Hey guys it’s Mike Chen here in melbour Australia about to head to the local Chinatown for breakfast lunch and dinner very excited about that and before we get to this video about some of the best value for money buffets I found in Tokyo just want to give a big thank you and

Shout out to the sponsor of this video surf shark VPN I’ve been talking about and using surf Shar VPN for a number of years now and if you are currently not utilizing a VPN service I highly recommend that you do and surf Shar VPN is probably one of the only apps I keep

Running on my phone my laptop 24 hours a day and the reason I do that is because of course nowadays so much of our personal information is online and there’s people trying to gain access to that all the time sometimes as data aggregators trying to obtain your personal information to sell to

Marketing companies or there’s more malicious people who’s trying to get access to something like your email I’m sure we’ve all had this happen where you might be messaging or texting or talking to friends or family about something and all of a sudden advertisement for whatever you’re talking about or

Whatever is related to what you’re talking about just start appearing everywhere and that is just one example of people gaining access to your personal information so what surfar VPN does is that it encrypts and secures your personal information before it goes over the Internet so people who you

Really don’t want having access to your private info they’re not going to have access to it also if someone is trying to gain access to something like your email surf shark has something called surf shark alerts so you will be notified right away that’s why I keep

Running all the time it’s super fast it just runs in the background I don’t even notice it and I get peace of mind for less than a cup of coffee a day also is so useful when you’re traveling especially when you’re traveling abroad for example the movies and TV shows on

Netflix is always different wherever you go in the world so if you don’t want to miss out on your favorite TV shows or movies what I do is I use search VPN to change my location to the us so I don’t miss out my favorite TV shows another

Reason it’s so helpful is that when you’re trying to gain access to certain us websites for example even major Banks major corporation a lot of times these websites do not function correctly when you’re trying to get access to your account from overseas so just to pay my

Bills I use search VPN for that so if you want to give it a try go to my link down below use my promo code Dum playay and you’ll get additional 3 months for free all right I’m going to head to Chinatown and um enjoy the Video Hey guys it’s is Mike chin here in Tokyo Japan Tokyo is of course a city renowned for his vibrant food sinks from Michelin star restaurants to street food stalls to the local 7-Eleven and today we’re going to go visit some food spots that’s not only mouthwatering it’s also going

To be wallet friendly and it’s going to be all you can eat first off I am here here in shimbashi this is a great area for food and I see that there’s a lot of Chinese food restaurant around here and the place we’re going to I think is this one right

Here I think it’s that nope I passed it this is it right here so go around the corner and that’s how you get there this restaurant is really interesting there a couple cabbage sitting outside oh okaki place and here it is all you can eat Chinese buffet for 1,000 yen so about6 50 they just open and already Aligned even before taking a bite I think I love this place a lot of classic Citron dishes like mapa tofu double cooked pork there’s spicy beef and peppers spicy dry tofu there’s a MTO there’s also Pig trods low men fried rice soups all you can eat for about six

Bucks let’s try them off with tofu first spicy yummy very rich you taste the delicious fermented beans that is not a bad mpu I haven’t had a flower roll in so long take thish dunk it into the M PO vad is really good very soft and fluffy that’s a

Pretty authentic tasting flower roll double cooked pork this thing’s better than the map tofu giant chunks of pork some pieces are nice fatty it’s very spicy and peppery sweet and sour shrimp not bad W this I really really like these are basically stir fried slices of potato these things are deep fried first

So they got a really nice and crunchy outer shell and then the stir fry like you would do like a cumin beef or cumin l so you see all the cumin is on the outside it’s crunchy is very cumin and Smokey I’m just tasting every single

Dish and see what I’m going to go for more later the mo man is phenomenal just a heaping serving of flavor and gu that is smack you in the face good another are one of my favorite dishes shredded beef with peppers that they serve

Here not a lot of beef in there beef is expensive that one’s just okay too skin is so good too the dishes that are supposed to be spicy they do not skimp on the heat you do have soup here the soup is very light little tofu little seaweed and the tea is

Included oh to wa forgot I got a piece of fried chicken not those thing really tender Grace Pig TRS I have often talked about my love for pig TRS and this thing in particular so much great flavor and texture as I’m sitting here talking and eating my food

All I want to do is go up there and get more low May and double cooked pork or and those potatoes I think those three things my favorite thing on this Buffet all those it’s just Absolute Comfort fuit for me six bucks for all you can eat Comfort

Fuit this is a tremendous deal all right round two I got more Ling tofu stir-fried potatoes double cooked pork can’t believe all those cost less than a Big Mac and finish everything off with some almond pudding and it’s all locals here too what a gem of a buffet good morning next Buffet I’m

