lol the amount of "why is that guy talking to a camera" expressions though
that's so true but if I was there I would just jump in and say my greetings to him/take pictures, then leave, and when I come home I'll cry tears of joy if I can!
man you need to train more lower back and rear delts.
Suj.97 lol ikr
What's funny is the consistent stare.
😂😂
You need to re-name your channel to 'strictly hot oil'.
OMFG i spit out my food
LOL! Very true. He probably likes hot oil more than dumplings.
@flyingbutthole haha! seriously! thats all he thinks about is hot oil like damn show us a place where you can get a decent stir fry! my god i could walk you guys around tons of places in brooklyn where stir fry at least for me is king. i grew up on cantonese stir frys and trust me manhattan chinatown is not the place to be? but it does have some hidden gems that he completely overlooked.

And hot pots. Especially hot pots
Hey Mr.dumpling, i really appreciate a youtuber who is honest! a lot of tubers these days overhype everything they eat, they never tell us the food isn't actually that good. thanks for being a real food critic !
Lam Cao TRUE THAT JUST LIKE THE FUNG BROS....VERY DISSAPOINTING WENT TO THE RESTO THEY OVERHYPED THE SAVOY RESTO IT WAS VERY DISSAPOINTING FOOD WAS OVERBOARD MEDIOCRE😏
Mark Wiens
Everything tasted orgasmic to him
LOL! dude fungbros is the first channel I thought of when i wrote that comment.
kelvinyany lol yeah either that dude never had decent food in his life before or hes just way too enthusiastic for me. #debbieDowner4life
Actually I think he hasnt eaten in enough places in the nyc chinatown. Obviously Mike is not a New Yorker. Canal Street is not a chinatown food place. You have to go further down Canal St to get to the food. Not the chinatown part of canal. There's tons of places that are awesome. I'm from nyc and i been going to chinatown forever. Peking Duck House is the best peking duck. I don't care what Mike says. Jin Fung has incredible dim sum and cheap. I love that place. Hop Kee is an Anthony Bourdain fave for a reason. Tai Son is awesome Vietnamese. Bo Kee is the best noodle place and cheap.
"If you walk in here all... you know... white" Hahahaha I'm dead xD so true
Cierra Rose same in Europe. You go to Rome or Paris and all you see is Chinese and Japanese tourists.
Scared Straight 2016 The Predators lol I'm racist? I'm white it's called having a sense of humor 🙄 it's also me being culturally aware. Try it sometime maybe
Scared Straight 2016 The Predators you're rude.
My favourite part of the video. Had me dying 😂😂😂
When is he coming to El Paso
The Malaysian jerky shop owners seem so sweet, hope their business picks up from this vid.
Jaywalker Pictures She said that she gets a few new people because of this video. She is just as nice in person as she is in the video. Very sweet lady.
She works all by herself the woman with the glasses she’s a good friend of my grandmas she has no workers
Oh no one has to worry about these owners, they make more money than anyone, they even raise their prices every year and people still buy them
My child has already made me promise to take him here. You had him at “fresh jerky”
Okay. I grew up in Chinatown, spent my days living in Chinatown so I feel like there are certain things that I wanted to touch upon in this video.
I get that there aren't a lot of great places to eat, but East Broadway does have more to offer than Mike says.
There are a few really good places to eat on those particular streets, particular one which offers an amazing Fuzhounese breakfast.
Every friend that I've taken has loved it.
Not many are familiar with Fuzhounese food but that's probably why Mike feels like there isn't anything to eat at East Broadway.
The place that he says not to go to eat at in the beginning of the video, I agree with not going upstairs to the dim sum place upstairs but there are a few really good places down in the basement.
For the jewelry, I agree with Mike. They offer better deals than most western places.
My mum has been working at the same company as one of the stores that was shown in the video for maybe 15 years now and used to work at one of the Chinatown locations.
Compared to a western jewelry place, they might overcharge you by an extra $3000-$6000 for a piece of jewelry that could be the same quality or greater quality at a Chinese place.
I also used to live at Eldridge and honestly, Vanessa's dumplings is just overhyped. It used to be really good but sadly, it's not as good anymore. I feel like they cater more towards their American customers' now.
Susan C. the skin getting too doughy eh?
getter3in1 That and I think it's been over hyped. There are better dumpling places out there.
Prosperity is one of the good place, last time I checked the owner opened a place in Brooklyn close to where sake sushi is
Vanessa's is def over hyped. Just like Joe's shanghai.
