In Japan it’s a convenience store food for around 3-4 dollars.. But i dont mind them making it a trend. It’s their 15 dollars. Like cup noodles suddenly becoming a popular in instagram and not just to college students.
Well there are over 10 million people living in L.A. so of course there will be many idiots but also many sensible hard working everyday people. You can't lump everyone together over a few trendy moron hipsters.
An actual good egg salad sandwich isn't easy to come by, a pork cutlet can be involved in making, Japanese omelets aren't made in a traditional north American way. We are talking layers of omelets that are all perfectly cooked. Eggs overcook very easy.
Its funny the way pepple describe items thats been around and its new to them but certain people make it seem like they discovered it and thus its a now new thing to those people when its been done for how long and talk with lack of info that sounds like they add their personal ideas which misleads people.

I'm japanese and I'm struggling to make sense of what makes this generic looking sandwich that costs like $15 "japanese". Oh right, they put mirin in it 😏 This is a glamorized convenience store food that you can get in japan like 3 bucks. Higher quality? please lol
LA native here. No, we're not obsessed with a Japanese sandwich that costs $15 at some trendy fusion place. Real people in LA know you can buy one for about $3-5 at a local Japanese grocery store.
Seriously! LA here as well and you can get these and a ton of other versions at your local jspanese market for a fraction of the cost. This is weird and disappointing. I love looking for new interesting places in LA but this misses the mark.
How many Japanese grocery stores are there in LA? I've only seen the ones in Little Tokyo and a Mitsuwa in Torrance. I feel like there's more down here in Orange County
😂🤣🤣🤣 they like the box , the way they sell them in Japan in a cute little box ( like they do a lot of things there in cutesy little things) In LA it’s all about the packaging and presentation as well 🙄 .

Like in the olden days! I bet her parents bored her to tears telling her all about how they had to peel their own eggs when they were young. There wasn't any of these crazy fancy egg peeling machines you see nowadays......wait
I used to work at a chain-diner. Our hard boiled eggs came in pre-cooked and swimming in some cloudy liquid. I'd much rather know that the kitchen peels each egg by hand than think about the cold, overcooked eggs we had in the kitchen.
Yeah, I can make something like that for less than $1 Edit:US makes everything expensive as shit I mean look at Apple They spend $100-$200 To make an iPhone X then sell it for $1000 Profit margins are ridiculous in US
"each egg is painstakingly peeled by hand"...ma'am how else are they supposed to do it Edit: wow thanks for the likes and the interesting ways of how to peel eggs on the replies lol
Most restaurants order hard-boiled eggs which are already shell free and kept in a liquid of preservatives. If you check the ingredients in the liquid...you would never eat them again.
b-b-but... these “japanese style sandwiches” are a japanese twist on american sandwiches lol. Genius to sell these “back” to gullible americans for as much as $15

The Psychic Cell Phones Well, the “culture” of these sandwiches is that they’re mass-produced and sold in every convenience store in Japan, so... Nobody is really infringing on sacred ground, here. They are paying a lot for cheap sandwiches, though. 😆
Dj Ghoul TOUCH, how much was the flight to Japan? ;) That is the thing with these sandwiches as you won't find the same thing in most places in America. So they are special here but whether they are worth what they are charging is a different matter.
The difference is your mom just threw that together with no sauce, and didn't care how the egg was cooked. And it was gross. People pay extra for good food. How is that surprising??
Jaja Jinks oh??? And you’ve tried my moms cooking? And what I’m saying is that this shit has been around and I’ve always been eating this and it’s good. But people then thought it was gross. Nowadays, once a dish gets popular on Instagram suddenly everyone agrees that it’s good regardless of what they thought before
I've lived in LA...all my life. I'm Asian. I consider myself a foodie. This is not an LA Food Obsession. I know this kind of sandwich, because I'm Asian. But nobody's going crazy over them. Really.

Love how they act like this sandwich and the way they make it (especially the egg cutter is super glamorised - I have the same one at home) is so revolutionary it should cost 15$ like you couldn't make it at home
Not in LA. Only in silver lake (hipster central) where they have no money and no sense. Can get legit authentic Mexican tacos from a taco truck for $1.25 in the valley.

