Hey Mr.dumpling, i really appreciate a youtuber who is honest! a lot of tubers these days overhype everything they eat, they never tell us the food isn't actually that good. thanks for being a real food critic !

[@kerokeropi4768]

Lam Cao TRUE THAT JUST LIKE THE FUNG BROS....VERY DISSAPOINTING WENT TO THE RESTO THEY OVERHYPED THE SAVOY RESTO IT WAS VERY DISSAPOINTING FOOD WAS OVERBOARD MEDIOCRE😏

[@kelvinyany]

Mark Wiens Everything tasted orgasmic to him

[@MrFat1337]

LOL! dude fungbros is the first channel I thought of when i wrote that comment.

[@MrFat1337]

kelvinyany lol yeah either that dude never had decent food in his life before or hes just way too enthusiastic for me. #debbieDowner4life

[@eattravellovejoy20]

Actually I think he hasnt eaten in enough places in the nyc chinatown. Obviously Mike is not a New Yorker. Canal Street is not a chinatown food place. You have to go further down Canal St to get to the food. Not the chinatown part of canal. There's tons of places that are awesome. I'm from nyc and i been going to chinatown forever. Peking Duck House is the best peking duck. I don't care what Mike says. Jin Fung has incredible dim sum and cheap. I love that place. Hop Kee is an Anthony Bourdain fave for a reason. Tai Son is awesome Vietnamese. Bo Kee is the best noodle place and cheap.

[@TheYeti_97]

lol the amount of "why is that guy talking to a camera" expressions though

[@yajyang1908]

that's so true but if I was there I would just jump in and say my greetings to him/take pictures, then leave, and when I come home I'll cry tears of joy if I can!

[@jaywalkerpictures]

The Malaysian jerky shop owners seem so sweet, hope their business picks up from this vid.

[@BeardMan01]

Jaywalker Pictures She said that she gets a few new people because of this video. She is just as nice in person as she is in the video. Very sweet lady.

[@axaxlla5566]

She works all by herself the woman with the glasses she’s a good friend of my grandmas she has no workers

[@AshleyChuChu]

Oh no one has to worry about these owners, they make more money than anyone, they even raise their prices every year and people still buy them

[@7autumn5]

My child has already made me promise to take him here. You had him at “fresh jerky”

[@susanc.5759]

Okay. I grew up in Chinatown, spent my days living in Chinatown so I feel like there are certain things that I wanted to touch upon in this video. I get that there aren't a lot of great places to eat, but East Broadway does have more to offer than Mike says. There are a few really good places to eat on those particular streets, particular one which offers an amazing Fuzhounese breakfast. Every friend that I've taken has loved it. Not many are familiar with Fuzhounese food but that's probably why Mike feels like there isn't anything to eat at East Broadway. The place that he says not to go to eat at in the beginning of the video, I agree with not going upstairs to the dim sum place upstairs but there are a few really good places down in the basement. For the jewelry, I agree with Mike. They offer better deals than most western places. My mum has been working at the same company as one of the stores that was shown in the video for maybe 15 years now and used to work at one of the Chinatown locations. Compared to a western jewelry place, they might overcharge you by an extra $3000-$6000 for a piece of jewelry that could be the same quality or greater quality at a Chinese place. I also used to live at Eldridge and honestly, Vanessa's dumplings is just overhyped. It used to be really good but sadly, it's not as good anymore. I feel like they cater more towards their American customers' now.

[@getter3in1]

Susan C. the skin getting too doughy eh?

[@susanc.5759]

getter3in1 That and I think it's been over hyped. There are better dumpling places out there.

[@getter3in1]

Prosperity is one of the good place, last time I checked the owner opened a place in Brooklyn close to where sake sushi is

[@clarissakrigger4599]

Vanessa's is def over hyped. Just like Joe's shanghai.

