Mikey will always be my favorite food reviewer. I've been a silent fan since college and 4 years ago up until now I always go back to his youtube channel to find comfort.
I love how you tell the story with food!I felt like this video, like all your videos, was just 5 minutes long even if they are 30 minutes! I watch every chance I get,

Thanks to you, cooking with Lau and a few others I'm am slowly increasing my Asian cooking ingredients. I just bought Chinese vinegar (I'm so excited about it because I love my food vinrgary too) and some hot chili crisp oil. I'm excited to use them. I'm going to make some dumplings this weekend and use the vinegar and chili oil for dipping sauce. I've always known Asian was my favorite food genre but I've never really cooked those foods. I'm excited for this new kitchen adventure.
I love eating in Chicago but for whatever reason it's a much overlooked food destination. Downtown, outskirts, suburbs...there's something for everyone at every price level. Can't wait to get back.
It's nice, but a lot of his descriptions are off bad if you actually try out the food. They also cook specific for him...so it always comes out hot and with extra seasonings.
My son and I found your page and have been watching religiously since!! We are saving now to travel to try some of these places!! Keep it up Mikey! We are also ordering a hotpot and some of your hot oil. 🔥
The girl and the goat is one of those tongue in cheek (ha) top chef restaurants that I've always THOUGHT I'd want to go to.. But now, seeing it 'live', I'm like, no thank you. I'd prefer to read the menu than eat the food.
It looks like it was made for Instagram and frequented by the sort that tear down original Polish flats in Chicago and put up the big square generic mansions with underground parking that remove street parking for everyone else, yet building them close to El stations so they can leave their cars parked under their house while pushing working class people further from the train.
Spicy art is me and my girlfriends favorite spot in that food court. You can’t go wrong there…ever. Potato noodle also makes an amazing braised chicken dish.
That seafood tower had me salivating! You describe the food so well, I feel full just watching you eat xD I dunno how you eat so much but loving the videos!
YOOO MIKEY!!! My gf and I LOVE your videos and how you describe EVERY dish!! We want to highly recommend you travel to Bellevue Washington, to ASCEND PRIME STEAK AND SUSHI. I went through a very rigorous training and helped open the fine dining restaurant back in May 2018. Please please please visit this restaurant I highly recommend you see Brian Preuss! Everyone there will take the utmost care of you and will serve you a highly intricate and special experience
Hey Milkey Chan. Huge fan of yours here in Vancouver. My wife and friends are a part of Asian Impact Society, a NPO that creates awareness on the rising incidences of asian discrimination since the onset of COVID. They are planning an event that hopes to unite people through the love of food. If you’re around the Vancouver area on August 13,2022. please consider attending the event as I’m sure there will be many fans that love your content on both your channels.
Congrats Mikey, on 4M subscribers! I've been enjoying your videos for years now and wanna say thank you for making my day each time you post a new video. I let your videos play in the background while falling asleep at night too just so you get that extra monayyyyyy
Next time in Chicago try Chicago Cut! Porterhouse is awesome! My favorite is bone in ribeye. Oysters are phenomenal. All seafood is flown in fresh daily. Best steakhouse in Chicago
Stephanie Izard was great on Top Chef. She really did interesting things. So happy for her to have such a great restaurant. Would love to go there sometime, from WI.
I was just at Maple & Ash on Saturday. Beautiful atmosphere and the food is superb. Let's just say it's a must go to and I worked it to be in my budget every 5 weeks lol..
You are so blessed, that food looked absolutely amazing. With your confirmation, tasted as good as it looks. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.💯❤️😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
The food at The Girl and the Goat looks good. But pricy for the portion sizes. $17 for the empanadas, $17 for the oysters, $23 for the pig face, and $34 for that pork shank. That adds up pretty quick. I like the concept, but it seems a bit overpriced.
We got a lot of those "small foods" type of restaurants here where I live, afterwards it always makes me think to never go to these types of restaurants again and just eat street food instead
Maple and Ash is our favorite restaurant! Nothing beats their food not even Bavettes. If you ask ahead of time they can print something special on your menu for you to keep!
