That shop you're opening up looks insane. Amazing concept with private rooms, a bar, outdoor area? I'm gonna need to fly out just to try that place out. Awesome Mike!
appreciate you!
Yes!
@@strictlydumpling definitely made my foodie tour list!!! 💯🤞🏾 Count me in!!!
@@strictlydumpling I live near Houston, I will definitely go!
Dang I wish you would open one in Philadelphia but one day I will get to Huston
Hello, Mikey. This is Peter, the owner of KOOKSOO. It was such a pleasure to get a opportunity to serve you with our Beef Kooksoo, Stir-fried beef with noodles, King Ribs Jjamppong, and Galbi. As our head server, Lyn said, I was very impressed to see you have completely "finished" all three dishes and your knowledge on bronze utensils we are using. And, if it is ok, I like to utilize the information on this video on our side so that more people would know who you are and what you are going to upload. So, please let me know if there's any limitations I should be aware of. In near future, I hope I can get one more chance to see you in person and talk about how Kooksoo got started and about Korean noodles 🍜. God bless you. 😃
Did he actually finish all the food he was served? Just wondering why the inverted comas🤔
@@marienugent9860 yes he did. :)
Kooksoo is my favorite restaurant in Plano!!! I adore that server, she is an absolute sweetheart and always throws in some extra kimchi when I come in
Spidermann no homey< yes burger
Huh so finished or not? Normally the "" supposed to be like the opposite if you put on certain word instead of sentences. For example, "rich" refer to poor. So when you do "finished" it as if you implying did not finished.
The pan out after eating the 3 bowls was absolutely hilarious. The sweat and obviousness of the effort was fantastic
16:28 honesty is one of your best channel charms.. you're the only food fighter channel that i truly believe review wise, you dont slander or say anything but you're always honest.. so your recommendation value is so high and trustworthy
Mike Chen is jumping from state to state more than I have in the last 10 years 😂
huh
@@bronklyy Mikey has traveled more than he has
living out Captain Vasili's dream - state to state, no papers
@@bronklyy mike has moved a lot. remember his house up in the forest?
@@illfaptothis333 he still has that home.
YES KOOKSOO is such a hidden gem! Their noodles were to die for. I especially liked the spicy beef noodles is the best dish i had there. The portions are a bit big for me so my friends and i usually share! And even then we want more!
I'm already convinced that I need to drive 7 hours to try this place. I've never had Korean food before but I have not a shred of doubt that it will be fantastic. I plan on moving to Dallas within a couple years and I'll definitely make this place a regular spot!
Living in Houston and hearing this has to be the best news I’ve heard all year!!!
Thank you for blessing the Houston area with some great food to come, can’t wait to hear about the menu.
Same!!! So glad it’s in Houston! Can’t wait to try!!
What’s the name of the place and where is it at?
What’s it going to be called?!
@@mirandasands2595 the name of the restaurant in progress is supposed to be called Karne Korean Steakhouse. Can't find anything about it online other than an investment website.
Spidermann no homey< yes burger
I went to kooksoo because of this video and I couldn’t believe how good it was. The noodles were so fresh It made me feel like I’ve never had noodles before.
Oh god the noods look soooo good!
That brownie commentary had me 😆 This is horrible, it's so bad. It's so freaking good I have no self control i'm going to eat all of them.
We gonna meet double Chen lmaoo
has a full on Texas BBQ and says "i'm still hungry" afterwards LOL
" I am a little confused by that bite " The look on his face...lol
Actually that Bbq plate could have fed 3 people then orders giant bowls of Korean food then brownie and then a giant burger cheesesteak Sammie for dinner also tater tots and fries. Really incredible for like a 150 lb guy
the wonders of editing...
I'm kinda confused how a person I subscribe to for pokemon content is watching another person I Subscribe to for food content bahaha small world.
I’m the same way full order of ribs Mac and cheese and brisket then order ice cream from braums
I learned my lesson. Watch Mikey Chen's videos AFTER eating! Not late at night, ten hours after dinner.
I'm amazed how you can eat a BBQ breakfast and then go to another restaurant and order enough food to feed 4 people as your second meal. Impressive!
& still look THAT good! I gain like 5 ponds from a single cracker 😂
He just takes a couple of bites and takes the rest home but to be real the content is still really fun to watch.
