It did make a real cool first time experience to see him enjoy with positive feed backs wich made it fresh to see. The girl didnt seem to really like ramen from the start wich was really more annoying.
The LA ramen scene looks legit! Some of the featured ramen restaurants (Tatsunoya, Rakkan) are based in Japan and it's awesome to see them branching out due to demand!
I used to live in Japan for 2 years and the closest flavor to authentic ramen so similar to Japan is Daikokuya Ramen in Little Tokyo. It's almost nostalgic. When I lived in Japan I gained 20 lbs. ramen because I ate so much of it. Also Daikokuya Ramen has the best gyoza and fried rice.
Tone-coat-su vs tone-kah-tsu. Doesn't matter to her, she can't hear the difference. Bet if I started saying ray-men instead of rah-men, she would be the first to correct me.
As soon as they pronounced it tonkatsu Vs tonkotsu, they lost all credibility with me… then she drops her egg into her ramen at Daikokuya. I’m like done with them

I've tried all 4 of these locations and I'll say props for picking 4 decently good ramen places in LA! I only wish instead of going to Okiboru for tsukemen, they would've gone to the original Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle (instead of Tsujita Annex) for their tsukemen which I feel like is bar none literally the best in LA. I personally wasn't impressed by Okiboru at all! But 100% agree with going to Daikokuya and Santouka. (Also cannot believe the guy said Santouka isn't too salty because it is SO SALTY but that's also why it's so good)
Haven't been to okiboru, but really didn't like the tsukemen at tsujita. waaaaay too fatty, and really one note flavor. Silverlake Ramen isn't the best ramen spot in town, but their tsukemen is delish.
@@iamsamjackson To each their own - I personally don't feel like the tsukemen at Tsujita is too fatty. Ramen broths to me should be fatty and rich, and especially in tsukemen so that the noodles are actually able to pick up the broth. I find that if the broth is not rich or thick enough, dunking my noodles in the broth doesn't amount to much and I might as well just order a regular ramen. I also don't feel that it is one note in flavor. It is one of the more unique ramen broths out there in my opinion. However, I've never had Silverlake ramen's tsukemen so I can't directly compare. Though I have had their classic ramen and was not impressed by the noodles or the broth so never returned though I used to live close by. Perhaps I will try their tsukemen if I'm back in the LA area.
I should say I don't mind fatty and rich. I thought Tsujita Annex sucked because it actually lacked taste - just was salt and salt and salt. Maybe it was just the chefs that day. (I love ramen and have been to Tokyo 3x, but frankly I like SF Bay Area ramen over Tsujita Annex)
Daikokuya was the first place I've ever eaten restaurant ramen so it's special to me. The extra fatty tonkotsu ramen with the chasu rice bowl is my favorite.
If anyone isn’t from LA just know you should get to Tsujita AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, avoid on Fridays & weekends unless if you want to wait over an hour. Santouka is fairly fast service because it is in a food court, and Daikokuya is good as well, but the wait can be long as well, but you can save a place in line on yelp ahead of time!
On the bright side he's positive and positively describe a meal well without pretending to enjoy ramen like the girl. She gave a lot of negative comments.
I like in Japan for 12 years, I'm a Italian Chef and big foodie, love ramen! Tsukemen is not Ramen but a ramen like dish, Jiro Ramen is an experience but never considered the best ramen by and large here in Japan. But it was truly fun to watch nonetheless
I had an American English teacher in Japan who always complained when students slurped their drinks during class. Japanese people slurp a lot, not just for noodles. He despised the sound very much. One day, a student told the teacher, "You just slurped." "What? No, I did not", "Yes, you did" He was in total denial but after a while he realized that he actually DID slurp when he drank his coffee. The teacher was in shock he could not teach for a while. We had a good laugh.
wow I tried 2 out of these 4 locations without realizing they were the best top ramen places in LA. I heard the first one was really good plus it was near CSULA so it was really close to the school I used to go too. And I tried the 3rd one when my friend took me out for lunch for helping him with his work. Hopefully I get to try out those other 2 spots with my friend, I am looking forward to it :)
I went to daikokuya the week after i came back from japan. I was always curious about why there was always a long line. Friends and I finally decided to go. The pork does literally melt in your mouth. the ramen itself though, I felt something was missing. Maybe it was an off day or I had some really high expectations but the ramen isn't as great as it seems like everyone is saying. Friends and I also got the gyoza and takoyaki those were also delicious. Maybe I will go back and try the ramen again.
Go to japan town in san Francisco to a place called “marufuku” Its in a lil Japanese strip mall on the second floor Gotta make reservations for sure Ridiculous how balanced that bowl was
All the ramen choices looked amazing. And I know others disagree, but I loved Joe and Sydney as the hosts for this video. They might not know much about ramen but it's a learning process. So what if they messed up a little? I still enjoyed it.
I live in So Cal and went to Japan for vacation, the ramen in LA is the closest I've tasted to Japanese Ramen. It costs 4x the amount in LA though =(. TATSU Ramen is amazing
@@rdfgdfgdfg you can't improve if you only use chopsticks when you eat ramen especially if you are holding it wrong. It has to be the norm of everyday life If you want to get better.
Not everyone lives in a big town and these great places forget about those of us living a slower pace in the great American small town. Love to have a Ramen place in our town! Maybe someday. Until then have a bowl of that nectar of the Gods for the rest of us !
It's fantastic! I love noodles! I'd like to enjoy variety of ramen in LA but it's not easy coz COVID19. Thank you for your movie~ Subscribed! I'm Ramen Mania in Korea~ Keep in touch!
Ok y'alls, take it easy. The host is a human being. Let's chill. These people introduced us to some cool ramen places in LA! I just tried ramen for the first time about a year ago and I'm in LOVE. I order the pork bone ramen at Furoshiki in Rochester. It is glorious.
@@angeltabot3932 - Some places do serve the egg in the shell. In this case it's a soft-boiled egg marinated in leftover chashu pork marinade (soy, sake, mirin, seaweed) , or just soy sauce. The egg is cooked for 6:40 and immediately put in ice water. The perfect soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk.
I ate ramen while visiting my mediocre brother last yuletide. Amid the visit, we watched THE MANDALORIAN (Disney+) & SCHITT'S CREEK (Netflix) respectively.🍜
I love that you guys did this piece. One advice… Please don’t stick your chopstick in the food, as it is very bad luck. It resembles the incense they stick upright when there’s death.😅
omg @3:51 offensive! its taboo to leave your chopsticks upright in a bowl!

