I love the concept and then realized a small but very important detail. Since they offer pho noodles, they essentially have a gluten free option! The only thing I think this place might need is, since it's a cafe, is some pastry option so you can have dessert with your meal. I wish to try this place someday!

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

Many japanese restaurants are specialty. Adding a bakery is so unnecessary will oveecomplicate things and take away from the point, which is this is a noodle place. Just go to a bakery when you're done.

[@Scriptor13]

That was fun to watch! The concept was innovative, and your delight at getting to mix-and-match flavors made "Oh My Dots" a must-try food destination for me. I hope they have great success and can expand the number of restaraunts and, perhaps, their offerings. Thank you both for sharing this with us. You always keep your viewers in the know. 💙💙

I've not seen this channel before and you did a better job than certain other youtube channels who have covered this restaurant, namely actually saying the name of the place and including the location in the description, that's really appreciated. Other youtubers just say "robot cup noodle restaurant" and that annoys me. Thank you. It does seem like it's unfair to call it a "cup noodle restaurant" as "cup noodle" seems to imply instant noodles from a convenience store when it looks to me like the noodles (and pasta) are made fresh, which makes the price a lot more reasonable, but I'd just call it a "noodle restaurant". It's on my list of places to visit next time I'm in Japan (probably next year).

[@leonardticsay8046]

The noodles guy is probably side-eyeing the robot thinking: “he better not take my job.”

[@Iymarra]

Yeah, I get the technological innovation but that's easily a job, if not more.

[@englishatheart]

Robots need to take all jobs and humans shouldn't be forced to work their lives away or rely on money to survive.

[@leonardticsay8046]

@@englishatheart so you want is to be like the corpulent cruise passengers from the end of the Pixar movie “Wall-E”? There is dignity in labor. I dig ditches and do landscaping for my bread. It is humble pay, but it is still dignified in many other ways.

[@whoeui3462]

​@@leonardticsay8046Without the need for human labour and money, you would be able to spend your time landscaping your own home or volunteering out of your own good will to work on someone else's/communal property. Or you could spend your time focusing on any of your other interests without needing to worry about paying rent on time or putting food on the table. And while Walle is a great film, it's strongest points are more on the environmental side. We see at the end of the film that the people on the ship have their energy and curiosity for life sprung back into them once they experienced nature again. If jobs were obsolete I would highly suspect that people would rather travel the world and pursue art and knowledge (or whatever interests them) rather than sitting on their ass all day. All though, if they do choose to sit on their ass all day, they are completely within their right to. Although it would be a shame of course.

[@kareningram6093]

The meat looks very tasty! I don't want to live in a world without noodles. Noodles are love, noodles are life.

[@spasticsadcase]

Everytime I watch Tabi eats I feel so good inside. Their polite and nice demeanor is so soothing to watch.

[@mindysmom6132]

How fun! I love the idea of choosing dots as the soup base. I really loved the cute music you chose to go along with the process! Definitely a bucket list place to try! Thanks for sharing boys!

[@melissalambert7615]

Nice to see they had a person cooking the noodles. Good point on the sodium levels. I don't like too much sodium in my food. Hope they expand to a few more topping options.

[@Momo-qo7is]

The concept is better for the tourists but not the regulars. If the customers make the bad combination, they would accept their own selections 😂 without any complaints 😅! I will try it when I visit Shibuya on the weekend. I will follow your combinations, the curry mala pho and the basil Italian tomato noodles!

[@catherinebond7474]

This is a fun concept. Kind of like an extension of the make your own cup noodles from the museum in Yokohama.

[@mollymahnke6734]

I wish we had a noodle shop like this in Missouri!

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

We have Taco Bueno. I think that makes us even.

Hell no. We don’t even have any decent ramen shops yet. Bring that here first.

[@Dariaosu]

I wish we had a noodle shop at all where I'm from...