Had a baby 8 months ago ive watched you since 2016 and after my baby i lost my appetite love watching you makes me want to eat and im eating loads more
You should go to Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings next time you’re in Chicago!! It’s right by Richland center and everything is homemade and delicious!!!! I like the lamb and carrot dumplings from there!
A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. !!! We live in Chicago and have never heard of this place. What an incredible seafood and steak dinner. Your entire video was amazing! Glad you and Christine enjoyed it!!
Maple and Ash is fantastic, suuuper pricey but man is it good. You should definitely check out Alinea (not that far away from Maple and Ash) as well, as well as the Chicago Pizza staple that is Giordano's!!! And I highly recommend Elephant and Castle pub, very good food there too and connected to the Club Quarters Hotel.
I love your shows!! Constructive criticism. Please talk to the viewers. Feels like I'm just watching a person eating. Where before I felt like I was there with you. Besides that I'm still be watching your shows! Love your eating lol
I have to say, Mike Chen was my #3 or #4 top food RUclipsr but as of recently he is #1 go to food RUclipsr. I like the genuine authenticity and enthusiasm he brings to each episode.
Hey Mikey, I was wondering if the next time you are in Los Angeles if you’d be able to meet up with me so that we could go somewhere to eat, I’m a really big fan of yours
That steakhouse in Chicago made me want to go across the Atlantic Ocean just because of what you presented... all looked so delicious... thanks for that, Mikey.
I think Girl & The Goat is Stephanie Izzard’s restaurant- she won Top Chef several years ago - We tried to get in a few years ago but they were booked solid
I lived by twin anchors smelled so good walking my dog by it!! Glad you’re finally doing Chicago. I have to check out the food court and other restaurant. G&G is alright but over hyped
I know I must have missed it, which fire roasted seafood tower did you order...the baller (they have 3 choices)? We are thinking about flying to Chicago for our 30th wedding anniversary and Maple & Ash looks AMAZING!! :)
I loved this one so much Mikey. Super entertaining fo sho! Thank you sir and madam. You’re wife was with you here I think right? Anyways, thanks for sharing this!
Mikey will always be my favorite food reviewer. I've been a silent fan since college and 4 years ago up until now I always go back to his youtube channel to find comfort.
Couldn't agree more. Apparently I missed this video 2 years ago. Glad it came up in today's feed on RUclips.
Never stop doing this Mr. Chen. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
I love how you tell the story with food!I felt like this video, like all your videos, was just 5 minutes long even if they are 30 minutes! I watch every chance I get,
My mouth was just ABSOLUTELY WATERING watching that steakhouse meal INCREDIBLE!!! so envious you have the best job in the frigen world
@crystalsnowlion the best job in the world is what u love doing 🙄🖕
@crystalsnowlion what about scientists and police? Police helps us to be safe and the future depends on the scientists

That seafood tower and then the mind-blowing steak had me salivating..it looked like such an amazing meal.
Looks really good, right!
@@NoahEats daszjml
Finally giving chicago the love it deserves. I can go visit these gems myself now.
Kill the gaminess, no pun
the best in the midwest but not better than LA nor NYC
@@kennywong544 wrong, all is good in their own way! :)
Mike, you're so passionate about eating food! Your videos are absolutely AWESOME! Makes my mouth WATER every time!!
I love eating in Chicago but for whatever reason it's a much overlooked food destination. Downtown, outskirts, suburbs...there's something for everyone at every price level. Can't wait to get back.
I love how descriptive he is with the taste. I can actually imagine how good the food taste.
I do that too now whenever I eat, but only in my head. Makes me appreciate the food more, and see the subtle hints of flavour.
That's why we love mikey and that's why he's one of the best
It's nice, but a lot of his descriptions are off bad if you actually try out the food. They also cook specific for him...so it always comes out hot and with extra seasonings.
It's always great to see so many ways to share food
My son and I found your page and have been watching religiously since!! We are saving now to travel to try some of these places!! Keep it up Mikey! We are also ordering a hotpot and some of your hot oil. 🔥
Never thought i would hear it "Wow, these are tasty!" on the sprouts. Good to hear the money wasn't wasted.
