HOW TO ORDER RAMEN: Step 1. Select your ramen of choice and get ticket from the vending machine | Step 2: Give ticket to the chef and wait for your ramen to arrive
» THE RAMEN
1. AOBA GAKUGEI DAIGAKU: Classic Tsukemen (dry ramen)
ADDRESS: 2-21-14 Takaban, Meguro-ku, Tokyo
OPEN: 11AM - 11PM
🍜BROTH: The broth includes shoyu, kelp, pork for richness, and most importantly, niboshi (dried boiled fish - sardines or anchovies).
NOODLES: The broth is typically prepared first due to the amount of time it takes to prepare. The fresh noodles are boiled for a short period and placed in a bowl separately from the broth. The toppings go in last, on top of and into the broth.
💸PRICE: 8.59 USD/950 JPY

🍜ZENTORO MABOMEN (SPICY TOFU RAMEN): You need douban (fermented broad beans and chili paste) and douchi (fermented black beans) to make this dish. It’s meant to be spicy and almost sticky. There should also be minced pork. Add thick ramen noodles to the mabo-dofu dish.
🍜SANRATANMEN (HOT AND SOUR RAMEN): Black pepper, red peppers (tougarashi) and a sourness from vinegar come together in the broth. Toppings include wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu. Thinner noodles are used here.
🍜CHICKEN RICH RAMEN: They use high-grade chicken with a lot of collagen. The broth is comprised of several vegetables, which are blended into the thick and creamy chicken broth. Add some lemon for acidity.

Daisen is a mountainous area in Tottori, famous for its high-grade chicken. The soup includes roasted beef ribs and sardines. In addition to the standard egg, green onion, kamoboko (fish cake), and seaweed toppings, they sprinkle on fried garlic. The noodles are thin and straight.

🥒ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. People either enjoyed my undeniable charm or enjoyed watching me eat things like coconut worms, and thus Best Ever Food Review Show came to be.
I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer. If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

Thank you so much for the collab, Sonny! Come back to Tokyo for some more ramen! (I can always have one more bowl...)
Thanks for the carb coma. Totally worth it!
Hamm
I must say you are totally pleasant, mild mannered and very knowledgeable. Do you have a mixed Japanese blood btw?
And Sonny can always have one more highball.
Subbed Frank, but you gotta make more vlogs, don't let brother Stiggy have all the limelight.
I love the part where he offers to share. These guys were vibin
That cool
That cool
That cool
That cool
That cool
I love how Franks like yeah dude this pesto cheese ramen is super unique and he just goes nahhhh I'll take squidink
I heard cheese and was like 👀you are going to eat that
I’ve lived in Japan for four years and I remember finding my favorite ramen shop ever in Meguro. I’ve had hundreds of different ramens at this point and this chicken broth ramen (being I believe my second ramen I’ve ever tried) has always been the best. The combination of the broth with the noodles and toppings were perfect for me and I screamed when I saw that you guys covered it in the last ramen shop. It’s amazing and I always recommend it to anyone. To think I found that place by accident with my friend while we were waiting for another friend who was running really late.
Watching this in the middle of the night was a bad idea
jeithhnsm tell me about, I got hungry watching this and I just start eating chips, but that doesn’t satisfy my hunger for the ramen in the video 😭
@@vanlian8585 Ikr, I wanna do a super loud slurp 😭
Oh shit i did it, it getting worse because i skip my dinner 😂
Well, I'm a midnight toker and I almost ate my shirt after while watching this...
Starving bro😢
3,000 - 4000 Ramen Shops in Tokyo alone?! That's like 1 ramen shop a day for 10 yrs! And there is still Sapporo, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Nagasaki, etc... If I win lotto, I gotta at least stay there for 5 years and try to taste them all. :)
Youre going to need a noodle buddy, and i volunteer. 2 Ramen shops for 5yrs...we can do this!
Me too add me in with those dam noodles 3.3 years for the three of us
Too bad you’ll probably have a heart attack about 10% of the way through!
yer right. tried atleast 2 dozen ramen shop in Japan (Tokyo, Nara, Osaka, Niseko, Chitose) its mind boggling to think how many ramen shops esp if you happen to pass by a single Street in Tokyo..but of that 4000 shops, you might encounter some band wagoners Ramen shops...
?
I love the part where Frank offers to share. He is so humble guy!
“Black as night , darker than my heart “😂
Was looking for this comment😂😩
Frank is a very great guest/partner. A ramen expert indeed. His choice of words to describe each bowl is really what a Ryan Reynolds of ramen would say. Gotta say, one of my fav videos of yours! Big fan since 2016! Excited for your future videos. 😸💪🏻🍜🍥🥢🥃
He even sounds like Ryan
Maybe a Collab of Frank and Ryan would be fun, gin and ramen is fun
Ramen Reynolds
🤣
Broooo 🤣
Ha😐
Holy shit. 😂
Sonny, you can shut down the comment section down now. We've done it, we've reached the peak. The project is complete.
"Oh man it's so firm and hard and feel so nice"
**slurpslurpslurpityslurp**
"Oh yeah...more !"
Everyone else around me: o.O what the f**k are you watching man !?
Yep!
🤣
Moron. In Japan and related Asian countries, it is and can be considered *****incredibly rude & ignorant**** not to slurp as it shows appreciation to the cook.
In Japan if you don't slurp - which is considered a show of appreciation to the cook - you are considered rude & ignorant. So nobody would be staring in Japan.
Why do I always watch this type of videos when I am hungry..
Do you know what's illegal? Many people just eat the noodle, not drinking the soup and all let them throw away, especially in North America. The soup is where all the hardwork is.....and people just not finishing it.
Simon C especially in North America? You do know plenty of people in Japan just don’t finish the broth, sometimes it too heavy for example, with tonkotsu.
@@plorin3015 well, it's just sad to see food get wasted, especially when the chef pour their heart and soul to make that delicious soup
Simon C Yeah, I guess so. It’d be cool if somebody made something like fried rice with it like in some Korean places.
Lol dude nobody in Japan drinks the soup
@@ironpython1492 what do you mean? It's normal view in japan seeing people drink the soup right out of the bowl once they finished the noodles
Thanks so much for watching! Follow me on Instagram for more fun food videos! @InstaSonnySide

