that egg made me cry a little bit on the inside.
annie lee me too and I HATE runny eggs
Portia J Runny eggs are sooooooo GOOOOOOOOODDDDD
Andreiwin ive tried a million times to get over it...i just cant lol They are however aesthetically pleasing
The biggest tragedy is no sauce to dip the egg with, other than the broth.
i love runny eggs.. soo good in soup. honestly, every kind of egg is amazing.
That egg made me sad...it runs just about as fast as a building. I want my $3 back...
Strictly Dumpling 3$ for an egg ?
You could buy a whole pack of eggs with 3$ 😅
Strictly Dumpling
Mike would it possible to come to da Bronx and try Chinese restaurants and compare them to authentic Chinese food
Did you give them feedback? Seems like an easy thing to fix, not that hard to cook runny eggs.
MIKE! what if you made your own Ramen recipe?
I genuinely hope they heard what you said or watched this video so the can get some feedback on how to improve the restaurant!
Not meaning to sound harsh, but it's lunch time on a Sunday and there there is hardly anyone there, that should say a lot about their marketing. I know this is biased to the video but from what I see their focusing more on how much toilet paper there should be rather the pricing and quality of food, it's a ramen restaurant not a toilet roll gallery 😩
I've been to Ichiran in Nagoya, Tokyo, and in Times Square and for me it wasn't quite the same between Japan and NY. The pork and noodle texture was significantly better in Japan but it definitely helped me relive that first experience.
Macie do be hitting the ramen to fuel his 200 IQ plays
you happen to see hibana there?
I can kinda understand the difference between the meat quality between the ichiran in the Times Square compared to japan. I don’t think it’s ichirans fault. The meat quality In America has always seemed worse compared to where I live in Australia.
yo why tf macie jay here
Why if macie here lmao
Just ate here. Prices changed. Recommended set was $24 and Mocha pudding was $8.99
Was it good?
obsidiana07 I just had it yesterday with the recommended set and they fixed the egg problem and it is very good but I recommend medium noodles instead of firm (that’s my preference)
It's still double the price I pay here in Asia (exactly double), I don't think it's that good I've had many a lot better ones before in Japan, I prefer small ramen places. The only special thing about Ichiran is it's open 24 hours here it's good if you work till late.
@@loveislove2359 Wait are you comparing prices to another ichiran recommended set or to a small ramen joint?
@@loveislove2359 bro ichiran ramen is the best in Japan,I went to Japan three times and tried alot of ramen places ichiran is easily still the best for me
That Japanese chef who served you that overcooked Egg has brought 1000 years worth of shame to his family.
How do you know that chef is Japanese
Chevrolet Camaro you don't have to be Asian to bring shame to your family
Bamboo Master fr that's what I'm saying
Kenny Tee lmao I'm Asian and I'm good at maths and when I get something wrong I get shame to my family
Its just how they do the egg in their nyc location
that egg was so disappointing....
GamerThatSucks13 they probably don't make it runny to accommodate general American preference. But it was pretty expensive...
GamerThatSucks13 most expensive disappointment ever
A lot of ramen places in NYC have very runny eggs. This was super dissapointing here.
that egg is like my life.... XD
I'm only replying to this because of your profile picture, as I'm currently playing p5
Nope. Not worth it what so ever. $3.00 Egg? Not even that good? $10.00 for a small dessert??? Overpriced as hell
Equilia it's new York what do you expect
@@veridiumundaunted7978 haa nothing expect from ny
its worth to me imo. I dont like boil egg. i always throw up from the texture and the smell xD
@@veridiumundaunted7978 Well, we have plenty of reasonably priced food as well. So there is no excuse for it to be mediocre.
Its still worth it honestly realistically you’ll play $25 if you get the recommended set they have now and there’s no tip so it’s the same as most restaurants in ny
I went to the one in Brooklyn yesterday and I had to peel my own egg and it was soft boiled.
Looks like they changed it a bit in the 2 years since you went there.
they probably watch his video lol
It’s a good thing that they listen to customer review. I went there also last month and it was good. Expensive though which is not new to me anymore especially in New York
Price Comparison (Japan vs US)
Ramen : $8 vs $19
Kae-Dama : $2 vs $4
Egg: $1 vs $3
Matcha Pudding: $4 vs $10
IKR people are like Japan's so expensive. Meanwhile people in SOFLO and NYC be like....no it's not though xD
@@juliag3461 A large pizza hut pizza cost 36 $ in japan and its pretty much equal to a medium or small in the US.
