"If I want to go fast, I do it myself. If I wanna go far, I do with my team", facts right there

[@iPlaySKATE]

true leadership

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

Pick your team right and develop them, then you can go far and fast

[@alvaroacevedo1767]

Love this!! 1 of 2 Executive chefs.

[@maddogg1978peru]

True. A mentor told me long ago: "You can have control, or growth, but not both." Meaning, without a team, or leveraging your work, you'll have all the control, but if you wish to grow your industry, you must have a team, or a group to leverage your work.

[@JesseCracksMTG]

Alex Hormozi said this, not sure where the origin is though

[@JayWill_]

He is so humble. Seems like such a great teacher and person. “If I wanna go fast, I’ll do it myself. If I wanna go far, I’ll do it with my team.” Absolute brilliance.

[@TB11222]

He is definitely the most relaxed chef I have ever seen. Loved this video.

[@catedoge3206]

Humble, open, wise, welcoming. This man is an amazing example for future chefs and non chefs alike!!!

[@ericfisher1737]

Love his mindset of what a restaurant should be and his interpretation of how food brings people of all sorts together. Literally made me tear up. Great man, great production and great outlook. All good starts with the want to help in some way, this man's paving the way

[@frankmillersincity1]

Love the background music and the vibes. Felt my heart lightened watching this man and team live their dream in a fulfilling way. I love how he's all about the affordable, casual tone.

[@garyhorvath2957]

True definition of a Chef, even uses every last bit of charcoal, no waste well done 👍

[@bigbody_stunnaboss]

I watch a lot of food/restaurant/kitchen/chef content on KZbin and I am a big stickler and have preferences. Not even 5 minutes into this video and it passes with flying colors I love the experience you provide.

[@robertotorres2245]

This man is really humbled and seems like and awesome human being

[@CannonKaylaSam1]

I love his concept! His restaurant seems lovely!! May his business continue to thrive!

[@karlkhain]

私はフランス人で、フランスで生まれました。日本人が大好きです。特に伝統的な料理とあなたの料理文化はあなたに感謝します

[@alanbumbai]

this the most well produced commercial i've seen in a while

[@angelaphan3346]

So humble. I love his approach & demeanor. I’d imagine his food is amazing & reflects his integrity.

[@johnpaullaxa5486]

this guy is what you call a real master chef..

[@aaronwoods6640]

He has a calm demeanor and seems to care for his workers and customers. Nice video!

[@courteneymiller1246]

beautiful mindset and such a down-to-earth man. doing what he loves and doing it well; always love to see it!

[@kfcbandit4713]

I always enjoy chefs who make a point to work with cheaper ingredients to make food more accessible to the common person. Food doesn’t have to be expensive to be delicious.

[@nickyoung4303]

As a chef..how you have changed your mindset...it's beautiful to see....food is love

[@MrFlexi23]

Bless this man, I could listen to him talk for hours. Very nice job behind the camera aswell :)

[@nicholaschan4257]

The owner chef is so wholesome and humble.

[@startuphub4097]

When he said he was Japanese but not fully, I didn't understand until history and his words explained his journey. Yes, he is not like any typical Japanese at all. What a beautiful way to capture his life in the study of food - like netflix's Chef's Table but shorter without sacrificing quality of storytelling.

[@yotamaster09]

Damn this guy is an inspiration, everything he says could be a poster. You can tell he loves what he does, loves his team, and is a very happy and humble person

[@alveralmoroto7208]

We appreciate your idea of sharing this experience of you with us. ❤️

[@longtr9738]

gotta love this man. He respects his team and figured it out how to work with them. Love this video

[@HaidarAli-dg5vo]

Just found out this video, Trying to understand all the customer and local preferences in food on every region he choose to open his restaurant, is amazing....

[@PtikPhoenetikTalk]

You know the food is good and great and respectful if the chef really eat and evaluate it

[@Jayzzzzzz237]

I wish that I could have seen this video before I stayed in Singapore last year because I am now living and working in Viet Nam. I promise that I am going to come to your restaurant for my second trip to Singapore soon. You are so humble and sociable. I hope that everything good will come to your life!

[@irfanhaniif]

big fan of this kind of contents,watched many times this kind of contents,but this channel has a special heart to me,the way u put the music,the way u put the vibes,its heart warming and makes me wanna cry for a bit just because how beautiful this content is.

[@udayrai9319]

What a great person with great personality.... Being prefect n becoming perfect is not big thing.... The big thing is being suitable n entertaining to all kind of natures ppl

[@jansonrivera1482]

This Chef exhudes peace. This video felt like therapy, definettly slowed the hectic day down for me.

[@cheftuan]

Great video. Chef Sho seems to be a great person to work for and learn from.

[@deathempire70]

Been there and yall must have their noodles. All types (tsukemen, ramen, and the dry mix) are all really good.

[@Mg_ayco34]

So inspiring 🎉 I’d like to come and try your restaurant when I’m in SG this month. Absolute praise for you 😊 Salute one humble and smart chef 🎉

[@RiotOfDeath]

[@mr.banhmi7938]

Such a humble fella Chef Sho, so inspiring.. makes me wanna open a ramen shop :D

[@haku9815]

I'm a guest service officer/fnb attendant, and I'd love to work with this kind of chef. Not only inspiring, but also a good leader, improving the team and keeping the healthy relationship between them.

[@ronaldnishimura8357]

A must visit when I travel to Singapore for the first time.

[@adhiefasindo3217]

We've been met and worked together in Hide Yamamoto. But anyway you're amazing. Cheers for you chef Sho Naganuma

[@MCTiesto]

What a cool video. I definitely want to try this place when in Singapore.

[@alexruiz3831]

If I want to go fast, I do it myself. If I want to go far, I do it with my team, not by myself. - I like this quote from you Chef.

[@calrndown]

Thank y'all so much for sharing.

[@BELLAPHONTOO]

This channel is getting better and better, watch out Eater, Food Insider and Munchies!

[@leagueaccount6254]

Lol hate to burst your bubble, eater has trash production and I swear the people don't actually care about food, munchies is going woke get broke, like their other affiliates such as vice, and food insider is decent, first time I watched this channel and I can already tell it's better than all 3

[@Christine-nj3kl]

You are humble and honest

[@leonchee]

I really like your view of serving your customers with delicious food and keeping your employees happy. I one day want to run my restaurant the way you do. You ran inspiration to me, many more blessings to you.

[@JuanTorres34]

[@Lily-gz3ip]

When I get older and have enough money, I want to open an izakaya with Afro-brazilian, Italian and french dishes! They're the best.

[@gandgpolaroid6406]

Wow I’m Italian and I would like to see something like this

[@petergarcia8225]

Definitely in between fine dining and a normal dining. Must be a fun place to be. 5star atmosphere

[@jokurino3025]

I got why he got kicked out... I'm glad he did well with his opportunity in the U.S. Now he's a masterchef.

[@ribatlawrence2890]

Humble man! May God bless you

[@josielzapata3419]

The chillest dude

[@chuongnguyen9212]

Humble chef

[@user-vx5bu8tr5y]

10:20 improve Singapore Torah’s Ramen & Charcoal Bar by using the common practice in Japanese Ramen restaurants where the staff use long chopsticks to lift the ramen in the soup, slight sway and gently drops the ramen on the opposite end of the bowl to create a neat and beautiful food presentation. This small step will be the competitive advantage that max your restaurant profits and charity donations.

[@pongkornprasopsukchokmanee9211]

a good team and a good boss!
