When he spilled some tea on the table 😂

[@waassup]

Knowing how much Mike can eat in one sitting，I think he headed straight to Chinatown for more food after this. Lol

[@nervousbabbs2769]

Goofy Walrus has arrived😄 16:48

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

at 16:53 - the peking duck dish looks like a googly face, lol.

[@pink.penguin]

Do y'all remember when Mike would go to some back alley restaurant and have amazing noodles?? .. 🍜 .. I miss that 😔 That first soup though 😋♥️

[@SaffuillaKarman]

As San Francisco is in a 'Death Loop', it looks like he's been getting invitations from the various restaurants to come and make a video about them. They hope it will get them vacationers.

[@Ramberta]

I see your point, but I kinda like watching him dine luxuriously. Makes me aware of how the "other side" lives lol. And he certainly deserves it!

[@jasonsenita1]

Agree…. Miss him finding an $2 hole in the wall noodle soup… don’t think I’d ever pay $25 for soup.

[@Frodokeuh]

what i don't like mike's reviews is that he doesn't say anything negative about the places he visit i find it stale after awhile it's always good good the best this and that compared to a few hong kong food channel i follow they do say it when it's bad and why it's bad even World's Best Seafood channel (small sec channel of a photographer) have a honest review for noma's kyoto pop up restaurant (it was not mild lol) which i don't think mike would have a honest review on a restaurant at that lvl if he only give good review on any restaurant then all his reviews are questionable...

[@amys263]

Mike used to do that. I think both places in this vid were sponsored.

[@skotdude]

He also said if he doesn't like a place, he just doesn't include them in the video. This is called survivorship bias. He's got no problem negatively reviewing a big chain restaurant, but he's not about to damage someone's reputation due to his own opinion. Maybe keep that in mind when you see some youtuber denigrating someone's food. It's their own personal opinion, and they could have just simply not included it in the video. Makes it seem like they're clout goblins, desperate for as much content as they can get. No content creator is truly a "professional food critic".

[@illLIL27]

Bc Mikey is a human garbage disposal.

[@SnowyCountryChicken]

In his earlier videos, he did have some negative reviews for some places and he was skewered in the comment section. There was a video on restaurants in NYC Chinatown and commenters actually said if he had nothing nice to say, he shouldn't say it. I am not typically a defender of Mike. He still needs to broaden his vocabulary and work on his enunciation and pronunciation.

As an adult, I love bitter food. Not super bitter but just enough to change the flavor of what your eating. But it's something I saw we get use to as we get older, because as a kid I'm all about sweet and sweet only like ketchup.

Gaslighted into thinking that you are so “special” in this “secret” restaurant so they can charge you 2 times more for everything xD

[@zhenhuang536]

How is the first place one Michelin star??? We can't tell the taste but the presentation and execution looks pretty normal

[@theopinion9452]

Is just food,even you can make it the same way or better!..The ingredients are the same everywhere in the world,maybe a bit more expensive in other places but in San Francisco I know the cost is higher just because of rent prices.

[@rsnc23]

Harborview in SF is very, very, very high quality. I eat a lot of different kinds of Chinese food in San Francisco and the place is expensive but the quality makes it worth the splurge. Also, Harborview is a nice ratio of almost completely traditional, conservative menu but with slight nouvelle touches.

[@karenmtwong]

I don’t think anyone said they are Michelin star…they are listed in the Michelin Guide.

[@pmg-1]

it would be nice if when an item is priced as "market" you could tell us the price you paid per pound at the time of filming..so we can get an idea what to expect as a price point for that dish. 😊

[@rsnc23]

Market price means if it's necessary to ask you cannot afford it.

[@pmg-1]

@@rsnc23 😂 exactly

[@proroot]

@pmg-1 I live in the Bay Area and a live crab like that in an fancy Asian restaurant will set you back in the 65-80 dollar range

The wild pea shoots are everywhere if you like to go hiking and it’s quite common for East Asian to forage for edibles while on a stroll. 😂

[@victorlui5955]

Yay!!! Hello Mr. Mike Chen!!! 😍❤😊🍻🍺

[@rsnc23]

Koi Palace/Dragon Beaux/Palette Tea House ( all the same owner ) might interest you. R & G Lounge, Mr Jiu's, House Of Nanking, Yuet Lee, Mandarin Islamic are noteworthy. Jade Chocolate ( Fine Chocolate blended with Asian and Pacific Island spices ) also does a very interesting afternoon tea with a rotating menu. Sotto Mare, Colibri, L'ardoise, Poc Chuc, Fina Estampa, Brenda's French Soulfood and Tu Lan are also distinctive places, part of the kaleidoscope of San Francisco you might want to consider.

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Nice lunch with the overpriced dishes! I saw that the crab was Market Price, of course! With that great local & chef I'm not surprised that the soup was $25! Now, the "secret" restaurant with 8 tables was a very special event! So, how much did it cost? I wasn't a fan of most of the dishes but I saw a very unique experience & very private setting!

[@melissacoats6855]

I think the menu card said 125 or 150