Hands down my favorite Japanese comfort food. It's a complete package that leaves you full and satisfied.
Hi Sonny, I've recently found your channel and it has become compulsive viewing in my house and I'm working my way through your back catalogue. I recently watched an episode where you mentioned that you were over 300lbs at one point and how you turned your life around and I want to say that you are an inspiration to me as I'm 6ft1 and 360lbs and have changed the way I eat and see myself after watching your show. I've lost 13lbs in a week. Keep up the good work buddy, all the best from the UK 👍
@Gimpy Dee. Best of luck. Keep going don't stop. Best if you search for best quality foods - organic wherever possible.
@@naturegirl8104 Thanks, I fully intend to continue and eat properly. All the best 👍
It all starts with diet! As long as you are in a caloric deficit you will lose weight, but I do recommend walking as well. I recommend looking at Mike Rashids losing 100lbs series for motivation. Good luck!
@@shake4259 thanks for the advice 👍
@@BestEverFoodReviewShow thanks for the advice, I can't wait to get laid again lol 😁
"So put on your pants with elastic waistbands because we're eating big in Tokyo Japan" 😂😂 alright Dr. Seuss
That was impressive nonetheless
Still waiting on the mixtape
4:05 “your a good slurper”
And I oop-🤣😳
Truly the best ever food review show 😂 you literally enjoy watching every bit ... the kinda food you show us, how it’s made, the ingredients, and the comments it’s all perfect
I ate instant ramen while watching this...make it feel better taste of mine
I'm gonna make some ramen and rewatch this.
i feel guilty but same....
Same....!!
It's 2.53am here and I'm salivating while watching this, so hungry now!! 😩
8:33 You're like the Deadpool of noodles … Best Line Ever!
I'm always amazed by the camera work, video editing, production value … everything is always top notch!
All of your videos is worth to watch! Never in one time i get bored watching it. Your voice, energy and the quality of the video is thumbs up!❤️ Me and my husband are super entertained❤️ may God bless your team and more power🤗
The slurping gives SO much extra flavour to the dish! It is not just for effect. Sonny slurps a bit messy, but the effect is the same. And, it is a compliment to the chef, or so i am told.
It is not a compliment to the chef
Oble then what is it
An ex girlfriend swore eating food with mouth open enhanced the flavor lol
@@JozlynMoon They say it's just a habit that they picked up from young cuz their parents and many other people do it, and they never questioned it. Some are taught from young that slurping is rude, or they find that it's rude when they grow up because the soup is more likely to spray when slurping, but non-slurpers are the minority here. I live here, and every single Japanese person I've asked says that the "it shows respect to the chef" thing is bullshit they've never heard of that until they get asked by foreigners.
@@Oble89 bit late to the party but doesn't the slurping also have something to do with the fact that the food is super hot so its a cooling technique I guess?
I wonder how many New Year resolution diets were broken after watching this video 😂
About 2
😂
Its not fair... its too delicious
Many....I know mine was......again.
What are new year's resolution diets?
The show is just so perfect like the commentary is so smooth, the presentation is clear and the most important, the cameraman has a very good knowledge and I dont see them lacking anywhere. Thats the reason people stick their eyes to every video on this channel.
Loved this Ramen episode !!! Your guest host Frank was a wonderful Ramen Guide. He would be great in more Japanese inspired food restaurants in the future !!!
This is just so pro, so well done. There's been so many ramen expert vids already done, yet this feels so much better than the rest, still new and fresh.
I love your co host his voice is nice to listen to. Would love to go on a ramen tour with him I've never tried it!!
amazingly amazing, cannot believe the talent.. inspiring and meaningful
He literally smiles from his heart 😊
OMG, Sonny and Ramen = AWESOME!!!
FCLnw wut
He was a good co-host, funny and y'all had really good chemistry together. Now, I need a bowl of ramen for breakfast.
I love how you respect every single culture you go to, not much people really appreciate how you respect the culture and I love how you are so cultured. I'm a local to hawaii and although most of us don't like foreigners (because of what happened to our land) But since you are so cultured, so respectful to every place you go, I believe you will be 100% welcome here. You will forever have my respect.
"With the kind of savory wholesome flavor that feels like mom wrapping a warm blanket around you after a long day of snowman building" hit me right in the feels
That mapo tofu ramen is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 😍
Indeed. Wish I had it 😭
Great food video. Sonny, you make everything fun. Who knew you could laugh hysterically over a bowl of ramen!
8:09 😂 this is real pleasure most people loved to have and enjoy the moment ❤
"Black as night...Darker than my heart..." = yes, you keep us smiling with your antics!😎😎😎
the top left corner is usually the most populair ramen of the restaurant
so it can't go wrong if you pick that one
My favorite youtubers List:
Mark wiens: Very Creative
The Food Ranger: Most Honest looking
Strictly Dumpling: Always playing safe
Best ever food review show: Fuc***g Awesome
Moreover anything.. I love the positivity you have got and that’s commendable 👌🏼
I love Frank’s smile😍
We recently went to Japan and it was amazing how quiet it was almost everywhere. So many amazing restaurants! Cannot wait to go back!
the third place looks very good and yummu and different..i dig it
I always love your videos they always put smiles in my face keep up the great work!
Your channel is so good! It is any far from anything cool TLC would produce! The camerawork is GOLD! 🥇🌟😱👌
Tour guide looks like the asian Jerry Seinfeld
Lavar_Ball You nailed it.. With a dash of Gilbert Gottfried.. Tour Guide is very mild mannered and chill than both of those comedians though.
Lavar_Ball omg he is cute
Ryan Reynolds + Andrew Keegan, maybe? :p
More like Fred Armisen to me
I was thinking Jon leguizamo (sp?) But I can see Seinfeld too.
PLEASE make a playlist of ALL the songs used in your vids
Sonny your existence makes me breathe a little easier , keep at it brother - i love your work
Sonny been following you for years. Thanks for the great work. This video is convincing me to join on your channel!
GT
Best ducking vid so far keep it up brother!🙏🏽
I’m Japanese, and what I was impressed with was that both of them did not hesitate to slurp. It seems like they understand and accept our culture.
This day i was reading nisekoi manga and in that it did mention that slurping is ok.......it did feel weird since i was raised to not make any sort of noise while eating......well......this makes me love japan even more and makes me wanna grow up and live in japan....
@@sensei6771 ;-;
Honestly this tour guide is the best you've had
THANK YOU so much for correcting his misuse of "literally."
Wow 😍 The Ramen expert guy is so classy

