my life as a 25 year old restaurant owner 

Somewhere between an adult and a kid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is anyone else so impressed by Kevin? Head chef, farmer/gardener, fridge fixer/electrician, master twerker, businessman. The list goes on…

Kevin’s like a stereotypical dad who’s good at everything and fixes up all kinds of shit.

Poor Kevin is putting his heart and soul in this and all he asked for is some gyro! You guys got this! ☺

Respect for being an Restaurant Owner and having such a big RU-vid channel at 25. Keep it up❤

Coming from 3 generations of restaurant owners on both my mom and dad’s side, it’s not as easy as most people think to own and run a restaurant. My cousins definitely benefit from the wisdom of the older generations when it comes to running efficiently and effectively with no waste as well. It might be beneficial to you if you start conversations within the restaurant owners in your community! It’s definitely a learning curve but it seems like you’re doing well going with the flow 😊. Keep at it! I love watching you grow and keeping thinks as transparent as possible!!

I know everyone is probably tired etc, but damn, lay off Kevin a little? He seems to be doing everything over there (not to say that the others are not) but his work and life experience seems to be invaluable to the success of the restaurant, so maybe a little less ''oh I wanna run away'', ''oh I wanna vacation'' when he, seemingly, is pulling a lot of weight around the business and does not whine? Plus, and no offense, but it seems like he actually has real-life work experience, where Dooby maybe has little to none? Like, do you not see how annoyed he looks at times? This is going to sound harsh, but I do not think you guys could do this without him, so I, personally, would be trying to make his naturally-occuring role of leader as easy as possible. In a relationship you want to be equal, but in a business it's better for one to shine and call most shots and the others to help (also with input). It seems that Kevin is the defacto head, and rightfully so? He seems to know what he's doing, and the others are still learning. I'd just tread a bit more carefully and mind what I say and do when my ''passion project'' and business is being held up and together more by mostly one person. P.S: Obviously personal opinion and it might be off 100% as I do not know anyone personally, but also sometimes different perpectives help, so. Wishing you all luck and strength.

Glad to see Kevin’s personality shown more! Him saying “fck off” was so European to me hahahaha. Also, “let’s go Harry! f you Charles!” The best 😂🫶🏼💕

I love this sitcom like energy!! Congrats on opening to the public!! You got this :D Edit: For cutting menus, I would really recommend getting a guillotine cutter or a rotary trimmer! If you get a nice one it gives you crisp even lines and it save your back from leaning over the cutting mat! The ruler and knife is nice for fine control but has a lot of room for error. I guess you've already made them but if you print at home again in the future its a nice investment!

The dooby and Logan hangout at the end ❤ Great duo, so glad you guys linked up!

That water spraying aggression and its response right at the top of the video... brilliant editing choice 😂 It's the little things in life!

I loved the vlog, I'm just generally noticing that Kevin is not respected enough, even through the editing Tina does like when she fast motioned the video when he was talking about gardening and said it's boring, like, I was interested to actually know this info, yet most the vlog is dooby sometimes not saying anything important. i love you dooby I would watch you all day but I feel like Kevin is treated like he ain't enough, even though he is fixing the fridge, cooking, planning, gardening. He really looks turned off from certain behaviours yet there's no enough respect for him. I am just concerned for you guys because to me, some things feel off and toxic, even subtle.. hope you guys work through it. You always zoom in his pissed off face for "humor", but I honestly feel concerned. You guys are annoying each others like siblings, not couples. I genuinely care for you guys especially that it was so hard to maintain a long distance relationship, now he is here with you, please cherish every moment together. All the best❤️

To think I started watching you during covid when you lived in the UK- and now we’re here 🥹 so happy for your success and looking forward to what’s to come

I’m starting to understand Kevin’s sense of humor more 😂

kevin its not too late to escape

Not sure how it is in Korea, but in Canada, when you start a small business, your aim for the first year is just to SURVIVE. Making profit is to goal after you hit the first year mark.

hearing you and logan talk about maangchi was like, a full circle moment for me because maangchi’s the reason why I fell in love with korean food which essentially led me to you and logan’s channel in the first place so :’)

I appreciate it so much that you still can handle to do videos for us, even tho, u have so much to do. I’m so proud of you!

I still don't get what kind of restaurant this is, is it only open in the evening and do you only take reservations? Would be very interesting so get to know your menu more and what the price of ted food is. Also how do customers find your restaurant?

I love how recently we get to see a bit more of Kevin’s personality come through! The Tomato scene was hilarious😂😂

Y'know Tina I like that you do things and live a life so different from mine. Every time I start getting frustrated that I'd approach something so differently, I see you adjust and grow and adapt. You are incredibly adaptable. Regardless of the privileges you do or do not have, you have a 'can do' attitude, even talking about your fears and frustrations. I think that's what makes me appreciate your efforts and makes me enjoy your vlogs

As a lil kitchen line worker I’m so so proud to watch these videos and go do my lil cooking gig..it’s so so scary being in the restaurant business sometimes and the anxiety definitely peeks but you’re doin amazin!!! ❤❤

Adding potato water to your vege plants and plants in general is really good for them so whenever you soak your potato skin in water for whatever reason you can give it to your plants 🌱

I'm happy to see you thriving! ❤ At 24 I'm still quite far from where I wanna be and it's not easy to be happy and at peace but I'm glad there are people that get to live their dream or close to it, and I'm grateful you're sharing your journey with us, and putting in some good humor too 😂 ✨

You should definitely be a little more respectful to Big Kevin.