FR!! I ordered a single pizza for $9 and it was those ones you get for school lunches.
@@silvergunssandwhich1325 What ?
Julia Goldhirsh Thank you you can buy ramen while in America you buy hotdogs with that cash
$3 in philippines you can have 30 eggs, in $38 you can feed my whole neighborhood in ramen, lmao
How u n a neighborhood like that with wifi U must get robbed often
@@deadsilence7319 just because he could feed the whole neighborhood, it doesn't mean his neighbors can't
@@deadsilence7319 What? They didn't say they live in a bad neighborhood. Just that for the crazy price of this ramen, they can get a lot more where they live.
Same here like in Indonesia, south east have a lower price for staple food compare with another country
In Bangladesh 1 ramen bowl costs 400 taka, which is 4.74 dollars...
For $35 it better sing Anime intros and do 35 back flips in a row
😂
And itd better have a cruel angels thesis and one punch man
😂🤣😂🤣
What are you wearing Jake From State Farm!?
I can do 2 at best
12 rolls of toilet paper...
They must have predicted the coronavirus
wAthxlEph I was looking for this comment.
just steal all of them lmao
Same decade?
I guess lol
The Elites have 'predicted' it way before Ichiran.
History repeats itself. As usual, the manga is better.
you're wrong, the subs is better than dubs
dikhetto boi
I just hope they don't make a Netflix adaptation.
ramanuj baruah hahaha
Anime>Manga
Those toilet papers are there if you choose spicy level x20 :D
Right, and you get the "burning ring of fire" :)
Briguy1027 lol brrrrrrrrat
you betcha lmao
imagine serving him and just hearing him talk to ramen like his lover
I like Ramen as much as the next guy but 35$ wow is kind of pricey.
Yep no bowl of noodles is worth 35 bucks.
Damm I can go get a ramen for 1 buck
I live in Canada and the Ramen Shop I go to my Ramrn is like $26 but it doesn’t look nearly as godly as this
@@kyylerentz8021 what restaurant is it?
In Japan Ichiran ramen is ¥850 which is about $8. I get Ichiran every other week when I go out and feeling like getting some ramen.
$35.60 for ramen, and the egg wasn't even correct?? No way.
35 bucks? damm...
Carol Smith that ramen in indonesia only cost $7-$10
there's a ichiran ramen store in indonesia?
Carol Smith LOL
lyhthegreat nope
Watches this while eating 50 cent instant ramen
Me too. Still tastes pretty good tho.
lira glock Lmao😂😂
Would rather imagine and spend 50 cents than spending $50 for something I'm going to eat within a few minutes.
lira glock those packages. You buy 2.5$ bones and boil then for a bit. Then add some vegetables or mushrooms and some meat. I'm sure total it's about 5-6$, you have great ramen!
If you have 2 days to spare, you can certainly make a great ramen yourself
*Sees the egg*
*gasps in japanese*
NANII😮😮
How do you gasp in japanese
@@godzillafart6531 it's a joke
Maybe IDK
He should have sent the egg back. No ramen egg should ever be hard boiled.
Me, not even Japanese: **gasp**
Me: eating
Mike: Look at all the particles of spice just clinging on to those noodles for dear life, swimming in that elixir of fatty broth...
$3 for a hard boiled egg... $10 for dessert? Sorry, not worth the price. I can get an entire meal for that, so disappointing :(
T.C. Williams This is a tourist trap, most tourist areas are overprice. You can get cheaper ramen elsewhere. You are pretty much paying for the experience.
And the name. "Ichiran Ramen" is well known, while "Corner Ramen Shop" may be just as good and a third of the price.
true
yeah a bowl of ramen in san jose is only about 9 bucks!
I can get 2 dozen eggs for $2.40 at the grocery store. Such a scam.
When Strictly Dumpling uploads a video about ramen, my heart skips a beat.
ADD Gamer cause of the fat and cholesterol?

His descriptive qualities are amazing
Had other food vloggers but Mikey is by far the most descriptive and expressive of all. Can definitely taste the food in my mouth just by listening.
overpriced + food less good = lack of customers
in his defense he stated the only major difference was the egg was cooked wrong, and that the ramen was pretty much the same.
If this was $14 like it is in Japan, then they would have a crazy amount of customers however it is understandable since they just open up their first restaurant in America
@@nintee9877 its cos of NYC. Just rent for the building is a lot so they have to increase the prices to make a profit.
deinemuddaisdoof because foods and all the other stuff are imported there from Japan
Food less good? Nah I went there it’s soo good!
