Thumbs up if you like noods

[@jaz4219]

CupofTJ not noods but noodles

[@ric44n]

Thumbs up that you have a disclaimer about the Tenderloin. =D

[@thinkabout288]

i just ate 2 easter dinners i'll have to watch this tomorrow 😥😓

[@Turomilktea]

The way the noodles were on the chopsticks like a knot, satisfying 2:52

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Getting that portion control game on girrrll. That egg yoke is always making it’s way into those noodles 🍝.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Love that you found that extra spicy sauce. LOVE spicy sauce and love the noodles without the sauce.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Let’s get our SLURP ON!!! Love the soft boiled egg and shredded beef added to those noodles.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

The egg 🍳 just adds some nice dimension to the noodles

[@netherfield2000]

I've never heard of dry pho. The broth is the best part!

[@RockstarEater]

Sounds like tsukemen pho!

[@TruthHurts01]

My dream girl right here. Doesn't intimidated by spicy noodles, chili oils ... Noodles all the wayy.

[@marieladelgado8933]

The dry pho looked mouthwatering!! I am officially hungry and craving noodles. 🤤🤤😂💓 During your last stop, the bowl of creamy, thick noodles w/ pork and duck meat 😮😮😮 looks fantastic! Great video, like always!! ❤

[@valeriacabello9889]

Going on my first solo trip soon. Currently planning places to eat at because I want the good foods and remembered your channel. So excited to be able to take some of your recommendations for the first time after watching your videos for a long time while dreaming of the day I'd finally be able to travel. Your travel videos have always been my favorite.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh wow! Beautiful time lapses so pretty! Yum love this noodle tour now I’m hungry!

[@biomanization]

Your bowl of udon made me so homesick. Pho2000 and Noodle on Clement/6th Avenue are my favorites! Gong hai fat choy!

[@nickandhelmi]

That nood shirts is making its round!! Omg this reminds me of yoshinoya tj 😱! The egg 😍😍😍😍!!! Im also in noodle heaven! I mean who doesnt love noodle 😬🐣- is this episode after you cut your hair ? - looks great!

[@aimeehowell7895]

I somehow JUST found you and yup, new favorite food reviewer honestly because you don’t make that obnoxious “yummy” face and those “MhmMmM” noise. I adore you

[@billosterjr.3848]

Even when eating noodles, it's poetry in motion.

[@marieladelgado8933]

The soup w/ all the peppers at the second stop looked delicious. I do like that it had an abundance of noodles! 🤤😂😊😍👍🏻👌🏻🍲

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Mixing up your noodles to make it the way you want it. PLAY with it. It’s the only time were playing with you food is GOOD. 🥢🥣🍲😍♥️

[@hotarutomoe4697]

Love how you tried 3 different dishes at Marugame Udon! Whoot!

[@niceguyjayson]

You are so funny and entertaining.

[@MoxieBeast]

Good morning!!! Yay Nooodz!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂

[@CupofTJ]

hiiii

[@MsLansones]

The second bowl that contains the orange fish roe is probably mentaiko.

[@Kwijiboi]

Came here to say the same. Mentaiko is delicious!

[@thaipeang1081]

Lol at the Tenderloin reference. I grew up there in the 80’s and it is not the same as it used to be. Now just known as the hood. I’ve gone to a lot of wedding receptions at Ha Nam Ninh during the late 80’s and early 90’s.

[@LostUndertheSky]

Thanks for this. Looking forward to visiting SF and checking out those amazing noodle places in your video.

[@michelefranco6180]

TJ. I love the Udon with that creamy egg..

[@hieutran4313]

Hey cupofTJ, it’s not dry pho, it’s another type of noodle called “hu tieu”. Just fyi! Really enjoy your videos though!!

[@CupofTJ]

Yes that’s the actual name! We just call it dry pho as an easy reference heh

[@Kevin-zi9ku]

Can you describe "hu tieu" noodles in detail? What ingredient is it made out of? egg or rice noodles or ? what shape does is it? and what country is it from? Thanks

[@aonguyen8185]

@@Kevin-zi9ku it's from vietnam and you can search its recipe on gg :3

[@nancytran90]

@@Kevin-zi9ku Phở = beef/chicken broth based, NO PORK; only using rice noodles (Vietnamese call this type of rice noodle="phở"); originally from Northern Vietnam. Hủ Tiếu = pork broth based; using rice noodle (this type of rice noodle is a little bit different from phở noodle. It's slightly more chewy since they add tapioca flour with rice flour to create the chewy texture); originally from Chinese people who lived in Southern Vietnam and Cambodia. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuy_teav

[@linniengoctran]

also its best to eat with the sauce and then enjoy the soup separately !!!

[@rkbush27]

The best way to start the day is with a cup of TJ!

[@CupofTJ]

Heheh

[@hynnnjin]

Love you TJ ❤️

[@BossLadeeAsh]

You probably already know...but giiirrrlll go San Jose for dry noodle... Nam vang

[@michaelchang7249]

BossLadeeAsh yeah Nam Vang and Kali Noodle Bar has the best dry noodles, in San Jose! Best Vietnamese food in SJ sun general

[@brendanboon6548]

If you're in SF, try Hai Ky or Thai Nghiep Ky for Teochew noodle / hu tieu!!

[@tb14333]

I love having Marukame in Hawaii! Such a good chain ♡

[@ffn4s08]

Fun fact for you TJ, and everyone else, "Ha Nam Ninh" - was a big province in Northern part of Vietnam. Now it was divided into 3 small provinces: Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, and Ninh Binh. Nam dinh is where pho origins from. :D

[@CupofTJ]

OOO love a fun fact 😍

[@KindaSorta451]

This is my dream food tour.... bring on all the noodzzzz

[@Corkylife2021]

All the noodles looked delicious, tasty and healthy portions, thank you thank, happy Easter

[@smiggee]

Thanks now I'm craving Ramen noodles tonight.

