Julien, this couldn’t have been better timed. Not only did I discover that this gem is in my neighborhood because of this video, I got the last ticket to the sushi making class next week that happens to be on my birthday!!! I’m so excited, thank you for posting!
That’s amazing! Send an update on how the class went! Happy early birthday!!
happy birthday! enjoy the class
That’s amazing! Would love to know how it goes! 💖
Thanks all!! The class was great, Chef Pearl was so kind and a great teacher. The staff was extremely helpful and supportive. Food was to die for! Can’t wait to go back for omakase soon!
@@BuffyTheIdiotSlayer Yay I love this! Thank you for updating! What a great way to spend your birthday! I hope your year ahead is just as great!!😊✨
Pearl deserves the world, i really hope the restaurant can stay open.
Even more- may this succeed and flourish!!
Yes! 🙌🏻
Grand Uni could we please send that good love energy towards Pearl may she spend that energy towards her grand success.
🦣💨❤️
her best bet would be to leave cali entirely tbh. Unfortunately california prices are not small business friendly, and their state policies really hurt small businesses too. It's the main reason i didnt open mine there and chose to move elsewhere for better real estate and better tax policies. Small businesses nation wide are really struggling to stay afloat
@@gittabg0would going ghost-kitchen-style or cloud restaurant help?
I remember some years ago Julien had said, "Vegan sushi just isn't there yet." Now seeing how amazing this all looks and knowing that they're a struggling restaurant kinda breaks my heart. My best wishes go out to them. I wish I lived close by to try it out.
That's what i was thinking about too
It's come so far
I literally JUST watched the video he says this in “My boyfriend cooks my favorite meal” and was so surprised I come here and this is the first video i see 😭 and then i open the comments and see this lol. so cool to see vegan sushi.
me trying to explain to my parents how I found an amazing new restaurant to try: so it all started in like 2009 when i discovered this hilarious girl on youtube
😫😫😫
😂😢 god i still miss her... On Wednesday slash Thursdays...
@@kunak2963 they got married a couple years ago 🥲
@@kunak2963yes they're married now
not me crying my eyes out about a restaurant i didnt even know 25 min ago, this was so good julien, thank you so much for all you do, honestly
I swear to sweet baby Hank Williams Jesus Jr that I just did the same thing. Its just too honestly real to not connect ❤.
all my homies love chef pearl and kusaki! this was edited so beautifully and al's camera work is top tier. ty for always using your platform for good
This 100%
i know everyone already knows how impressive and well-made julien’s videos are, but this video… wow. i’m genuinely impressed with julien’s skill as a documentarian.
Don’t forget the camera man too!
not sure if this goes unnoticed, but the pacing of juliens videos are remarkable. he allows each shot to breathe. super dope shit man
The little doodle the staff put everywhere, so cute! Sell em on tshirts as merch!
julens next tattoo
idk the artist, but that character is actually someone’s art!! I wish I could remember their name, but I follow them. so they would def need to check w copyright things first!
“I have all this anxiety and then I can’t sleep” and then she laughs 😭🤣
She's just like me fr 😂😂😂
Also, her crying at the end teared me up! I love her passion. This was a great video.
I ate here because of your first stream and it was SO DELICIOUS, chef pearl is so sweet, 10/10 restaurant. I recommend it to all my coworkers when they visit our CA office!
So they're still open? That's great to hear
“Wasabi, I’m crying” “I’m sorry” “It punched me in my throat” 😭😭 Julien why did you punch chef in the throat 😭
@@rebexxa that moment really gave " you gotta spend money to make money baby " from once talking about bartending 😭😭
A little Aries, chaotic energy and wasabi is acceptable.
AAAH MY HANDWRITING IS IN THE VIDEO 😭😭 love you Julien thank you for helping out Pearl she is an awesome person!❤️
Awww….Are you one of her employees? 💗 What part was your handwriting?
