I love Vancouver. Been to numerous cities but Vancouver is definitely my favorite for Asian food plus the fishing & hunting in BC is incredible!

[@FlavorofMind]

Jealous! I really want to visit sometime, and go bonkers on seafood 😅

[@TheBigburcie]

I used to go to Vancouver a few times a year because my grandparents were still there. That was back when my parents were choosing places to eat and their tastes are definitely a little blander, but even the average Chinese restaurants were great. When I was a bit older, I lived there for a semester and got to try the local sushi scene and some Indian foods and everything was fantastic. There are great fancy places, but even the neighborhood hole in the wall places are worth trying.

[@justinreid5134]

Lol People don’t hunt in the lower mainland they hunt in the Coots.

[@FlavorofMind]

@TheBigburcie it all sounds so excellent. I hope to go someday and stay long enough to try those types of hole in the wall spots!

[@williamkeu4338]

Hi l

[@canadianeskimogirl]

Welcome back to Canada Mikey! And happy Chinese New Year by the way🍲 " maybe the best soup dumplings in North America" yay!!

[@rabes1981]

Welcome back to BC, glad you enjoyed your short visit. Love your other Vancouver videos in the past, hope you do another series here some day. Safe travels.

[@OneAzzholesOpinion]

I live in Vancouver it is incredibly expensive to live here but it is the best big city in Canada. So much nature, so many beaches, such great food of pretty much every variety imaginable.

[@willhoward9865]

I visited in the ‘90’s and LOVED it. Port Coquitlam. Best breakfast ever was eggs Benedict with fresh smoked salmon. To die for!

[@KingDennisJensen]

I come from a very poor village from Serbia (moved to Canada in 1996) but we'd see all the elders going around after a rainfall to collect big bags of snails to eat and sell at the market. First time eating snail was in Canada with garlic butter. This just reminded me of that, nice video :)

[@Actual_daddy]

Next time you’re in Vancouver you’ve gotta try Long’s Noodle House for their soup dumplings at Main and 33rd, and Cloud 9 Delicacy in the Empire Mall in Richmond for beef noodle soup and “chicken nuggets”, some of the best fried chicken around!

[@FlavorofMind]

Randomly I have heard of that spot! From a friend I think... This city is really rising to the top of my list... gotta go!

[@isabelargueta8114]

Happy Lunar Yea for you and your family. Hope you have a prosperous and healthy year. The food looks amazing and delicious. I love to eat 🍜 and dumplings

[@FlavorofMind]

Agree - super delicious food throughout this episode! Mike chose a great city (and some excellent dishes) to kick off his new year. He must have good fortune coming his way 😅

[@p3ngpong]

Happy Lunar New Year Mikey! Best wishes and as always, thank you for all the videos/content!

[@trixie7759]

So glad to see you come to Vancouver!! I've been hoping you'd come here so I could find out some cool new places to eat

[@ubububu336]

After watching you first go to R&H Chinese food for the soup dumplings, I made sure to check it out & loved them! I make sure to go back every time I'm in Vancouver. Can safely say it is one of my favourite foods

[@user-cv2qe1bp2o]

wangs shanghai cuisine is a hidden gem, you should definitely go there

[@phebepang2502]

Happy Lunar Year Mikey!! I love watching your videos. And your food jokes are tops!! 💓💓

[@subhromallick2486]

Having breakfast and seeing Mikey eat is therapeutic.

[@ashleyeloff8390]

I love Mikey's videos I have a bad relationship with food for certain periods of time where I either completely don't eat and then binge eat on other times, but these videos make me excited and actually feel hungry so I can eat two slices of bread and feel full and watch the video while I eat Don't know if anyone will read this but yea

[@amyt3949]

I'm similar to friend, thanks for sharing I see you and the struggle we deal with. ✌

[@lauriepenner350]

Next time you are there, eat at Sashimi-ya. I went looking for this place that was supposed to have amazing sushi and was very surprised to find a literal convenience store. The sashimi was indeed amazing. I later learned that Sashimi-ya is run by the former sushi chef at the prestigious Fairmont Hotel, who quit his job to sell the freshest fish in Vancouver out of a space smaller than a 7-11. Get the deluxe sashimi rice bowl and eat it at the park down the street while enjoying the incredible view of the harbour and mountains.

