A Day at LA’s Hottest Japanese Restaurant Breaking Down a 137lb Tuna | On The Line | Bon Appétit

[@markkosko6236]

There is a level of humility to his approach that is refreshing, by including his staff in the creative process

[@cwg73160]

This is common in high-end restaurants. It’s not “refreshing”.

Sounds like a great guy and an even better manager.

You have no idea until he is your manager.

[@HonestAbe6991]

I really appreciated the kindness and passion that this chef exudes.

[@hannahgracecline1735]

I love how nothing of the tuna is wasted. The level of care he has for breaking it down was amazing to see. This is how we should be treating the food we eat.

[@aminakuylen1560]

one of the best episodes in this series the appreciation for the fish and all other elements is amazing. the spirit in the kitchen is so pure and peaceful!

[@flpn2275]

Love how he holds himself accountable for his team; leads and encourages his team. Been a very long time since i have worked under someone like him. May he continue to be prosperous.

[@allofthisandmore]

Rohan smiling and waving at the camera just made my day. 😍

[@killertaco26]

It's insane how much skill, knowledge, and technique goes into breaking down the tuna

[@nixneuesvonnik]

really love how he is taking his time explaining the process of nose-to-tail processing the tuna for beginners. no exaggeration to say this is the best food video i have ever seen. will use this as a basis for my Christmas dinner this year. thanks!

[@brandonshea1521]

I love the open fire concept. He sounds like an amazing person.

[@juneslocker]

the whole vibe of this team is professional and wholesome! when rohan turned, waved, and smiled when his name was told at the end :>

[@jped2]

The flower pot over the head of the tuna is brilliant!

[@richardboholst8319]

You can feel through the screen that he's so charismatic and passionate about what he does!

[@vert2278]

the purest chef ever...not everything need to be traditional love that

[@corgeousgeorge]

Loved learning about the whole fish processing and how he has helped the fisherman to bring better product to their customers through his japanese technique of bleeding out and having the spine ended.

[@michaelfouladi4961]

Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about his craft, but he’s also passionate while remaining humble. I’m not surprised whatsoever that his suppliers and staff all get along well with him. Great vid

[@blamb9977]

6:00 I love the reverence and worship that this chef has for the Tuna. Top quality chef and person to do so

[@mokajones74]

The anatomy facts he dropped were so interesting. I've never considered that the constantly working muscles would create so much heat that without blood circulation it would cook itself like a motor without a radiator.

[@milkteafanclub3592]

Chef explains things so well and is a natural on camera. Rest of the crew and company looks like a great team as well. Great video and lovely restaurant!

[@kikoescora1522]

You guys were able give the viewer a wonderfully immersive experience. Beautiful people and food chemistry as well. Kudos! ✨

[@juurviljasupp]

Wave at 18:18 was the cutest thing ever :)

[@galacticspacepants997]

I NEED PART 2. we need more. This was incredible 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@cpegalaxy]

The segment about his dogs was so cute!! "Shantrel is the biggest stress of my life, bigger than than the restaurant"

[@MrVidau]

There's something so beautiful about the humbleness of a Japanese master in their craft. It is in turn so deeply humbling to witness.

[@storiesaudio-x5c]

What a great manager, letting everyone excel with their own dishes, respectful of the staff, suppliers Aswell. Plus the way he respectfully handles all the ingredients especially living things like tuna. Would love to dine at his restaurant some day. Wish my manager was like this :/

[@evasmith5243]

He has such a deep respect for the animal and uses every single piece. Marrow in a martini and tuna jerky for his dogs- so cool

[@blakebroderick-j2l]

Couple friends took me here for my birthday dinner, great food! junya showed us around and told us some of plans they are working on for the restaurant! Dont want to be spill the beans but big things are coming!

[@muhhafidza898]

Sensei Junya knowledge, ability, and skill for a whole Tuna was delivered as an information and entertainmemt for us. Just wow 😮

[@randyhou8522]

What a wonderful energy, beautiful passion for his craft, his team looks happy and everyone is respectful. I would love to visit this restaurant

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

Nobody knows more about fish prep and cooking than the Japanese, and sushi's the ultimate manifestation of this expertise.

[@f-empire-8]

This is the types of things cultures should be sharing, we need to keep these things alive.

[@runendownlife]

I could listen to him talk about this for days. He is extremely knowledgeable.

[@TheTrueOne15]

Well, I know where I’m going on payday. This guy loves what he does and It reflects on his staff!

[@goyourownway5566]

As other people mentioned. I felt immersed and almost forgot I was eating jack in the box while watching. Master chef!

[@Jefuslives]

I don't think I could afford this place, but "lip to tail" tuna flight sounds like a sublime experience! ...and working directly with the fishermen... I just can't! Def Bucket List material.

[@kramersurfer5280]

never seen such a cheerful chef..

[@StyleHimNow]

The passion is oozing through the video. You can feel it when he speaks.

[@casimirlevin4744]

The whole team and he seem so friendly.

[@abuanwp]

I've been to this restaurant, its amazing inside because its like StarBucks where upon entering you can smell the aroma of the food. Food is fresh and delicious! I feel like I can eat there everyday. lol!

[@rafaelm3523]

super underrated episode

[@CrimFerret]

I'd love to eat there. The tuna head is perfectly shaped to smoke. Using the flower pot Is a great solution. I have a friend who made a smoker out of a couple terra cotta pots. Works incredibly well.

[@cpuff7]

Junya is a rare blend of someone who is very humble yet displays great expertise. Bravo! 👏

[@sprintermaximus]

This was a great episode. I'll definitely be dropping by here next time in LA. I like his practical cooking techniques and the over flame approach as well. Awesome.

[@fallensway855]

I don’t eat tuna but I would happily try everything he made and showed.

[@valdovinosjonathan]

To know so much about your product, I can see why he’s successful in his craft.

[@vinekeep1]

even, or should I say, only the totally dedicated, ocassionally get 'scarred or nipped' in the process. awesome insight to brilliance.

[@slimerone]

a true master of his craft

[@nathannoto8162]

Artichoke and Chantrelle, fantastic pet names

[@btienterprises9306]

[@ChocoIatx2]

Food looks delicious and prices aren’t too bad either. Definitely need to make a trip out there

[@llexinoc]

As a sushi chef I understand the rice taste 100x better made in a hangiri or over fire

This guy rocks!

[@Jimzilla7]

Next time I'm in LA I will def go here!

[@Krnthug333]

Looks amazing! can't wait to dine there!

[@noworriesimfijian]

Simplicity and complexity in one dish, that's the beauty of Japanese Cuisine and Culture. Would love to try that Porcini TunaPear Carpaccio and Lobster Sandwich with the Prawn Kaiage, amongst everything else on the menu.

[@donniegrande9186]

He was born to be a chef