@@eri_noemi1462 But you're kinda making his point for him. How can a city of several million people be obsessed with these sandwiches if these guys have never heard of them, especially if this supposed obsession is being generated by one cramped lunch counter style carry-out place that just opened a few months before your comment?!? 😁
Let me get this straight... I pay $15 for a sandwich and I have to go inside a restaurant filled with hipsters wearing novelty frames and big stupid hats? No thanks.
The Kinokuniya bookstore at Bryant Park, NYC has a smalle cafe upstairs. They sell Japanese food for pretty cheap; a sandwich combo with two pork cutlet sandwiches and four egg sandwiches is about 7 or 8 dollars. They also have curry，sushi, beef bowl, etc.. I wouldn’t recommend specifically going out of your way just for that cafe, tho. Maybe if you’re going to Elsie Fest and need to grab a bite.

Just like the peanut butter and jelly restaurant lmfaoo plus how you gonna say it's a Japanese sandwich when there's a bunch of white people working there😂😂
I swear, LA is always obsessed with simple and overly expensive foods. Tried Pink's hotdog because of the hype, not even worth the price. Avacado on toast? I can make that at home. Theres so many of these overly hyped foods...Guess its just the social media/instagram influences around here.
1 restaurant
10 people= LA is obsessed
Exactly what I thought hahaha
😂😂😂
😂
New restaurant = LA people are obsessed
Lol is everyone in LA lack basic cooking skills that they are impressed by a damn omelette sandwich?
welcome to millennial gen
Yes LA is a shit show
Well, I am. I can't make a basic sandwich.
@@leesteal4458 sad.
Lee Steal yikes
Obsessions don't last long. Next up: Taiwan grilled cheese....
Funny you say that...
Hell no be those south Korean breakfast sandwiches with sugar looked damn good 😂
Best egg salad sandwich I ever had was in Taiwan.
*'Eggs painstakingly peeled by hand."*
*Me:* in the AM toast in one hand peeling egg with the other hand.
Bye.
peel them with feet, that's the real pain.
SunRae* ** try peeling 2200 a week
@@sarat8577 buy an egg peeler maybe then?
Just because it’s Japanese doesn’t make it worth the price nor does it make it suddenly the best food
Hipsters....
How much is it?
People want it for the aESthEtiC and not because they actually appreciate and respect Japanese culture.
The Psychic Cell Phones Well, the “culture” of these sandwiches is that they’re mass-produced and sold in every convenience store in Japan, so... Nobody is really infringing on sacred ground, here.
They are paying a lot for cheap sandwiches, though. 😆
Dj Ghoul TOUCH, how much was the flight to Japan? ;) That is the thing with these sandwiches as you won't find the same thing in most places in America. So they are special here but whether they are worth what they are charging is a different matter.
Oh so when my mom packed this into my lunch in elementary school it’s gross but now it’s trendy?
Literally
The difference is your mom just threw that together with no sauce, and didn't care how the egg was cooked. And it was gross.
People pay extra for good food. How is that surprising??
Jaja Jinks oh??? And you’ve tried my moms cooking? And what I’m saying is that this shit has been around and I’ve always been eating this and it’s good. But people then thought it was gross. Nowadays, once a dish gets popular on Instagram suddenly everyone agrees that it’s good regardless of what they thought before
@@sillaykara6245 how often does your mom make these sandwiches to you?
@@sillaykara6245 welcome to pop culture my friend
Tired of your normal egg salad sandwich? Try the new egg salad sandwich GENTRIFIED!
InnerTemple Haahaahaa.......golden !!!
Thank you.
No crust!
No, LA is not obsessed with this whatsoever lol
@Kody Choates Why are you commenting on someones look for no reason?
Kody Choates I eat McDonald’s, I’m ugly as shit, LA is still not obsessed, but kody choates is sure as hell TRIGGERED AF lol
Lyssa thanks gorgeous 😂❤️
@Lyssa no she is ugly HAHAHAHAHA

