    "This must be the best I have ever had"…..every vlog he says that…. 🤔
    It means nothing coming from his mouth anymore.
    Even a burger from McDonalds its "the best I ever had"!

    Do you know all chains of the ramen restaurant’s broth soup are chemicals blends. Cheap so profitable. The big business man in Japan talks about it all for profit but it is just the same as Macdonald. Nothing can be wrong I guess in the corporate US world. Just your choice to make where to eat out. If is our responsibility. I go to support the local Ramen shop seems like really cooking them in NYC!!!

    awesome video! A lot of people hate on ramen chains but there is a reason they were able to expand so much. We still like both chains and mom and pop restaurants. We reviewed a few on our channel.

    I dispise ichiran, the booth concept is neat but the food quality is terrible. You get a sliver of pork, noodles and nothing else for about 900yen+ meanwhile at other shops, I'm getting an egg, bamboo, etc for the same price and overall better experience. Smh

    You should try Tatsunoya. They're from Kurume, but there are two locations in Tokyo, hopefully they're as good. Better than Ippudo IMHO, where I've had inconsistent experiences (although at their best, they were great).

    Ichiran nowhere near the best in even Kyushu let alone Japan🤣 Oh and I just came back from Kyushu yesterday …try Shin Shin for a start and you won’t go to Ichiran again and there is always a super long queue waiting at Shin Shin Ramen. Same goes for Ippudo just like Ichiran …

    100% agree with your verdict here Mikey. We're on the last day of our trip today, and out of Ichiran and Ippudo, Ichiran was so much better. Wasn't even close.

    I used to be 100% Ippudo over Ichiran, and while I still don't love Ichiran, I have to say I also don't love Ippudo as much as I did before. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel like something has changed compared to pre-COVID times. Not talking about the menu, but just the taste in general. Maybe it's because I recently moved on and prefer more lighter broths like beef or chicken ramen, idk. I went back to Ippudo for the first time since COVID started and it really just wasn't the same…