As someone who isn't the biggest fan of raw fish, this might be a sushi place I actually enjoy :')
I think she actually recognizes that Julien has some cooking skills even though he's a home chef, so she allows him to learn gently. I really enjoy that aspect!
I betcha julien made a donation to her restaurant AND CUT IT OUT OF TUE VIDEO bc hes not an evil weirdo. Absolute respect.
There are so many things about this video that make me sob.
Pearl is so sweet and sincere, and she deserves everything. Her restaurant should be full every night. I live in South Africa, but if I were in the area, I'd take my family every week to support Pearl.
There's also something so sweet and tender about watching Julien make food gently and carefully after years of Aries kitchen. Literally brought a tear to my eye 🥹
Before I worked in the industry, I remember how anxious I would get in the kitchen, even just cooking for my family. Spending time in professional kitchens really helped me appreciate the slow, peaceful tranquility of home cooking. I no longer work in the industry, but cooking is my favorite way to relax now. Watching Juliens cooking videos is so fun in a "watching your little brother make a mess" kind of way, but seeing how careful and precise he can be is heartwarming.
That ending made me emotional, you can see how much love and care she puts in her kitchen and her art. I hope the restaurant gets to stay open for a long long time 💜
omg Julien connecting with and uplifting this BEAUTIFUL person that he respects so much is the best corner of TH-cam. EVERYBODY WE GOTTA GO AND KEEP THIS PLACE HOPPIN'
Not even 5 minutes in and I’m donating. So well done, what a sweet kitchen. Places like this should survive and thrive! Great job cooking Julien! Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Dink dink
I’m sitting here crying and wishing I could do more than just pray the generosity of others who are able to donate will multiply to save this restaurant. Pearl seems like the SWEETEST human and her passion and drive is inspiring. Thank you for sharing her story, Julien♥️
I can't get over how this vegan sushi and sashimi looks SO REAL! Amazing. Wish I could try it.
Doing the dishes together at the end is so sweet 😭
I did not watch stream, and this really made me tear up in the beginning. Julian constantly is using his platform for the best stuff like trying to keep this amazing restaurant open. Chef Pearl deserves the world and I’m so jealous I live on the opposite coast. Thank you Julien for all you do truly
Julian staying to wash dishes with Pearl is so wholesome, he obviously didn’t have to but he did it to help 🥹🥹🥹🥹
What a beautiful video. Her love language is very clearly feeding people and hearing that their doors may close has me literally sobbing 😭
Thank you so much to Chef Pearl & Julien for the video, and thank you to any dink fam able to help support them!
Literally anything Julien does he does it with care, genuine heart, humor, openness, kindness. He’s such a good person through and through. They don’t make a lot of people like you
Also don’t worry girl the bear gives us all anxiety! I hope your beautiful restaurant is still open. Nice to see all 5 star reviews on Google!
As an individual that works in the food industry, it is so awesome to see people who really have passion in their food and business. It really does make a difference in how the food comes out. I really hope this business blossoms more.
I could see Julien becoming a chef.
JULEN IS A REAL LIFE SUSAN CHEF. GUYS.
ur honor, he cooked
ur honor and then i fear he ate....
members of the jury, not only did this man cook and proceed to eat, he then had the audacity to leave no crumbs.
Yes chef 🫡
This was an incredibly beautiful tribute to an amazing chef. I hope Pearl can find a way to serve her love and care to as many people as possible.
SO EXCITED FOR THR ARIES KING TO DO HIS THINGP
I remember watching the livestream when you went with Jordan back in February. I was so impressed and envious of your amazing experience. Thank you for doing what you can to help Chef Pearl and her team. 💜
your giant heart is one of the many reasons we all love you julen, this was the best episode of aries kitchen (which i think every new ep aries kitchen!!!!!) this was a beautiful love letter to kusaki 🖤 sending you all the best vibes chef pearl small businesses like yours deserve to thrive! 🙏🏽
this is such a lovely video :) it was edited and filmed so well!! i really hope kusaki manages to thrive, its so sweet that the community was able to help pitch in and have this video to keep their story alive! ❤
julen! this was BEAUTIFULLY edited and shot (shouts out Al!) loved watching and donating live and donated again on this vid. sending love to pearl and the restaurant
Julien is such a gift, I love how he shares his resources to help others.