He’s 90% hobbit so it doesn’t surprise me
When mikey said thats horrible about the brownies he got me worried for a sec lol
LOL ME TOO 😭 I thought he hated it omg 🤣 too funny
When he started making a face l thought , oh no he’s bought a dope brownie
@@CP-tq3hu When he pulled up and it was just a house I was like, "Yeah our man just bought dope brownies..."
@@Goldenkitten1 it still could have been 😅😂🤣 he looked shocked and it did seem a little sus 😚😋😛😝😜🤪🤩
@@Goldenkitten1 deadass on the pot, only thing putting doubt in my mind was it being Texas and not CO, LMAO
That brownie buy seemed like Mike was getting edibles. I always wondered how he can eat so much.
He’s part hobbit
I’m glad you passed on the Kura sushi; it’s always busy here in Irvine but it’s all novelty. Doesn’t even come close to the revolving sushi spots in Japan!
it's fine but crazy when you consider you're paying 4x as much per plate as in Japan
As a person who went to the Cupertino, California location, I also think its overrated and overpriced. It's not horrible, but the experience isn't worth the price.
I am in Irvine CA
@@Dudewitbow yup also went to the Cupertino one and it’s not worth it at all. I’d rather go to a sushi restaurant and order instead.
@@super292 Do u know there is a sushi restaurant in JAPAN serving 50 pieces for $12-15
Mike fellow Dallas Texan here. You've helped inspire me. I love to eat and it's always been a struggle with weight but seeing you pack away the food and stay fit told me it can be done. I've currently lost 90 lbs and have a way to go but good lord willing I will get there. Thanks for your videos.
Visible sweat on the chest is an example of a dedication to finishing your plate(s) & I'd expect nothing else from Mikey Chen.
I have been watching Mike for years now, but even after years of watching I'm still surprised and terrified about his stomach capacity . My man is a GOD!!
Same ive been watching him since 2015 and it still amazes me 😆
Mike Chen: eats his weight in meat and noodles
ALSO Mike Chen: "I'm going to need to work out after this brownie."
Hahahahahahaha
🤣😂 LOL, that's exactly what I thought. So funny!
Imagine the toilet 🚽 after 💩 😶🌫️
@@shaanbae6096 LOL, I always think the same thing!
Yeah…because brownie 🤣 😂 🤣
Not gonna lie I panic when Sir Mike said that the Brownies are “Horrible” but his still munching on it and I was like “What?”. What he really meant is it’s horrible for your health.
lol those brownies looked soooo good!
I'm so stoked about the KBBQ place! I had told my boyfriend when we were living in Austin that we'd have to make a special trip to visit when it opens, but we live here now! We'll bring his brother and his wife and make a night of it! 🥰 best of luck dude!
Are you me? This is exactly what I told my girlfriend. We lived in Austin while attending UT and was planning to make a day trip to Houston to try Mike's kbbq place when he announced it back in 2019 I think. Now we moved to Houston for work and live near the HEB near Mike's restaurant 😆 I'm hoping it could be one of our go to spots in the area (I usually just go to Local Foods but I need to expand my horizons) since I adore Mike and want to support him. I already told my girlfriend's parents that we'll take them here too since they never had kbbq before.
@@JacksonWalter735 AM I you?? I'm having an existential crisis now.
We also moved to Houston for work! Well, him for work, me for school.
Maybe see you there! 😄
I’m from Austin but I live close to lake Jackson, I am so stoked
YOOOO, that noodle place you tried is like 10 minutes from me! We love the servers there, so kind and informative! Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Been meaning to say this as I've followed your vlogs for a while. You really eat noodles so well- your mom must be proud. Actually you eat any food neatly. Wish I can teach my kids proper noodle / eating etiquette and use your videos as a guide.
Wow that space looks huge! Can’t wait to visit there and the Ramen place in NY!
Been watching you for a long time and so happy to seeing your dreams come true with the restaurants opening up soon. Keep up the hard work it has paid off! Please keep the channel going even after the restaurants open up please!!!
Congratulations on your new venture Mikey!!! Lots of success to you! Watching you from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
How are your parents in the "new apartment?" Are they happy with the location? So happy you are opening your restaurants! Wishing you giant success!
they're now growing tomatoes and scallions
@@strictlydumpling Mike where is the link for the hot oil? I can’t find it in the comments!
