i had the pleasure of meeting Mikey back in NY, when he was still on Off the Great Wall. He is not very tall, about 5`6, also because Mikey is very built, which makes him appear shorter.

[@malinda7692]

This is one of the many reasons why I like his channel. Its bcs he doesnt just DO mukbangs, he also shows us where he is, cuz i feel like hes kinda giving the restaurant some credit for the incredible food hes eating. Andddd, he expresses how awesome the food is. And that's great about his channel.

[@alyasafiraip]

He also doesn't swear and lots of dad jokes too

"Bubble-less tea." So...tea? lol

I think he said Boba

@@inviziprism Mikey usually says "bubble tea," I think. In any case, "boba-less tea" would also just be "tea" :P

When you're back in Chinatown, you gotta hit up Jade Garden for dim sum. It's practically a Chinatown institution, and they'll need all the help they can get with COVID-19, damage from looters, and online racist attacks!

[@bruisr]

Yes! Jade Garden is one of the best dim sum spots. They don't mess around there.

[@chrissysow]

Not only dim sum but all of their Chinese food is excellent. Order the honey walnut prawn, or the squid calamari, or for the best greens ask for pea white!! Don’t order the fried rice though it’s not very seasoned, unless you ask for the stinky fried rice.

The man seriously has it made. What else could you want in life? Maybe a family or a wife...but hey, that stuff will come later and seeing how he has everything else in order, I don't think he'll ever have a problem getting those.

[@captain0310]

Mike, I used to date a girl who carried around her own set of chop sticks and pulled it out every place we went. It didn't mater what type of restaurant it was, and she used her own set of chop sticks instead of the restaurant utensils. It was one of the Japanese lacquered one and carried in a nice silk pocket. I suggest you get one of those and Korean silver spoon and carry it around instead of using cheap wooden chopsticks.

[@celecha]

Captain yes, and tell the restaurants not to provide utensils because you have your own

[@captain0310]

@@celecha Hey Cheng, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not but since Mike has been doing mukbang on the hood of his car, he has numerous times has either dropped the chopstick on the ground or the food establishment forgot to put in the bag. So the point of my comment is Mike should carry around extra utensils and it has nothing to do with utilizing restaurant's utensils or not.

[@knguyen2237]

Carrying your own utensils is more environmental friendly. I would recommend it.

He always stands to take a food bite. That is some foodie dedication we need in life!!!!! Love you mike. BIIIIIG FAAAN!!!!!
