Fun Fact: The California Roll was created in British Columbia Canada. Specifically Vancouver. A ton of filming is done in Vancouver and so Hollywood Executives would often eat Sushi there. The "California Roll" became really popular with these said Hollywood execs mainly due to the Nori (Seaweed) being hidden by the Rice, which was more appealing to westerners.

I’m in Rhode Island and I live down the street from a ramen shop. They collect pieces of art/notes left behind by customers and display them. One of the notes was written in Japanese, so I took a picture and sent it to my friend who is fluent in it. It basically said that the writer was afraid they wouldn’t be able to find authentic Japanese food after moving from Japan and that the food at this spot was near perfect and reminded them of home. It’s still hanging up and it makes me happy every time I see it.

LA local here: There are imo better options than these places. Typically you're gonna want to go to either the older restaurants on Sawtelle - while avoiding the overhyped Instagram spots - or schlep to the South Bay (Gardena/Torrance). In particular, Yakitoriya on Sawtelle is where I take almost anyone who's visiting LA for the first time.

@pczTV 3 месяца назад

Yea, I agree. South Bay is the place to go. There’s a large Japanese expat community and the restaurants are many and legit. I live down here so I can’t be bothered to drive up to sawtelle for a smaller selection. Besides, I get to practice my Japanese here.

Paolo's done videos at the Kura Sushi in Harajuku/Shibuya before. Same setup except I would argue the flow and menu items on the Kura's in Japan completely outshined the Kura's in the states. The Kura in the burbs out by me in Chicago are OK, but not as good as the Harajuku one I went to.

As someone who frequents going to LA, those are not good representatives for Japanese food in SoCal. Try any restaurant by Bishamon Group in Little Tokyo or Sawtelle which includes Daikokuya, Midoh, etc. Try going to Torrance as well. Some places around LA that I love include Izakaya Hachi, Shin Sen Gumi Yakitori, Wadatsumi, Pasta e Pasta and Yamaya Wagyu. Ajisen also ain't bad for ramen, they have been consistent throughout the years but feels less popular now. Chinchikurin is probably the only decent Hiroshima style okonomiyaki around LA but pretty over priced. But yeah, there's more Japanese run places in SoCal than you think!

For Yoshinoya, I've noticed that once they closed all their other states (except CA) locations down, they've been really trying hard to copy panda express. I've also noticed that the main consumers of Yoshinoya are hispanics, so I think they cater their menu towards that demographic. Also they send out coupons for bogo bowls every month or so, but still, better to make that at home. For Kura, they have that in Japan. except ours are $3.75? per plate now. I haven't been there for a year, so it may have gone up since then. Japan has it for 130 yen per plate. Taste wise is similar, but the Japanese locations have more menu items and fugu.

10:05 shes technically not wrong but its a similar situation to something like cup ramen being american invention. The burrito came about in northern mexico. Workers didnt always have plates so they started using flour tortillas as a way to hold the food. The name is derivative of "donkey" which historically wered used to carry luggage/equipment hence the "holding/carrying" the tortilla carries/holds the filling. While you can realistically fill a burrito with anything for it to qualify the "beans rice ground beef sour cream" burrito is the americanized version that isnt super common. Idealy when you order a burrito a mexican restaurant should ask wat style of meat youd like. If you go in and order a burrito and they go "coming right up" it should be sus af cus the whole point of the burrito is you can get any filling on it.

The plate disposal is actually the answer to the law requiring a fresh plate every time you go to the buffet. You can’t have plates stacking up as it’s unsanitary. It was developed in Japan at a few conveyor belt sushi places and brought over. That disposal is connected directly with the dishwashing station right below the dining room. It’s quick and efficient.

After finding some sushi places in the US ran by a sushi chef that at least trained in Japan (either because the chef is actually from Japan or at the very least, their advertisements say so), I can't really do sushi from other places, especially Kura sushi here. The worst offender I'm finding is the rice. It's like they take plain ol' calrose, pack it in, refrigerate it, and bring it out immediately to serve. The protein itself also being served at what seems like "right out of the fridge" temperatures is a problem as well. I don't know if this is some food safety thing but serving it refrigerator cold my chief complaint. There was a place in LA that served what I thought was really good sushi and the biggest thing they did was serve it closer to room temperature.

Honestly a more accurate experience might be in the middle of nowhere lol. I live in pennsyltucky, but we have a couple Asian restaurants within a decent drive. There’s a place (Blue Koi in Hanover ) that serves Asian cuisine that does sushi, and it’s the best thing around. Not drenched in sauce, I’ve never had a bad fish (which other places have let me down on before) and the rice is soft. Downside is it is expensive, 7$ for a set of 8 rolls. It’s totally worth it though especially with lunch prices. There’s a convenient ramen place in Gettysburg square but I can’t have ramen lol. It’s a small family thing it looks like, and my fiance likes it. They do sushi which was ok. It’s nice to visit on a cold day walk. My fiance and I are going on a longer drive to an event outside Harrisburg and there’s a sushi place where you can order as much as you want for one price but you cannot leave leftovers or you pay extra. The sushi is good but definitely sometimes I get something not great. But worth it for the price if you want A LOT of sushi. People around here also really like hibachi.