@@bec3057 In the description
@@bec3057 bought the 3-pack, the garlic crisp is way gone, still working on the other two, all very good!
Yes post a picture of what they've done with that balcony please. Gardening is so healthy for elders.
Be honest, who else started laughing when Mike was suddenly super-speed eating at 13:43? 😂
Congratulations!!! Love to see you make it big after watching your videos for so long
Omg 😱 you literally just made my day!!! Please keep us updated. I’m in houston and am so down for trying this out. I love Korean BBQ
Mikey I was literally just complaining to my brother about you, telling him that you're putting me through the most by not releasing a video. I swear you heard my cries. ❤❤❤
haha I got you!
@@strictlydumpling 😉😉😉
I don't even know where to begin on just how proud I am of your progress and success over the years I've been watching you! Continued success and prosperity to you and all of your endeavors 🙏🏿🤝🏿💜
So very happy for you. You’ve been so open about your rough past, it’s just great you’re entering a better chapter of your life. A happy relationship and now new businesses in progress. Wishing you all the best. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really love that he's responsible and finished all those noodles..
It never ceases to amaze me how much food he eats. He must have a spare stomach.
What he eats for a meal, I eat for two days 🤷♀️
Agreed. I couldn’t even eat what he had for breakfast in 2 days. I’d try, but I can’t eat much. Those noodles looked so good but again 2-3 days of food for me (just one of the dishes) but I’d take it home and eat it eventually 😃
@@dbell582 pro is that you can have an awesome meal,twice 😂
14:00 So they took that tough beef rib back and re-tested it? That's some real dedication there.
Please keep in mind during your restaurant endeavors that the to-go boxes make a huge difference in soggy or not soggy. That foam box can make fresh hot crispy fries into the soggiest grossest fries ever by making the environment inside the container a super sauna. Try there again but sit in instead of taking out. Packaging always makes a difference with food. Stay away from styrofoam boxes.
Yeah sure he also often comments on the wait time between takeout and filming, but this one looked like there was not a lot of time between, the fries. should have been fine
@@HappyFluegel I use to work in the food industry. It doesn't take long for anything to turn soggy in those types of containers. Easy trick to freshest fries 🍟 dine in ask for fries without seasonings. They will always come to you fresh because they have to make them. Usually fries are made in batches so it's a great way to get the best quality.
This is fckin incredible, I am so excited for you 😭💛✨ Congratulations 🎊
Fried Chicken exciting indeed 😉
I’m excited for you too reina :’)
Reina !
Reina Chan and Mike collab
REINA!!!!!!
17:36 Dipping the food directly into the jar of hot oil. Mikey, I didn't think you could get more loveable but dipping food directly into the jar is my go-to move and makes me love this channel 1000% more 😂
haha my jar my germs
@@strictlydumpling Is the hot oil your brand? if yes, where can I buy some? Love, love your videos, thank you for the entertainment.
@@strictlydumpling have been trying to get that oil for soo long. Finally placed an order 2 weeks ago and haven't received any confirmation yet.
@@HermesSuarezGH where did you order it from?
@@nancylaird-burris6942 yes, it's his own chili oil, the link to order is in the video description
I can’t go a day without watching a mikey Chen video during meal time!! 😀
That’s so cool!!! Congratulations 🍾
iOS
Welcome to Texas brother.
I always feel a sense of pride when people come to Texas and enjoy what the greatest place has to offer.
Again man, welcome home!!!
My son is so excited. We watch your videos all the time. He is 7.
"I'm so full!" *sees boba tea shop*
"Full and ready for some boba tea!"
Glad you reviewed Cooper Farms! I always see the sign but have never stopped. Definitely will next trip north!
you can tell Mikey is getting full when he looks drunk hahaha, love you bud
Just in time, I was about to eat my meal of the day. U never disappoint Mike!
The BBQ place you’re involved in looks amazing, and it’s the sort of concept that might end up FINALLY bringing Korean cuisine in a relatively unadulterated chain form across the US.
Making those food moves!
