1:58 Bach choy ;)

HIS ACCENT KEEPS CHANGING

does he just bring the strad with him in public places like that or does he carry around a spare when he's not playing concerts?

So jealous of those who were there when you were busking!!

Thanks for these fun videos. My 8 year old son loves classical, plays violin and is a big fan of yours. You're definitely making an impact on the younger generation. Can't wait for your concert with NCCO. All the best Ray!

Ray Chen just got Joshua Belled at the beginning

He is so talented yet down to earth person !

Something about ray is just... so calming to me and I have no idea what, Keep up your awesome playing Mr. Chen :)

please do more busking videoss !!!! 💕💕💕💕

The busking performance: 10/10 The music jokes: Sacrilegious/10 Part of me thought for a second that TwoSet Violin might actually crash your performance. If you end up revisiting the Bay Area, you should try Koi Palace in Daly City near Serramonte Mall. Their Dim Sum is excellent and a favorite for many locals. The Chinese cuisine along the Peninsula (San Mateo County) in my personal opinion is as good as San Francisco.

Ray seems like that awesome, fun uncle you’d want to hang out with a lot. Love you Ray!

3:25 SICHUAN YOUR PEPPER

He is Taiwanese Australian but he lost Australian English accent , now speaking with American accent !!! Ray , how much money did you make that day ???????

Thanks, Ray! More videos, please - always entertaining.

The dim sum looked so good.. My fav part was overhearing people say, "I've seen him on RU-vid!"

Saw the concert last night in San Francisco and that was some of the best Mozart playing I've heard in my life. Really great job, and I love your goofy video too.

lol I saw my grandma's house in the video

Really like your style. So natural and funny .

I love San Francisco!!! I visited their oldest town, Alexandria, the Fisherman's Wharf, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge, their vineyards and wineries, Lombard Street (the most crooked street in the world), and a lot more.

Congrats on the rave review in the Mercury News! Much deserved. It was a FAN-TAS-TIC evening. And this video is lotsa fun.

When the video is too old but it's about food and you click on it anyway I loved it ♡ Btw, something like this from lovely Taiwan would be more than welcomed! I never knew what a beautiful place it was until I googled it with a bit more attention the other day. I must admit, I'm smitten. Here in my country there's a Taiwanese community and we've always kind of knew about the country because of commercial relationships, but I don't think its culture is as widespread or as popular as for example that of other Asian countries - Japan, China - whose communities are perhaps bigger in number (in my city at least). Maybe sharing some regional/folk music as well? In collab with someone? That would be so cool. As we say in Argentina, un abrazo che! Saludos!

I love how he says "when in doubt, play Bach" as if we mortals could just show off out of nowhere BACH hahahahaha

I love this video 😭😭 definitely on my confort ones list

I looooove dimsum. This makes me sooo hungry.

Aww, I'd have sat on that rocklike thing the whole time to listen to him play. And I'm so happy there are no midroll ads in this video.

This was fantastic! Thank you.

I have only been to San Francisco once many years ago, but while it wasn't meant to be a travel video (or was it?) you have encouraged me to take "my heart to San Francisco" Thank you, sir! Oh, yes, I love your violin playing you tube videos. Make one of your conducting there in SF. Peace!

Ray Chen is a cutie!!😍🥰

Entertaining, warm and thank you!

love this - thanks!

I love you Ray Chen!

Ray always makes my day!

Nothing changed from the previous Caieiras face.❤❤❤❤

I wish I could have been there to sample those delicious dishes!(SMILE).

A lot of food there, Ray. Thank you for giving us your music.

love to hear you play Tchaikovsky concerto , it's been quite a while since 2009

living the dream! wish I could be in your shoes :)

I wanna go to his concert!! or meet him 😊😊😊 if you have chance, plz come to Korea again!!!

Hey Ray! When you get to Lisbon, please make sure to try Macau Dim Sum, it's a delicious chinese place specialized in Dim Sum, and I can garantee you that the shrimp dumplings are delicious :)

Ray, Damm you and your nice looking food I’m so hungry... enjoyed the vid keeping your peeps happy 👌

Wow, Rick Fox was there too! Super dope

The dimsum from Taiwan was the bestest.

So funny and adorable. cute

Opened this video midnight when VERY hungry, which does not make sense at all...

LOVE your channel!!!

I would've given him everything in my wallet. So beautiful

I love you Ray

Ray went from playing a $10 million Stradivarius to playing on the streets?

Awesome !

*MOAR VIBRATO PLZ* YUS

Very entertaining video and wonderful playing :-)

Nice, I enjoyed watching this.

Not too shabby, Dragon breath!

Loved your video! Wish we were in Japantown while you played!!

Loved it!!!

Haha, guy on the left at 05:11.

BIIIIITCH THAT COPLAND THO MOHHHHHRR

With the 21.4% Chinese population, Ray easily got a Chinese person as his Chinese Food Sidekick.

also what was the piece at 6:45? I need to know please lol

This would have been a good place for the joshua bell experiment

Please come to south africa:D we can have a braai (BBQ) and play some amazing music on the beach front

Bitiful ❤❤❤❤

Bretts Mom: PLAY MORE CHINESE!!!!! UUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

He's so funny!

Little do the ppl know, that the violin he’s using is a strad which costs MILLIONS of dollars

6:07😂😂😂

6:09 😂😂😂

Love me some panada bears.

6:10 I wonder how many people turned around to look at you after that

😊

Even Chinese Resto in America serves a hefty and very generous serving.

Ray plays in some random part of San Francisco, no one bats an eye. Me: "What is wrong with you people???"

I'm so confused, is Ray American or Australian

Paralyzed mouth. It sounds like my younger days. We used to call it the Munchies 🤭🤭🤭😁🥳

Wow, love those high notes! (Paganini?)

please come to detroit!!!!!

Ray, say hello to me Brazil.

yo this was hella dope

now i want to eat

how long were you in san fran? you have an american accent!

I am watching this at midnight because I can't sleep and now I want some dimsum...

I wanna try dumplings now.

the food looks rly good omg i'm hungry

Hey, does anybody know the name of the tune he played for a few seconds at 6:08? Does it exist? :P

4:58 what is this amazing stuff? 😂🤩 Edit: okay It‘s actually called „dragon breath“. Funny tho 😂

6:53 RIP

But where'd you go for dinner? Surely all that busking worked up an appetite... ;-)

Did anyone see that French inhale Hahahaha. For a second I was convinced Ray Chen mustve smoked weed at some point in his life lolol

Ray should've played Tambourin Chinois!

Gah! I wish I was in Japan Town that day!!!

why're u so cute HAHA

Siomai rice

Yang Sing = Canton = Guangzhou😆

Yogurt buffers it with spicy food not water.

I wonder how the explosive chili pepper compares to a Carolina Reaper pepper?

I shouldn’t be watching this at 1 am bc now I’m hungry but have no way to actually get dim sum :(

People who dislike your videos are just jealous of you

Your Violin is Stradivari???

Real life Bard