Going to is the buffet at the hotel I’m staying at daa royet hotel this is a very typical breakfast buffet at a small inexpensive Hotel here in Japan you got some Western breakfast items like toast cereal salad a little bit of pastries there’s scramble eggs there’s ham what I really like are the

Japanese breakfast items so for me I come down here early in the morning there’s macro so some fish some CER rice some scramble eggs that’s a pretty good breakfast for me Fish and curer Rice that’s good wherever you go what I’ve been eating a lot last couple days is their meat and

Potatoes that’s my favorite thing here what I do is put the potatoes into the curry actually grab a spoon scrambled eggs in Japan are Next Level stuff they’re usually really really gooy like the one here it’s so good and this breakfast at today’s conversion is about $6 us if you stay at

This hotel which it’s a nice and clean Hotel the room’s a little small it’s only about $60 a night and you get a pretty decent breakfast with it can eat up go work out a long food day ahead of me The next Buffet I’m at is inside the apaa hotel in Shinjuku it’s not a huge Buffet but it’s not most of the classics round one I got some Cy rice I got a cette it looks like a fried bun I think there’s Korean fried chicken hurg steak

Miso meat sauce which I think I should have put that over rice and pasta I love curry rice I know they probably didn’t make this curry in house but Japanese Curry is one of my favorite things in the world I don’t think I’ve

Had a bad bite of it it is Smokey it is spiced up it’s got some stealy chilies in there just felt it in my throat super rich and thick a little tomato we Chase it with a CET that is a beautiful crunch inside nice and pillowy actually this is fish KATU not

Pork every single fried item such a nice crunch I’m so dumb I saw the machine said IC cocoa for some reason my head I thought it meant Coca-Cola it’s chocolate I mean it’s delicious ice hot chocolate oh that hamburger steak is so good really tender and juicy who chase

It with some of the pasta f is not bad tastes like a high school cafeteria fried dumpling not bad skin is really thin on the bottom a little thicker on the top you put a ginormous meat filling in this dumpling that into my miso meat sauce cuz why

Not oh miso me sauce so good I think that over rise is going to be spectacular all right round two So this place you can also order wudong and what they do is they cook the wudong for you you can make it one of three different ways one is with curry so you can go and add the curry to the wudong or you put the Miso meat sauce in the

Wudong which is what I’m doing right now or you can get a traditional wood broth that’s made with Dashi I think the Mis meat option looks amazing M that’s really really good Udo beautifully cooked wonderful chewy texture miso of course love the flavor of the Miso if you want the option with

The most intense flavor and will Mommy this is the way to go and there’s a good amount of meat and heat in here I think the main thing is they cook the noodles really well I also got a wood soup was pretty good buo still maintains a nice

Chew the soup very light but nice flavor from the Dashi so it just depends on how you’re feeling I think this tastes even lighter to me now just because I had the Mis so don’t right before this but this is a really good option for Breakfast around round three this might be the ultimate hack here I don’t know some curry rice with the meat miso inside also they have on eggs yep it’s an awesome egg mix it with the rice and the curry and the meat miso best of all the world the heat from

The curry the mommy and meatus from the Miso and all that richness is just dramatically enhanced by the creamy on some egg oh this egg dish is really interesting it’s a potato croquet soaked in gooey eggs and scallion and onions that’s really nice also Fried Chicken is really good on the

Buffet do this again just not a huge Buffet but a lot of traditional Japanese food items and for about $8 a very very satisfying brunch Favorite Things Udo with the Miso sauce rice with the curry and the Miso sauce the Onsen egg is amazing the hurg steak excellent awesome

You got to check this out I’ve never seen this before they have ice cream and I thought you would just open it from the top but you don’t check this out you open it from the bottom just start right there and then you push from the top I mean it takes some

Effort this tastes like soft Sy from a machine this is probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had out of buffet that did not come from a machine this came from a freezer does not taste it at all soft milky machai I just made a mistake

I never claimed I’m smart I was thinking like why is getting ice cream out of this container so difficult I’m stupid follow me open the bottom then there’s this machine open it up place the ice cream inside take a cup put it here push the Button take your ice cream take this out throw it away and this is why I’m dumb going to eat my ice cream now dinner time this place is not a buffet but I really want to give it a try so it’s a fried sandwich shop and the price for

The sandwiches are as low as 100 yen per sandwich so about 67 cents can give me a sandwich at the shop I got four sandwiches the 60 Cent sandwich I’m going to start with the hot sandwiches every single sandwich is freshly fried and then stuffed with all sorts of

