Frank is a very great guest/partner. A ramen expert indeed. His choice of words to describe each bowl is really what a Ryan Reynolds of ramen would say. Gotta say, one of my fav videos of yours! Big fan since 2016! Excited for your future videos. 😸💪🏻🍜🍥🥢🥃
I’ve lived in Japan for four years and I remember finding my favorite ramen shop ever in Meguro. I’ve had hundreds of different ramens at this point and this chicken broth ramen (being I believe my second ramen I’ve ever tried) has always been the best. The combination of the broth with the noodles and toppings were perfect for me and I screamed when I saw that you guys covered it in the last ramen shop. It’s amazing and I always recommend it to anyone. To think I found that place by accident with my friend while we were waiting for another friend who was running really late.
3,000 - 4000 Ramen Shops in Tokyo alone?! That's like 1 ramen shop a day for 10 yrs! And there is still Sapporo, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Nagasaki, etc... If I win lotto, I gotta at least stay there for 5 years and try to taste them all. :)
yer right. tried atleast 2 dozen ramen shop in Japan (Tokyo, Nara, Osaka, Niseko, Chitose) its mind boggling to think how many ramen shops esp if you happen to pass by a single Street in Tokyo..but of that 4000 shops, you might encounter some band wagoners Ramen shops...
Hi Sonny, I've recently found your channel and it has become compulsive viewing in my house and I'm working my way through your back catalogue. I recently watched an episode where you mentioned that you were over 300lbs at one point and how you turned your life around and I want to say that you are an inspiration to me as I'm 6ft1 and 360lbs and have changed the way I eat and see myself after watching your show. I've lost 13lbs in a week. Keep up the good work buddy, all the best from the UK 👍
It all starts with diet! As long as you are in a caloric deficit you will lose weight, but I do recommend walking as well. I recommend looking at Mike Rashids losing 100lbs series for motivation. Good luck!
8:33 You're like the Deadpool of noodles … Best Line Ever! I'm always amazed by the camera work, video editing, production value … everything is always top notch!
The slurping gives SO much extra flavour to the dish! It is not just for effect. Sonny slurps a bit messy, but the effect is the same. And, it is a compliment to the chef, or so i am told.
@@JozlynMoon They say it's just a habit that they picked up from young cuz their parents and many other people do it, and they never questioned it. Some are taught from young that slurping is rude, or they find that it's rude when they grow up because the soup is more likely to spray when slurping, but non-slurpers are the minority here. I live here, and every single Japanese person I've asked says that the "it shows respect to the chef" thing is bullshit they've never heard of that until they get asked by foreigners.
@@Oble89 bit late to the party but doesn't the slurping also have something to do with the fact that the food is super hot so its a cooling technique I guess?
Thanks so much for watching! Follow me on Instagram for more fun food videos! @InstaSonnySide Go on your own Tokyo Ramen Tour with Frank! tokyobyfood.com/listings/tasting-6-bowls-of-ramen-in-3-award-winning-shops-in-tokyo/ Next time you're in Vietnam, hit up Onetrip for an amazing tour: www.christinas.vn/onetrip/saigon/
What a great slurp off for the beginning of the video. Makes me excited for the rest of the video always great work man.👍 You're going to the top 👆Sonny👆
Y'all should check this video to know what is authentic Chinese ramen ,ramen is Chinese Muslim food , nothing to do with Japanese,you silly people ...th-cam.com/video/SSpgd_QWFoU/w-d-xo.html
Do you know what's illegal? Many people just eat the noodle, not drinking the soup and all let them throw away, especially in North America. The soup is where all the hardwork is.....and people just not finishing it.
Simon C especially in North America? You do know plenty of people in Japan just don’t finish the broth, sometimes it too heavy for example, with tonkotsu.
I love how you respect every single culture you go to, not much people really appreciate how you respect the culture and I love how you are so cultured. I'm a local to hawaii and although most of us don't like foreigners (because of what happened to our land) But since you are so cultured, so respectful to every place you go, I believe you will be 100% welcome here. You will forever have my respect.

