Japanese cuisine has expanded all across the world, but how much has Japanese food quality improved overseas? I spent a week in Lod Angeles, California to find out for myself.

with joey's current hair cut, he's really leaning into that bollywood actor look
-
Your first mistake was major chains. In America, the most authentic foreign food are hole in the wall places that look just slightly sketchy and are exactly 3.5 stars. That's the magic right there.
-
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.

This is wild. I was at the Kura Sushi at the Glendale Galleria a few months back and pointed out to my girlfriend a person walking in that from the side looked like Ludwig. Now i am 90% sure that i was there across the restaurant when they filmed that video at Kura.
-
Joey should make this a series imo trying Japanese foods in different countries
-
Seeing Violet Myers on this channel is the most random thing I’ve seen today 😭
-
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.

12:06 they do have those in Japan. My uncle in Yamagata took us to a Kura Sushi where you put your plates in the slot and every few plates you got a chance at winning a gachapon.
-
Should be titled I tried Japanese food in Los Angeles
-
Ludwig: "It's so good" while looking like dying inside lmao
-
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.

not Joey explaining bukkake to Violet💀
-
15:50 lud with the "say it in Japanese i can translate" absolutely killed me off
-
I hate as a fellow Mexican to tell the Mexican girl that burritos were invented in Chihuahua, Mexico in 1910.
-
Was in West LA for a little bit, Sawtelle was my go-to for Japanese food. Shin-sen-gumi and Daikokyua for ramen, Tsujita for tsukemen, Marugame Udon for well udon, Chinchikurin for okonomiyaki (hoepfully they've bounced back from the pandemic)
-
LA 👏 prices 👏 are 👏 not 👏 American 👏 prices 👏
-
The best ramen in Paris is 13 euros for classic version and 20 euros for the chef version (they also win first place in a ramen competition last year), so 17 dollars seems pretty expensive ahah
-
11:58 Joey's never been to Kura sushi eh
-
Dad came back with food.
-
For those like me who wanted the names of all these places in writing: Yoshinoya Japanese Kitchen Izakaya Bizan Kura Sushi Men Oh Ramen Yazakawa Japanese BBQ