All you’ve said was facts
-also born and raised in Chinatown
I heard some of those weddings end up with fights because of the wedding gifts.
Damn Mike really doesn't like Manhattan Chinatown.
I knowwww... I'm just watching I dk these places I'm from Florida it's so funny tho hes so real about it... in beginning of vid hes like "Manhattan china town is BY FAR the worse"
Hi Mike, I enjoy watching your videos. Just want to let you know that there's actually a small hidden gem inside of 88 East Broadway. It's a fujianese restaurant, located in the basement behind the stairs. Their stream buns, oxtail noodle soup, bian rou (fj wonton), peanut noodle dishes are worth a try, very cheap. You can get all these dishes for about $12. hope u get to try out one day.
who is that lady in the leopard print that keeps magically appearing in the shot?
lol i noticed that too
timestamp?
ShiniGamiGG @2:15 and @2:32
Oh ya lol... thanks
When he was eating he said his aunt was next to him.
"If you're walking here all white", white girl walking right behind him LOL
don key at least he's honest :/
And then the white girl speaks better Mandarin than a native lol.
If you notice the camera cut off as she surely must of smacked him. :)
The jerky looks like it would be delicious with a soft bun or cut into smaller pieces and mixed with rice. Yum!!
I am a Brooklyn native. I don't know where to eat in Chinatown and I always get lost because the streets are not numbered. I usually just grab a Vietnamese sandwich or ice cream from Chinatown ice cream factory. I've recently discovered Xi'an noodles. They are really good too!
OMG. The jerky talk reminded me of growing up north of the boarder, and Jimmy's Chinese Style Beef Jerky from Vancouver. Came in plastic wrapping and inside a box with pictures. Two flavours, sweet and sweet/hot..miss it so much.
Quickly becoming my favorite channel for this style of content. Thank you for the upload! So glad I found it.
I love the Manhattan Chinatown, because you can still catch a glimpse of the old new York. Little Italy nearby used to be an active immigrant community too. So if you're interested in seeing the old New york, when immigrants swarm the streets of Manhattan, go and take a look.
I remember the last time I was on canal street. I had a white friend who bought a knockoff duffel for 80$ and I got the same one from the same seller for 15$. The only reason for the difference? I can speak Chinese. ;)
Francis Shue you can't speak Chinese because Chinese is not a language
@Bearded Dragon Man 1997 come on dragon man. we all know it's a race and nationality. but if your Chinese, you speak Chinese/mandarin
XxScArEcRoWxX1 Thats like saying im american so I speak American/English
Mandarin/Cantonese(Canto being the harder language). Let's not talk about what we don't know now.
Gnat Foehn Haha. Canto is definitely not the harder language between those two.
I love how you don't care that the restaurant was caught making dumplings in the back ally. I'm totally with you! It's no different then getting food from an outdoor BBQ or a food cart. And if the food is great, I often turn a blind eye to things that might not agree with other people :-)
Mikey is a SAVAGE in this video! I love the honesty and frankly, I love Mikey too. No creepy. xD
Hello SD, note to your three part NYC Chinatown food. This one of NYC's could have been about the change in the people. It is the first and it will always be remembered as the first with a cha low - dim sum. The area breakdown is Mott is the oldest from nolita down to Pell. The roast meats over rice was there. East Broadway area was our breath of fresh air for nice dine in restaurants good Cantonese and Szechuan. Grand was groceries and maybe Vietnamese also on Baxter. Long history for me - a mural and the only mural of a time was on Hester. It was meant to. Elle for sampan congee
This makes me happy and sad at the same time. Me and my close friend used to make frequent trips down to Chinatown (We're from Philly) to eat and walk around. It was so much fun! She has since passed away though so it does break my heart but I'm thankful for the great memories!
"If you walk in here all... white". That had me dying lmao
I'm a Malaysian!!!!! Finally a Malaysian jerky shop in USA!!!!
there actually are a few more sprinkled here and there in chinatown nyc. and im pretty sure there are many malaysian jerky shops in usa that you just dont know about
Janet Tan I am Malaysian. Apa khabar?
themanager1980 baik
handball is in pretty much every Australian primary and highschool and always has been, I had no idea that people hadn't heard of it
in germany too
Christmas Crustacean and in Ireland
Christmas Crustacean
wow i always thought it was a new york thing! didn't know so many other countries played it or knew it existed
Canada too !!