"With the kind of savory wholesome flavor that feels like mom wrapping a warm blanket around you after a long day of snowman building" hit me right in the feels
This day i was reading nisekoi manga and in that it did mention that slurping is ok.......it did feel weird since i was raised to not make any sort of noise while eating......well......this makes me love japan even more and makes me wanna grow up and live in japan....
Truly the best ever food review show 😂 you literally enjoy watching every bit ... the kinda food you show us, how it’s made, the ingredients, and the comments it’s all perfect
"Oh man it's so firm and hard and feel so nice" **slurpslurpslurpityslurp** "Oh yeah...more !" Everyone else around me: o.O what the f**k are you watching man !?
Moron. In Japan and related Asian countries, it is and can be considered *****incredibly rude & ignorant**** not to slurp as it shows appreciation to the cook.
In Japan if you don't slurp - which is considered a show of appreciation to the cook - you are considered rude & ignorant. So nobody would be staring in Japan.
This is just so pro, so well done. There's been so many ramen expert vids already done, yet this feels so much better than the rest, still new and fresh.
All of your videos is worth to watch! Never in one time i get bored watching it. Your voice, energy and the quality of the video is thumbs up!❤️ Me and my husband are super entertained❤️ may God bless your team and more power🤗
The show is just so perfect like the commentary is so smooth, the presentation is clear and the most important, the cameraman has a very good knowledge and I dont see them lacking anywhere. Thats the reason people stick their eyes to every video on this channel.
Loved this Ramen episode !!! Your guest host Frank was a wonderful Ramen Guide. He would be great in more Japanese inspired food restaurants in the future !!!
@@selylol1504 Right?! He seems like he loves what he's doing. 14:40 Is my favorite. He was ready for another bowl of ramen. Too bad Sonny couldn't keep up with him, haha!
We finally have some places that serve pretty good ramen in my little rural city and I'm so happy. It's so much work to make it at home and source the ingredients that I prefer to just eat out. I only wish we had more authentic variety and crazy twists. All of these dishes looked so freaking good.
*slurp slurp slurp* "Very well done" "Let's see it homie what you got?" *sluuuurrrp slurp sluurrrrrp* "Yo they call him Hoover for a reason" "I took to much on that last one" My wife: WTF ARE YOU WATCHING?!
Ramen Nagi, the best of the best! We are fortunately blessed with two shops in my region. The line for both places is insanely long; the shop breaks down the line into two different sections to not to block the sidewalks and other store fronts. Everything is amazing and top notch from service, efficiency, and noodle quality.
Love watching your vids, man. Hoping to try those ramen shops in tokyo someday. In the mean time, i'll enjoy the ramen shops here in the philippines. Ramen lover over here.
Thank you so much for the collab, Sonny! Come back to Tokyo for some more ramen! (I can always have one more bowl...)
Thanks for the carb coma. Totally worth it!
Hamm
I must say you are totally pleasant, mild mannered and very knowledgeable. Do you have a mixed Japanese blood btw?
And Sonny can always have one more highball.
Subbed Frank, but you gotta make more vlogs, don't let brother Stiggy have all the limelight.
Frank is a very great guest/partner. A ramen expert indeed. His choice of words to describe each bowl is really what a Ryan Reynolds of ramen would say. Gotta say, one of my fav videos of yours! Big fan since 2016! Excited for your future videos. 😸💪🏻🍜🍥🥢🥃
He even sounds like Ryan
Maybe a Collab of Frank and Ryan would be fun, gin and ramen is fun
I love the part where he offers to share. These guys were vibin

Holy shit. 😂
Sonny, you can shut down the comment section down now. We've done it, we've reached the peak. The project is complete.
3,000 - 4000 Ramen Shops in Tokyo alone?! That's like 1 ramen shop a day for 10 yrs! And there is still Sapporo, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Nagasaki, etc... If I win lotto, I gotta at least stay there for 5 years and try to taste them all. :)
Youre going to need a noodle buddy, and i volunteer. 2 Ramen shops for 5yrs...we can do this!
Me too add me in with those dam noodles 3.3 years for the three of us
Too bad you’ll probably have a heart attack about 10% of the way through!
yer right. tried atleast 2 dozen ramen shop in Japan (Tokyo, Nara, Osaka, Niseko, Chitose) its mind boggling to think how many ramen shops esp if you happen to pass by a single Street in Tokyo..but of that 4000 shops, you might encounter some band wagoners Ramen shops...
?
It's 2.53am here and I'm salivating while watching this, so hungry now!! 😩
I love how Franks like yeah dude this pesto cheese ramen is super unique and he just goes nahhhh I'll take squidink
I heard cheese and was like 👀you are going to eat that
Hands down my favorite Japanese comfort food. It's a complete package that leaves you full and satisfied.
Watching this in the middle of the night was a bad idea
jeithhnsm tell me about, I got hungry watching this and I just start eating chips, but that doesn’t satisfy my hunger for the ramen in the video 😭
@@vanlian8585 Ikr, I wanna do a super loud slurp 😭
Oh shit i did it, it getting worse because i skip my dinner 😂
Well, I'm a midnight toker and I almost ate my shirt after while watching this...
Starving bro😢

@Gimpy Dee. Best of luck. Keep going don't stop. Best if you search for best quality foods - organic wherever possible.

I ate instant ramen while watching this...make it feel better taste of mine
I'm gonna make some ramen and rewatch this.
i feel guilty but same....

That mapo tofu ramen is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 😍
Indeed. Wish I had it 😭
The slurping gives SO much extra flavour to the dish! It is not just for effect. Sonny slurps a bit messy, but the effect is the same. And, it is a compliment to the chef, or so i am told.
It is not a compliment to the chef
Oble then what is it
An ex girlfriend swore eating food with mouth open enhanced the flavor lol

@@plorin3015 well, it's just sad to see food get wasted, especially when the chef pour their heart and soul to make that delicious soup
Simon C Yeah, I guess so. It’d be cool if somebody made something like fried rice with it like in some Korean places.
Lol dude nobody in Japan drinks the soup
@@ironpython1492 what do you mean? It's normal view in japan seeing people drink the soup right out of the bowl once they finished the noodles

"With the kind of savory wholesome flavor that feels like mom wrapping a warm blanket around you after a long day of snowman building" hit me right in the feels
the top left corner is usually the most populair ramen of the restaurant
so it can't go wrong if you pick that one
“Black as night , darker than my heart “😂
Was looking for this comment😂😩
I’m Japanese, and what I was impressed with was that both of them did not hesitate to slurp. It seems like they understand and accept our culture.

