TRADITIONAL Old Fashioned Chinese Hotpot & BEIJING Dishes in San Francisco

[@LawacleGaming]

Missing this trio honestly. These were the good times

[@djdariana]

lol. when he took a bite from the fish and made a face. the song in the background went so well with it. his face was like OMG and the song was like TAKE ME AWAY!!!! i died. 😆😆😆

[@seoulbornetakehiko8635]

@6:48 As Mike bites into that succulent fish, in the background.... "Take me away, to a secret place!!" Best moment in this video. I laughed a bit too hard on that moment.

[@jayromano1693]

"Should we fight them?" LOL!!! That was funny!

[@christinagutierrez7911]

warning: never watch Mike's videos on an empty stomach!!!!

[@lverboy4685]

I'm starving

[@RSr-uo9dl]

I had dinner before watching. Still didn't help!!! I couldn't even finish the video.Bye.

[@Jakovdred]

Watched in the middle of the night, at place 10 miles away from any shop that has food, decides to adopt this as method of interrogation.

[@mzmodest]

For sure!

[@Roberttang20]

+Sharpice Woods watched this after I finshed a nightmarket in Taiwan

[@Longlong-5]

[@SuperGolgotha]

I love this video, everything looks fantastic and I really enjoy the friendship you all have, thanks for including us.

[@TheOriginalRaster]

It's really fun 'virtually' hanging out with you guys. Hearing your comments, seeing the dishes, this is honestly great entertainment. The only thing better is if I had three friends like you and I went out and joined in with them. Thanks!

[@yourgirlkimmy]

my mouth is watering...ahhh everything looked so good!

[@wendyyan7120]

I’m originally from the Bay Area and love seeing videos like this! It gives me great ideas for my next visit home! Show me more fantastic foodie places!

[@carriepletcher7987]

I love these guys! so down to earth fun!!!

[@snatchingstars]

this is the cutest thing. just 12 minutes of mike going "this is AMAZING" and his friends echoing "SO GOOD'

[@VadiseDeHanyou]

😃 WOWWWWW! ! ! I haven't seen a Chinese restaurant like this in YEARS. *sees glass on table* Is that glass on the table?! Oh my gosh, they have glass on the tables!!! I remember that. . . . . Wow kind of nostalgic Also Xing speaking Chinese brings much smiles to my face 😊😊😊😊

[@realzhella6817]

I really miss this phase of mikey

[@Gummobear]

Ohmygosh the entire video was just so yum!!!

[@desiderataification]

Chinese food keeps stopping me from becoming a proper vegetarian!!!

[@petrini9585]

Good ;)

[@YSFmemories]

weird... chinese food is the only type of food I don't mind eating without meat.

[@GoofyGoober-us7yp]

desiderataification good don't go to the dark side

[@user-wu6xl4wq5q]

desiderataification On behalf of fellow Chinese people who can cook, Enjoy and embrace the food.

[@Pugmie]

Because the Chinese aren't pussies.

[@amethystangelic914]

pocket full of sunshine is playing in the background 👌👌

[@tiffanyfelkner8995]

I am so excited to see your awesome food adventures in San Francisco! Looks like your first one, is a big success! That lamb looked amazing!

[@Dddezzz]

West Coast is the best coast! Really looking forward to all your SF restaurant reviews.

[@melissarobinson9618]

6:08 "Pocketful of sunshine" describes hot pot perfectly, lol🥢❣

[@MsLansones]

YAY! You guys are here!!!!

[@patriciafrancis9134]

I don't even know the both of you yet I'm so happy that you moved together......enjoy your new home,be happy....and eat lots and lots of FOOD. I love to learn about your culture from all your different shows.

[@mirkomueller3412]

Definitely a place to put on the wishlist.

[@michaeltee1113]

mouthwatering just watching this blog well done mike

[@alexbarlow4617]

brilliant video really enjoy them need more of them though keep them coming guys

[@Wytchlord]

You three are definitly really good friends :D Makes me kind of envious of you ^^ And Mike, can you make much more cooking videos in your new place? Because I am from germany and nothing here is authentic chinese food so the only way for me to actually taste it is to do it myself ... and you mostly pick the easy recipes XD Which is good for me ;3

[@lytherael2309]

I love this channel! Finally I can watch something during eating. This is pretty much my only subscribed channel that isn't science, gaming or humor. I cannot eat watching either of those so this channel is really convenient!

[@erikataniguchi]

Cool! You're moving here; woo-hoo! SF needs more foodies 😋 Thanks for sharing yummy spots!

[@strictlydumpling]

thanks for watching!!!

[@vibinwithjaneyy3824]

MIKE U BETTER MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO THE NEXT TIME U GO THERE!!! THE FOOD LOOKS SOOOOO GOODDDDD

[@sstovettop5221]

how are you guys not 300 pounds! I'm so jealous! I wish I could eat this much in one sitting

[@malnutritionboy]

Stacey Cecilia are you 300 pounds?