[@canadianeskimogirl]

Welcome back to Canada Mikey! And happy Chinese New Year by the way🍲

[@Mark.Taylor.]

Holy cow you make incredible videos thank you so much 🎉😘

[@mirandamckay4407]

Putting away my wedding cake from yesterday while I'm watching Mikey Chen at 10:36 pm is the best way to end my weekend!!! Can't wait to go to Van!! You're not too far from me!! I'm in Alberta! Come check out Banff.

[@kimsmith6666]

Congratulations!!! I wish you a very long and happy lifetime together!

[@norefhesalazar719]

Nice seeing you eating these delicious noodles in Vancouver.. Hope you bring with you your beautiful GF on this beautiful noodle restaurant here in Vancouver Canada

[@MamaJunebug]

My daughters and I have been watching you lately. So awesome you came to our Vancouver!! Never heard of those restaurants so we will now check them out!!

[@annetaylor4280]

Born and raised in Vancouver. I’m so glad you enjoyed your food experience. Richmond really has some great Asian restaurants.

[@TheStrangelyDeranged]

Vancouver!!! A place I can actually visit, I'm so excited!!!

[@rhythmraccoon]

I’ve been looking forward to you doing a Vancouver video like this.

[@nnoahg9645]

Lived in Vancouver all my life and now living in Tokyo but the one thing I definitely miss about Vancouver is the food!

[@JooJoo14336]

OMG you always make noodles look even more delicious!

[@xasasin22]

Do more Vancouver videos!! You should try Wang’s Shanghai Cuisine for XLB’s, one of the best ever!!

[@alexlin7060]

Welcome to Vancouver! Hope you enjoyed your short stay!

[@bblizzlee]

Begging for some hot oil! Been watching you for years and love all your information and how you describe each dish! Keep being amazing Mikey!

[@thomasji7614]

How is Mikey in Canada, can't even fathom his locations from his videos lol. Thank you for another great video and Happy Lunar New Year!

[@terilapsey]

Yes locations! He was just in Japan. It’s confusing trying to follow his travels!

[@lauriepenner350]

I imagine he's on his way back from Japan in this video. Flights from Asia usually stop in Vancouver or Calgary. When I fly through Vancouver I like to schedule an extra-long layover so I can take the quick train ride to Richmond for some awesome eats.

[@Elurin]

@@lauriepenner350 In my opinion, Richmond has the best Chinese food in Canada, and Surrey probably the best Indian food in Canada. I have yet to find a bowl of dan dan mein to match what I had when I lived in Chengdu.

[@thomasji7614]

@@lauriepenner350 Last time I went to Vancouver was indeed a layover lol! But it was a super short one so I couldn't even think about leaving so this is good to know, thanks for the tip~

[@lauriepenner350]

@@terilapsey I thought he was going back to New York via Vancouver, but his latest video is from Hawaii. I don't even.

Marutama is my number one ramen in van. They used to have unlimited garlic flakes though now they’re charging. 😭

[@debrarobinson615]

Happy New Year!

[@robertalmiala2141]

Could u use the subtitles for slurping too?

[@Dragonstar13]

Glad to see you back in Vancouver. I've been to Uno and the dumpling places, and both are good.

[@deanawells4395]

Happy Lunar New Year 🧧 to you and yours!!! May the year bring you wealth, health and happiness daily!!

[@LemonCrush72]

Love that ramen so much! Ramen Danbo is also delicious~

[@Toritogedoki]

The xiao long bao and daily delicious bakery with croissants are two of my fav places! Glad you featured them in your video. Same as Marutama ramen. Next time if you visit again you should try the ramen with an egg!

[@xqsme_lt]

Maruhachi. No longer Marutama

[@deanawells4395]

I love hidden gem shacks…dives always have great food. I found a complete dive bar that had a small menu of completely amazing food that the bar was making on very minimal equipment. Everyday was a small minimal menu that just kept getting better day after day. Years later the word got out and now you can’t get a seat in the place for hours 😢

[@JozzieProductions]

Oh man, you were here! I am for sure going to check out your places visited. Welcome again!