The price is why its empty.
Jay Sims and the egg
yeah i have to agree, $38 for that combo is a bit much, but considering it is high quality (minus the egg) i would much rather drive to NY and pay more than brave a flight to Osaka to get Ichiran Ramen.
Even for NY standards that's really pricey.
Even for restaurants in Manhattan where food is pricey, it is pricey.
It was empty because it was a midday Sunday.
The person behind the window is probably like why are u talking about love its just ramen. Nice video tho keep it up!
Let me update, me and my best friends drove to Brooklyn and ate there. It was the best Ramen I ever had. If the Ichrain is better in Japan I'll die.
The egg was actually soft boiled when I went. So they got it together after this video. But it s crazy expensive
Obviously Ichrain is much better in Japan
I'm torturing myself... I'm starving and yet... I can't stop watching 😂😂😭
Gabryela Leonardo same
I really hope the owner of Ichiran Ramen in NY saw this video. The embarrassment of that egg alone is enough to not make me want to go there. That was so disgusting... And they have the audacity to charge people $3 for that??? Fuck that...
Alex Lopez nigga you can get a dozen eggs for less.
Tungchu92 I know, for real!
Jake Go you can probably make better eggs at half the price
Alex Lopez I still want to go, but will never order their eggs.
jus avoid the egg....u cant punish yourself by not goin there just because of the egg
Ichiran ramen is my favorite in Japan! My father is half Japanese and whenever we go visit Japan, we always have to eat at Ichiran. My family is bias towards Ichiran though. My grandfather is British and his first Japanese dish when he moved to Fukuoka was ramen. My grandpa started dining at Ichiran back in early 1971 and he took my father, grandma, and aunt there at least once every 2 weeks soon after. They literally saw my family grow up and I'm glad to see their business expanded as well. However, I was born and lived in NYC most of my life and the taste at Ichiran in Brooklyn is a little different. Not bad by any means, but it's not as amazing as the one in Japan. It's my 3rd favorite ramen in NYC after the extra fatty tonkotsu ramen at Momosan and the tonkotsu ramen at Ippudo.
They've changed and make it exactly the same as they do in Japan now 😍 i cant wait until everything opens back up!
That meal was definitely not worth almost 40 bucks, never.
Xele Nor
When I went to Ichiran in Japan it was around 10-15 bucks
Carrotstache damn the one in The U. S is running high way robbery
Welcome to corporate greedy USA.
C. Ö. wow,we have the same wallpaper lol
$36?? id expect 5 refills at least
DawgFL it is a "no tipping establishment" so think of the price as the added gratuity 👐
Mahogany Black idk why americans are so customed in giving tips
because servers here are paid such a low wage, tips are the only way they can make ends meet.
Even with no tips you still find $36 for a bowl of soup and noodles worth it? Basically with you're logic it was still a $30 bowl of ramen and vastly overpriced i would not pay any more than $12 for something like that.
here in sweden it would be acceptale for a bowl ofnoodles somewhere in the 8-10 dollar range
I go back to this video every year it’s like tradition at this point
I went there last week and the egg looked like the one you had in Japan, and I had to peel it myself. Easily the best Ramen I've ever had.
I could buy 35 packs of spicy chicken instant ramen lol
cheezyllamba true
Dude, a pack is only 0.20 here
Gregorio handy Yep boi i'm in Texas and is true in someplaces
I could buy 175 Instant ramen noodles for that price.
I can get 12 for $1.99 some places here. Sooo yeah I'll pass on this. 😭😭
I WENT THERE THIS WEEKEND CAUSE OF YOU MIKE! (I'm from Montreal) ... and omg was it damn goooood!!!!!!!! i was dreaming of it that night and still am! Your description was what got me excited and you were spot on! Thanks Mike! :)
The price went up since you went, its now 40.40$ for the recommended set. However i decided to skip that and just go with the Ramen with a few extras, esp the extra noodles. My egg looked better than yours did though, guess it all depends. I liked my noodles Firm, as it softened to perfect texture while swimming in the broth :)
@@sammymorini9748 for 40 dollars u can get JW Marriott buffet in India
@@sammymorini9748 is it possible to get ramen without the egg? i dont like egg
Dami Smith you pick and choose what you get
@@damismith9644 then don't eat ramen
I love watching your reviews. I’m drooling all over my keyboard though
He is so happy when he eats!! Makes me happy too!!
