I used to go to Vancouver a few times a year because my grandparents were still there. That was back when my parents were choosing places to eat and their tastes are definitely a little blander, but even the average Chinese restaurants were great. When I was a bit older, I lived there for a semester and got to try the local sushi scene and some Indian foods and everything was fantastic. There are great fancy places, but even the neighborhood hole in the wall places are worth trying.
Happy Lunar Yea for you and your family. Hope you have a prosperous and healthy year. The food looks amazing and delicious. I love to eat 🍜 and dumplings
Agree - super delicious food throughout this episode! Mike chose a great city (and some excellent dishes) to kick off his new year. He must have good fortune coming his way 😅
I’m surprised at some of your selections of restaurants. Born and raised in Vancouver and there are plenty others that could give a run for the money on those choices. Nevertheless, still good choices.
Putting away my wedding cake from yesterday while I'm watching Mikey Chen at 10:36 pm is the best way to end my weekend!!! Can't wait to go to Van!! You're not too far from me!! I'm in Alberta! Come check out Banff.
Nice seeing you eating these delicious noodles in Vancouver.. Hope you bring with you your beautiful GF on this beautiful noodle restaurant here in Vancouver Canada
I come from a very poor village from Serbia (moved to Canada in 1996) but we'd see all the elders going around after a rainfall to collect big bags of snails to eat and sell at the market. First time eating snail was in Canada with garlic butter. This just reminded me of that, nice video :)
You got tired of reviewing the good food so now you are reviewing Chinese VS. Japanese Ramen 🍜!!!!!!! How about reviewing Chinese VS. Japanese Abalone VS. Korean Abalone????!!!!!!! I hope you can review some delicacy foods that you have never done before. You have done tons of all kinds of noodles or ramen reviews before!!!!!!! Oh, but those snails are big and look good. The scallops, octopus 🐙 and oysters plus clams soup are good too. But, never any sea cucumber and abalone!!!!!
Yay another seafood and noodle video. Could you please do something different man. Germany and schnitzel or Russia and borscht. Anything other than raw seafood and damn noodles.
Next time you’re in Vancouver you’ve gotta try Long’s Noodle House for their soup dumplings at Main and 33rd, and Cloud 9 Delicacy in the Empire Mall in Richmond for beef noodle soup and “chicken nuggets”, some of the best fried chicken around!
Viewers should know that a couple of the restaurants reviewed on this channel are in Richmond which is a different city than Vancouver. So, if you're visiting Vancouver from out of town and want to go to some of these restaurants you will have to travel a bit. :)
I live in Vancouver it is incredibly expensive to live here but it is the best big city in Canada. So much nature, so many beaches, such great food of pretty much every variety imaginable.
Mike strikes again! I've been wanting to visit (and pig out in) Vancouver for a long time, and this killer lookin' food only makes things feel more urgent... I need that roti & curry! Thank you Mike 🙏
I live here and you made some fantastic restaurant stops! They used to be called Marutama and it's now Maruhachi. Regardless, it is still some of the best paitan ramen I've ever had! I'm so glad they've slowly expanded to more locations now. :)
I imagine he's on his way back from Japan in this video. Flights from Asia usually stop in Vancouver or Calgary. When I fly through Vancouver I like to schedule an extra-long layover so I can take the quick train ride to Richmond for some awesome eats.
@@lauriepenner350 In my opinion, Richmond has the best Chinese food in Canada, and Surrey probably the best Indian food in Canada. I have yet to find a bowl of dan dan mein to match what I had when I lived in Chengdu.
@@lauriepenner350 Last time I went to Vancouver was indeed a layover lol! But it was a super short one so I couldn't even think about leaving so this is good to know, thanks for the tip~
I love Mikey's videos I have a bad relationship with food for certain periods of time where I either completely don't eat and then binge eat on other times, but these videos make me excited and actually feel hungry so I can eat two slices of bread and feel full and watch the video while I eat Don't know if anyone will read this but yea
After watching you first go to R&H Chinese food for the soup dumplings, I made sure to check it out & loved them! I make sure to go back every time I'm in Vancouver. Can safely say it is one of my favourite foods
I don't know if you notice this but when you really like a dish you shake your head no.. I can just imagine the cooks not being able to hear you and freaking out thinking you hate it! 🍜👨🏼🍳😧
As a kid I grew up looking at snails and being grossed out the same way as slugs. Slimy, tentacle eyes, etc, so just adding the word "sea" to it doesn't help. I cannot eat snails.
Wantons (云吞) are all about the thin skin rather than the filling. It’s supposed to give one the look and texture of swallowing clouds. Bubble wantons are the epitome of thin skinned wantons with a tiny amount of fillings. If you’re more into the fillings, look for dumplings
Is all that starchy Noodles good forbhim to eat 6 bowls a day and buffet on top of that! I hope he sees a doctor everyday 3 months and about Diabetes. Careful Mike.
I love hidden gem shacks…dives always have great food. I found a complete dive bar that had a small menu of completely amazing food that the bar was making on very minimal equipment. Everyday was a small minimal menu that just kept getting better day after day. Years later the word got out and now you can’t get a seat in the place for hours 😢
Its so weird to see Mike going to eat ion places i been to since i live in vancouver. Its cool to know I've tried some places that he's given high praise
Welcome back to BC, glad you enjoyed your short visit. Love your other Vancouver videos in the past, hope you do another series here some day. Safe travels.
Next time you are there, eat at Sashimi-ya. I went looking for this place that was supposed to have amazing sushi and was very surprised to find a literal convenience store. The sashimi was indeed amazing. I later learned that Sashimi-ya is run by the former sushi chef at the prestigious Fairmont Hotel, who quit his job to sell the freshest fish in Vancouver out of a space smaller than a 7-11. Get the deluxe sashimi rice bowl and eat it at the park down the street while enjoying the incredible view of the harbour and mountains.
Born and raised and still live in Vancouver - Richmond actually where most of these restaurants are. R&H at Lansdowne has the best soup dumplings ever.
I love a traditional hot n sour soup and of course I love dumings..so I'd be all over that soup..but that beef soup..oh wow that looked soo good! Haha. Ok I just want every single thing you just ate! Okok
Heey Mikey, my girlfriend and I have been watching you for so many years now!! We’ve tried so many different types of food because of you!! We can’t believe you were able to visit the Vancouver area again, we’re from the area! Another mall you need to visit the next time your around is Henderson Mall for some of the best Asian food!
when i went to shanghai across from hotel had an amazing restaurant you would order and pick up the dumplings outside they were so good i ate every morning for two weeks
ive been to that Raman place and i had that bowl you had, i was not a fan and i have had a few bowls from that place, UNO is amazing, the steak one is so good, next time i go i'll get the mala soup cause i love mala, and hes 100% right about the dumpling place in the mall, i have eaten 3 orders in one sitting.and got the burgers they have to go cause they are also really good, hes had them in an earlier vid from a few years back.
Mikey, if you like Taiwanese beef noodle soup, you need to try RedBeef Noodle Kitchen next time you are back in Vancouver! They have a chili paste that is to die for and super chewy noodles, as well as flavourful soup and tender beef.
The xiao long bao and daily delicious bakery with croissants are two of my fav places! Glad you featured them in your video. Same as Marutama ramen. Next time if you visit again you should try the ramen with an egg!