I grew up in manhattan chinatown, and I agree, it isn't what it used to be. I was anticipating this shop called May wah fast food the whole video, and I was so disappointed it wasn't in here! Have you had it before? They serve chicken leg over rice (with meat sauce) for like $5! Its on Hester street. Check it out if you havent~~
You missed Big Wong on Mott, they open at 7am, best duck congee I've ever had for breakfast.
There is a place called Veniero's that has really good Italian desserts. There lobster tail is also very good.
I love how he keeps it so real about the over hyped, mediocre places to avoid! I feel like I'll be experiencing the very best of each Chinatown when I visit now 👏👏👏👏
Pho Grand, best i've found in the city.
usually i like your videos, but as someone who knows this neighborhood very well.. lol.. there's quite a few things mentioned that is debatable
14:31 yep. Feel like someone wronged him in one of these allies in the past.
You ignored the best place on Bayard, which is really good because I don't want tourists going there. Thank you.
which one?
East Dumpling is now Prosperity? Hope its the same owner!
not the same :( horrible !!!
Now it's King Dumpling-different location, but original Prosperity owner. WAY better than East Dumpling.
You were absolutely savage. This was really helpful and entertaining, though. Thanks!
I almost got lost in Chinatown. But for some reason every time I go to America. I don't eat a lot lol, I'm never hungry but whenever I come back to Switzerland. I would crave for some good food from America.
Chesa Djanelle same thing happened to me when I went to Taiwan. surrounded by amazing food but didn't had much of an appetite :(
hey I really like this one. you just let it rip with good information.
I've been to Vanessa's Dumpling House when I went to visit NYC. My friend who lives there recommended it. It was SOOOO good!!! Definitely the best meal I had my whole trip (and the cheapest)! I will have to try the sesame pancake next time I visit! :-)
i would recommend the one with duck! thats my favorite from vanessas.
ive tried the beef multiple times and every time its been pretty dry.
just know that your hands will be drenched in oil because the sesame pancake is deep fried in oil, but it is so worth it :D
Megan Williams i always go there in Chinatown for dumplings. It's really good.
amoustaf he pointed at a place not to go but I always go there
The food are pretty good
Awesome People same lol im just like mike hates too much on manhattan's chinatown
I don't live in New York, and don't have plans to visit anytime soon, but I like the way people talk about food on this channel.
As a Malaysian, I'm actually quite surprised that someone from Malaysia opened a store in a Chinatown there! Those jerky are quite commonplace here, so I never really thought to compare them to American-style jerky. Glad to see that the shopowners are making a living in foreign places.
Also thanks for the honest opinions on the place, if I ever go here, I'd follow your recommendations :3
I know it's not chinese, but right around the corner of the big curch on Mott, you go down the sloping street towards the park and there's an amazing Thai grocery. Bangkok Grocery, please go there if you haven't. They're a tiny foodie oasis. Shout-out to Bangkok grocery.
it is so cool how just some miles away there are 3 different china town with distinctive operation, food, and vibe. i want to go there one day
I lived in NYC Chinatown for 25 years, moved to CA in 2011. I missed this place so much, thank you Mike for this awesome tour!
Start a food tour, I'd buy tickets for two
Manhattan's Chinatown started to lose its edge since the late 1990's. Gentrification on the Lower East Side, which was traditionally an immigrant, working class neighborhood, started to encroach on Chinatown's borders, a trend that continues today. Rising rents convinced newly arrived immigrants to look for cheaper options elsewhere, such as Queens and Brooklyn.
Another major blow was the 9/11 attacks. Due to its location, Chinatown became a "frozen zone" as no trucks were allowed south of Canal St, not to mention smoke and dust filled the air. Businesses could not get deliveries or customers for months. Some had to close down or relocate. Think of it. Most of Chinatown's business comes from the weekend suburban families looking to shop groceries and have dim sum. With the growing neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, and the New Jersey suburbs, families became open to other options.
Many longtime residents have said the neighborhood hasn't been the same since, and the loss of the Twin Towers became a major setback of Manhattan's Chinatown.
"if you walk in here all white... you might not get that good of a deal" LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you for this tour of Manhattan's Chinatown. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Mott Street. Anyone remember the Arcade with the chicken that played TicTacToe?
Your lasted videos has been amazing
i agree :)
linh nguyen ，
Lol " counterfeit purses!" Hahhahaha on Canal St, 😂
& the woks at ur dad's store are chained up lol😂😂😂😂😂
Pho Grand and Vanessa are my favs!!
