[@emmacandland9755]

Your mom is the cutest EVER!! I love how she talks about food!!

[@FoodandFootprints]

“Now you feed Mama” - mother/daughter bonding moment 🤣

[@feedmeimei]

LOL she's getting demanding now 😂😂😂

[@nmelgar74]

That was my favorite part of the video lol

[@nmelgar74]

I love your mama! You gotta remember to feed her lol

[@camebackcat1487]

You two have excellent screen presence, especially mom! I've lived here for almost 30 years and am a cheap eats expert in SF. You have a very good list. Great work. I like to be critical because it's fun. No notes here, just do your thing, you're perfect!

[@MrShannonjames]

Hi! 30 years of experience in would hope you have something to add to this video....?

[@tulipiscute]

my favorite part of this video is your mom consistently putting extra spicey stuff on literally everything

[@TheHangryMole]

wow mom can take that volcano spicy like a champ😋great upload 👌

[@feedmeimei]

Hahah she's not phased by spicy stuff 😂 Thanks for watching :)

[@shukri2833]

I'm moving to SF soon and have been loving your videos! Your Mom is great at describing the meals. I hope to see more of her!

[@nickandhelmi]

Under $10 is gold mine 😊🙏

[@feedmeimei]

Especially in SF!!

[@eddiensw]

Really good mother-daughter combination presenting legit content, thanks!

[@87coconuts]

Omg I just came across your page! I am an SF native! I love how you went to a variety of places! A great place to go and get a bunch for under $10 is a place called Fancy Wheat Bakery! Also a pizza shop called crossroads on Franklin and page, they had great specials! So glad I came across this page and omg your mom is the cutest!!!

[@LynettaaShay]

Your moms smile is so contagious! ☺️

[@MikeLimTravel]

Enjoyed your video! I was born and raised in SF but live in Oakland now. Nothing beats the food in SF.

[@saltysnacks33]

Your Mom is an angel

[@kmackblack]

I love when your mom is in the videos!!! She is so great!

[@leoinsf]

Great Mom! Wonderful daughter! Great choices! Perfect dialogue about the restaurants! Very pertinent dialogue!

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey meimei and Mama meimei!! This is great that you showed us the top 10 Best Cheap eats in San Fran!! Great that they were all under $10. The first bakery you went to, with the breakfast dim sum, looked so bomb.. especially the shrimp dumplings. That BBQ pork and roast duck plate looked like a great amount for the money as well. Like your mom said.. could have fed 3 people easy! That fried chicken sandwich looked so good, and love the name of the restaurant as well "The Bird". Bahn Mi sandwiches are always affordable and tasty! That volcano curry house looked so good with all the Japanese curry and rice! Awesome that you even went to Filipino spot! We can't believe how big that quesadilla was for the price! The last stop for Poke salmon looked awesome for $6.50! Great video and much love!

[@feedmeimei]

If you two are ever in SF you will have to hit up some of these spots! We'll take you ❤️ Hehe thanks for watching!!

[@bearsandbutters]

@@feedmeimei If we are ever in the SF area.. we would love to meet up with you!! Let us know if you're in LA again!!

[@maddykrantz]

DON'T CALL US SAN FRAN. Either use San Francisco or SF. Anything else is considered rude and offensive to any local or Bay Area resident in general. Also, if you hear people call us "the city" , then they are most likely from the bay area, but you can say that if you want.

[@Syl0008]

Love the way your mom describes the food! 😂😂 Chinglish 👌🏻👌🏻

[@feedmeimei]

Haha she's really good at describing! A true natural :)

[@Syl0008]

@@feedmeimei She truly is! 😁

[@valeriewong7525]

Loved all your picks! We used to live in the bay and Taqueria El Farolito’s super quesadilla is so nostalgic for us!! Love your mom as always!! 🥰

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

This is quite the challenge in San Francisco. Ooh, we just tried that turnip cake. That shrimp dumpling looks amazing. The 2 meat plate is a dream though. Really like that you're showing us some of the city. You can tell that both of those sandwiches are tasty.

[@itsmaica]

Aww I love the adventures with mom. Super cute!!! Dying to try the dim now!

[@arte2713]

“Feeds three people” I’ll finish all of it in a heart beat 😂 forget sharing

[@johntom9406]

Me too! Hey, I weigh about 210 lbs! I need to eat in order to keep my strength up!

[@nickandhelmi]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 cheap meimei day out 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@feedmeimei]

Hehe yessss meimei is cheapppp

[@JaniceFung]

i always thought san fran was so exxy but im impressed these cheap eats are actually decent size portions!