"Fun little egg slicer"
Is a totally normal egg slicer that unusual in LA? 😅
I wanna try these so bad!!!! The egg omelet looks so delicious 😭😭😭
It's egg with white bread not hard to make
Try dicing hardboiled eggs and mixed it with mayonnaise. I think that what it is. Btw, its delicious.
You're not the only one.
You can make your own. I did.
It going to cost you 15$ cause that what it cost
I've lived in LA...all my life. I'm Asian. I consider myself a foodie. This is not an LA Food Obsession. I know this kind of sandwich, because I'm Asian. But nobody's going crazy over them. Really.
Basically an egg sanga that we have here all the time in Oz with a Japanese cutting
A pork cutlet sandwich on wonder bread for 15$ 🤣... Hipsters.
Lol no, I have to say it seems simple but it's not a regular sandwich like you would ever find in the US. You just don't simply see these kinds of ingredients/bread unless it's in a Japanese sandwich. These people are definitely flipping out to hard but they are good. Especially ones from Lawson lol
@@fourthpanda Yeah, the ones from Lawson and 7-Eleven are dope. I had a variety pack of sandwiches from Lawson, will never forget the flavor. Goes well with beer too.
I can go to a local Asian restaurant and get 2 pork katsu cutlets over rice with vegetables for 10 bucks.
Just wanted to give context.
@@fourthpanda it's simple and it's a regular sandwich, over hyping and overreacting it's the reason why it's popular and pricey. they are delicious tho
@@fourthpanda did you copy and paste your comment?
All these people have the same annoying nasally accent.
It's called vocal fry if I'm not mistaken. That's how most LA People talk 🙄
alice333 no its not
immigrant503 I have that voice too and I cringe at even the thought of listening to my own voice recording 😖😩😆
I have actually figured this out. You kind of block the airways in your nostrils to lessen the smell of smog. Natural defense
And like? End all of their sentences, like, with a question mark?
I promise you, we in La are not obsessed with these sandwiches.
Also the reviews for this place on yelp are pretty bad
egg sandviches in generall taste really good especially when u find that one recipe.
Mine is toasted Mexican bread "telera", black peper and salted egg, mashes with onion and garlic refried beans, toped with guacamole, and mexican cheese "Queso fresco" and 2 pickled jalapeños it is yum
Egg tastes nasty to me
@@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840 eggs are so versatile, they're like the potatoes of proteins
Ikr
It’s still good with the very basic of ingredients
If there’s a chick with a beanie and prescription glasses eating there, save your money !
Joke's on you! Those aren't prescription
h z that is what I wanted to say , was trying to make it short
That one customer nailed the secret: “They do one thing and they do it very well.”
Hear that McDonalds (and every other fast food restaurant)?! Get back to your basics!!
Thanks for the tutorial gonna make it at home now
Love how they act like this sandwich and the way they make it (especially the egg cutter is super glamorised - I have the same one at home) is so revolutionary it should cost 15$ like you couldn't make it at home
Fr, the cutter is at most 2 dollars so even the “uniform” taste of the egg can be achieved at your own house lol
Only in LA are people stupid enough to pay 15 bucks for an egg sandwich
And they have EIGHT employees
Especially with a high cost of living 😂
Not in LA. Only in silver lake (hipster central) where they have no money and no sense. Can get legit authentic Mexican tacos from a taco truck for $1.25 in the valley.
I love how clean cut and tightly packaged they are
Have these people never heard of lady finger sandwiches lol. My grandma made them all the time.
anita balaski naaa man it doesn’t have a fancy enough foreign name....basically lady fingers are not Douchey sounding enough for these mental giants
I still remember having my first konbini pork katsu sandwich when visiting Japan more than a decade ago. It had a little wasabi on the inside of the bread. It was a revelation.
So LA is obsessed with Eggsald sandwich 🥪 👌 ok whatever
Been to Japan over thirty times over the years and the sandwiches are so good! These look delicious too.
Been in LA my whole life and this is the first I’ve heard of this sandwich
As someone who lives in L.A., I can guarantee you no one is obsessed with those sandwiches.
it's somehow quite satisfying to watch la hipsters get scammed...
I made this today, exactly as the recipe posted online, and I can say that this is without a doubt an egg salad sandwich.
10 bucks can get you a full meal and these people want to spend it on a sandwich sliced in 3
Maybe if you go to walmart rofl.
ye but they do cut off the crust.. so u know 🤷♂️
@@Gervaj79 or any good taco spot. You live in la fucks sake
@6:13. Other sandwiches are garbage...
Until you bite into a banh-mi.
and its just 1 USD
Pretentious crap..these guys are just crazy
she has probably bought one of those garbages. how will she know
BodegaBay Was gonna say, and they are still under $5.
I literally live in L.A and I’ve dead ass never seen anyone eating them. I wouldn’t call people obsessed
Yeah .
La is sooo obsessed..i live in LA and am an uber driver...have never even heard about this
No it isn't. People there crave tacos and burritos more than anything there.
And Korean bbq
I do love street tacos.
I want taco so vad
Ah man I love たまごサンド so muchhhh it is one of those foods that deserves to be known all around the world, honestly
Also lmao @1:11 the way she pronounces カツ has me dead 💀 💀💀
Fr 😂
Lol the cat-sue.
Cat soup
@ZULU MATUBU weirdo
Ok mr. Samurai
I’m in la and I am not obsessed with overpriced sandwiches. Next.
こんなお店がアメリカにあるのが驚き‼️‼️ それにしても美味しそうだ。
セブンイレブン行ってきます💨
You have a restaurant for sandwiches that you find in department stores and 7-11 ? How american
It's California, everything's expensive in California
It's called Konbi... It's a Japanese themed restaurant... Nobody said it was "american" style.
@@RikkuTakanashi really man ?! This is not what I said , my point was that these sandwiches mostly you get them in department stores and 7-11 so you don't need to have a fancy restaurant !
@@ahmedsallam1179 I've never seen that specific kind of egg salad sandwich in a department store or 7-11 here. It also depends on the quality of the ingredients and the level of safety. A sandwich from 7-11 here isn't near as safe as one in a japanese 7-11. But eh.
صبح صبح
Me, a Japanese person who’s been eating this for years: c:
Incredible! An egg salad sandwich! Definitely worth the price & definitely can’t make it at home. /s
Millennials: I can't afford to pay off my student loans! I can't afford to have kids!
Also Millennials: Lemme take a photo of my $15 egg sandwich on my new iphone XS to post on instagram.
Imagine thinking out of touch influencers represent all "millennials"
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
wait we are? i’m still on that hot chicken wave i live off it
Howlin Rays?
@@eddieru no way i gotta try it out!!!!! And if the wait time is less then 2 hours im there!!!!
24 7 sometimes i’m in and out of there in under half an hour!!
James Franko black chefs? are you talking like the chefs here? 99.99% of hot chicken places here are owned by armenians
I don't even catch with the hot chicken wave vrah
I used to make these for myself, I never thought someone would make a restaurant and jab up the price 10 fold.
Markup... The secret to most successful businesses.
2:42 Why not do the under water pealing trick? Such a time saver opposed to pealing each by hand.
JRAS Smith
He gets paid 15 bucks an hour to peel eggs, so the slower he does it the better.
@Didier Depardieur That's actually a really good point.
I eat this sandwich so I can post it on Instagram for all my followers.
After that I head to Starbucks with my over priced mac book so I can complain about how life is tough and Orange man bad
John Smith don’t forget not understanding why your gender studies degree didn’t lead to a 500k a year job.