That scallion pancake sandwich is da bomb
Bro’, you’ve hammered my beloved Chinatown to the ground. I’m Puertorican, born and raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the beauty of living there is the diversity of the people and their cultures. Chinatown is one of my favorite or perhaps THE favorite spot to eat in New York. I agree that there are some restaurants that are better than others but you make it seem like they’re “dangerous” or something by unnecessarily “warning” your subscribers! I will respectfully disagree with you, Chinatown is in fact beautiful with the crowds, the stores and vendors , even the “street meat” is tasty. Like I said: I may be Hispanic but I love and respect my Asian brothers and sisters and love my Chinatown!
You should do a video on places like this in San Francisco!
There seems to be a lot of similarity between Indian and Chinese weddings 😂
I thought the same...especially with all the gold
😂😂ikr
Indian and Chinese cultures seems to be mirror images of each other
dandhan87 I agree , they also know how to treat the elders of their family unlike Americans who toss them aside.
I AM AMERICAN. I TOOK CARE OF MY SWEET GRANDMOMMY WHO DIED AT 93, MY DAD, HER SON, DIED OF AN ANYUERISM AT THE AGE OF 43, I WAS FIRST IN FAMILY TO GRADUATE COLLEGE, AND MY GRANDMOTHER WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSON I EVER MET; I TOOK HER TO JAZZ CONCERTS UP IN SARATOGA , NY, PAID HER BILLS, AND LOVED HER -- UNLIKE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, WHO NEVER SPENT TIME WITH ELDERS AND GRAB PROPERTY WHEN ELDERS HAVE DIED, I WANTED HER TO LIVE FOREVER. AMERICANS ARE OF MANY RACES, CULTURES ETC. WE ARE NOT MONOLITHIC. DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW HOW AMERICANS ARE WITH ELDERS. BLACK AND JEWISH, HISPANIC , IRISH, ITALIAN, MUSLIMS, ASIANS, LOVE THEIR NANAS. I AM BLACK. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR MY EXPERIENCE, I LOVE MY GRANDMOMMY AND STILL CRY FOR HER PRESENCE AND WISDOM ON THIS EARTH.
People from Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Manhattan grew up playing HANDBALL. LOL... don't knock it! We still love you.
I looooove Mott Street. ❤️ It seriously does my heart good to see that Aji Ichiban is still there! The first time I ever tasted mango was there, and I LOVE their dried sugared rose petals. I need to find some time to visit from far northwest NJ, as it's been a few years since I've visited the city. Just too expensive to take a train in from here, or bus, or even drive and park... ;~;.
Mike please do a 2019 version of this video please and thank you! 😊
The first and only time I had a lobster tail pastry, it was sooooo crispy that a tiny bit of the flakey pastry managed to wedge itself into my gum. XD So painful, but so worth it.
Ok, I'm sold! Just subscribed due to your good amount sense of humor😂😂😂😂😂😂
I get to go to Chinatown and Little Italy for a school trip and I'm gonna literally eat everything
I feel like he talked about the shitty places more than actual recommendations of good places...
at least we know which places to avoid amiright?
Because there aren't many good places just some.hidden gems. Two hidden gems I like are both on Mott street. There is a chopstick shop that sells handmade chopsticks and fans and combs and then there is noodle village which is my go to Chinatown place to eat. I used to recommend Elizabeth street mall but this is back when J & L gameshop was around there. Now there isnt much down there. I also back up his bakery recommendation on mulberry st except they sell lobster tails (also my fav treat) every day now so enjoy. There used to be s lady on doyers who sold fresh scallion pancakes outside but she dissapeared
@@clarissakrigger4599 your absolutely right...where did she go....
@@clarissakrigger4599 What's the name of the chopstick shop?
@@moreadventure3627 Yùnhóng Chopsticks
make one of the SF chinatown please!
No needs. SF Chinatown is quite boring, comparing to NY Manhattan Chinatown. Besides, he doesn't live in SF; he lives somewhere south and an hour away.
I think he would live more near Oakland Chinatown which I would recommend Gum Wah for their congee.
Hop Kee on Mott is the only reason I go to Chinatown Manhattan. Great snails, clams, flounder and duck. Place is could use a good power wash but its worth it. Real Authentic Chinese food.
Having had food just 15 mins ago and being hungry again speaks volumes about the way you present the food content.......keep it up Mikey!!
he ate 3 lobster tails and said the reason why he was eating that much was bcuz it's his meal for the day... lol strictly dumpling did u forgot...?
It would be nice, if you told us what was good, rather than all the crap joints.
Erika Tamas I agree!
I agree. Okay I get it , you don’t like Manhattan Chinatown.