Kura Sushi has the same plate disposal system in Japan bro. Also try their rice cola, it's interesting 😁

Ya the sauce you got with the gyoza wasnt soy sauce, its a dumpling sauce places give with them. Its supposed to have a slight sweet taste to it. I prefer using something else for mine. Oh and the first restaurant I would also consider a fast food version of japanese food. Never expect it to good lol

It sucks that Joey only was in LA because there are (not many) some insanely good sushi restaurants outside of it (not saying LA is some utopia of sushi or something)

@kekw9958 3 месяца назад

My man joey, the sushi place you went its here in Japan as well. Kurazushi and other chain ten has similar setup as that shop you went lol

From personal experience, the best Japanese restaurant with basics is Kino Sushi in Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard and Las Palmas. Best ramen I’ve ever had is from there.

The place he went to with Hasan is the only type of place Id expect to have good food. I typically go to locally owned restaurants, no chains, especially when it comes to Japanese food. If you want an authentic experience overseas you have to go somewhere putting the time into importing the right ingredients and preparing them properly. I like a single Japanese place back home near Boston. Fresh fish, sushi made right in front of you, and a killer whisky selection. Same thing where I live now there are only two truly authentic places worth going to.

Do you know what that last spot is called?

@leatherwolf7481 3 месяца назад

A place I love going to in washington state is Kizuki: ramen and izakaya. They have a spot in the tacoma mall, and Westfield south center mall. Both locations are top tier and the food is absolutely Delicious.

It's been years since I've been to Yoshinoya (only in California, one was in Az, but closed in a year). But last time I was there, there wasn't any veggies like that unless you ordered it.

@JonnyD000 3 месяца назад

I wish Yoshinoya in Japan included more vegetables. Whenever I've traveled Japan I always felt like I wasn't eating nearly enough vegetables as I do at home.

LA local here, Daikokuya, Shinsengumi and Afuri are very solid for ramen. Sushi would be Sushi Gen and Sushi Fumi. Jbbq is NOT Gyukaku but Anjin in OC. Then the best udon is Monzo right next to Daikokuya. These are definitely some of my fav go-to places for Japanese food

RAMENYA. You need to go to Ramenya and get the Asianya Tan Tan Men. It's the best ramen I've had in my life. I go to a lot of ramen places trying to find it. It's very hard to find a good tan tan men, as you probably already know. I've search Chicago, Portland, and every other city I visit trying to find this and no one can do it like Ramenya. You've got to try it! I forgot to add, it's on Gateway Blvd off of Barrington

Also, as an American born person who grew up in the Midwest, average American sushi is meh compared to what I can get in Japan. For the same price, in my opinion, I can get better in Osaka. So I'm comparing Osaka average sushi to Midwest sushi. The only time I've had sushi in America that I thought was amazing was two specialty omakase places. I'm Boston and New York, so it makes sense. I haven't had sushi in California, and I know it can be better quality than Midwest. But I find that it's so much easier for me to get good sushi for a good price in Osaka than I can in the Midwest, or most of America. Also, America is good at making American style sushi. But I have seems Japanese style sushi in the Midwest. And again, I know the Midwest tends to be lacking more than the West and East Coast. So I'm comparing my experiences between Midwest and Kansai. So I really think it depends from person to person, region to region.

@haruharaharuko1222 3 месяца назад

if you're ever in new york city doing a similar video, Tabata Ramen is a must try. def the best ramen i've ever had, hands down. (as someone who's never been to japan, anyway)

Announcing your haircut in a sponsored section is one way to go about it. Bro jumpscared me because my brain was like, "who is this person" for a moment.

the sushi at that conveyor place looks horrible😩💀😂 I would be SO disappointed. Ludwig's descriptions also make it seem bad even though he was saying they do it right?😭😂

If you're in the South Eastern Desert of CA, try this place called "Sapporo Ramen and Grill." Nice hole in the wall place and the place is always showing shows of cooking in Japan lol

@mikecalvento 3 месяца назад

4:29 Yeah, I know that Yoshinoya. There are others that are better than that particular one. You can also order beef without the veggies. You can also order extra sauce for the beef bowl.

@urpalval88 3 месяца назад

I don't know if it's because I've been watching you for so long. And I'm just so used to seeing you with long hair. That when the commercial part popped up and there was A "you "next to another You ..for just a split second the short haircut you looks like a completely different human.