For $35.00 I can get two weeks worth of Ichiran Ramen locally at Hong Kong Market.
ListenToPeopleWhoKno wait you have ichiran ramen at Hong Kong are you just talking about instant ramen
Where exactly in h0ngkong brother?
@@forzaferrari9709 that restuarant is somewhere in causeway bay, it is really good
@@bleachboy2269 thank you so much, cause we're going to hongkong this summer
Been to hong kong and had ichiran ramen there. Excellent food !
check out ippudo ramen in manhattan. they will NOT let you down. Ramen with a perfectly runny egg, perfectly tender chashu and a refill will run you around 20$. Its definitely worth the subway ride and the wait
and their pork buns are to die for. Ramen with a second helping with all the accoutrements AND two delicious pork buns for a grand total of 28$ before tax and tip. this isn't even a competition in my book.
Went to Ippudo on my first visit to NYC in January. I've never really had "real" ramen before, as there are barely any ramen places in my city (maybe 3?) and they're all pretty shitty. The tonkotsu broth at Ippudo is what I dream about every night... The egg was perfect and that pork... oh my! I went on a mission in Vancouver (nearby city to me; Asian central) when I returned to find something remotely similar to Ippudo. Nope!
Ippudo is my favorite place. I go there every time I'm in NYC.
The tonkotsu wasn't strong enough. I recommend zundoya instead if you're into rich tonkotsu.
Went there tonight... did not disappoint at all.
I made ramen after binge watching your videos. I don’t like runny eggs so I cooked mine for 8 mins instead of 6 (recommended). I did let it sit in a mixture of soy, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil. It was soooo delicious. I even made the roasted pork belly. Shout out to my local Asian market. Hot pot up next 😩💞
seeing his passion and love for this food is lovely ^^
good god that egg looked terrible
It looks okay. At least not a wimpy egg.
In ramen i couldn't imagine eating a fully hard boiled egg with the yolk like that, especially when it cost $3 for it
worst one i've seen in all the ramen house i've been to
THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS????
$13 is still pretty ridiculous as it is. Jesus Christ, new york
Sputnik eh fuggetaboit it
Alexis Versa yeah, I heard things in New York are expensive.
Sputnik, it's New York, what do you expect?
I like the straight up, what do you expect, questions as if people should know that New York City is expensive by default.
You should see our rent prices lol
I really relate to how passionate you are about Ichiran
Love your videos, took my son to the Manhattan location for its first bowl of this soup. We love it
Oh it sure made my mouth watered when I watch you eat all that ramen goodness but holy shit the price is ridiculous and no wonder the place looked pretty empty for lunch time. :)
Just rewatched your Japan video and noticed that you ordered the strongest amount of flavor. In this video, you ordered medium. So that may be the reason why the ramen in NY is slightly less flavorful than the one in Japan?
Sabrina Wong Yeah.
didn't he go to that place (japan) twice?
Yes I noticed that too
Nah ur wong
Should had read this comment before I posted mine lol
I love how your actually consistent with your food reviews
I tried food there recently and it was amazing. They’re line was so full all the time.
I think your show should really be called "Strictly RAMEN!!!?!!!!!"
U have more videos on RAMEN than dumplings lol !!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😂
Yeah true
Omg I genuinely felt pissed when he cut the egg open. Wtf? #FoodieProblems
Exactly. How hard is it to make a 6 minute egg-and it had not even been marinated, as it should be for ramen
Running eggs make me run away but I dislike hard boiled eggs too. I fancy deep fried eggs, though.
You could've made the comment without the #FoodieProblems
I was just at Ichiran in Midtown NYC and they actually served a soft-boiled egg. You have to peel your own egg as well. Was sooooo good
I'm definitely coming here when I come to New York this summer!
18.90 for ramen, that's like Manhattan price. That explains why it's empty .
Its not empty though there was like 10-12 people inside could be more on other times and the prices are very high so they are still making like 10-20$ in profit on each person , you probably are right because of the prices but rest of new york is generally expensive(not as much) I bet most people just to try it specifically because the price and japan noodle expierence
He was there on a Sunday afternoon. That's why there's not many people there.
@Some Guy It's in Brooklyn
Some Guy it’s in Williamsburg
@Some Guy it's in Brooklyn.
That egg was disgusting looking. You should have sent it back and demanded a new one.
Stefan Lopuszanski I guess you have never seen a hard boiled egg. It should've been runny tho.
