It surprises me how many people I speak with who don't know who Martin Yan is or ever heard of Yan Can Cook. I used to watch him on public television as a child with my brother. We didn't really care about cooking or anything but his charisma and humor kept us watching.
Almost 30 years since I watched his shows as a kid and he still has the same energy and personality. I wish I had half of his energy, passion and enthusiasm.
i'm so happy to see martin yan showing up more often again. i saw him guest judge masterchef and geeked out. for those who don't know, he was a pretty big deal in the 80's and 90's, but gave up his fame to spend more time with his family. such an awesome guy. he's got a great sense of humor too! 😁
yes...we will be doing more and plan to travel to asia next year...he is the nicest person and is so smart and so full of knowledge...he started almost 40 years ago...before anyone else was popular...and yes so funny too!
Seriously, for 30 years Martin Yan is the same guy. He is true to himself and that is why we love him. Felt like I was watching his cooking show again. Look at that...Look at this 😆
I love how appreciative of other chefs Martin has always been. That Chinese cleaver tap tap tapping away melted decades off my life. I just turned 39 Sunday and this is the best birthday gift ever. Just can't say enough good things about both of you. May the journey always be fruitful!
Watching Chef Yan every week with my grandma is one of my favorite childhood memories. I can still hear her voice in my head saying “If Yan can cook, so can you!” along with him. Thank you for featuring this wonderful man.
I grew up watching The Godfather, Chef Martin Yan, and never missed his show Yan Can Cook! It's great seeing him again, and brings back so many memories!
Martin stole the show 💯!! Well then again, he had over 30 years of experiences cooking in front of TV so that just come natural. Great episode!! Hope to see more guest chef in future videos
Martin Yan is iconic in my life. As a kid I watched his show all the time. I learned how to cook so many different dishes from this guy. Him and hiroyuki two of my favorite chefs ever. I love how they have such different attitudes lol. Hiro is quiet reserved and respectful and martin is rambunctious and talkative and full of energy.
So much memories are flooding back. I remember watching this with my family on the weekend. It was so peaceful and I felt so love and had so much fun. Now my siblings are not really in my life anymore. I cherish all those memories. I wish I can go back and sit down in front of our TV and experience it again.
Watching the two of you together I had tears in my eyes. Two masters together that admire each other’s work. It’s inspiring. The words I want to express about how much I love watching you both is escaping me right now. I wish I could give this video million likes.
LOVE seeing Martin Yan again. Loved watching him as a kid. Still love watching him. He's so energetic and exciting. He makes cooking interesting and fun! Great combination with Hiro and Martin. Thanks for doing this video!
Two great chefs. My cousins and I were touring Vietnam and was lucky enough to met up with Martin Yan while he was filming his Vietnamese food series. He is a superstar in Vietnam. Marin is good friend to my Wong cousins in Mandeville, Louisiana, whom are legendary chefs in LA. I was fortunate to meet up with Marin Yan again twice when he was doing cooking classes here in San Antonio, TX with our local supermarket chain HEB. You can learn a lot from just watching him. They don't make them like him anymore.
Chef Yan is so humble. He's quick to compliment Chef Hiro's skills and openly asks him for the homemade recipe for teriyaki sauce. I work with a lot of great chefs and the best leaders in a kitchen are very quick to ask what younger chefs are doing. Also, as a chef, it's really hard to talk while cooking! Haha, most of my brain cells are working on what the next 5 steps are. Edit: But I also realize how humble chef Hiro is!
Martin Yan is one of the most charismatic chefs I've ever seen. His show, Yan Can Cook, gave me a deep appreciation for Chinese culture and Asian food in general. What a great collab!
Man I use to love watching Yan can Cook when i was a kid! Damn he aged well and still a master cook! Amazing to watch this chefs make food for one another and just watching them enjoy each dish is priceless!
Chef Yan is the inspiration for me to start cooking for myself n fam... back then i didnt even understand english, and watchih his show with dictionary in hand. The tag line "If yan can cook, so can you" still sticks around
You cannot know how happy this made me. RUclips randomly offered this up and with it many memories of watching Yan Can Cook with my mother. Mom and I did an entire 4th of July meal, which double for our birthday meals every year, inspired by Martin Yan. Thanks so very much!