Despite that the brisket didn't sound to good, I'd love to be eating that right now man xD Going to try to make one for the first time this weekend. Mikey thank you so much for your channel and your videos man. Honestly, You really helped me through a rough time last year and so much so that you inspired me to start the channel Latin Chopsticks. You helped me start to follow my dream and show everyone the best places to eat in Orlando FL. Thank you for all you do and hope I keep growing so one day I can sit down and have a meal with you. 😄 Take care man and good luck with both new restaurants. It'll def be in my to go list.
That is absolutely amazing I've been watching you for what seems like forever now and this is an awesome feat so congratulations!! Also you have the most trustworthy taste buds I remember the 1st time I tried hotspot I did your go to sauce and it was amazing and ya haven't been wrong since hahahah So I know every dish will be awesome!!
I'm so glad to finally hear an update on the ramen restaurant. I was trying to look up more details about visiting it but couldn't find any. Good to know and will be looking forward to trying it. I also want to go now to Dallas for those briskets! Yum!
"Do you think I can eat it all?"
"You can try..."
A poor bet to make with Mikey involved hahaha!
im so glad hes opening restaurants he deserves ever good thing coming for him:)
I feel late to the party, but as a Houstonian, I would love to come check out the new place!!!
What's the address?
@@susanriddle9408 He said it's in the Heights
@@brianjuice thanks
@@susanriddle9408 Karne Korean Steakhouse
2805 White Oak drive, Houston.
Mikey I think me and you have similar food tastes. We would feast.
The way that brownie deal went down, Mike might be feeling REALLY good after eating them.
I can attest to what Mike said...his sauces are delicious! On my third order now. It goes with everything! I like to stir a mix of the chili and garlic oil into my ramen❤
With my first order, my 2 teenage daughters destroyed their favorite Mike’s Spicy Garlic Chili in 1 week….🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I am such a sauce person. Sauce can make the whole experience.
Definitely gonna check your spot out here out soon as it opens 👏🏾
It's weird to see Mike driving around Dallas/ Ft Worth and eating at places that I know.
I love that you’ve never been a messy eater 🗣
I was just thinking "Mikey should be uploading any moment now."
Just call me a Jedi. 😌
Youtda?!
@@strictlydumpling Full of dumpling force, you are. 🙇🏽♀️
Definitely will be making the 4 hour drive whenever you guys open!! So hyped for you!
Can't wait for your NYC opening - hopefully you'll be there for some selfies with fans!!!
OMG! That would be amazing. I would 100% be there.
Next time you drive to Houston, get some of the actual Fairfield peaches at the Cooper Farms store. They’re incredible.
Mikey Chen Congrats on the opening of the restaurant. Everytime I see Mike eat I get super hungry 😋☺🤤
Both of Mike’s restaurants are going to be booming just based off his fans 😮💨😮💨
Korean royalty first introduced "silver" not "bronze" chopsticks as a way to detect poison in their food. It was thought the metal would change color if the food was, in fact, poisoned. Congrats on the new endeavor hope it goes really well for you.
we need restaurant update, Mikey!!! sure looks really good ✨
I'm glad you're enjoying Texas! And always excited to see new videos from you! (The part when you tried the burger made me think you would have loved Fuddruckers, but I don't believe there are any open anymore besides in Rockwall. It was a fun place to go to after a night of working and going to the arcade 😅)
There's still one in Houston that's open!
@@amandalett6246 really? Awesome! All the ones around me closed :( I'm surprised there are a few open still!
@@rikusan5404 Yeah, there's a local guy who bought a couple. And every time I drive by it, it says "Yes, We're Open"!
You know when you look at something and know EXACTLY how it's going to taste and you know it's gonna be BOMB that's how I felt looking at that peach ice cream 😍 Coupled with warm weather omgggg
Mike just ate full plate of BBQ,
3 giant bowl of noodle,
1 giant plate of beef rib,
2 cup of ICE Cream,
and he still eat 2 dish + 4 block of pure glucose after he go home.
I went to Kooksoo for my birthday today, and I immediately fell in love with this place the moment I entered and ate my meal.
I’m so glad you came to Texas! I can actually drive to Houston to try your restaurant! As well as you putting me on a few Dallas eateries! Also on your way to and from Dallas, you should stop in College Station, home or the AGGIES and my university! We have some pretty good authentic food for poor college student prices!
Congratulations 🎉🎊 Mikey. So happy for you 😻 best wishes for upcoming days 🥂❤️
Mike is the only person other than Gordan I trust with this.