Different ingredients and here I got an egg salad you got to get an egg salad sandwich whenever you see one here in Tokyo here in Japan and the sandwich is fried to a Golden Crisp this is a hefty Hefty sandwich it’s definitely oily cuz this thing this is

Deep fried bread so all the oils is trapped in here but the texture is so much better than a regular egg sandwich because obviously crispy toasty bread it’s just better the egg salad is so good the outside it’s just a wonderful crunch especially when you go near the

Crust inside creamy rich Rich yoky egg salad and this sandwich $450 Yen so about $3 yeah that’s a really good deal for the sandwich I was actually just going to get three sandwiches but he said I had to try the curry sandwich he said this is his best one and it’s piping

Hot W this is freaking Next Level these sandwiches are just over stuffed with filling it’s just a load of Curry kind of looks like the size of a of a Texas toast split open m this Curry is delicious it’s spicy it’s meaty I think there’s some potatoes in here with some toasty cheese

On top so the curry itself is already amazing with that crunchy fried toast gives it a nice crunch with every single bite you can have a louder crunch from the edges where solo crunch in the middle there is no bad bite in the sandwich I might just like this Curry one

Better I’m so happy recommended this 10 out of 10 next two deep fried dessert sandwiches this is the 100 yen sandwich deep fried sandwich with homemade whipped cream so the first one’s 100 yen which is about 60 and then the second one is 300 Yen this

Is so bad because it’s so good this is some simply Simply Delicious stuff and only for 100 yen if I lived in Tokyo I just might be getting this every single day I mean 60 cents for this this thing tastes like it was made in Heaven by a diabolical

Angel oh my gosh the problem with this is the whipped cream somehow tones down the greasiness of the sandwich it doesn’t taste as oily as the egg salad or the curry feels like this is pretty light cream sweet very milky that’s the thing about Japanese milk products it’s

Extremely extremely rich but at the same time tastes very milky and delicious and I can’t really compare this to anything else I’ve had because I don’t think I’ve had anything like this before I got Walmart sandwich to go this is another sweet sandwich matcha whipped cream with matcha powder on top with chocolate

Truffles on top of that it’s really good you get that rich matcha cream that has a little bit of bitterness and then all of a sudden as you’re chewing the chocolate truffle starts to melt you’re getting all sorts of different meltin here oh that bite I’ve bit into more of the matcha powder

Brings a lot of bitterness but it’s the good kind of bitterness The Fragrant delicious tea that balance out the sweetness and richness of the sandwich it’s really good I still think that simp Le whipped cream one that’s the best one I think the best everying one is the

Curry although theegg salad I love so much this is a gem of a place really good price points on some delicious sandwiches if you are in Tokyo try out the whipped cream you’ll know what I’m talking About next Buffet on the list moku shimbashi this place looks like has a lot of Character So this lunch buffet is pretty interesting there’s a 40 minute time limit and they give you a ticket and you exchange the ticket for their daily main dish and today I think it’s potato coret which they cook up fresh for you then you get unlimited salad bar drinks and

Of course Cur rice which I’m eating with some pickled vegetables I’m starting to see this trend that every single Buffet has to have a curry rice this one’s pretty good though really thick and meum and I like the pickle vegetables they give you goes really well with the curry this looks

Like a delicious crcket freshly fried and they said it’s a beer cret okay it is piping hot sitting on a layer of marinara wow this is a very delicious cret really crunchy outer shell wonderfully soft and pillowy inside little sweet inside I think this goes really well with some of the

Pickled veggies that’s on the buffet so this place is 1,000 yen around $6 us basically you’re you’re paying for whatever main dish of the day is which is made to order piping hot delicious curry rice is actually very very good here you don’t see a lot of curry rice

With meat and this thing spices will light you up there’s a 40-minute time limit overall for 1,000 yen total and that includes service charg tax everything it’s a pretty good Deal this is a really cool Buffet this is kind of similar to the Chinese buffet I was at yesterday it’s a another Chinese buffet that has their own selection of dishes and there’s a couple thish here I’m really excited about one is hand torn cabbage this is like a

Spicy stir Fred cabbage dish also fuzu which is like a tofu skin salad the fried rice looks good the Fried Chicken looks good there’s this uh sweet and sour I think this is chicken or pork here they have dumplings mopa tofu and they have a full drink bar so you get

Sodas teas coffee whatever it’s around $7 and the most exciting thing is that with your Buffet order you get two freshly made soup DX M oh the little is really good crunchy and Saucy in torn cabbage little overcooked flavor is nice oh that cabbage is really really spicy I