I’ve been raised on ramen 🍜 so this is My Favorite Favorite episode.

"Very well done"
"Let's see it homie what you got?"
*sluuuurrrp slurp sluurrrrrp*
"Yo they call him Hoover for a reason"
"I took to much on that last one"
My wife: WTF ARE YOU WATCHING?!
Porn, the best kinda porn. Food Porn
Yes, food porn is the best kind of porn
Food porn is awesome 👍🏽and the best part...its legal😃
In Japan if you don't slurp - which is considered a show of appreciation to the cook - you are considered rude & ignorant. And possibly stupid.
Love watching your vids, man. Hoping to try those ramen shops in tokyo someday. In the mean time, i'll enjoy the ramen shops here in the philippines. Ramen lover over here.
Wow you rock it man!!! Love how you introduce the Ramen !!! I will sure to get some!

Very handsome indeed!
Watching at night 😱 im still full but suddenly i want something to eat again
この動画、テンポがいいのか何回も観てしまう。第2弾みたい
We finally have some places that serve pretty good ramen in my little rural city and I'm so happy. It's so much work to make it at home and source the ingredients that I prefer to just eat out. I only wish we had more authentic variety and crazy twists. All of these dishes looked so freaking good.
Are you weeb
This is a professional food show.
Well thanks yo.
Right?! When I first started watching I actually thought it was a travel channel show lol the editing is super professional
Shitty thoughts
Brings great remarks lol
Atlong last you are in tokyo... been waiting for that in years... looking forward to your sushi experience...