I eat hard boiled eggs constantly. I just had 6 today. That is way over cooked. Learn how to cook them right and they make the world of the difference in flavor.
slicvm yea, even for a hard boiled egg that egg seemed too hard
He said it’s a tonkonstu broth egg so it has more flavor absorbed into it
Glad you sort of got to relive your dreamy ramen in Japan. Yum.
😂😂😂😂😂 that harp comment was HILARI🤣US!
You could tell by the chalky texture of the yolk and the gray discoloration around it that the egg was overcooked and old.
If at the very least it was a hard-boiled egg... but no, it was a blatantly overcooked egg. Ew.
???don't know about you or Mike, but that egg looked perfect, runny=undercooked=bad.
he said that it was a tea egg, that might explain the grey colour
@@stapuft If you think a chalky egg yolk is perfectly cooked, more power to you, but runny does not mean undercooked.
@@DumpyFrog it wasn't chalkey it was a tea egg.
It’s a marinated egg ya ding dongs
If you want really good Tonkotsu Ramen for a very good price then I highly recommend a place in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles called "Shin Sen Gumi". Please do a review of that. Price is very good and the quality is very good as well.
nooooo...... u should try silver lake ramen on sunset Blvd.... it's really good and at a really great price
He's in New York now, Mitsuwa Marketplace has Santouka Ramen inside. pretty good quality for the price.
YES. love that place!!!
I agree! Shin Sen Gumi is my go-to anytime I'm in LA. Long wait in the evenings, but it's worth it.
CentralMana I've been to both. While shin sen gumi is super good, this NY place is an echelon above for sure. Still a rip off tho...
I've ordered the Ichiban instant ramen after watching this video and being transported to my experience in Japan. Mmmm!!
Best ramen I’ve ever had is actually outside of NYC. Ramen Musashi in Westchester.
It’s an offshoot of a Japanese grocery store; basically a side cafeteria. Absolutely phenomenal, hole-in-the-wall ramen!
The price to eat in the USA is ridiculous.
Taryn _xoxo or everything is expensive to get
Southern Hemisphere because of demand
Well buying local supplies is different from buying overseas. I bet the Ichiran in New York imports most of their ingredients from Japan hence the price difference.
Its not... in fact ask anybody from another country how much food is given for the price they pay. Obviously if you go to a specialty restaurant in Brooklyn you are going to pay more...
Taryn _xoxo still less expensive than flying to Japan just to eat ramen
$38?!?!?! I'm glad I still live in Japan
Haha, me too!
$38 is not even that much for a meal....Maybe because I live in Ontario, Canada where we pay $50 for 24 bottles of beer, meh.
KingDennisJensen that would be the apocalypse here in germany - we pay around 15 to 20 bucks per 24 bottles fortunately. But then again, maple syrup is crazy expensive.. :D
haha! Well umm....That sucks lol!
Thank god for Quebec, if you live close to it.
Oh my god Same! That was also my first love of ramen! 😭😍😍😍 and can’t wait to eat it again 😭😭 I miss ichiran ramen at japan ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been to Ichiran in Osaka, Hiroshima and Hong Kong and it's been a few years since my last trip to a place that has Ichiran, I agree it's the best ramen I've ever had for the life of me and I miss it each day
That egg was disappointing.. overcooked
Man I can make a better egg than that...
Also wonder if they price hike is because they need to run that other building to make the noodles. Maybe they have a better/cheaper way to make them in Japan because the ingredients are easier to get and process?
2 yrs later after watching this it still wants to make me eat the the osaka ramen and makes me mouth water
Hey Mike Chen I live in Glen's falls new York about five hours away from NY City where is the best place to get any good food going to be visiting new York City for the first time .
The reason it isn't busy is because it didn't meet the expectations of the people, in other words it just wasn't worth the money. Probably wasn't good and overpriced.
It's the price. No one gonna spend more than $15 bucks for Ramen.
$15 bucks that is still expensive for a bowl of ramen. i can go to my local pho restaurant and get a xl bowl of pho for $10 bucks.
Glad to know you found it favorably compared! It's one of the best bowls I've had in the city, for sure. Worth mentioning that tip is included in the price, though. Still an expensive bowl, but definitely helps that you don't tip.