If you're serious about your restaurant, don't plan on having a holiday for at least the first two years

My fav part was the beer and watering plants #life goals😆 and Kevin saying “I love gardening “😝

Great video, put guard rails on ur roof. Someone could easily trip/fall tending to your garden. It can happen so much more easier then you think person doesn't even need be drunk.

I love ur show but u just bothered me when u said people at us bbq restaurants don’t ask for tea without sugar.. do u kno how many us people love unsweet tea with a lemon as well.. that shit just floored me

anyone else sensing the tension between them?

Always a amazing day when we get to see a Dooby Vlog. Mark my words we are living in the DOOBY ERA ❤

I don’t know if it helps at all considering your menu is multi course yeah? But, I learned for seating a house, stagger seating your tables. If you have them sat at the same time, they all get up at the same time. And the cycle will continue unless you stagger. So it puts less pressure on the servers, tables are changing over consistently. It does take time though! But I don’t know if that helps with your type of service. But sometimes let the table sit empty for a couple minutes, let the first course come out before seating the next with the same server or at least get the first greeting and/or order in. Best of luck!!!

From making chilli oil ramen to owning a mf restaurant!! IM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU, TINAA❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are my inspiration!!!!

15:23 I love her already. Lmao! I have a feeling her and Tina's senses of humor might just match up.

As I continue watching and observing you and Kevin, I’m in awe and just so mind blown with how smart and calculated you guys have been! I’m definitely so impressed with Kevin and want to give him acknowledgement for his abilities! We are learning so much about you two over the courses of these videos! You all are amazing!!!!

Somehow i feel bad for kevin. I know it was his own choice. But i feel like he puts his heart and soul into this but somehow misses his home or old life and just keeps doing all this because he is already there……

Thanks for the inspiration Tina! I myself recently became a Parkour Academy owner (not really by choice as my fiance and I wanted to ensure our friends didn't run out of a job when the prev company we worked under had to shut down suddenly), and having ZERO business knowlege and no money to invest in things needed for the business - it's been such a rollercoaster ride and I'm running out of steam facing problem after problem. Watching your vlogs gave me a sense of "hey she had major setbacks but she made it, so I can too!" sooooo thank you!! I now feel a bit of inspiration to push just a little more in hopes that one day the problems become more managable and I start seeing the fruits of my labour.

Wow she treats her friend whom she met at the restaurant far better than Kevin. Kevin, you're a hard working guy and waaay more mature than her and deserve soo much more credit. Tina's immaturity at times (even though she calls it being "goofy" or "fun") really annoys me. If you're a business owner ACT like one. Not her already cribbing about vacation and saying "I love the service industry" when she has like a day of experience lol. Laughable. Wishing Kevin good mental health and peace of mind, cos he's gonna really need it if he's around this girl.

hey! usually if people reserve seats at a nicer restaurant, they charge a seat cancelation fee! you should consider it so people are less likely to waste space!! keep up the hard work!! (^:

I'm so proud of youuuu girllllllll!!!! I can't wait to watch the progress with the restaurant!!

Thank you for taking us behind the scenes Dooby. You’re very inspiring with owning your own business. It’s going to be so successful for you based on your love and passion for it. ❤

Idk if she's trying to put on this character of an entitled prude, but whatever it is, it's annoying, and I can see it in Kevin's eyes.

Ok, so Kevin Big is passionate about planting tomatoes and Kevin Small is just embarrassed of you two 😂😂😂😂

You have not done enough experince to be restaurant owner.... your restaurant will crash and burn.....

"barely making profit" clearly lying and losing money but hey, thats to be expected

Can you pleeeeeeaaasseee do a day in the life of Kevin bigs day!? The ultimate Mija chef!!!!! Please please!!!

This is not going to end well.

the progression of the house from 4 months ago is amazing 🥳

Here a Spanish girl learning Korean watching a Korean girl learning spanish wooooo jsjsjs fighting Dooby 💖💖💖💖💖

please stop calling him "little" and "small" he doesn't deserve to be emasculated and belittled like that, especially not in a workplace environment :/

Restaurants are very hard to sustain w/o cutting corners

I don't ever leave comments really but I just feel so moved to today. I'm in this phase in life where I feel ambivalent to change. Your ability to adapt and keep moving is just awe-inspiring. I just have so much respect for you Tina! You really did what I might never have the guts to do. It really is not easy -- taking in criticism from viewers day in and day out while grinding everyday. I don't think everyone realises the depth of that exhaustion. Thank you for being so open about your restaurant journey! Side note: Being privileged is one thing and something that you really have no control over, but I can tell you've not taken it for granted, and really put in the work. I might not always agree with your decisions(cos we're only human) but behind you 100%! ❤‍🔥

Is no one going to talk about the bruise on her face @ 6:22 ?