[@feedmeimei]

SF is SUPER expensive 😂😂😂 but luckily if you look hard enough you can find cheap gems like these!

[@PeterandYen]

Damn you guys went hard on this episode! 10 spots some of those portions were insane "feed 3 people" 😂 the dim sum and bbq meats looked excellent value. But I think that poke would be the top pick 😍🐟❤

[@feedmeimei]

Omg yes I was so tired after this 😂 We did all 10 in about 7 hours! Hahaha my mom kept saying the first 2 plates could feed 3 people 😂😂😂

[@JS_Speaks]

“You feed Mama” we love Mama!! Great job ladies.

[@nickandhelmi]

NOW YOU FEED MAMA 😂

[@feedmeimei]

LOL she's getting demanding now 😂

[@FoodandFootprints]

Nick and Helmi That had me dying 🤣

[@ninjaundermyskin]

Thank you for introducing these places! I work nearby and have never heard of some of those restaurants in FiDi. Also, Murracci's and Shanghai Dumpling King deserve to be on the list! Oh, Asian box too!

[@rygregory]

My favorite Silog is with the Tocino (instead of spam) or Tocilog. Next time take your Rosamunde to Dolores park. For Volcano, their curry is even better with all their topping options. Some cheap eat to try next time: - Mr Banh Mi - Dry Fried Chicken Wings at San Tung - Marugame Udon at Stonestown - The Italian Homemade Company - Fish Tacos at Hook Fish - Tea Leaf Salad at Burma Superstar

[@PuriandSue]

Ooo yeaaah banh mi, so affordable, so good!!

[@feedmeimei]

Rightt??? Always such a great affordable option 😋

[@mackenziem2174]

I would love to see another version of this video, but with all vegetarian places!! 😁

[@TheHungryBlackPanda]

Your mom is getting super pro at this!!! She is evolving!!

[@feedmeimei]

HAHAHA I read this comment to my mom and we were cracking up 😂😂😂

[@JMsFunActivities]

WHAT!!! Wait WHAT!!! That pork and duck’s just $8.80?!!! WOW! That’s a HUGE plate. The curry, quesadilla & sausage looks good too! Oh wow you went to tselog! I heard of that Filipino restaurant before, nice Didn’t expect that Basa will have that price with the generous portion.. WOW! They are alllll yumMEI!!!

[@feedmeimei]

YES!!! That was my favorite of the whole video! Haha yes they are all so good! Definitely YumMei :)

[@JMsFunActivities]

feed meimei - food and travel videos aww hehehe love it. Btw Mei! You should already apply for monetization. I’m 110% sure you’ll get approved instantly. Your contents are all worth watching for. Sometimes even if you haven’t reach the required hours YT still approves it if they think your channel is doing really well when they review your analytics. I have so many friends that got approved even though they haven’t reach the 4400hours. But of course it’s just a suggestion and it’s not 100 percent guaranteed. I’m just so excited for you☺️ As for me, I haven’t thought of it because my wife and I are always busy at work and just don’t have that much time on YT yet. I’m having trouble managing our time. But hopefully next year I hope it will get better. Love you Ohana! Good luck with everything dear and even if they say they cannot approved you yet, I’m pretty sure it won’t take long until they say your finally going to get monetized.

[@feedmeimei]

@@JMsFunActivities Thanks for the heads up!!! I actually JUST reached 4000 watch hours, so I'll be applying soon! Wishing you guys the best for your channel as well :)

[@JMsFunActivities]

feed meimei - food and travel videos yayyyyy! Can’t wait Ohana! I’ll be viewing your Ads in full all the time 🤗😘😘😘

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ahhh so SF is known for everything expensive yeah? Great job on discovering those cheap eats 👍🏻 Yummm now we want the garlic fried rice with spam and egg too for lunch too 🤤🤤 simple ingredients but must be so delicious 😋

[@feedmeimei]

Yeah SF is like the most expensive city in the US or something crazy like that! Hahah these are definitely some gems under $10 :)

[@maximumeffort4202]

In San Francisco as I type this, confused of where to eat good and save money because so many places are $$$. Your video is so enlightening!!! Thank you!

[@HangingWithFan]

Omg great share! I’m going to SF next week! Def. trying the roast duck place, the Mexican place and the Poke place 😍 you and your mom are so cute!

[@feedmeimei]

Omg have fun!!! I have a few other SF videos in case you wanna check them out :) BUT YES you must go to kam po kitchen especially!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yasss cheap eats video! Our favourite type of video ever hahahaha 💵 💵 💵 Gimme that chinese pork & duck on rice please, seriously it can feed more than 3 ppl haha Love watching you & your mom feeding each other as always haha 💕

[@feedmeimei]

LOL cheap eats are the best! Heheh that was my favorite spot!