You can just see the passion she has for what she does. 😭 I’m wishing her the best ✨
The immediate gofundme success is so heartwarming. Hope this gets kusaki on a great path to success!
So much respect on Julien's side as far as referring to Pearl as Chef. I love watching The Bear. I've also been enjoying Kitchen Nightmares again. I've worked in every restaurant position but I've mostly been a waitress because I connect well with customers. But I love working in restaurants when FOH associates well with BOH staff!
this is absolutely incredible. rarely am i ever moved so much as to comment publicly on a video, but this had me crying the entire time. you could feel the sincerity and seriousness of the craft through the video. pearl is incredible, and so is her team. thank you julien and team for capturing this special gem so beautifully.
I'm watching this from Scotland, unlikely to ever visit in person, but omg the food looks incredible. If Chef Pearl ever makes a cookbook, I'd LOVE to buy it - her blend of flavours sounds amazing. Particularly recipes for the different sauces and toppings would be great!!
julien this was an s tier level video😭 it’s so beautifully made and for all the right reasons. i love that you’re using your platform to showcase someone like chef pearl who clearly is so talented and wonderful. she is brilliant and so are you!! thank you! much love
1 min in and I’m already teared up! It makes my heart so happy when you can just feel someone’s love and passion for what they do, Pearl, I really really hope things go so well for you!!!! I hope everyone in the area goes a bunch!!!!
I love Pearl and this video! I didn’t get to watch live so I’m really glad it’s on yt. I really hope they get to stay open!!
Ok ok ok who's cutting onions through this WHOLE video? This was so BEAUTIFULLY shot and edited and incredible in literally every way! Al over here killing it, Papa nailing the food... Chef Pearl, ohhhh Chef Pearl. I've never wanted so badly to hug someone so so so tight that I've never met. You can see and feel the love she has for people and food. I wish nothing but great news for Kusaki and Chef Pearl. The internet and the Dink fam love you all SO much ♥️♥️♥️♥️
she seems like an awesome human & i hope she can continue to live her dream!
This video brought tears to my eyes. You can see Chef Pearl's love and passion for her restaurant and culinary. Thank you Julien for using your platforms to help draw people's attention to this amazing business. Although I am in Canada, I wish Pearl and Kusaki all the love and success the world has to offer!
And she is so sweet and hard working!!! I admire her!! 🥰💕
my mouth was watering the entire video. chef pearl is a lovely lil lady and i hope she can keep her restaurant open for everyone to enjoy !
I don't have the opportunity to watch the streams, so thank you so much for getting this video up here too! Gonna have to visit Kusaki
I donated as soon as you mentioned the gofundme page. I'm in Arizona and would love to drive over to CA to eat and support Chef Pearl. Julie, you did amazing, I'm so proud of you.
And helping her clean up 🤧
i genuinely wanted a bite of each dish 🤍 everything looked so good
atp i wud kill for a mythical kitchen collab omfggggg thank u pearl for this great experience
I remember your first stream here! I remember being amazed at everything that came out lmao. Chef Pearl is awesome, thank you Julien for trying to help! Best wishes to Kusaki and staff 💕💕🍣✨
i absolutely loved this video, Chef Pearl is an angel and we must protect her at all costs! aries kitchen IRL needs to be a series now because imm hooked
I'm literally crying tears of joy. This makes me so happy. Ty julen, ty pearl. Ily you guys.
All the love to Chef Pearl and Kusaki!!❤ great video julen!!
What a beautiful soul! May her and her restaurant succeed! I hate seeing small businesses have to close. Also, I have never liked sushi, but damn this video had me wanting that so hard
Pearl is a gem (pun intended). This editing style is unmatched. Even as a non-vegan, I would 10/10 dine here. Great video, Julien!
