Mikey Chen    

Food Vlogger & YouTuber Known for "Strictly Dumpling"

Food vlogger Mike Chen has had a lot of memorable meals — from an all-you-can-eat lobster buffet in Las Vegas to a massive, 5.5-pound gyoza dumpling in Tokyo.

As the host of “Strictly Dumpling,” the food reviews YouTube channel that has nearly 2.6 million subscribers, Chen regularly attracts millions of viewers per post with videos showing him trying foods around the world, from “legendary” ramen in Japan to McDonald’s in India or Vietnamese street food.

Chen, who started making YouTube food videos six years ago, actually runs six different YouTube channels, with more than 5 million followers overall, including “Beyond Science,” where he explores “food, news, Chinese culture and mysterious phenomenon.”

Born in China but raised in the U.S., Chen is a former Morgan Stanley financial analyst who left that job after a year, in 2006. He then worked for the non-profit media company NTD Television, where he served as the head of digital strategy, until 2015.