[@doc.l]

All you’ve said was facts -also born and raised in Chinatown

[@KayteePhilly]

This makes me happy and sad at the same time. Me and my close friend used to make frequent trips down to Chinatown (We're from Philly) to eat and walk around. It was so much fun! She has since passed away though so it does break my heart but I'm thankful for the great memories!

[@wongjefx980]

OMG. The jerky talk reminded me of growing up north of the boarder, and Jimmy's Chinese Style Beef Jerky from Vancouver. Came in plastic wrapping and inside a box with pictures. Two flavours, sweet and sweet/hot..miss it so much.

[@animatedlife00]

it is so cool how just some miles away there are 3 different china town with distinctive operation, food, and vibe. i want to go there one day

[@100theDork]

Quickly becoming my favorite channel for this style of content. Thank you for the upload! So glad I found it.

[@karvinsunny4199]

I lived in NYC Chinatown for 25 years, moved to CA in 2011. I missed this place so much, thank you Mike for this awesome tour!

[@baboon500]

I am a Brooklyn native. I don't know where to eat in Chinatown and I always get lost because the streets are not numbered. I usually just grab a Vietnamese sandwich or ice cream from Chinatown ice cream factory. I've recently discovered Xi'an noodles. They are really good too!

[@TheMrpotatoes1]

I don't live in New York, and don't have plans to visit anytime soon, but I like the way people talk about food on this channel.

[@LiLi-mg5xx]

Hi Mike, I enjoy watching your videos. Just want to let you know that there's actually a small hidden gem inside of 88 East Broadway. It's a fujianese restaurant, located in the basement behind the stairs. Their stream buns, oxtail noodle soup, bian rou (fj wonton), peanut noodle dishes are worth a try, very cheap. You can get all these dishes for about $12. hope u get to try out one day.

[@afsanaeatingstuff]

"if you walk in here all white... you might not get that good of a deal" LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

[@MsRazorcraft]

"If you walk in here all... white". That had me dying lmao

[@isunlloaoll]

I love the Manhattan Chinatown, because you can still catch a glimpse of the old new York. Little Italy nearby used to be an active immigrant community too. So if you're interested in seeing the old New york, when immigrants swarm the streets of Manhattan, go and take a look.

[@lolitzvelda]

The jerky looks like it would be delicious with a soft bun or cut into smaller pieces and mixed with rice. Yum!!

[@donkey5706]

"If you're walking here all white", white girl walking right behind him LOL

[@OcciferSarah]

don key at least he's honest :/

[@tinyhowie]

And then the white girl speaks better Mandarin than a native lol.

[@buffalomind6838]

If you notice the camera cut off as she surely must of smacked him. :)

[@ziljin]

I heard some of those weddings end up with fights because of the wedding gifts. Damn Mike really doesn't like Manhattan Chinatown.

[@dannyr333]

I knowwww... I'm just watching I dk these places I'm from Florida it's so funny tho hes so real about it... in beginning of vid hes like "Manhattan china town is BY FAR the worse"

[@TrinaMCay]

Hahaha " it's cheaper because definitely they don't do anything to keep flies away". Mikey have a great sarcastic sense of humor:):)

[@Missuskeefe]

Mikey is a SAVAGE in this video! I love the honesty and frankly, I love Mikey too. No creepy. xD

[@comixdiscomix]

I love how he keeps it so real about the over hyped, mediocre places to avoid! I feel like I'll be experiencing the very best of each Chinatown when I visit now 👏👏👏👏

[@vrncsampson]

who is that lady in the leopard print that keeps magically appearing in the shot?

[@markbondoc8309]

[@suzieq4750]

When he was eating he said his aunt was next to him.

[@patshhi4620]

Mike, thanks for your honest assessment. It’s really appreciated by those of us who eat out a lot, and those who don’t.

[@klab2125]

I love how you don't care that the restaurant was caught making dumplings in the back ally. I'm totally with you! It's no different then getting food from an outdoor BBQ or a food cart. And if the food is great, I often turn a blind eye to things that might not agree with other people :-)

[@tusharandriyas6647]

Having had food just 15 mins ago and being hungry again speaks volumes about the way you present the food content.......keep it up Mikey!!

