I went to Neta a few months back after seeing a special on munchies and had one of the best meals of my life. The freshness lingered in my mouth long after I left the restaurant which was a new sensation in dining out for me! I actually approached Nick Kim after and said I saw him on munchies and he was embarrassed a bit which I found very funnny! Cant wait to try the new spot!
Henry Kook kinda similar to that JK news article where the oriental restaurant chef was recorded slamming slabs of meat on the concrete to soften it up and it was later used for dinner.
Nah thats just these guys, but really just because these guys pick up herbs off the sidewalk (or whatever) your calling that an asian thing. bruh, this proves you know nothing about asians unless your an asian and you pick up herbs on a sidewalk...
Lance Gallo Properly treated raw fish (as in straight out of the ocean not some dirty lake) in small quantities is actually extremely good for you. The Japanese diet of fish is why they have the highest life expectancies in the world. However like i said you should only eat small amounts as if you eat a lot, and i mean it takes a lot of raw fish, then theres a risk of mercury poisoning-but you would have to be eating really large quantities of fish for that to be an issue.
I remember having an omakase lunch at Yasuda in New York by myself. Everyone else at the sush bar was chatting and just popping this perfect sushi into their mouths, dipping the already seasoned pieces into soy sauce and not really paying attention, while I was just rapturously savouring each piece in heaven. I so wish that I could afford to have sushi like that (and visit New York) more often; it was unbelievably skillfully made and delicious. The gorgeously molded pieces, slightly warmed by the hand and golden from the glaze. Fresh wasabi. The amazing rice and freshness of the fish were so good. A very worthwhile luxurious treat. I also loved that the chef noticed my appreciation and looked every time I ate a piece that was presented in front of me. One day, Shuko!
Another great episode! Great shots, editing, music and interview...Italian/Chinese chefs serving japanese food with riesling and apple pie. whaaaat. love it!
Another Great Episode. I really never though about how uneducated I am until i started watching the Munchies videos. I really need to step up my education game and live more. I am missing out on so much culture and good times. The good thing is, it's not to late. Now I want some Sushi as always.
I just had all you can eat sushi yesterday for my aunts birthday ;-; sushi is soooooooo goooooood. And all the sushi places I go, the sushi chefs are always so handsome :3 lol
RooFooChoo all you can eat sushi sounds like it would be a dreadful version of sushi. These people would have heart attacks looking at that stuff probably.
Been trying to describe what people think about going to a sushi place for years. "Like you're in church" is exactly it, well put. Like you need to apologize to the chef for going there or something. It's not church, relax and enjoy it!
Who wouldn't want to eat Sushi at this restaurant? Excellent episode. Talented Chefs. Well presented. Thank you for sharing this interesting video. Blessings ChefMike
Apple pie and wine! It's awesome these guys are giving their own take on sushi. No half-assed "irrashaimasse" imitations at the door either just for looking asian. Substance > style. If native Nipponjin can come in and be happy with how a dirty Josenjin and Chugokujin are running a sushi restaurant, they must be doing things right!
lol I'm only echoing what I've heard while living in japan. one of the most silently judgmental people I've ever known. Why do you think Nick, who spent quite some time in japan, bothered to mention his japanese clientele in NYC?
lol I went back to the beginning and listened to Nick as he was doing the interview and could hear him slapping the table throughout... can not be uneard
im half way through this video and im really liking it munchies! so much better than the last couple of munchie videos..i know its a dif series but still not what they used to be (saying that im not expecting things to stay the same) not that their bad either still really fun to watch! just my opinion anyways keep the videos coming! for sure my fav youtube channel.

Brothers Green Eats errrrm freshness wouldn’t “linger” in your mouth bro.
LIAR
THIS is what munchies should be about! Great people, Great food, Great passion, Great production!
ODDMIND omg that is what this is you dumbass
A lot of people watching this won't understand how rare it is to see a kitchen staff treated so well
picking herbs on the side of the freeway in places you normally shouldn't is the most Asian thing.

+Henry Kook My Russian grandmother does it
+Henry Kook one thing is for sure: I would never do it, I don't think it's healthy :/
+Derek Stoeckmann exactly
Jimmy is so passionate about his work, you can clearly tell!
the segment about foraging was so interesting
Nick: What's this?
