$2 BIG BUNS Chinatown CHEAP EATS & HIDDEN GEMS in New York!

[@TheJtyork420]

I will never forget when I had dim sum for the 1st time. I was dating a girl from Flushing NYC and her family took me out to eat when I came into town. To this day I'm trying to get my family to try it cause it really is so good. Step out of ur comfort zone and u may find something u love.

[@canadianeskimogirl]

I'm scared because I don't know anyone who knows dimsum and I wouldn't know what to do when I walked into the restaurant

[@bobroberts7308]

I’m not Chinese but I love dim sum. You gotta try it. Servers walk about with food cart. If the foods good they won’t know much English. Just point at the dishes you want and keep an open mind. I love the radish cakes and shrimp ball. Chicken feet is interesting

[@SuMtOnE]

@@canadianeskimogirl Just go in and wait to be seated. They'll be pushing the food in a rolling cart around and pick what you want to try =) Good luck

[@ditackett]

I’m still the only one who eats anything other then sweet and sour chicken in my family. I ate at a Vietnam restaurant the other day (first time) and tried pho that had tripe and tendon in it. I never had it before and I’m not someone who has really had the guts to try that kind of thing until I seen Mikey start doing it with crab head liquid gold and lobster and crawfish heads. My first time took me a min to get past what I was eating but the taste was good and CLEAN tasting.

[@TheJtyork420]

@@SuMtOnE it's so dope isn't it. It's like a little dumpling buffet that comes to ur table.

[@brittlink]

Here’s the type of videos I love , local real handmade food that’s affordable! More of these please!! 🙏🙏🙌🙌

[@DjappoMKS]

Agree with you. Don't need that fancy 200 star hotel breakfast or so. Nice cheap local real homemade food for me.

[@xwongx]

Agreed

[@ludettep]

I like these more than the recent string of dimly lit high end stuff.

[@lstarrb]

Agreed

[@Chocolatepain]

Why not both?

[@mollymiller1125]

Nothing better than a cheap eats video in New York!!

[@lungcheeze2197]

Eating them would be better

[@mr.person1219]

These are the go-to hole-in-the-walls I would always visit since college. When you only have $10 or even $5 in flushing and you need to stretch it out, these places are the satisfying ones.

[@huniebeebee]

You should do a cheap eats and hidden gems series in diff states. I love these vids, it’s like.. back to basics, let’s goto Flushing.

[@thelight5067]

My wife and I will traveling to New York for our first time and wanted to eat traditional Chinese cuisine. Thank you for this video and we will use your other videos regarding Chinese cuisine in New York as reference.

[@yourfavpersuasion9385]

fun bros are great too for Manhattan china town eats!

[@karryb9872]

Flushing has so much to offer when it comes to cheap eats💜 Spam and egg instant noodles is truly a breakfast staple in Hong Kong. We have soya sauce chow mein too with congee (not so much the curry one for breakfast). Always jealous of Mikey staying in New York 😋

[@david-prestondent7808]

Mikey in NY is the best. Him eating all of Korea in the height of COVID is a close second.

[@RichardPeterShon]

finally! your editions of cheap eats! Was wondering when you would show these again lol! have a wonderful day bro

[@strictlydumpling]

You too Richard!

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

These are my fav videos. Not super into the high end eats, but I guess every now and then it's ok. When I hear Mikey tell his basement apartment story, I know I'm in the right place.

[@felinemage8285]

Like being real. For his average viewer some of those super high end eats are waaaaaay out of our pay grades lol

[@ludettep]

Well agreed, the past 6m or so has been a lot of poorly lit high end places. I like the cheaper eats better.

[@sherryillk]

The high end restaurants are aspirational. It’s good to be exposed to all levels of cuisine, if only to be more knowledgeable about food.

[@sparkboi21]

I went to a place called King Dumplings in Chinatown (74 Hester Street) NY, and I loved it since trying it for the first time. 10 dumplings just for $5, I always get the beef one. Very juicy they always make it fresh on order. I do also recommend getting the fish ball soup with it to wash it all down which cost $3. Very affordable and very delicious! If you haven't made a review video on it, I want to hear your opinion on the place. Happy Easter!

[@yourfavpersuasion9385]

ooooo! ugh I just hate the train so I haven't Made my way down to Manhattan china town in like 3 years.