Best comment ever :)
i live in LA and have never seen these in my life. People love to lie.. just too publicize..
I agree
same here lived in LA for 10 yrs and I enjoy going out to eat at fancy places. Never seen these / never heard of them
Same
To be fair, they said they opened a few months ago. So it's still new.
@@eri_noemi1462
But you're kinda making his point for him. How can a city of several million people be obsessed with these sandwiches if these guys have never heard of them, especially if this supposed obsession is being generated by one cramped lunch counter style carry-out place that just opened a few months before your comment?!? 😁
“Painstakingly peeled” lmao
Let me get this straight... I pay $15 for a sandwich and I have to go inside a restaurant filled with hipsters wearing novelty frames and big stupid hats?
No thanks.
Burial 🤣🤣🤣🤣
not to mention the sandawish look small af
"high quality ingredients done right" or "high quality ingredients made well" If I hear that one more time....
"High quality ingredients" mate it's an egg and some bread 🤣
cheese doesn’t belong on sandwiches... riiight. next LA will be obsessed with village cooking from an empty lot in the hills
I made this when I was like 8, what's the big deal
Nothing, just retards buying into overpriced fads .
I made this at 1 year. Is this baby food?
GANJA BEAR , YOU DIDNT GET A MILLIONAIRE WITH IT ! THATS THE DEAL ! 😆✋👐
Because they are not you and you are not them. What an idiot
indeed, my old school cafeterias sandwich. was good to be a child.
Ok but like I live in LA and I’ve never ever heard of this 😂
The Kinokuniya bookstore at Bryant Park, NYC has a smalle cafe upstairs. They sell Japanese food for pretty cheap; a sandwich combo with two pork cutlet sandwiches and four egg sandwiches is about 7 or 8 dollars. They also have curry，sushi, beef bowl, etc.. I wouldn’t recommend specifically going out of your way just for that cafe, tho. Maybe if you’re going to Elsie Fest and need to grab a bite.