[@lisawhitear6277]

I think you did a video with Mikey Chen (Strictly Dumpling) but please do another one x

[@eugenesrusso]

All the noodles look so good but the one with the soft boiled egg looks amazing. also nice hair color btw :)

[@brianbaxter3913]

Have been waiting so long for the next video and was worth the wait. Can't decide which is the best noodle dish so would have to try then all. Would be even better if I can try them with you the noodle expert hehe. Love the video keep up the good work and always enjoy the food

[@linnmen1634]

All of them. They all look good

[@Tp681]

Chong Qings my favorite! Been there more than 50 times

[@criskity]

San Francisco's Tenderloin district has a reputation for being sketchy, but it's got fantastic ethnic restaurants and a lot of backpackers' hostels too.

[@jeffcue5808]

I'm going to try the Tan Tan Noodles one of these days.

[@tasha777]

Went to Marugame today and it was sooooo bomb!! . I got almost the exact same stuff you got TJ and boy I’m loving it!! Going back soon for the other udon you ate.

[@ChrisZ901]

I didn't know they had a Chongqing noodle place in SF Chinatown. Gotta go try it next time.

[@outpostorange9580]

Fantastic noodle review as always

[@starocean1992]

The dry Pho blew my mind didn't even know that was a thing, looks very good though i will have to try on my channel.

[@skyytran9545]

That is not dry Pho. That dish is called Hu Tieu and is the dry version. You don't put the broth in the bowl though as there already special sauce to eat with it.

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

@@skyytran9545 Yeah, I think she said "dry pho" for people who don't know, like as a point of reference.. Damn, now I gotta go make myself a Hu Tieu Kho.

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

Yohannes You should try it, it's pretty good. But you have to order "Hu Tieu Kho", kho means dry. Cuz if you ask for Hu Tieu, it will come as a bowl of soup (almost like a pork pho, different nood tho).

[@starocean1992]

@@skyytran9545 wow thx Sky appreciate that sorry still learning, It would be dope if you could sub to my channel I would really appreciate that.

[@starocean1992]

Tj was working on her slurping, n she got it 😂😁....u slurp girl!! 😅...Noodle n Tj heaven!!..😊😎

[@lannienguyen8549]

Hello Love your videos but just one correction for this one. There's no such thing as dry pho. It's dry noodles that you're eating called Hu Tieu Kho

[@kewlkat8208]

Thank you so much for putting Marugame Udon on your video. I went to Hawaii last year and went to Marukame and was in love with that place and I’m happy that I see that there’s a place only about 2 hours away from where I live. I’m definitely going there to try it out.

[@AmazingChiangMai]

Those look really good

[@the.annethology]

We have Marugame Udon in Manila and their menu is seriously drool inducing!!! Youre right, the line is crazy tho! people line up in hours just to get a bowl of their udon but it's so worth it 😋😋😋

Oh yeah a TJ noodle video!!!

[@ST-Y]

I live in the Bay Area and still can’t bring myself to line up at Mensho. Going on three years and lines aren’t dying down. The other 3 spots are solid. Not too far in the tenderloin where the dry pho was is turtle tower if you like Vietnamese chicken noodle soup!

[@funkychicken2119]

Going to the tenderloin earns you a medal in valor and bravery. The tenderloin is like a collaboration between Madd Max Beyond Thunderdome and Escape From New York with a side order of World War Z.

[@erictansweebeng5498]

Your eyes light up whenever slurp on those noodles!!

[@CupofTJ]

Noodles love of my life

[@marieladelgado8933]

You are so adorable! 😊😂 Those udon noodles w/ the beef looked so amazing! 😍👍🏻

[@spencernguyen2880]

Those weren't dry pho noodles. It's hu tieu kho / hu tieu dry noodles.

[@Strafer66]

hi tj 😊 that udon looks great. Ramen broth is good but imo I’ve always said udon is Japan’s noodle king

[@tramerebester2657]

You should do a video with Mike chin

[@thadgillies3027]

If your ever in Ann Arbor MI, you’ll have to check out a new restaurant called Chow. Doing something different with Asian bowls.

I’m so jealous you were in little Saigon. I miss going there for Bahn mi and all the great Vietnamese’s food.

go aggies!!

[@eddieh1530]

That's what I do too. I start with mild spice and work my way up. It is so sad when something is so hot that it cannot be enjoyed.

[@PinkyBear]

I don't like udon, but that beef udon looks really tasty!

[@johnkominar8417]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_siu Char siu literally means "fork roasted" (siu being burn/roast and cha being fork, both noun and verb)

[@ngoc131376]

They made the dry noodle so wrong !!! It’s supposed to be quail egg instead of regular egg (minced pork, minced red salted radish, shrimps and squid ...! Add a bit of sugar over the noodles, some tong-ho and pickled garlic and peppers while you’re eating, it’ll super tasty and flavorful This dish called “ Nam Vang noodle” It’s original from a place of Cambodia but when it got to Vietnam , it became super popular ! (By the way, from Saigon so the way I recommended you to try is Saigon’s style....every City and every place have their own flavor and styles)

[@Diamandinae]

Love it all hon!!!

[@QuietMosquito]

The udon looks so good. 😋

Wow, hadn't known there's a Marugame in SF! I was just drooling over the thought of hitting it up in Hawaii on vacation next month. And will definitely need to try Mensho and the Vietnamese restaurant. Have had tons of pho, bun rieu, etc., but never that particular 'dry pho' or 'hu tieu' as I see someone calls it.