[@asummer9460]

That's really helpful for travellers visiting NY & getting some inexpensive breakfast & delicious affordable eats around town. Thanks for another great vid, love how you stuff the whole egg in that Bao bun...👍👍🤩😋

[@mrfixitwannabe7439]

Hey Mikey, loved the video. We are going to New York in a week and wanted to hit as many food places as we could in both China towns. You mentioned at the end of the video something about a shuttle that takes you between the two China towns and I was hoping you could elaborate on that some more

[@ChinaDollTravels]

3:15 delicious Hong Kong milk tea it will go well go with the bun! Traditional Hong Kong cafe dishes!!! Everything looks tasty 👅 and delish noodles are nice and scrumptious

[@gailsiangco5599]

Yummy Goodness Mikey !!! Memories & Hidden gems !!!I love how you enjoy the simple foods & also how you do high end restaurants too !!!

[@stephaniemcleod4025]

I am putting all these places on my bucket list if I ever get out to New York!! Thank you for showing so many great finds

[@debbiegardner8317]

Great video Mike hello from England! The bun stuffed with egg dipped in chilli oil looked amazing!

I ❤️ your video of Flushing NY . A place where there’s lots of Asian eats if one is craving for affordable food with great value. Please continue with such awesome vlog 😁✌️💕👨‍🍳

[@dave4342]

Me too

[@MichelleDenise64]

it sounds like I need to bring a cooler with me to bring back a lot of goodies. Thanks for the tips. The way you put the egg in that bun reminded me of putting a Jamaican beef patty in cocobread. Now I want both.

[@GG4GJake]

You just blew my mind with that beef patty trick

[@CLouise4]

The ‘curry noodles’ we call Singapore noodles in aus usually with roast pork, chicken and prawns :)

I'm in Scotland and it's the same name here, love them.

[@503945158]

Mike we miss your cheap eats videos. I know you can afford fancy eating but we love these cheap eats videos. Nothing can be more real than hardworking people trying to get by, by serving fresh hot food for a lark.

[@amyalexander8993]

I like it when he does cheap eats, food I can actually afford to buy myself.

[@ditackett]

Mikey is in heaven being back in NYC in China town eating all that authentic Chinese food again.

[@SteveMusselman]

this dude has the best job!! and makes the food look so good. im hungry every time i watch one of his videos

[@Evangelium]

Thank you for coming back to NYC!!! I love it when you introduce us to local cuisine. We don't have to travel far!!! 😆

[@somerflowers]

Is there any updates on your restaurants Mikey? Just been thinking about that lately 🤗

[@benwilton5307]

His Karne Korean BBQ/Steakhouse restaurant is permanently closed. The Shaku Ramen (Shaku Therapy) restaurant in Flushing has mixed reviews you can read on Yelp, google and seamless

[@mnmrbbt]

Flushing Chinatown will be on our list if we ever make it back to NYC. The dumplings and buns look so scrumptious! I came prepared to watch your video today, with crispy basil / cheese / corn 蛋餅 here in Taiwan!

Whatever happened to that noodle restaurant you were going to open last year? Or the other place in TX?

[@CantoErgoSum]

I grew up in Flushing and have eaten at so many of these spots. The food choices are unbelievable on Main Street. Highly recommend.

I do love the dumplings and the pork buns 😋 I have to try the ramen with spam. Yummy food video

Back to the NY roots, super awesome~ I only been to NY for really short time in the past and sucks that I didn't get to explore it more so these videos definitely helps :)

[@Omega65713]

NYC is a rough place to be. I traveled there 2 times. It is a tough place to survive not to talk about being a tourist there. Even the food is soooo good i can not beare with the traffic environment.

Wow. Makes my mouth water. Dumplings are now my favorite thing. Huge meaty. Wish there was somewhere I could get them.❤😋😋👍😊😊☺️

Hey Mike, couldn’t find the tea egg recipe you mentioned in the vid. Would love to try it out.

Yeah not the best time to go, i recommend now, spring or fall. If you don't mind the cold, winter is amazing.

[@yongyilee3664]

@@greenmachine5600 ​ @TechPodYT Is that because of the weather - i.e., the heat? I live in Brisbane (subtropical climate) so I'm pretty used to that. And yeh, I don't really have a choice cause my bro-in-law is getting married in the States around that time.