How did you and Kevin address the people who got food poisoning (thus having to cancel their reservation)?

I'm genuinely so proud of you and all your hard work! Keep it up girl and more good things shall follow 😊💓 With love from Canada 🇨🇦

Happy for u)) also Yejin gives such a kind and chill vibes 💕 love it 🥰

At 21:00, I imagine Kevin Small was contemplating throwing out his own "fuck off" but thought it better not to bite the hand that feeds him.

I literally wanted to here Kevin's input in regards to why y'all were going to plant the tomatoes there and you literally walk away! You love to mess with him so much... He's a Saint

One of my fav vlogs, love how Kevin just knows everything but the suprise from Logan was the best, so much fun, keep up the hard work, love seeing it, I am a passionate supporter, cnt wait to come Korea and visit your restaurant ❤

this video is a little concerning, it seems like a breakdown or burnout is ahead. especially for the service industry taking sustainable breaks is so important…

dooby please I beg you to ignore all the negative comments and never change yourself or supress your personality for others your sense of humour is so adorable and that's who kevin fell in love with...

How do you have the money to own a restaurant at 25?

Kevin, please start a RU-vid channel with tips for a garden ! Your knowledge is golden

I just really love the energy in this channel whenever and however a video is posted! Been a follower for years now, and enjoying it more by time 🌸

'we barely make any profit' are we surprised.. 🙃

Don’t wait for heaven Tina to vacation, the Mexican sun is calling now. ☀️😂

Watching your journey has been amazing keep up the great work ❤️❤️

Lmao Kevin was not having it with the hose at the start

Why are the portions so small?

Tina is the new Michael Scott 🤣

You are so cool and hard working. Keep on dooby ❤ We love you ❤❤❤

Im so happy to see how far you’ve come!! I wish u much success for ur present and future!! Hopefully I’ll get the chance to eat there once!❤

Always makes me happy when you got a new video❤

the disclaimer after saying you feel high got me laughing so hard LMFAOOOOO

hi Ms Tina, at first I want to say I am a big stan for you and your videos and also your crew! I am watching your contents since very first day in utube and instagram. as I mentioned earlier I am a huge fan. and since your gardening videos I started to watch your videos with my mom, because she is plant mom since I opened my eyes to this world and acknowledged what's going on. to be clear, mom started to watch your videos, you and Mr Kevin and she is fond of your videos, especially your gardening videos. I want to say thank you for such quality, for such beautiful content with makes me and my mom to check utube just for your videos. actually it is an appreciation letter to you and your crew! thanks for everything, I hope one day I could visit your Mija Seoul may be with my mom, with my loved ones! thank you, Doobydobap!!!

Wow I just know your restaurant name 🤭 and quick fact, ‘mija’ is table in my native language (which is Iban, or Sea Dayak). Anyway, I’m from Sarawak,Malaysia ❤ ehee big fan of yours! Congratulations on your restaurant opening ❤

I can see how Tina and Logan can get along so well. They probably both have the same financial backgrounds.

The editing and transitions in this vlog was top notch🔥

So proud of you Tina. Having a restaurant and still updating us your fans and still vlogging. Always looking forward. Love you from the Philippines.

I'm so addicted to these videos. It just hit me

0:05 Kevin having a whole mood 😂 So slay! ✨😌✌ (If the're grammar mistakes.. then... am sorry 😭)

As a smol business owner myself for 17 yrs, i must say: congrtz & keep at it, Doobers! 🎉🎊👍♥️🇵🇭

I love the candidness and real view! Please keep up the uncensored goodness! Wishing you mad success for Mija Seoul!

In the current time in mexico, I greatly recommend you to wait a little bit until you get to mexico, until everything thing calms down. Because mexico currently is very dangerous in the wrong spots, for example, Cancun, Mexico City, are safe, but also dangerous in some parts. And a recent shooting in Cancun recently, i advise and greatly recommend you to wait a little longer to go to mexico. For safety.

Keep up the good work Dooby!!!

Hi Tina! I really love all your videos. But so sorry to tell you this. The sound of your voice was so small and I have to turn up the volume a lot, but then when there's some music/back sound, I need to turn down the volume asap because it's too loud. Idk if it's only me / my laptop or you guys felt it too?

Ugh as a fine dining server watching this makes me wanna help so bad lol

I’ve only very recently started to watch your content consistently, and you are such an inspiration! ❤

Kevin is a very handy man my Mexican family would love him

I like how Yejin is talking more etc!

One of my favorite vlogs you ever put out

Your recent videos (or documentaries) have reached a new sense of maturity. It's been a vicarious journey!!!

Whoa you sounded like a different person when you were drinking with Logan!

You are so relatable! I love this channel and your heartfelt honesty. Watching the vids makes me feel like I'm not alone in my life struggles. From an accountant to a restaurateur *heart hug*

Love Kevin's commitment!

So are your parents gonna be invited to your restaurant or

dooby is so real for showing all of the struggles and teamwork behind a big restaurant; we really love her for that !!

From a random video to becoming a huge fan of youuuu💞☺️