[@xXAeromodsXx]

I know right! :( I wish I was able to eat this much gooood food aswell.

[@raymondzhao6015]

+DJRap999 no, she's obviously saying that she's jealous that she can't eat without gaining quickly

[@GolumPlays]

because Mike is doing sport. Like running 10 Miles for warm up and than he is doing Weight Lifting.

[@6ixpixl438]

I mean what can I say? Asians can eat and not get fat quickly

[@rainbowparfait]

Just yesterday I was thinking how great it would be to have a channel like yours for the Bay Area AND THEN I SEE THIS VID. I hope you weren't joking about moving here. I'd love you guys so much. Not that I don't already do.

[@zannie2723]

So happy you have moved to the West Coast, now I may be able to try your recommendations. Big welcome to you & friends! Hope you will travel to Portland, Seattle and Vancouver to eat. Enjoy the great food and the rain.

[@YSFmemories]

"This is not a regular hotpot as we have shown you before" This is the only kind of hotpot I knew (well, at least in terms of the sauce) for the first 20+ years of my life. I remember my first time going to "xiao fei yang" and seeing a bunch of different kinds of sauces and I was like WOW. totally impressed.

[@starlessartemis]

I shall bookmark this on yelp! Glad you guys are moving to the bay!

[@slckofit]

Love your videos!! And great to hear you're moving to SF. Now I can actually try the restaurants that you recommend!

[@dionnemeddings8602]

Lamb ribs sounds delicious!!! Thanks for sharing Mike!!! 💜💜💜

[@siddrajan]

That moment when the song drops in the background ( 6:41 ) as Mikey starts to go off about how good the hot pot it is. Timing is impeccable haha :D Greetings from India, and great vid as always.

[@derred723]

One of the great things about the Bay Area is with all the diversity there are lots of truly authentic ethnic restaurants from Chinese, to Filipino, to Ethiopian to Peruvian etc. And the great thing is lots of it trickles down to the smaller ethnic places. And also the people in the bay area are pretty open to eating a range of food from from, hypothetically, the most authentic southern Mexican food to a good old bay area burrito. And if you hunt a little you can find great authentic ethnic food.

[@Loveamandapatrice]

Your channel has grown so much

[@haoyan7947]

Glad to hear u all made it to SF. Was good seeing u at presso cafe last week. I m from Beijing and I can tell this is good

[@razwanahmed89]

Best guests you've had on the channel so far

[@alanho1660]

The food look awesome

[@katherinechung993]

Super excited to hear that you guys are moving to SF!

[@Sunflower2024-w8z]

you make me so hungry with your videos the food looks amazing

[@jon134a]

This look really good. Will try ASAP. Thanks guys.

[@cindyflores9708]

Hot Pot with Friends is always Amazing 😉 looks yummy 😋

[@Babsonthego4]

With all the different Chinese foods.. Its so difficult figuring it all out.. And now I have you to come to so when I go to a Chinese Restaurant. I will be able to order with ease.. Thank You so much for your Vlogs... I now have subscribed to your channel..

[@miladesanta7799]

Definitely trying this place the next time I'm in SF! Wow, I'm hungry now!

[@cherryb5008]

Awesome. I've lived/worked in San Bruno for 10 years and there are so many restaurants, now I'll know where to go. So excited. Hot Pot places are popping up more and more. Welcome to the area.

[@MrJizzy181]

Yi is just so adorable!

[@TheKamakuraGardener]

I wish you both well in your new home, San Francisco! I know I've been critical sometimes but I enjoy your videos! 👏🏾👍🏾🤗

[@lianghuan4735]

Mike...great call on those lamb riblets...freakin delicious. The waitresses still remember you. Looking forward to more food recs in the bay!

[@katiesg6948]

At 4:37 Yi's face is soooo cute, satisfied by the food.

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

I really miss the Chinese food in the bay area. You are going to have so much fun finding new places to eat!

[@illusmode]

Hi Guys, Try San Tung in the sunset. Their chicken wings are awesome. And Purple Kow milk tea in the richmond. Best hot pot I've had in the bay area is Boiling Point in Fremont, just so fresh. Also check out Wuji's Mala house if you're down there, they have good taiwanese hot pot. And lastly, in Fremont, I think you guys would like TLT chinese bbq.

[@vcura]

*puts hot oil on noodles* Mike: Is it ok if I hot oil this? Me: You already put the oil on why are u asking 😂

[@visualvendetta]

I love your videos dude!!!!

[@christopherthr]

Glad you finally found a great place in your new home! When I finally get around to visiting my friends in San Francisco I'll have to check it out.

[@apieceofhair7362]

I live in California and you've come to the right place for Chinese food!

[@eekaygames]

FYI this place is in San Bruno. A suburb south of San Francisco.

[@TheDive25]

why do I always watch these videos at 3am while i'm starving.. brutal..!

[@miriesong7140]

I love your videos mike!!!!!

[@tinglei9029]

Great video Mike!! Love the dad joke btw

[@draxquirnon6809]

OMG Mikey! Everything looked delicious!!!