[@pixiegrrl69]

"Rough around the edges"??? It's the HOOD!!!!😃😁😄😅😆 This was cool !!! The dim sum place is good but the line does get crazy as the morning progresses👏👏👏👏

[@feedmeimei]

Hahah 😂😂😂 Yessss we were lucky that we went early before the line! I've definitely seen how it gets when it's crowded!

[@FoodandFootprints]

That banh mi looks great - really nice balance of filling vs bread and lots of pate

[@feedmeimei]

SOOO good! Fresh veggies, soft yet crunchy roll, and filled with meat! AND ONLY $5!

[@jgshi]

Thanks for the great suggestions! Just subbed, keep up the great work. For Cantonese BBQ, I can suggest Ming Kee in Ingleside, SF. The BBQ pork (neck) and roast duck are comparable in quality to the delis in HK.

[@feedmeimei]

So glad you liked the video & thanks so much! Ahh I will definitely need to try Ming Kee. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@arcie3716]

Everything I want for breakfast 😭💗

[@sfsaechao916]

the banh mi sandwich looks good.

[@feedmeimei]

It was amazing! One of the best banh mi's I've had forsure!

[@sfsaechao916]

i will have to tour frisco when im in town

[@reginacusrex]

Your mom's the best! You guys are so cute together. I love King of Noodles; the dumplings they serve from Yummy Dumplings are delicious. I think you should do a video on the best har gao places in the city (not just Chinatown). I've been all around the city trying to find the best har gao, and so far I think Good Luck Dim Sum on Clement is the winner.

[@123teddyandme]

this is my new fav youtuber page

[@FoodandFootprints]

Cantonese BBQ is always a great choice for cheap eats videos. Made me think of Wah Fung No 1 here in NYC

[@feedmeimei]

YES!! It is like Wah Fung! But definitely bigger portions...and dare I say....even better? 😅

[@robertonarvaez7848]

I love your recommendations. For cheap eats I recommend the crab stands at fisherman's wharf and Tommys Joynt.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

We'd love another video of EVEN CHEAPER eats! is it possible to fix the limit even lower than $10 😉

[@feedmeimei]

Haha omg...idk if you can find such a thing in SF 😂

[@vscrolls]

now do the top 10 expensive places to eat.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

that's a challenge!!

[@feedmeimei]

Hahah if you fund it I'll do it 😂😂😂

[@richardrice89]

Top Ten Too Expensive? In other words, almost every other eatery in SF. Good job, btw.

[@ashleyo413]

I love both of your commentary, you honestly describe the food. I love it

[@KevinG5309]

how do you not have more views. Great video with some great spots some I've tried from people that have recommended from living in sf. Great quality and you mom makes it so sweet and funny to watch.

[@feedmeimei]

Aw thank you so much!! So glad you liked the video! Appreciate you! 😊

[@nickandhelmi]

[@PuriandSue]

Awwwh that fried sandwich looks so delicious!!!

[@feedmeimei]

It was so good! Perfect cheap lunch 😋

[@vlogbyday]

Good to know! I'll be Vlogging this summer there, gotta check some of these out! Yum

[@maddykrantz]

Please go to Papolote and Arizmendi while you visit SF. Also, a good tip for traveling here is 1. Only call us by our FULL name or SF.. People get really offended when people say S-A-N-F-R-A-N and S-I-S-C-O- and F-R-I-S-C-O. Also, we don't like the term "City by the bay", cause the whole bay area is by the bay so it doesn't really benefit anyone.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

wow! started off pretty nice! all that plate for just $10!! good!

[@feedmeimei]

Yessss the value is off the charts!

[@TheRecipeJournal]

Dumplings and curry chicken looks so good! Can't believe all this food it's so cheap and still you get huge portions :) Awesome video guys :)

[@feedmeimei]

Hahah yes it's rare to find cheap eats in SF! Thank you :)))

[@nickandhelmi]

When Asian goes cheap - hell’s about to break loose 👻

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

😂😂😂

[@FoodandFootprints]

Nick and Helmi Ahahaha

[@feedmeimei]

LOL the $8.80 plate tho!! best value!

[@PogiboyProductions]

Oooh good finds.. I'm all about the dumplings! Fried chicken sandwich for under $10.. the glazed pork! Volcano curry LOL.. that sounds spicy.. looks good with the rice and chicken!