I'm from California, I went to Kyoto Japan last year and stayed for about 7 weeks and in that time period I had gone to ichiran 2-3 times a week seriously phenomenal food!!!! Now I'm back in the States trying to recreate or find some ramen like it, I'm almost depressed that I can't have that flavor again literally debating getting a plane ticket to either new York or Japan just to eat there again
Have you tried Daikokuya ? Just google it
I went to the Brooklyn location a few weeks ago. The food was all perfectly prepared and the prices have come down. 100% worth the trip (I drove 2 hours as part of a graduation trip).
$$$$$ welcome to NY, leave your wallet with the man.
Why the fuck is that so expensive? It ain't even worth it and that egg looked terrible.
The pork look dried out, probably overcooked along with the egg.
Warren R thankfully they fixed everything, and lowered the prices. I was here just a few days ago
That's not an issue with the kitchen. Chashu is all cooked sous vide, with every single drop of moisture in the package retained in the pork, so it's moist anyway. Bitch at the factory, pork that encounters even a single COSMETIC issue is normally relegated to the staff, quality aside. (Staff pork better tho, it's often basically chopped thick and has a real bite)
“and stay away from that egg “ 😭 had me dead
I can just imagine him how would he look at Food Wars anime 😂
Yeah, another Ramen video. Keep these kind of videos coming ^^
Thank you man heading there tomorrow for first time and was woundering the difference between japan restaurant and brooklyn one
I totally agree that Ichiran ramen in Japan was the best ramen I have ever had in my life, I cried knowing I would only be able to have it like that in Japan.
The prices in the US is insane lol
CharismaticEnigma121 This is a tourist trap, not the entire US.
CharismaticEnigma121 it's even more expensive in the uk and not as good
you can get a good bowl of ramen for under $10 in different shops. $2 refills too.
nah, 16 quid for akamaru special in london at ippudo, add a kaedama thats 18 pounds max, its cheaper than ichiran in the US, and its great with RUNNY EGGS.
Eddie Winchester whereabouts is it in london? No good ramen spots near me but Londons only a short train journey so can easily get there
Way too expensive for just a bowl of noodle and that egg?! No no, I think I'll have phở instead.
canuck21 pho restaurants in the u.s are worse
canuck21 pho real me too
Relco12 pho in Vietnam is unbeatable
Poot Poot if the pho are in sanitary restaurants then yeah but nothing beats homemade
Relco12 noo they are not go to a good quality one and you will have the best pho ever
The real question: Does he chew before swallowing?
I'm want to check this place out but does anyone know where it is located?
Have you been to Ivan Ramen in NYC? Interested to hear your thoughts on it.
i guess the egg wasnt runny bc for some reason americans are always afraid of getting soalmonella of everything that is a bit raw xD
Fabienne you're right. If you didn't know, salmonella resides on the shell, so the runniness has nothing to do with it.
I tried to order soooo many times half cooked eggs in america and they would always say they only sell hard boiled ones bc of salmonella. Salmonella can get into the eggs if you boil them and get a crack through which the conterminated water could get into the egg. If you hard boil them the salmonella gets "cooked off"
I have never had issues getting runny eggs in European counzries except in spain
it depends on how long it was boiled. b/w 6-13 mins will get you a nice runny *soft* boiled egg. what mike got was a *hard* boiled egg
I think there are food safety regulations that require eggs to be cooked at a specific temperature in some states?
jojocapy this is also a possibility
I went to the Ichiran in Times Square after seeing Mike’s vids and wow it was amazing! Probably way closer to the Japanese version than this one.
Mikey..have you ever been to Chinatown downtown Toronto..also please tell us where we can but these ingredients..we have a fairly new international students staying in glace bay, hs and I believe they deserve some noodles.. I would learn and run it
Wth is that egg?! Never been to a Japanese restaurant and been served that kind of egg. I cried. 😰
my girlfriend cant even screw up an egg as much as that was... even if intentional
you wish :D
What about the extras you had in Japan? Seaweed etc did you pay extra for them? Or was it included?
hi! is only pork available or are there different types of ramen?
Hey Mike, there's a Go Go Curry in NYC now. You should compare that to the one in Japan too :)
Go Go Curry Rangers...
I went to the ICHIRAN in New York and the ramen was so delicious. Ofc I’ve never tried the one in Japan but the one in New York was the best ramen I’ve ever had 🤭
The egg part and Mike’s disappointing reaction 🤣. I wish Mike said Nani Kore?!?!?!
I'm going to the spot in Japan...with the price of the ticket, hotel stay AND quality of the food there, Mike has convinced me I would get a more amazing food memory in Japan. It's all about the food memory, village.