[@JingCLS]

Because of your great review, we'll go to this place tomorrow! Thanks. 😊👍

[@lianglonglong]

not being able to sleep becaus of hunger... now watching this....

[@heavyarmswing]

mike we hit up this spot after watching this and it was definitely one of the tops. i think you guys missed a sleeper though in the fried intestine. we ordered it on a whim and it was the best intestine i've had. ever. the lamb was freaking good but that intestine stole the show. so good!

[@LLegendsCrew]

Thank you for the recommendation! Will definitely visit on my next trip.

[@whatwendylikes]

You all are so great, thanks for your clean content and down to earthiness. Drooling over the food!!

[@getdennis]

Can't quit you Mike! One vid leads to another, which leads to another...

[@laurenteb6906]

Hey man, Really enjoying your videos..

[@Cardzworld712]

Isn't someone going to notice that at 6:50 the music was perfect for Mike's reaction to the hotpot beef?😜

[@waineebeauty7543]

Welcome to SF! We have a ton of great restaurants so I hope you find them! Love your videos.

[@righton8street473]

Just ate an hour ago... And yet after watching your videos I am now soooo hungry

[@LoriBanosco]

I am always amazed how much food you order

[@strictlydumpling]

go big or go home :-)

[@darrenruan08]

+Strictly Dumpling Australia has some nice hotpot places too in Melbourne. Come and visit please.

[@alternativeroots]

I think I have put on 10 kilos just watching! 😂😂😂 great videos! !

[@EuphoricFrenzy]

you guys are moving to SF?! awesome, see ya around. Never been to this place but next time will definitely try it out.

[@koratheninja2442]

Sometimes feel sorry for Mike. He has to third wheel Dan and Yi 😂😂😂😂😂 i know they're all friends

[@linhnguyenduy9013]

I think he doesn't really care :)) he's in a relationship with foods right there LOL...

[@EuphoricFrenzy]

nothing comes between a man and his relationship with food. XD

[@nilanjanabasu2552]

LOL trueeeeeeew

[@Rchan925]

this is down the street from my moms in san mateo I never went there.. I need to go there one day the next time I visit her! gonna be on my list to go. and now I can watch your videos and visit the places one day cause they will be near by. within traveling distance

[@iitzchippy3575]

omg I'm high af and all I want to do is eat all that food almost tried eating my phone 😂😂😂

[@bobthebob8817]

Love that you all went back the next day... "I'll be back" tomorrow at 7pm:)

[@littleblueorchid]

Cool you guys are moving to SF! I'm near SF.

[@GossamerWaits]

I was JUST thinking about how I wish the stuff was halal when the guy said that!! I'm sooo happy

[@huhulili9021]

that looks so good, chinese food is the best, you should try nanjing's 口水鸭

[@nikkinak3517]

I've never had it before, but you have convinced me. Now I really want to try chinese hotpot! :)

[@MrStarman1978]

Its almost midnight, haven't had supper yet and I'm watching this video!! I hate you Mikey 😜

[@danmariemakeup]

Great video! Now that you're in the bay would looooove to see something in and around Oakland Chinatown? Any dumpling and/or noodle recs? Love your channel!

[@mjs28s]

All those dried peppers in that dish at 5:45 - are you supposed to eat those? They, from my experience, are practically unchewable. I love the heat that they add, but I always pull them out to the side unless they are very thin or much smaller pieces.

[@EducationandTravelRookie4890]

LOL YI'S reaction to Mike when asking her if she from Beijing. btw I Like Spice in my food too. at the new York food court I got Sichuan tenden and jerkey but I couldn't finish it because it passed my spice level. as usual best of luck on the move to San Fransico

[@brianhuang3033]

Anyone else make it to this video after watching Mikeys video of Oakland Chinatown in March 2021?

[@damascusraven]

6:20 "I can taste the flavor" YOU DON'T SAY?

[@fhaerplays4192]

The minute I heard Pocket Full of sunshine play I started jamin out xD

[@aznding90]

OMG! I'm from San Francisco, I would show you guys all the good food places!

[@sfdanceron1]

I loved to see your list of good places.

[@aznding90]

+Anthony White what kind of cuisine?

[@sfdanceron1]

I like it all, but my bias is toward the North, I like it spicy. One of the best Northern styled restaurants (back in the day) was a place called "Yenching" located in Berkeley. I have yet to find a place to rival Yenching in the Bay Area. I recently checked out the House of Pancakes, amazing pulled noodles.

[@ArielVolovik]

Sichuan food is spicy...Mort southern though

[@tienglongmy]

You're moving to SF, hell yeah! It's going to take you years to eat through the bay area. Looking forward to the videos!!

[@tracyd9573]

I actually googled lamb rib hot pot on the east coast in NY or Boston. I like seeing you three again in this video.

[@iamJ.Le3]

Every time I watch Mike video I'm all ways hungry 😫😩

[@888katiechau]

I'm from SF, can't wait to see you guys doing some food review in the bay area.