You ate the food, you can learn more about the culture behind the food. Props to learning how to use chopsticks!
I went to Tsujita in San Gabriel. I can confirm that its the best ramen I've tried so far! I live in Torrance and ate at a lot of great ramen spots. I also had Ramen Tatsuya in Austin. Tsujita has a clean, rich broth with the perfect ramen egg. The noodles could be a bit thicker, but it was still excellent.
I’ve had all of these and then some, my personal fav is santouka’s for the reason you guys noticed. It’s the most “composed” bowl. It all works together perfectly. Tsujita is mu second fav.
I would've chosen Santouka Ramen just cause it had such a simplicity yet goodness about it☺, and the bowls it came in really made it feel home like made to me. Only thing I would change is maybe the noodles, making them a little thicker. Now I wanna try some 😭❤
I've been to many ramen places in LA. Santuoka is my go to spot since it's my neighborhood. But Yamadaya and Tatsu ramen is where my friends and I go to after work.
I don't understand all the negativity about the hosts. They're not saying they're going to find the best ramen, as they're experts and know everything about ramen, Japanese culture and its history. It's just two ordinary people trying ramen and being excited about it, that's all... and just like ordinary people, they are liked by some and not liked by others. It's OK!
Im allways watching this kind of clips when im eating. Most Time i eat some vegetables, rice and chicken, so i like to watching some meals i cant eat right now :)
daiko, tsujita and santouka are the only ramen houses worth visiting if you're not from LA and want really good bowls. other good places for locals are Kaz ramen, and SILVERLAKE Ramen. Amazing stuff Sillerlake Ramen must use cream in their broth because it's literally SILK.
Al dente is a French term meaning “firm to the bite" (just undercooked) Noodles aren’t typically supposed to be al dente during consuming it because you to finish the cooking the pasta in the sauce. I don’t get why people think Al dente means soft.
LA guy here and Daikokuya and Tsujita are definitely very popular and good. Another ramen shop that rivals them is Slurpin Ramen bar in Ktown. It is insanely good. It's creamy and rich but cleaner and thinner than Daikokuya. It's very popular and honestly my favorite here
The chef smiling at the back 8:26 is me when I cook for people
God bless him
Hahaha
The guy in the background at the tsukemen place, the big smile he has on his face after she says 'wow'... I can feel how proud he is...aww..

Totally agree, Tsujita is the best, with additional garlic.
The hosts don't share a good chemistry.

@2:04 It's 2019 and I still hear Tonkatsu as Tonkotsu ramen. Those narrators need to get it together lmao
Anyone else fall in love with the red head 😍
Al dente is a French term meaning “firm to the bite" (just undercooked) Noodles aren’t typically supposed to be al dente during consuming it because you to finish the cooking the pasta in the sauce. I don’t get why people think Al dente means soft.
Isn't al dente italian sir?
Santouka is overlooked. Their pork is on another level.
LA guy here and Daikokuya and Tsujita are definitely very popular and good. Another ramen shop that rivals them is Slurpin Ramen bar in Ktown. It is insanely good. It's creamy and rich but cleaner and thinner than Daikokuya. It's very popular and honestly my favorite here