I've had the jerky at that place, and it's great. Maybe the best jerky I've had, but there's another difference between western jerky and this jerky. Western jerky is super dried so that it keeps and travels well, for back in the old days of pioneers and not so many takeout restaurants in every corner, I imagine. The jerky here though spoils rather quickly if not kept in the fridge and will develop mold. It's a very wet jerky. If you're a cowboy and need something for the journey, go with the western variety.
You are mostly right about every place. I only eat at selective places. 66 Mott st Amazing 66, 98 Mott st Joy Luck Palace, across the st Royal Seafood has the best seafood around and you missed the gem of chinatown Kam Hing Bakery @ 118 Baxter st. Been around for ages. 50 plus years or more
9:38 as mike says that, a white lady walks beside him haha
Shu Jiao Fu Zhou Cuisine Restaurant, wohop, lam Zhou pulled noodles, and many more places are delicious and authentic places to eat at. Usually love your videos, but this video doesn't represent what NYC Chinatown has to offer. Many places you visited are not where locals go, for example your trip to Vanessa dumplings. Not trying to be negative but more research should be done. Also the dumpling shop that shut down for health violation was called prosperity and the new store is a different dumpling store opening at that location.
Used to work in Manhattan within walking distance of Chinatown, Little Italy & the South Street Seaport. Group lunches were amazing.
Hahaha " it's cheaper because definitely they don't do anything to keep flies away". Mikey have a great sarcastic sense of humor:):)
what flavor jerky do they have at the jerky place ?
Best chow fun in NYC...Wo Hop Restaurant. 17 Mott St (btwn Worth & Mosco St), New York, NY
Flushing is my favorite Chinatown
Mike, thanks for your honest assessment. It’s really appreciated by those of us who eat out a lot, and those who don’t.
He seems a little salty in this video.
Yes he does. Very unlike him.
So how come mike disses this chinatown by saying "its so crowded. I feel like im in china".....it is as real a chinatown as you can get. Thats the point. Authentic chinese. Duh. Why would you want to go to a fake china?? Its not Disneyworld. Mike is a spoiled snob. I like how crowded it is. Full of chinese people means the food is fresh, cheap and tastes good.
Mee Sum Cafe, oldest cafe still in continuous operation in Chinatown, get the salty chicken. And Kam Hing Coffee Shop for the chiffon cakes. Goooooo
So you're telling me I need to marry a Chinese girl right?
he didnt really tell the full story. so they will have a HUGE wedding dinner, but those dinners are expensive. so the couples dont actually keep a lot. (family from both husband and wife, then extended families such as cousins, 2nd cousins, friends etc) lets say 1 table is around 12 people, each table will be around $400-$600+ (depending on what is served). and there are usually around 15-20+ tables. So that is around $6000-$120000+ just for dinner. then theres the dress, wedding rings, wedding ceremonies etc
ssooo yeah go ahead and marry a chinese girl lol
VIPyellowwolfy21 Well I was just joking haha I'll take what I can get.
Ash ik ik lol
Not necessarily.
Many Vietnamese restaurants in NYC are owned by 越南华侨
Zer0zUNLTD. the stereotyping of you speaking Cantonese so you not Vietnamese... yup
Agree and it is fact!! 95% of all Vietnamese restaurants are own by Vietnamese in NYC.
I watched this video last night so I could decide where to go for lunch in Manhattan - I was not disappointed. I went with your recommendations at Vanessa's Dumplings and had a great, satisfying experience. Thanks!
Omg i wish you made this video before hand. ;~; I went to Joe's Shanghai because they made such a big deal about it, but of course it's a tourist spot. It honestly did not taste great and I was really hoping to have some great soup dumplings. It was my first and last time having soup dumplings. >:
Mike, can you be my Chinese negotiator friend?
Never eat from nywhere under a railway bridge. 🐀🐁🐁
Thanks for the video :D The sesame pancake with beef on Vanessas Dumpling place is to die for, AWESOME, and highly recommended.
im in flushing but im in chinatown here and there, never knew that i could get jerky, deff going to check it out. thanks for the heads up
You look like Jackie Chan.
Why do so many Chinese restaurants end up getting shut down for health violations? Is it a cultural issue or are they not providing kickbacks or something?
Chinese restaurants get a bad reputation for adhering to health codes. And deservedly so.
A lot are in older more run down parts of the city. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Pooh Bear it is also because most those families who open businesses in the cities have no other means of making an income. They stake all their savings on the store.