Mike, I have such a deep respect for all that you do. You are a true inspiration. I absolutely love watching and learning so much about Asian culture and the food, oh I want to try everything! Even the things I'm a little afraid to try I will if I'm able to find them. All because you make everything a challenge to ones self, to try and expand your eating horizons. That being said, I wish you would move near Anderson/Greenville South Carolina. I can't even find Korean BBQ or a hot pot place here!! I'm so sad and disappointed that I can't try them until I can afford my very on Mike's Hot pot kit. You make me want to travel all the way to Texas to eat at your new restaurant. Congratulations on that by the way. I hope that all is going well with all of your new endeavors and relationship. Can't wait to see your lovely significant other for the first time. I'm sure she is as lovely as her voice. Again, congratulations to you both. Thanks for all the inspiration and knowledge. Sending my deepest respect and well wishes for your continued success.
mike eats more in a day than most people in a week lol
"....the next time you see me I'll be Mike Chen and double Chen...." EPIC!!! HAHAHA!!!
I’m so proud of Mikey! He’s a true legend
Awesome and Congrats Mike! I’m from H and can’t wait to check the place out for sure. Keep it up!👍🏽
I’ve been watching your vlog for over a year, maybe longer than that. Out of all the food you have been eating, it makes my mouth watery for more noodles 🍝 😍
If you’re planning on going everywhere in Texas with your new concept, please come to Lubbock! You guys would kill it here!
Super awesome! Be sure the private rooms are ADA/wheelchair compliant.
They said something about stairs upto the private rooms so doesn't sound too wheelchair friendly
I can’t wait to try your restaurant! It looks super close to my house. Amazing Mikey, congratulations! 🎉
Cant wait to give that place try when its open 🙏🏾🙏🏾
OMG! You passed by my job and Uncle Uber's Sammich Shop is 5 minutes away so I got a new place to check out on my lunch break. Love watching your videos because you give me new places to check out.
Your restaurant ideas are so awesome Mikey, I hope to visit one someday and have a good time with some friends of mine from Michigan! Keep up the good work!
I mean, Mikey seems to be more the "investor/taster" so he doesn't come up with the ideas but he has major input and final say on the food.
Hey mike noticed ya traveling in the rain there. Thunderstorms are common in Texas. Get some rain-x windshield wiper fluid for you and your loved ones car. It increases visibility while driving so you don’t have to slow down or pull over because of the showers. I used to drive around with my husband in a semi and it’s every truck drivers go to for travel
I really love love your vlogs I'm heading to Houston next month just to eat at your restaurant and I hope to acquire your hot sauce, continue on doing what you do. I love it
thank you Elsie!
I live in Upstate SC in the Blue Ridge. I'm opening my first BBQ shack next spring. Wagyu brisket is one of the hardest to cook. If you smoke it hard it tends to under cook and if you go long and low you get meat candy without much smoke. It is yummy no matter what! I'm doing a 19# one, A5 from Japan $$$$$, for the family vacation at the beach this weekend and it will be my second one. 1st one was done when cold so got too much smoke. also was American Wagyu and there is a difference.
We're D,C&H BBQ and our motto is " We don't care how they do it in Texas"
I’m so excited for you Mike. I can hardly wait for you to open your restaurant here in the Dallas area. Looks like an absolutely awesome restaurant.
Mike Chen for your next restaurant, if it's a buffet you can always call it Mike's Double Chen Buffet.
That’s our two fisted eater! We heart ♥️ you. Can’t wait to see how you rock a tux for the grand opening.
Whoa. Might be the first time I've seen Mikey get the meat sweats or maybe the eat sweats. LOL. That was a serious order of food AFTER eating BBQ. LOVE IT!
This is the happiest I’ve been to live in Texas in a long time! So excited to try the restaurants!!!
You haven’t been exploring then. These places have been around a good while!
Can't wait for the restaurant to open,the outlay looks incredible. Stay safe and enjoy, as always your biggest fan from Arkansas 😉👍🏻
This is cool, I hope its going to be an awesome restaurant in here where many people can attract there.
Mike i finished all of Marks videos now i am plowing through yours. That food looked delicious. Food is the joy of life. Love your channel.
Hope you’re going to the tx state fair this year - interested to see you trying the food there
Mikey, Sir, you are a True LEGEND!
