    Probably the best group of guests that I've seen in one of your videos! Looks like the restaurant actually lived up the hype of one of the top 100 restaurants in NYC. The food looked so delicious. Gotta love the old school cash only policy.

    Cheers to Tung, Steven and Nellie and you too Danny. Beef chow fun with bean sprout? 🤣 Shrimp chips with the half chicken and the Shrimp with Walnuts all looked delicious 😊. Fresh flounder is hard to cook with out over cooking. Good food 🥟🥢👍

    Hop Lee and Hop Kee were the restaurants my family frequented...I remember when they were on Bayard street. Their food was always delicious...by the way it tastes better when you are eating with family and friends good video.

    All the food looked Great, Steve should have respected Danny by not ordering the Beef Chow Fun without Bean Sprouts or Bran sprouts on the side (that's a respectful gesture to do) all food looked amazing. Nelly was graceful and her eating etaquit on Camara was Great a pleasure to watch and see her comments. Glad Tung was off Camara as he cannot eat gracefully what we witnessed today he learning by watching Nelly. Steve always nice to see.

    • @dannythemedic
      @dannythemedic  Год назад +6

      thank u for watching: what we have here about the bean sprouts is that for me, if it is the first video of a BCF at any place, I order it the way it normally comes as per the design of the executive chef. This way, the viewers get to see it that way.. When I am NOT filming, or if I been to a place before to film, I would then be free to order without the bean sprouts. Nelly is indeed a very polite eater, and I do realize that tung is the kinda guy that knaws on bones like a rabid dog.. HAHAHAHAHAHA

    That looked like some old school Chinese banquet style spread. Steve knows how to order it up. My family always used to go out every other summer in the late 70s to San Fran, and we'd eat at those " cha lau." This reminded me of those days.

And I'm going to be honest, I haven't watched the whole video yet, but that chow fun looked LEGIT. The meat looked charred and the noodles looked perfect. And I know you don't like bean sprouts as a running gag but man, so good guys. I'm gonna smile while you guys chow (sorry) down on that chow fun. I just hope it's actually good lol

    .In a recent video you mentioned a viewer making comments about your clothing. That got me wondering also why do you alway wear the same shirt and hat. Why don't you ever take off the hat. By the way, the Columbia jacket you had on in the Big Wong video looked great on you. I would also like the know a little about your travel between NY and Las Vegas, whats the best deal, best time of day you travel and whatever else you would like to share. One other thing, when you are in Las Vegas have you ever thought about going to one of the small gambling towns near Las Vegas? There are two nice ones, to the south is Laughlin, NV and to the north is Mesquite, NV take a look and see what you think, keep up the good work watch you all the time

      I am the medic, I wear the same darn thing all the time. this is to better be able to identify me in case of emergency because when I work, I dont wear a recognizable uniform. I have over 25 of these shirts and about 10 of the exact same hat. I bring this over to my youtube channel for the exact same reason, but this is now called "branding". I fly whatever is cheapest except for frontier and spirit, I look on google flights to see the prices, I been to laughlin, I almost died in the heat but it is a great smaller thing with lower limits and lower priced foods, not been elsewhere yet.