[@juggaajerry]

Marutama (renamed Maruhachi) is the best, glad to see it here

[@matthewl2080]

Heey Mikey, my girlfriend and I have been watching you for so many years now!! We’ve tried so many different types of food because of you!! We can’t believe you were able to visit the Vancouver area again, we’re from the area! Another mall you need to visit the next time your around is Henderson Mall for some of the best Asian food!

[@vernolabullock5918]

Happy new year to u and your family and friends. 🙏 🐇🐰

[@karenl9601]

Born and raised and still live in Vancouver - Richmond actually where most of these restaurants are. R&H at Lansdowne has the best soup dumplings ever.

[@Jackthekittykat]

Phnom Penh in Chinatown is excellent! The butter beef, beef Luklak, and fried chicken is a MUST when visiting Vancouver. Next time you go please try!

[@TheSpyderx82]

Watching this while eating makes your food taste better!

[@ArrinWood]

Next time you roll through Vancouver, you should check out Ramen Gojiro on Dunsmuir St. It's very tasty and I think you'll love it!

[@avatarstaterm7350]

I have a trip planned up there in a few weeks. i will need to try these out.

[@Kraziiboi]

Its so weird to see Mike going to eat ion places i been to since i live in vancouver. Its cool to know I've tried some places that he's given high praise

[@viviansytsui]

I live here and you made some fantastic restaurant stops! They used to be called Marutama and it's now Maruhachi. Regardless, it is still some of the best paitan ramen I've ever had! I'm so glad they've slowly expanded to more locations now. :)

[@FlavorofMind]

Envious of the food options you must have! 🙂

[@viviansytsui]

@@FlavorofMind Thank you, I am well aware how lucky we are to have so many authentic and tasty food places here. Come visit when you have the chance!

Question about Athletic greens: do they ship international? I’ve been thinking about getting it but I live in Japan and am way about shopping prices

[@fringeminority6238]

Seriously you NEED to try Happy Noodle House in Vancouver!!

[@AustinChen88]

Try Pho 37 (Get Tuan's special) and Bun Cha Ca Hoang Yen (Get their fish cake noodle soup)!

[@JasonWong-gx1ec]

Thanks for the great reccomendation mikey!! Solo travelling for the first time and was very worth it. Personal takes: tried the chicken ramen would say 8/10 wish i got the thick noodle but would give 10/10 for the egg and chashu. At the lansdowne food court got the regular dumplings instead 9/10 great filling, i got the hk milk tea that is a few stores next to the dumplings and that one is a must try very strong 10/10. Had the beef tendon soup today personally 8/10, you had my expectations so high LOL... the soup was great but not THAT heavenly the way you described it but the beef tendon was 10/10 for sure, also didnt think it was amazing because i wasnt given a large portion i think i only had 4 pieces of beef.Thanks again for the reccs! super fun to follow your foot steps acc in person from watching the videos lmaoo!!

[@faymeowsiumo]

Happy rabbit year. I Love all kind of moodles! I feel so hungry now.

[@Trujemma99]

Next time you're in Vancouver there's an amazing thai place in guildford, Sabai Thai, gotta try their lettuce wraps, royal pad thai and sour soup. Also when in Rome there's a good sea food and beef pho around the corner called Pho Tau Bay. Loool also while in guildford the best sushi is Hanako. Then the best sushi in BC is KOKO on Hastings just past Playland 💙 would love to see you try these places 🙏

[@leolin6703]

Hi, a lot of these restaurants, and the majority of Chinese restaurants are in Richmond which is 30 min away drive from downtown Vancouver.

[@Elurin]

@@leolin6703 There is the Skytrain which goes into Richmond and has a stop at Landsdowne Mall. I live in Surrey which is roughly 1/2 hour east of Vancouver and I usually take the skytrain to downtown Vancouver or Richmond, since I hate driving in Vancouver.

[@christylh]

Hey Mikey! I love your vids and have been a big fan for a while. I wanted to send you a suggestion, I hope you don't mind the critique. The lighting you use on the close up of food/dishes is a bit too harsh. It looks great when the cam is on you, but not on close up of the cuisine. I could suggest some really good softening equipment if you're interested. :)