Thank you for this tour of Manhattan's Chinatown. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Mott Street. Anyone remember the Arcade with the chicken that played TicTacToe?

[@shawtieexbby]

I grew up in manhattan chinatown, and I agree, it isn't what it used to be. I was anticipating this shop called May wah fast food the whole video, and I was so disappointed it wasn't in here! Have you had it before? They serve chicken leg over rice (with meat sauce) for like $5! Its on Hester street. Check it out if you havent~~

[@renata13725]

I love this man's honesty and breathe of knowledge and will definitely follow his recommendations!

[@korohacker]

As a Malaysian, I'm actually quite surprised that someone from Malaysia opened a store in a Chinatown there! Those jerky are quite commonplace here, so I never really thought to compare them to American-style jerky. Glad to see that the shopowners are making a living in foreign places. Also thanks for the honest opinions on the place, if I ever go here, I'd follow your recommendations :3

[@clairestile5743]

People from Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Manhattan grew up playing HANDBALL. LOL... don't knock it! We still love you.

[@Sarisb]

You were absolutely savage. This was really helpful and entertaining, though. Thanks!

[@jennadangelo1614]

I watched this video last night so I could decide where to go for lunch in Manhattan - I was not disappointed. I went with your recommendations at Vanessa's Dumplings and had a great, satisfying experience. Thanks!

[@angelali360]

There is a place called Veniero's that has really good Italian desserts. There lobster tail is also very good.

[@marccolten9801]

Used to work in Manhattan within walking distance of Chinatown, Little Italy & the South Street Seaport. Group lunches were amazing.

[@francisshue7137]

I remember the last time I was on canal street. I had a white friend who bought a knockoff duffel for 80$ and I got the same one from the same seller for 15$. The only reason for the difference? I can speak Chinese. ;)

[@BeardedDragonMan1997]

Francis Shue you can't speak Chinese because Chinese is not a language

[@XxScArEcRoWxX1]

@Bearded Dragon Man 1997 come on dragon man. we all know it's a race and nationality. but if your Chinese, you speak Chinese/mandarin

[@BeardedDragonMan1997]

XxScArEcRoWxX1 Thats like saying im american so I speak American/English

[@Oyashio202]

Mandarin/Cantonese(Canto being the harder language). Let's not talk about what we don't know now.

I know it's not chinese, but right around the corner of the big curch on Mott, you go down the sloping street towards the park and there's an amazing Thai grocery. Bangkok Grocery, please go there if you haven't. They're a tiny foodie oasis. Shout-out to Bangkok grocery.

You missed Big Wong on Mott, they open at 7am, best duck congee I've ever had for breakfast.

You ignored the best place on Bayard, which is really good because I don't want tourists going there. Thank you.

[@moreadventure3627]

which one?

[@ellec5223]

Hello SD, note to your three part NYC Chinatown food. This one of NYC's could have been about the change in the people. It is the first and it will always be remembered as the first with a cha low - dim sum. The area breakdown is Mott is the oldest from nolita down to Pell. The roast meats over rice was there. East Broadway area was our breath of fresh air for nice dine in restaurants good Cantonese and Szechuan. Grand was groceries and maybe Vietnamese also on Baxter. Long history for me - a mural and the only mural of a time was on Hester. It was meant to. Elle for sampan congee

[@georgethomas9436]

hey I really like this one. you just let it rip with good information.

Being Fuzhounese, i grew up and went to alot of these weddings, very true Mike

[@tutuprincess25]

I've been to Vanessa's Dumpling House when I went to visit NYC. My friend who lives there recommended it. It was SOOOO good!!! Definitely the best meal I had my whole trip (and the cheapest)! I will have to try the sesame pancake next time I visit! :-)

[@VIPyellowwolfy21]

i would recommend the one with duck! thats my favorite from vanessas. ive tried the beef multiple times and every time its been pretty dry. just know that your hands will be drenched in oil because the sesame pancake is deep fried in oil, but it is so worth it :D

[@amoustaf]

Megan Williams i always go there in Chinatown for dumplings. It's really good.