Jimmy: It's poison ivy.
haha
CatcherOfBass
Nick: "hey, try this Jimmy! it tastes like chocolate : ) "
Jimmy : "you're eating poison ivy covered in dog shit, Nick...."
XD
Holy shit....when he scales that fish with a knife....that was insane. makes it look easy
Skill, bro
I don't know why but this episode of munchies makes me inspired. if you are feeling lost in life watch this. Peace!
comparing autumn leaves fallen on the streets of new york to a beautiful salad is the most artistic chef quote i have ever heard
Jimmy is sooooo cute!!! Such a sweetheart.
i love how when he explained that he became a chef because he loves eating there was this guilty look on his face that was super endearingggggg
craving sushi now
101publicenemy Me too. So damn good
+101publicenemy isn't raw fish bad for you?

I love that everyone in the restaurant has a family meal together every day. Great video!
+Zero Strife Quite common in restaurants to do that between lunch/ dinner service.
eating together is what we did back in the day at our restaurants. it made everybody happy
Jimmy Lau seems like an awesome chef
I truly love the foraging part really amazing.
it really makes me happy to see that these people give such attention to their food always nice to see people embracing their craft
Been with Munchies since the beginning, happy to see this show grow.
Another great episode! Great shots, editing, music and interview...Italian/Chinese chefs serving japanese food with riesling and apple pie. whaaaat. love it!

out of THE SUSHI CHEF episodes in MUNCHIES, this is by far my favorite.
I just had all you can eat sushi yesterday for my aunts birthday ;-; sushi is soooooooo goooooood. And all the sushi places I go, the sushi chefs are always so handsome :3 lol
RooFooChoo all you can eat sushi sounds like it would be a dreadful version of sushi. These people would have heart attacks looking at that stuff probably.
funster5031 1 exactly. ayce is utility stuff your face stuff not high quality sushi
First rule in sushi fight club is to stay away from all you can eat sushi young padawan. Same goes for all you can eat korean bbq.
SPIDER MANN you're very passionate about sushi.
***** That doesn't mean it wasn't yummy.
dude the good vibes this place has together is great lol
Been trying to describe what people think about going to a sushi place for years. "Like you're in church" is exactly it, well put. Like you need to apologize to the chef for going there or something. It's not church, relax and enjoy it!
He was talking about how the chefs feel during prep though, not how the customers feel when coming there.
watching this is oddly satisfying and therapeutic
This is actually pretty cool man. I've never seen anything like this, learned something.
Thanks. Will visit next time I'm in NYC
Excellent episode. I love the idea of using the "weeds" as forager greens
Almost 10 years since I've been to Masa...def. one of the best meals I've had...
Little did they know, just five minutes before, a homeless guy peed on those greens..
It adds flavor, thats why he said "issss sowe guud"
hahaha god
Lol yea in front of the cars passing by instead of a public bathroom and the hobo is in a forest like area where people can't give money :D
lol what
+ericascag private property
I like listening to, and watching Jimmy. I see quiet strength.
One of my favorite munchies series along with Keepin it Canada
I think this is the best sushi chef has ever can do than any other restaurants they work harder
"Some parts of the wood need more attention than others." This was strangely inspiring to me.
6:13 I need to have that. Tired of skinning and cutting apples
cb4allstar4 a drill lmao
cb4allstar4 what kind of household doesnt have a drill?
cb4allstar4 13:17
"You don't even know if you are enjoying it because it is so intense" most profound statement ever
this video seems to be waaaaay better than the usual munchies videos!
jimmy seems like such a chill dood
Jimmy seems like the nicest guy you'll ever meet in your life
Who wouldn't want to eat Sushi at this restaurant? Excellent episode. Talented Chefs. Well presented. Thank you for sharing this interesting video. Blessings ChefMike
This was really, really good, Vice. A beautiful episode in a beautiful series on beautiful food. Well done. .... oh, and f... The Fat Prince.
fabulous episode! the foraging part gave a much different twist than other episodes...