Always love when you come here!
The girl and the goat is one of those tongue in cheek (ha) top chef restaurants that I've always THOUGHT I'd want to go to.. But now, seeing it 'live', I'm like, no thank you. I'd prefer to read the menu than eat the food.
Sometimes it's a great that he provides a warning, so we can go other places inside

So glad you’re giving my home Chicago some love! I urge you to try Gibsons steakhouse, Sun Wah BBQ, and nha hang Vietnam.

Awesome video Mike!!! The last spot was soooo baller!!! The rib eye and olive A5 must've been awesome! They even flambe'd the bananas!!! 😁
You know a restaurant is fancy when the button front shirt comes out and the polo goes away!
Next time in Chicago try Chicago Cut! Porterhouse is awesome! My favorite is bone in ribeye. Oysters are phenomenal. All seafood is flown in fresh daily. Best steakhouse in Chicago
Mikey is making bank! Every video includes promotion 🤩
Who does tableside Bananas Foster anymore? That’s a classic! Thanks for taking us along Mikey!
Stephanie Izard was great on Top Chef. She really did interesting things. So happy for her to have such a great restaurant. Would love to go there sometime, from WI.
Must try the magic beans!!! I’d take that over French fries anytime!
I was just at Maple & Ash on Saturday. Beautiful atmosphere and the food is superb. Let's just say it's a must go to and I worked it to be in my budget every 5 weeks lol..
Another Mike upload. What to watch during dinnertime sorted !
Loving the Chicago content since I’m from Michigan. Girl and the goat is delicious! That place so good
You are so blessed, that food looked absolutely amazing. With your confirmation, tasted as good as it looks. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.💯❤️😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
That seafood tower was really the best, loved it.
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos. Keep it up Mikey! 👍
All the food looked good, but that last restaurant with the seafood tower was amazing! wow that looked good!
Wow that looked like an amazing steak house dinner! Love watching your videos.

You could always cook it yourself at home
He pays with all our money 💰
For a high end restaurant it’s not that bad.
Seems like an average price 🤔
We got a lot of those "small foods" type of restaurants here where I live, afterwards it always makes me think to never go to these types of restaurants again and just eat street food instead
Favourite. That last restaurant with the seafood tower and the wagyu- most tempting ever.
One day I hope to casually find Mikey in my hometown. Too bad I missed him in Chicago!
That steakhouse and seafood tower is incredible! Thanks for always showing us the best spots Mike.
Another Amazing Upload Mike! You're growing like wildfire on RUclips! 🔥🔥🔥
OMG, that chocolate ball bananas foster at the end is great. The pork shank looked really great. All of the seafood tower and the branzino please.
Maple and Ash is our favorite restaurant! Nothing beats their food not even Bavettes. If you ask ahead of time they can print something special on your menu for you to keep!
Wow, that steakhouse meal made my mouth water.....and the desert .....I died! :)
Everything looks so good. Thank you for all the great videos. I've been a loyal subscriber for years.
Hey Mike so happy to see a video from u!! I want all that seafood!!
All these places look like great places to eat. Thanks for the great video Mikey!
Everything looked amazing, but I am always amazed about how much he can eat in an evening.
Only Mikey has a rack of ribs as an appetizer before he goes to dinner.😂
The X’ian place at the food court is awesome the owner is super nice and the dumpling place is great!
If in Chicago area again you need to try Crusade Burger Bar in Yorkville, IL. Amazing burgers and HUGE deserts!
Had a baby 8 months ago ive watched you since 2016 and after my baby i lost my appetite love watching you makes me want to eat and im eating loads more
BTW my favourite videos are on your food excursions in Sun City. Keep up the great insightful and descriptive food experiences around the world.
Nice to see you finally found the food court lol I've been waiting on you yo review it
Maple & Ash is definitely worth the splurge! Delicious everything and the lounge is always a good time!
