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”.

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

[@boomboxkat1464]

Sounds like a great guy and an even better manager.

[@MrMotherfuck123]

You have no idea until he is your manager.

[@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!

[@fernandob2275]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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! ✨

[@galacticspacepants997]

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

[@juurviljasupp]

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

[@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.

[@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 :/

[@cpegalaxy]

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

[@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

[@llexinoc]

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

[@blamb9977]

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

[@goyourownway5566]

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

[@btienterprises9306]

I love the paper contract they just wrote up on the spot 😂😂. Simple and easy . Get the business done.

[@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.

[@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

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

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

[@vinekeep1]

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

[@TheTrueOne15]

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

[@StyleHimNow]

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

[@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.

[@casimirlevin4744]

The whole team and he seem so friendly.

[@nathannoto8162]

Amazing profile… he’s a breath of fresh air. The food looked amazing, and his passion really shows. 👍🏻

[@hellatalk4362]

Going to your restaurant strictly to look at your handsome chef and say YESS CHEF

[@f-empire-8]

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

[@cpuff7]

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

[@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.

[@valdovinosjonathan]

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

[@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!

[@runendownlife]

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

[@dxcheong]

I really liked this one. Chef seemed super grounded. Also really liked menu concept.

[@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.

[@splittyification]

I do t know how I got here but I really appreciate this chef

[@kennytieshisshoes]

This guy seems so cool! So knowledgeable about Tuna as well, I felt like I learned so much. The panic at the end was super funny, with the please leave 😂

[@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.

[@SamOperchuck]

Whoever at 0:38 put a type R wing on their sport, you should feel bad.

[@cobalong]

His explanations are amazing!

[@astroluxuk]

OMG, I want to eat here so bad! Not only for the food, the people all seem so great and genuine

I like this episode too much strong and full action... Appreciate it

[@matheuszaroni2007]

Now I need to go back to LA 😅

[@fallensway855]

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

[@TootTootUSA]

This was so much fun to watch. Great stuff!

[@OakDM83]

I wish they would have shown every tasting of the dishes they videoed him preparing.

[@FoieGwa]

We needed a 1000000 tuna break down video.

[@hoplitnet]

Only in california do you get this kind of mixing and that's why it's great.

[@101hardyboyz]

Love how he doesn't waste anything on the tuna, even the scraps go to his dogs

[@4ever_a_pada131]

I would love to apprentice under him. If he does a masterclass, I’m joining. Who’s with me?

[@devindobson8281]

I love this dude

[@BrodieKellyMusic]

Dude sounds like Edna Mode 😂

[@xxterrbear101xx]

Every single time I eat at Yess I am beyond impressed with the food and service, they truly go above and beyond! Cannot recommend this space enough, if you live in SoCal you HAVE to experience Yess 🤍 incredible sashimi, every dish is so crisp and fresh, they even put me on to my new favorite wine when I was there last week!

[@qawiemmt]

what a cool chef, he sure knows his tuna ^^,

[@sladeyslay]

What a cool guy

[@fountain5000]

Excellent!

[@ryannguyen7466]

5:40 the whole 137lbs Tuna only cost $1500.

[@torolavmelhus1092]

Expensive for someone, cheap for others

[@Randymcsendy]

Would be hard to be a fisherman in California for those prices 10$ whole sale means fisherman are probably making 5$ a lb. . The giants we get on the east coast bring a higher price at auction but off the boat 7-10 per pound is pretty average. The wicked tuna high 20’s per lb is tv BS.

[@gregj1789]

So interesting!

[@ohitsscotty]

[@mokajones74]

Artichoke and Chantrelle, fantastic pet names

[@Iamthegaurav]

Don't be sorry about your dogs sir and tell us more about them. If the owner is like you, we're sure those fur babies will also be gems.

[@Cambowalks]

I loved you video so much

[@colin2420]

I’m def coming this week or the next ❤

[@victorlui5955]

Yay!!! Yum.
