food experiences! ❤️🇵🇭
I recently came across your channels......I adore them!!!! You are so engaging to watch!!! I love to watch how much you enjoy food!!!! Please come to New England I would love to eat with you!!!!!
Wow I've seen most of the episodes he talked about those were the exact places that stood out in my memory of favorite places he went. There was also this place that let you bring your own groceries from the shops in the area and they cook it for you--- that place really stuck with me for some reason too xD
Great, now I'm craving dim sum sooooo badly! You're amazing Mikey, I love your food talks and reviews.
Stay safe 🙏🏼😊🌸 everything looked yummy!! 👍🏼
Yea so happy to see you I’m starving!!i have no idea what I want to eat!!

I lived in Seattle's Chinatown back in 1985. My daughter was born at the University of Seattle's hospital on mother's day in 1985. And seeing some of what it looks like now, makes me miss being there.
yaayy thank for the content uncle chen!
My husband and i always look forward to your videos! We live in a small town in Washington called Humptulips. So we don't get out much. Especially now that I'm 38 weeks pregnant and with the pandemic going on. So it's nice being able to hear you talk to us like friends would and being able to live vicariously through you when it comes to cool foods😊 Keep up the positive energy. Much love sent your way from Humptulips Washington.🥰🌲

I've had Homestyle's dim sum, I really love their stuff! Also for the brain soup in Taiwan, a lot of Taiwanese people don't like it themselves (including myself and some of my family members), so you're not the only one lol 😂 seeing you talk about Jing Fun (金鋒滷肉飯) makes me miss it so much, whenever I go back to Taipei to visit family (I'm actually from Tainan but I live in Seattle now) I have to get the braised pork over rice from Jing Fun.
Your videos are the only ones I have to get my speaker out for.
Im headed to Renton This weekend for a photoshoot and you Sir have made me want to get all the dumplings and Dim Sum now.
I went to Homestyle the last time I was in Seattle. I was so good. Very homemade feeling and the portions were enormous. The shui mai were gigantic.
Awesome vid once again, Mikey. ❤️ You. 🌻🙋🏼♀️
Tbh I watch all of your recipe videos but the one I want to see the most is you showing us how to make that bacon bowl i think I've watched the videos like 4 times
Just had some!! Dim sum morning!! We call that football here in OC lol. You’re such a humble person. Thanks for your explanation of why you don’t post videos of food you didn’t like.
Good morning from Belfast, Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
The "football" shaped dumpling and tofu wrapped item are my favourites! a must-have when eating dimsum... actually everything is my favourite lol
oh boy buddy ,you had lots of energy today ! totally fun though ,thanks !
Mickey, your video's made me try so much more food. I'm in love with pork/prawns crispy wontons. I liked wonton soup already. Tried several dim sums, but some are to my liking, while others give me the goosebumps. The crispy pork is hard to get good one. You just told about American Chinese restaurants, we have Dutch Chinese restaurants. And I love hot pot. Had Chinese cleaners (students) and they made it at my house with boyfriends. Great winter dish. So in short, thank you for broading(?) my horizon.
I'm so glad you got Home Style Dim Sum! I've lived in Seattle my whole life, and can say it's pretty amazing for a hole in the wall. The buns are so GOOD. Within the last year Home Style got new owners and renamed to Home Style from Duk Li Dim Sum, but staff is still very sweet and food is still up to standards. ANYWHO, I'm definitely waking up early and driving out tomorrow to get some.
I love that you plated everything because I would never
It’s Ham Sui Gok.. My absolute favourite when I go for Dim Sum. I used to eat so many.
It would make a really nice video if mike revisited all of his fav places around the world it will take a A LOT of time and effort but I think it will be worth it. Anyway big fan of your videos keep it up🖤
"Dim Sum Lights" I have 3 kids and my Dad jokes aren't at this level...well played