I think Mikey has developed alot since this video and wouldn't be near this harsh if he were to do something similar today.
when i lived in New York I loved going to Manhattan Chinatown for there art supply stores, but flushing queens is def my fav for Asian foods. This one place has awesome sushi made right in front of you
Honestly, I think that your are being way over critical in this video and missed a lot of what NYC chinatown has to offer in both food/culture. Vanessa's dumplings is not a "hidden gem." (Neither is a few of those other places you mentioned) Vanessa's dumpling is overhyped and touristy. All the locals know that the best places to get dumplings are from a couple small hole in the wall places. Coming from someone who grew up and currently lives here, it doesn't seem like you know what you're talking about. No hate, I know some of the things you said were accurate such as that mall not haven't much to offer but I don't like my hometown being bashed.
Jude do you have any dumplings recommended? I'm here for a week and need to know spots and what do you recommend for pho? thanks
Could you please share your places?
Jude RIGHT! Jude we really should connect my friends and I do a dumpling tour all over Chinatown twice a yr ( you just missed the fall one) but we are going to do a taco one next week! it is just good times, food and drinks
Fukienese opinion of Cantonese food
I know I'm late, but did you see his other 2 Chinatown videos (parts 1 and 3)? Very favorable reviews. He used to live in NYC and he is just giving his honest opinion.
How are you still stole and eat so much??!?!!
Swole not stole
that's how get muscular bro. you eat
born and bred in NYC chinatown, curious to know what your experience has been in that mall on East Broadway LOL. You're absolutely right about Manhattan Chinatown..FLUSHING, Queens has THEE best food. OMG...a very good variety as well.
The sandwich w/ the tiny bit of meat is why I don't like banh mi at a lot of places. Not that I'm looking for a 1/4-1/2 lb of meat in one, but just 2 or 3 super-thin slices is barely noticeable in the sandwich.
this guy must be a california transplant.. He has no idea what he is talking about
Dude all your basically doing in this video is bashing the Chinatown in NYC. Why even make this video?
B&D Yang there’s more than one Chinatown
Best beef jerky ever. Avoid the grounded square ones and go for the original flanks much better mouth feel.
BTW if you love sesame pancake and around Vanessa's head on Spicy Village on Forsyth and try their pan fried bun with pork and cilantro very simple but absolutely amazing.
Love the honesty of this video, wish you
did it more now
Disappointed by this video! You didn’t highlight all the legit non tourist places there. Is it because you are more into queens? You talk about lobster tail and your Dad’s store. LOL
Ugh I used to like him but I can't stand him. Everything is about hot oil and if its not food the Chinese food that he grew up eating, he doesn't like it. Whenever it comes down to Cantonese food or Cantonese style food. He just calls it bland, telling others that there's "nothing good here" is strictly HIS opinion. I've traveled and lived all over and tend to keep an open mind when trying other cultures foods and such and is appalled at some of his comments. Some of his videos are fun to watch others are so strictly biased and one sided that it makes me cringe. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I wish he wouldn't keep shoving his down our throats. Please be more open minded
He's not forcing things down people's throat he's just suggesting where to eat and where not to eat based on his personal experience. His channel=his opinions and people do have different experiences at places
Thank god i was not the only one
make your own videos then
Food critics are like movie critics. Once you know their taste you know whether to listen to them or not.
you need to check out this dumpling spot in the back street in China town.... 106 mosco st. ny ny. 2 Lil Chinese lady make the best dumplings has down. we order 20$ of cooked and 36$ worth of frozen ones when we are down there. great spot
I know I’m 6 years late to this video but I saw Chinatown ice cream factory in the description and then heard how you were talking about the rest of the places and was ready to throw down. I’ve been going there since I was a kid and will defend that lychee ice cream to the end of time. 88 Palace was really good dim sum as a kid but it definitely started going downhill the last several years.
Mate, I'm Australian chinese, plenty of big chinese communities here as well. You are generalising way too much. ?Most Chinese weddings are Sunday, monday, or Tuesday? Because most chinese people have to work at restaurants? what are you talking about? Most chinese I know work in accounting, law, engineering, medicine. Get a job real job mate. you are generalising and clowning chinese as if you are grew up in the 1920s.
Dawei Huang technically he said the Chinese from the fuhjian province or whatever
Dawei Huang cry me a river, mate.
My family comes from Fujian and its mostly true. I don't like how Mike knocks some of the places (many of which I have actually been to and are between passable or great), but I think he has more of a pulse on the NY food scene than me.