Really really like this Lotus root delicious and really Saucy too so this is pretty good moku I’m going to mix some on my rice in the sauce I think is spicier than the last Buffet it’s got a more of a fermented Bean flavor which I love yeah that’s really

Nice Fried Chicken is a little tough but the sweet and sour chicken m in this gooey sauce that’s awesome sweet and vinegary soup dumpling has right they look pretty good actually add a little Chinese vinegar tiny bit of soy sauce dunk the soup dumpling inside M that’s a pretty pretty soupy

Juicy little dumpling and the top cut of resembles M Fuji that is a solid solid delicious very soupy Dum Bling very Porky the skin is not too thick pretty good size feeling I think overall when it comes to the dishes I still like the L Chinese buffet a little more but here you do get a full drink bar and get sodas tea coffee whatever you want the free soup dumpling is a

Nice touch especially when they’re really good freshly made freshly steamed soup dumplings and they got some really nice dishes too I mean I was kind of disappointed about the hand torn cabbage but the mofu is good the sweet and sour chicken and potatoes is good I mean for

$67 I don’t think you go wrong with any place I think the bottom line is these Chinese buffets here in Tokyo are such a great delicious deal all right got to eat my soup dumplings before they get cold Oh the rain is really coming down today one more all you can you please I want to check out and this place is on the fourth floor I think this is it this place has a special deal where you can get all you can eat ODed basically different fish cake and

Vegetables cooked in dashi broth and you can get it as much as you want for 500 yen so a little over $3 us all you have to do is get one drink and it could be any drink soda tea alcohol anything that’s a fantastic deal it’s really cool

They come over with a fladder of Chopstick holders and you can pick your own Chopstick holder got a little Lotus flour and then scan the QR code order the drink wow there’s one drink that is very peculiar if you ever come here you’ll see what I mean actually couple

Drinks that’s very peculiar one of them is cold boiled rice Odin just got here inside there’s kjck jelly a ginormous biggest I’ve ever seen in the world show my half a potato and of course fish cakes light but very flavorful Dashi kjck some of my favorite stuff the Dashi definitely cooked into

All the ingredients in here but it is very light if you want some additional flavors there’s mustard and chilies I think for my Shai I love little chilies add a little spicy mustard oh that’s pretty D good that is a meaty meaty sh same thing with the

Potatoes add a little bit of chilies and these are really spicy chilies fish cake fish cake really soft very good with some spicy mustard got my second bowl this is a tube shaped fish cake this is one of my favorite ones I think this the best thing here I’m so

Sad they didn’t have the egg egg is always my favorite ingredient probably the best SE in the house is just around the Odin station you just sit around and point to the pieces you want Odin is probably one of the best Japanese Comfort Foods out there and it’s just

Perfect when it’s cold out and right now it’s chilly it’s raining I feel my whole body heating up and this dish is so versatile there’s so many different ingredients and depending on which province you’re in overall this is a very Lively fun place the staff’s really

Really nice so if you ever do come here don’t feel intimidated that you don’t speak the language and when I got here it was completely full oldin is good the dashi’s on the lighter side but just dip it in some spicy mustard for $3 this is an absolute amazing deal and that wraps

Up another food tour here in Tokyo went to a lot of places I never knew existed and as always all the places are listed down below for you guys thank you all so much for watching until we eat again see you later

  1. $6.50 for a restaurant buffet and comes with tea??? A full meal at fast food chains(McDonalds, BK, KFC….etc)cost way more then $6.50. A bag of potato chips at a grocery store cost almost $6.50. Prices here in the states has gotten way out of hand.

  2. Mikey with the ice cream container…I don't need a machine. I AM the machine 😂 At least he admitted to his error. I love how he always speaks at a courteous volume so those around him can enjoy their experience! This was a fun compilation 🥰

  3. Your down to earth way of description is sort of like Hemingway. So does this make a culinary Hemingway for our generation? If so, cool. Thank you, Mike✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂

  4. OMG it's 5am here and I'm seeing those amazing fried sandwiches and I'm crying 😭🤣🤣 I so want them! And I'm just drinking iced coffee now 😢

  5. Ok. I’m now just hearing that there are Walmarts in China!!?? You have to go to China and show us what Walmarts in China are like!

  6. Gotta try the local Ramen scene in Melbourne. some realllly good places. id love to know how our Hakata Gensuke compares to the one you've been to in Canada

  7. Amazing food and prices compared to us. What happened to inflation in in Japan? Does exchange rate on dollar/yen make that much difference?