Awesome People same lol im just like mike hates too much on manhattan's chinatown

[@Urbankungfu61]

Bro’, you’ve hammered my beloved Chinatown to the ground. I’m Puertorican, born and raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the beauty of living there is the diversity of the people and their cultures. Chinatown is one of my favorite or perhaps THE favorite spot to eat in New York. I agree that there are some restaurants that are better than others but you make it seem like they’re “dangerous” or something by unnecessarily “warning” your subscribers! I will respectfully disagree with you, Chinatown is in fact beautiful with the crowds, the stores and vendors , even the “street meat” is tasty. Like I said: I may be Hispanic but I love and respect my Asian brothers and sisters and love my Chinatown!

[@shubox]

usually i like your videos, but as someone who knows this neighborhood very well.. lol.. there's quite a few things mentioned that is debatable

at least we know which places to avoid amiright?

Because there aren't many good places just some.hidden gems. Two hidden gems I like are both on Mott street. There is a chopstick shop that sells handmade chopsticks and fans and combs and then there is noodle village which is my go to Chinatown place to eat. I used to recommend Elizabeth street mall but this is back when J & L gameshop was around there. Now there isnt much down there. I also back up his bakery recommendation on mulberry st except they sell lobster tails (also my fav treat) every day now so enjoy. There used to be s lady on doyers who sold fresh scallion pancakes outside but she dissapeared

[@dchang11]

Manhattan's Chinatown started to lose its edge since the late 1990's. Gentrification on the Lower East Side, which was traditionally an immigrant, working class neighborhood, started to encroach on Chinatown's borders, a trend that continues today. Rising rents convinced newly arrived immigrants to look for cheaper options elsewhere, such as Queens and Brooklyn. Another major blow was the 9/11 attacks. Due to its location, Chinatown became a "frozen zone" as no trucks were allowed south of Canal St, not to mention smoke and dust filled the air. Businesses could not get deliveries or customers for months. Some had to close down or relocate. Think of it. Most of Chinatown's business comes from the weekend suburban families looking to shop groceries and have dim sum. With the growing neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, and the New Jersey suburbs, families became open to other options. Many longtime residents have said the neighborhood hasn't been the same since, and the loss of the Twin Towers became a major setback of Manhattan's Chinatown.

[@jeniDidiotXD]

Shu Jiao Fu Zhou Cuisine Restaurant, wohop, lam Zhou pulled noodles, and many more places are delicious and authentic places to eat at. Usually love your videos, but this video doesn't represent what NYC Chinatown has to offer. Many places you visited are not where locals go, for example your trip to Vanessa dumplings. Not trying to be negative but more research should be done. Also the dumpling shop that shut down for health violation was called prosperity and the new store is a different dumpling store opening at that location.

So you're telling me I need to marry a Chinese girl right?

[@VIPyellowwolfy21]

he didnt really tell the full story. so they will have a HUGE wedding dinner, but those dinners are expensive. so the couples dont actually keep a lot. (family from both husband and wife, then extended families such as cousins, 2nd cousins, friends etc) lets say 1 table is around 12 people, each table will be around $400-$600+ (depending on what is served). and there are usually around 15-20+ tables. So that is around $6000-$120000+ just for dinner. then theres the dress, wedding rings, wedding ceremonies etc ssooo yeah go ahead and marry a chinese girl lol

[@Ash_Wen-li]

VIPyellowwolfy21 Well I was just joking haha I'll take what I can get.

what flavor jerky do they have at the jerky place ?

[@jweezyf0sheezy1]

Best beef jerky ever. Avoid the grounded square ones and go for the original flanks much better mouth feel. BTW if you love sesame pancake and around Vanessa's head on Spicy Village on Forsyth and try their pan fried bun with pork and cilantro very simple but absolutely amazing.