Respect these two they came together to do such greatness
beautiful concept, beautiful people! Visiting this restaurant is now on my bucket list
I am from Flemington, NJ! This excited me far too much to see my hometown mentioned.
I really enjoy these videos. Awesome work!
Nice piece..more like this please..less of chefs bar hopping.
Apple pie and wine! It's awesome these guys are giving their own take on sushi. No half-assed "irrashaimasse" imitations at the door either just for looking asian. Substance > style.
If native Nipponjin can come in and be happy with how a dirty Josenjin and Chugokujin are running a sushi restaurant, they must be doing things right!
bassboost that last sentence made me cringe hard
bassboost white people schooling everyone else on what authentic Japanese substance is. awesome.
Fredrick Fedory™. 139 IQ. My iq is 139.5
Yulun He you know he's legit cause he's using words from other language!
lol I'm only echoing what I've heard while living in japan. one of the most silently judgmental people I've ever known. Why do you think Nick, who spent quite some time in japan, bothered to mention his japanese clientele in NYC?
Great production
whats song is played in 11:00? I like that piano jazz
lol I went back to the beginning and listened to Nick as he was doing the interview and could hear him slapping the table throughout... can not be uneard
im half way through this video and im really liking it munchies!
so much better than the last couple of munchie videos..i know its a dif series
but still not what they used to be (saying that im not expecting things to stay the same) not that their bad either still really fun to watch!
just my opinion anyways keep the videos coming! for sure my fav youtube channel.
best documentary yet!
great series! keep it going!
Great episode! I will try to scale the fish like that next time I catch some.
I love the segment about foraging, though it was worrying that they were foraging in a New York park lol.
Awesome Insight, thanks so much
Does anyone know what piano song that is playing when Jimmy and the lady are foraging together?
Impressive how he has so much knowledge of all those plants. Most impressive is how he scales fish. WTF. I gotta try that.
4:48 intimate one on one with the wood...
wax on wax off!
Why are the supposedly english subtitles in german?
dang i wanted to watch more!!
gonna mention the bg music~ blended well with the vid~
I love this guy his so humble I want to work for him.....
I want to eat here, absolutely - but I kind of want to work here too...😳😍
I would love a short few episode show of these guys making tasting menus. Plz host Anthony Bourdain. I think he would love this place.
Right on Nick! U da man braddha. Glad u r doing well. Aloha
what is the song playing at 6:23 ?
clement583 daroode - sandstorm
Andrew H hilarious and original.
Sarude- Danstorm
This was really good
They're just alotta fun
Sand the counter Nick-San! Right the circle, left the circle. Breathe in, breathe out.
Love it!
Do a Chef's Night Out with these two?
I wish they could actually teach us how to make sushi!
I love this sushi chef series..... but its probably cause I LOVE SUSHI!..... Nigiri and Sashimi to the hipsters.
Muito lindo o trabalho de vcs
9:33 so damn korean - coming from someone who experiences this first hand all the time
Nick Kim is my older brothers uncle
my mouth is starting to water now lol
Open wide baby
Jimmy Lau is the OG
Flemington is like 20 minutes away from where I live that's crazy
I love Jimmy.
Jimmy is such a boss
I'm pretty sure what Nick pointed at at 9:12 was garlic mustard, which is edible!
best sushi chef
The foraging part was cool but from central park?! lol
that apple peeling 06:12 omg!
If one gets subtitles everyone should get subtitles!
4:16 - was that an uni taco?
I like jimmy he's cool😎
That's the kid from chef steps!!! Crazy! He works at a bomb ass restaurant. Go figure
do a story on 'PARCO' Barcelona
13:05 (uses knife to expertly scale fish) "How much love you spend on that; you can taste it..." Next scene, guy peels apple with drill.
do a segment called "The Burger Joint:"
I made tuna salad once.
that's mad skill
Huh... Don't forage next to roads it's like the most basic rule of foraging.
What's this? Roadkill on our precious herbs? Ha, just rinse it.
Mostly because they're sprayed by departments of transportation.
It was a thought that might have crossed my mind as soon as I saw the road, aside from that he's an amazingly passionate chef
More of this stuff less of Andy Milonakis
Turns out that the other me can make some badass sushi
