Mike Chen rating system: Immediately starts shaking his head no = delicious Slowly chews and nods yes slowly = it's alright

[@gregbrooks7233]

I agree, the view is breathtaking! Seems like the food is a little gimmicky rather than being exquisitely prepared.

[@clintonleonard5187]

Yeah, gold leaf + wagyu + truffle is basically the meme food trifecta. How to make something expensive without putting any thought into it.

[@kuhnhan]

@@clintonleonard5187 Wagyu and truffle, I can understand, both of those ingredients are tasty. The gold leaf just seems like wasteful extravagance, and as Mikey stated, adding nothing to it.

[@Mropop]

@@clintonleonard5187 how is wagyu even in the same list as gold leaf… its literally delicious and the price is justified as the quality of the food is ridiculously high

[@clintonleonard5187]

@@Mropop I would probably say it's more like truffles. Actually tastes delicious, but the price is a meme, and that makes the food a meme.

[@Mropop]

@@clintonleonard5187 truffles is more of a scent than anything, you wouldnt eat a truffle alone, its like a pleasant aroma but the price is not justified. But wagyu is a elite cut of steak, it is literally the nicest tasting steak out there and the price is definitely justified

[@cookie-bk7wj]

Thought the burger presentation was a little underwhelming, bun looked a bit messy and the lettuce was pretty sad, I am sure it tasted good, but for the price you would expect a bit of eye candy. However another great video from the legendary Mikey Chen that forced me to engage an Uber delivery.

[@monsterthrash]

Gold is flavourless. It literally tastes like nothing. It’s a great way for “high end” restaurants to rip people off.

[@AT-jm4dl]

That was a lot of food he ate for breaskfast: 3 large dishes + dessert. I wouldn't be able to do anything afterward. Those gold burger patties look so unappetizing, LOL. The windows are unfortunately dirty. Can you imagine cleaning the outside windows at that height?

[@TheworldiseffdUP]

You would think that they would have automatic window wash valves built in with how expensive the building is.

[@mikeus69]

[@Salmagros]

Love the view, the seafood dish look nice. BUT I completely despite that freaking GOLD on FOOD. If I order an expensive dish, I expect that to be an example of the best ingredients, best preparation etc. Not just piling arbitrary amounts of precious metals on top of it.

[@TsunamiWombat]

gold leaf/dust on food is a huge meme, kind of irks me. Spend that money on higher quality ingredients, on well paid and skilled staff, on unique and specialized methodology or equipment. Not gilding

[@tanyakynoch8542]

Oh my .. the food looks phenomenal but tbh ... can't really see the sense of gold leaf on food but I'm sure it must've been an incredible experience 🥰

[@masm7642]

yea the gold leaf is just a "fuck you money" no reason to get it other than to show off your money but the burger did look freaking amazing

Guess he still does that in the 2nd channel.

[@laxmansaravanakumar8480]

[@Birdbike719]

Imagine being able to afford Waygu...and you get a burger?

[@ericktjhin1749]

The concept of a wagyu burger just doesn't make sense to me. You get the best cut of exquisite delicate meat...and mince it up into a patty?

[@netherfield2000]

Honestly, I was thinking that every dish Mikey was served equaled a car payment for me. Not including the Gold Burger. That’s probably a down payment on a house.

[@Drifter6942]

You have some expensive taste in cars for payments like that lol

[@lawrencewon3805]

Damn the burger looked overcooked and the bread was weak....that lettuce looked sad also lol.....Lobster looked tough and chewy, the best part was the view!!! Thanks for the review, won't be going there!

[@elijahguash7585]

I enjoyed the video and everything don’t get me wrong but should stick to local restaurants or even hidden gems or even 711 cause tbh not everyone can go to Dubai are all the other fancy places you recently been. Can’t really be like “if you’re in Dubai you should check it out” like no lol it’s expensive and not everyone can afford an $80 burger or $50 per person for entry.

[@clintmadman9711]

They couldn't even toast the bun how sad

[@stephenweng8052]

Maybe you should be trying out the local Emirati cuisine rather than stuff you can get in the States?

[@VasundharaKanjilalROCKS]

Ikr?!

[@clintonleonard5187]

Maybe he doesn't want to? It's his channel.

[@charzi_5357]

Why so passive aggressive? Plus he doesn’t have to, it’s his channel

[@mchakrabarti]

Or maybe you should follow more Mikey content? He has videos on local Dubai food on his vlog channel-it’s linked in his video. He’s doing videos for all sorts of people, tourists, travelers, well known places etc - so maybe look at his content before criticizing?

[@chichomx623]

[@laxmansaravanakumar8480]

[@cee_el]

Gotta say .. the gold burger did not look appetizing lol

[@Miss_Enchanted]

Just out of curiosity, but why haven't you visited any Middle Eastern food establishments or eaten any Arab food so far? The local food in Dubai is incredible and it's a little disappointing that you've been eating nothing but fast food, dim sum, and Western food...maybe it's just me but one of the best things about travelling to a new place is getting to indulge in the local cuisine and learning about its history.

[@Deira854]

Because every food blogger has done that. He is doing all the other cuisines in Dubai which are amazing

[@VasundharaKanjilalROCKS]

Ikr? Mike loves local food. I hope he does it

[@milkonbean]

Let's not jump to conclusions, I imagine there are a couple more videos, he also wasn't there for long I believe

[@cindyrellaaaaa]