Martin Yan was as much a part of my childhood as hot wheels. Fun to watch him cook and make it a fun and entertaining experience where it can often feel like work with hungry children. This was a great experience for sure with much respect.
Martin Yan is the man. A chef's chef. His knife skills are amazing. He was born to be in front of a camera. He's talking and cooking 100 MPH without a script! And he just can't stop teaching. So entertaining and just amazing.
I grew up watching Martin Yan, he has the best catch phrase of any chef out there, “if yan can cook, so can you!” Love Martin Yan. Well now I love Hiro too but what a great to watch my 2 favorite chef in a show together. Straight unexpected!
I was once a camera man on the Iron Chef contest in Modesto California. Chef Martin was one of the judges. When we approached him after the event to explain that we (my brother and I) were raised watching him on TV. He was so accommodating that I have a photo of my brother and Chef Martin on the stage. He even made suggestions as to lighting for the best shot. He is truly a pro!
I remember watching Martin Yan, on TV, long ago. This is an awesome collaboration. I hope you and your cameraman, Charles, have a good afternoon and a great week. Cheers, Chef Hiro!
This whole video feels like I'm watching a father and son showing each other what they have learned over the years. Chef Martin Yan has an amazing way of describing everything. Awesome video as always!!
THIS WAS AMAZING WATCHING 2 OF THE BEST EVER!! I HAVE WATCHED MARTIN SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG. I AM 58 NOW AND HE IS STILL HUMBLE AND RESPECTFULAND PLEASANT TO WATCH, AS YOU ARE HIRO. EXCELLENT!!
Thank you for collaborating with Martin Yan we missed him here in Vancouver he is really famous before and we loved his style and humor just like I like the way you make delicious foods.Good luck to both of you.
We had a meal in martin yan's restaurant in san Francisco It was unbelievable never had a meal like it since And martin being the true gentleman that he is came over to our table and sat down and chatted with us for a while What a guy
I LOVE YAN CAN COOK!!! I would watch his show as well I love his personality he is a legend and I love the way he interacts with the viewers makes me so happy to see you two together it made me tear up! Thank you chef YAN!! and chef hero is amazing too he has opened my eyes to being able to eat my favorite cuisine Japanese thank you chef hero
Wow ! I teared up a bit from Martin Yan's enthusiasm and positive genuine energy !!! NEVER DIE !!! You are 1 of our last hero's from back in the day on PBS !!! (NO PUN INTENDED) WE LOVE YOU !!! IF YAN CAN... SO CAN YOU !!! 👍
It’s beautiful to watch these two interact and share their dishes!!! I’m a huge fan of Hiro - he’s the first (and only) sushi chef I started following on RUclips! Also didn’t know Yan is in California! He was the first Asian chef I ever saw on TV! I’m a huge fan of his so I’m so glad to see him and he looks so healthy!
OMG!!!! TWO OF MY FAVOURITE COOKS EVER!! This is gonna be epic and I haven't even watched yet. Get ready for the AFTER review. After review: That was friggen AWESOME
I grew up watching him as a kid on public local access channel 9 in the San Francisco Bay area. I learned how to chop and knife skills just from his show. Growing up poor it inspired me to learn how to cook gourmet on a budget. I have met and know a few celebrities and I don't get exited about meeting or talking to them I feel like they are average people. But with Martin I would be honored and exited he actually helped with his show " I can cook" thanks to him
This video is AMAZING! Martin Yan was the first chef I ever watched on TV. This is a fun and educational video! Great artistry Chef Yan and Chef Hiro! Kudos to Charles too for the excellent camera work!
I love this. The chef I watched as a kid (Yan) and the chef I currently watch (Hiro) together for my enjoyment. Please, more of Chef Yan! Good afternoon!
OMG! Watching Martin Yan after so many years. He used to come on a channel in India, If Yan can cook, so can you! Amazing, unbelievable. Now I am in New Zealand. Loved the way you presented the recipes with a great sense of humour. God bless you Chef with good health and happiness and long life.👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
So jealous. I grew up watching Yan can cook. Must surely be a bucket list thing for Chef Hiro. Chef Yan is such a gentleman and his enthusiasm is infectious.
Before all of the Ramsays and Bourdains roamed the earth, there was Yan Can Cook. Long Live Martin!
"If Yan can cook, you can too!"
I tthink you need to have a show with Hiro.
No drama ! Refreshing !
Yeah, and Jamie Olive-Oil...