Sitting here, recovering from a stomach bug, (no food since Friday) and this video has me starving!
Mikey you have to try pupusas!! They’re a pretty popular Salvadoran dish. Would love to see your thoughts!!!
There’s a maple and ash here in Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve never been because I know how expensive it is. So it’s cool to see the experience through you.
Stephanie Izard as a chef is a genius
You should go to Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings next time you’re in Chicago!! It’s right by Richland center and everything is homemade and delicious!!!! I like the lamb and carrot dumplings from there!
Definitely putting the Maple and Ash on my bucket list 🤤
The dumplings look AMAZING !!!!... Plumpest dumplings I've ever seen !!!
A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. !!! We live in Chicago and have never heard of this place. What an incredible seafood and steak dinner. Your entire video was amazing! Glad you and Christine enjoyed it!!

So excited for you getting to 4 MILLION!! Go Mikey Go!!
I love your shows!! Constructive criticism. Please talk to the viewers. Feels like I'm just watching a person eating. Where before I felt like I was there with you. Besides that I'm still be watching your shows! Love your eating lol
Love it when you visit my 2nd home. Great restaurant's you've chosen. Stay safe guys!
It just keeps getting better and better 😋
This video made me smile , thank you 😊
I have to say, Mike Chen was my #3 or #4 top food RUclipsr but as of recently he is #1 go to food RUclipsr. I like the genuine authenticity and enthusiasm he brings to each episode.
Hey Mikey, I was wondering if the next time you are in Los Angeles if you’d be able to meet up with me so that we could go somewhere to eat, I’m a really big fan of yours
i like the audio quality , even when the place is buzzing we're able to hear your really crisp and clear
I would LOVE to see him make a video of him cooking something
Everything looked so good. I can't wait to go there.
Wow!!! That steakhouse meal 😍😍😍
That steakhouse in Chicago made me want to go across the Atlantic Ocean just because of what you presented... all looked so delicious... thanks for that, Mikey.
Hey you crossed four MILLION subscribers. Good work Mike
You had me at fire roasted lobster. Lol
Very enjoyable moment watching your content! 😊
The food court looked amazing!
Amazing video! I can’t wait to go see this place’s in Chicago.
Your video is very good. Thank you to all youtubers
Omg I am drooling that food was absolutely DELICIOUS…x🥰❤️
I would love to explore China Town with you the next time you come to Chicago! I’ve always wanted to go but would have no idea where to even start!
Christine comes in and makes a lovely assist to cut the steaks!! !
Maple and ash is definitely worth it. Food is phenomenal
Mikey Chen, the new mascot of the Midwest👍👍
That was dark like Steak Houses from 50 to 30 years ago, but having candles instead of mesh candle glass globes is so much better. You worked it.
I now wanna go and eat that lobster tower and steaks. Lol. Looks amazing!
Mane i missed you again! i will love to see you come here again i wanna meet you 😭🙏! Chicago food is just so good man
Everytime I watch your videos I get soooo hungry even if I just ate 😁
Congrats on 4M subs!
4.2 millions subscribers 🤝🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
I think Girl & The Goat is Stephanie Izzard’s restaurant- she won Top Chef several years ago -
We tried to get in a few years ago but they were booked solid
Top chef alum owner of Girl and the Goat! I’m sure it’s fantastic.
I lived by twin anchors smelled so good walking my dog by it!! Glad you’re finally doing Chicago. I have to check out the food court and other restaurant. G&G is alright but over hyped
Mikey sloping up butter sauce with rolls 😋 classic 👌 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to come with you on your food travels. That looks so good.
I know I must have missed it, which fire roasted seafood tower did you order...the baller (they have 3 choices)? We are thinking about flying to Chicago for our 30th wedding anniversary and Maple & Ash looks AMAZING!! :)
Pork face is so good. Face bacon is really common in the grocery stores in my area down South and I actually prefer it over regular belly bacon.
I loved this one so much Mikey. Super entertaining fo sho! Thank you sir and madam. You’re wife was with you here I think right? Anyways, thanks for sharing this!