Mee tooo!! WTF?!?! Hahah! Every time I eat Instant noodles
I took Frank's ramen tour on Airbnb about 3 years ago when I went to Japan and it was glorious.
Great food video. Sonny, you make everything fun. Who knew you could laugh hysterically over a bowl of ramen!
PLEASE make a playlist of ALL the songs used in your vids
I wonder how many New Year resolution diets were broken after watching this video 😂
About 2
😂
Its not fair... its too delicious
Many....I know mine was......again.
What are new year's resolution diets?
Honestly this tour guide is the best you've had
Sonny been following you for years. Thanks for the great work. This video is convincing me to join on your channel!

Watching these while eating ramen is like a paradise
There is a Ramen Nagi here in Philippines and it is always my go to restaurant when I eat in mall. Man it is 12 midnight and I want!
DEADBOWL OF RAMEN!

I was looking for this comment, so I don’t have to say it 😂😂

Yessss! I thought he looked familiar 😂😂😂 Sunny, u need to tag Bekruz! His long lost brother
R you assuming all tour guide look the same =)))) jk
This is a professional food show.
Well thanks yo.

RAMEN !
I just ate and I'm hungry again how dare u sonny
Wow 😍 The Ramen expert guy is so classy

13:27 has me Dying of laughter😂😂we watch a delicious egg 🥚, and here the slurps of a expert 👏👏Well Done😂
Tour guide looks like the asian Jerry Seinfeld
Lavar_Ball You nailed it.. With a dash of Gilbert Gottfried.. Tour Guide is very mild mannered and chill than both of those comedians though.
Lavar_Ball omg he is cute
Ryan Reynolds + Andrew Keegan, maybe? :p
More like Fred Armisen to me
I was thinking Jon leguizamo (sp?) But I can see Seinfeld too.
Eating a nissin cup ramen while watching this.. 😢😢😢
That's the saddest and most relatable thing ever.
i feel you bruh :(
Watching you both eat put me in a food coma. Another great video bro!! 👍🏻
Love watching your vids, man. Hoping to try those ramen shops in tokyo someday. In the mean time, i'll enjoy the ramen shops here in the philippines. Ramen lover over here.
Omg I was In Japan last year in May and Frank was our Airbnb experience's ramen tour guide. Very cool.
Naruto is the ramen expert
Get out
Nothing Better then Watching 2 Good looking Men slurping up Ramen 😍😍😀😀 I wish I was a Ramen Noodle 😂😂😂😘😘
Lol
early squad where u at???
I hope one day we see Frank and Shizzy on an episode!!
Frank has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen...❤️❤️ Such a handsome man!
Watching at night 😱 im still full but suddenly i want something to eat again
"This is my ramen expert..... Frank" i dont know why that amuses me so much
I find myself trying to subscribe again every time I watch one of your videos
I am beginning to appreciate the simplicity and flavours of the different varieties of ramen as I explore them.
この動画、テンポがいいのか何回も観てしまう。第2弾みたい
this really is the best ever food review channel ever....subscribed!! hahahahahahaah
Sonny was missing Bekruz so much that he looked for a Japanese lookalike. Nothing beats the original Bekruz though.
I wasn't the only one that noticed!
Frank reminds me of Bekruz for some reason.
Ann Wong I felt the same! Also very handsome and hot. But I find Bekruz a lot warmer. We miss him so much, don’t we?
I agree with you both, they’re handsome 😉😉
The wound the loss of Bekruz left is still fresh :(
His voice-over introduction from 0:13 - 1:38 sounds like he's mimicking Anthony Bourdain
This ramen guide is very cute 😍
Oh yeah...Frank Striegl
Dunno why but the circles are weirdly satisfying 6:02
Sonny: You're a good slurper!!!
Brazzers: :)
I was studying in Tokyo for 6 months, and I eat so much ramen. My fave is tatsunoya (Their tsukemen though) It is amazing!
Hi sonny i am big fan of you. U are best food reviewer. Love from India....
Vignesh Kanagaraj love you
strang love you
Your country reeks of shit and poverty
7:09 really looks amazing!
yes. those ramen looks amazing. but frank is a snack 😋
That moment you're eating top ramen watching this... lol.
Somewhere in the world Naruto Uzumaki is drooling with hearts in his eyes while seeing this video
Ah I see a man of culture ❤️ proud otaku ...
"today i meet the ramen expert, frank"
I thought it gonna be a japanese name or something
Wow i just saw this food trip still being offered and I looked up the host and found this vid! Very nice trip!!!
I love Ramen noodles! And The fact they have soo many varieties makes it that more appetizing. 😋✌🏽👍🏽