I missed this stream so I’m glad to see this on TH-cam
Julien! I love how you bring such life to these types of videos as a chef myself, you capture what we feel as culinary artists, your videography is spectacular. Keep on doin' it to em. I truly hope pearl and her restaurant can go the distance.
Oh my heart!!! She is an absolute gem! 😩💚
Lets go y'all. We gotta pull through
Chef Pearl was so nice and being inside a professional kitchen was an amazing experience! The video looks awesome Julen!!
Yuuup they cookin✨
That was so beautiful - in every way.
A new series where Julen visits and fundraises and makes a different recipe with chef Pearl each time?
This was absolutely lovely, an amazing place to eat to
I don’t know if it is Pearl’s passion, Julien’s editing and music choices or how happy this whole thing makes me that has me nearly in tears watching this. 🌸
Oooh I think I may go try this place! I’m vegetarian and the only sushi I’ve ever been able to try are plain veggie rolls, so I’m totally hyped!
She seems so sweet, incredible, and talented. So awesome you were able to do this with and for her!! I wish I could go (cries in Maine) All of this looks so delicious!
I wish I could have donated more, but I did what I could to help out this wonderful human being. She deserves it.
Julien you are such a kind soul. Chaos comes with a kind heart.
what a sweet chef, all the love to pearl !
awwww julien this was really sweet how dare you
Heart of gold, Julien. And sushi. Heart of gold and sushi. 💛
She’s so incredibly wholesome and I really hope this place stays open. Vegan sushi sounds amazing and one day I want to visit from the east coast and try some. ❤
This is beautiful Julie 🗽 Thank You - I nominate you on Bravo Top Chef Challenge
As a mexican, This is what I Love so MUCH about america, you guys have authentic asian, mixed with autentic mexican avocado to make something new, something American. that means so much
Chef Pearl just radiates sunshine and positivity. We need more people like her in this world-I really hope her dream can continue to grow. Makes my heart happy when Julien and the Dink fam can do something like this 🤍
This is so incredibly wholesome and lovely. You can tell how much love chef Pearl has for her food and her restaurant ❤
Just booked a reservation for omakase today!!!!!! I’m SO EXCITED 🎉🎉🎉
I don't get to catch Julien streaming often but I was watching when he "found" this restaurant and now I'm crying. 😭💖
I wish I could go eat there! Congrats on the Fundraiser! ;^;
So proud of you Julien, living a fantastic life!
How much joy it brings me the editing of these videos and how relaxing it is! Missed your cooking videos but this is majestic! Helps me slow down 💖
Julien kinda clean with the skillz, its been too long to see him flexing in the kitchen! Much love to Kusaki and Pearl!
You’re both angels omg 🥹
This is so exciting for me. My body has been rejecting more and more food, but sushi has almost always been a safe food. Now, when I’m finally betrayed on meats I’ll have an alternative
This was such a wonderful watch 💙💙
This is my favorite video I’ve ever seen from your channel, the level of care means a lot.
oh she’s such a sweetheart! she deserves all the success the world can offer her!
Julien this is such a well done video. Seriously probably the most beautiful shots and editing. Chef Pearl is a gem and so kind. Thank you both for this!!
this was such a beautiful video julien, your eye for creating content that captivates only gets better and better. also, my god that sushi looks good!!
This is a beautiful video of beautiful human interaction. Learning is so amazing:)
as someone with parents who opened their own restaurant and made their dreams come true 31 years ago - that got so beaten down by the pandemic (as many other small businesses did) and are desperately trying to sort it all out now - I can't even tell you how lovely it is that you made this connection, these memories and are helping where you're able. You're a stand up dude.
Haven’t checked in for a while. Glad to see and hope you are doing well!! 😊
Also, so happy to hear that your voice and community helped someone not give up on their dreams!!!💛