😂same here, and I am 36 now
Get some botox and a young wife 😂
I watched him when I was a child. Im 36 too!!! I'm sure he is one of the reasons why I love cooking at home

Greetings from Australia.
Since you're planning to visit Asia next year I hope you can come visit my country (Singapore) best place for food too
Martin Yan is still the chef OG. Watching him cut is sublime.
Seriously, for 30 years Martin Yan is the same guy. He is true to himself and that is why we love him. Felt like I was watching his cooking show again. Look at that...Look at this 😆
Hearing the rhythm while he cuts brings back memories and makes me smile.
Like all these years never happened!
I love how appreciative of other chefs Martin has always been. That Chinese cleaver tap tap tapping away melted decades off my life. I just turned 39 Sunday and this is the best birthday gift ever. Just can't say enough good things about both of you. May the journey always be fruitful!

Chef Martin Yan And His Friend Chef Han Should Visit Chef Hiro In Miami

I love how they have such different attitudes lol. Hiro is quiet reserved and respectful and martin is rambunctious and talkative and full of energy.

Me too!
When Martin would burn himself with the steamer “Ooh Hawt” 😆🤣
So much memories are flooding back. I remember watching this with my family on the weekend. It was so peaceful and I felt so love and had so much fun. Now my siblings are not really in my life anymore. I cherish all those memories. I wish I can go back and sit down in front of our TV and experience it again.
Loved it and so happy to see the union of Chinese and Japanese cooking with respect and gratitude. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Watching the two of you together I had tears in my eyes. Two masters together that admire each other’s work. It’s inspiring. The words I want to express about how much I love watching you both is escaping me right now. I wish I could give this video million likes.
I cried too
Martin Yan is the best, his excitement makes every show better.
I loved watching Chef Martin Yan as a child and I’m so glad he is healthy and happy. This video made me happy and hungry! Cheers!

It's amazing to see Martin Yan still so energetic after all these years! This was a great collaboration with the two chefs!
I appreciated these two maser chefs comparing their skills. Both are so good at what they do and how they present.
*Such an honour.*
So glad to see two icons together!
I am learning from him...he is the GOAT...
Chef yan my mom and grandfather used to watch all the time seeing him brings tears to my eyes reminds me of my grandfather
How has Chef Martin Yan not aged one bit??? That chopping rhythm is unforgettable. If Yan can cook, so can you!
I grew up with Yan Can.. San Francisco.. Thanks for the memories
There’s so much nostalgia hearing chef yan talk and chop. Reminds me so much of my grandparents house. Thanks chef Hiro for bringing him on your show.
Chef Yan is so humble. He's quick to compliment Chef Hiro's skills and openly asks him for the homemade recipe for teriyaki sauce. I work with a lot of great chefs and the best leaders in a kitchen are very quick to ask what younger chefs are doing. Also, as a chef, it's really hard to talk while cooking!

I'm so happy for Hiro. I can't imagine how hype it must feel to be praise by THE martin yan
All dishes are simple and taste the best. Thank you.
Martin Yan! Absolute legend! So awesome to see him. His enthusiasm was always wonderful.
Thank you so much for sharing, Hiro!!
One of the best presentations of excellence i have watched in years. Such respect for each other.
Chef Yan is the reason I worked as a chef for so many years. Truly a 🐐. I think I watched every episode of ( YAN CAN COOK)