[@thesinglechronicleswitheli2337]

I wish we had one here in Manitoba. I like the music. Great video guys

Satoshi's English had improved a lot since I last watched TabiEats' videos a few years ago 😊

That cooking music was _hilarious_

What a fun experience! I really enjoy seeing the unique things you find and share with us. Thank you!

[@TabiEats]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vanillahearts62]

My first thought about 3 broths was that it must be quite salty. Really neat idea, thx for sharing!

[@PinkSwiftPenguin]

Customization is fun. I think this is nice when you want a break from your regular/ go-to noodle dishes.

[@cynthiabroussard17]

All of the soups looks amazing, wish we had that in San Francisco

[@reshsgurl]

Today I was thinking about Justin. You had such a special doggy/baby. I went back and watched his memories video, such a beautiful video. Thinking of you two and the beautiful Justin. Never forgotten ♥️

[@TabiEats]

Thank you 🙏

[@JodyY808]

Only the Japanese would come up with an automated gourmet instant noodle cafe! This would be a great way to open ramen/noodle eateries around Japan and in other countries without having to come up with the important broths and skilled cooks. The fresh noodles and toppings may be a problem abroad, but the whole concept of next-level vending machine gourmet cup noodles is ingenius!

[@abysomething2012]

The restarant’s NOT gourmet. The board outside said various noodle bowls were $4.50 US or ¥600

[@curtisgoldthorpe6656]

@@abysomething2012 WHAT! does price have to do with whether or not something is Gourmet? Do you know what Gourmet means? or are you some poser elitist who equates price to actual quality?

[@zangin]

This would be great to have at a college campus!

[@tamara4557]

Such a fun concept.

[@cancanthecan]

Looks really good! 🍜

I absolutely love this broth dot concept! It is totally satisfying the type A, slightly compulsive side of me. 😅

Thanks guys,currently on Zipair from Tokyo to Singapore Tokyo is so much more hectic this time & Sapporo was more chilled. Japan is great at upgrading food,Thanks ❤

I want to check this place out when I go to Tokyo in a couple years. I love Shibuya, I'll have to take my nephew there. Arigato!

It was awesome meeting you too!

We feel the same!

[@elisegeum1514]

Very interesting, nice find 👍

[@danking6446]

visited here many months ago... surprised this place is still open by the time you posted this video but it's in a high tourist foot traffic spot and very "sugoi japan"... would rather just go by Oreryu just down the hill for ramen

[@uselesscause3178]

I want one of them robots in my kitchen! At least until Replicators replace the robots and take their jobs. ;)

[@tokyorosa]

What a fun place! I like the recommendation on how to cut back on the salt since of course restaurant foods are often very salty. I hope you don't mind my saying, the music is very good but in some places is loud enough to compete with you when you're talking. It is nice when it's played over some non-narrated actions, as when the soup is being made though!

[@slayer2450]

That's really neat

[@KelleyM462]

Interesting place! Looks really good 😊

[@Lesbiwolf92]

You can delete a topping, it sounds so final like that topping just blips out of existence lol

The English name and promise of more English Translations make me think that they have International ambitions. Tell them San Antonio, Texas is where a lot of Restaurants get started in the United States.

Getting authentic noodles or bowls in the US is very difficult. There is a store that imports them about 2 hours away.

[@SS4Xani]

I wish we had this in Oklahoma.

[@jimmyryan5880]

I was a bit disappinted when I found out they sneak in chicken soup base. I thought you could control everything. Its a cool concept though.

[@darianfuller7758]

If it was start to finish robot I'd be impressed. But just tossing a pod in doesn't need a machine.

[@Erunest]

Why does one of you look like an older Markiplier with a beard? oO - but the video was interesting, just couldnt not see it!

[@tfchin]

Dude! As a Chinese American, tell me this doesn't look like Jackie Chan's brother

[@jpbaley2016]

Or to ensure good flavor and not watered down, can you do 2 or 3 dots of the same flavor?

[@TabiEats]

You sure can!

[@amimcfaddy647]

Ok it’s really not that robotic, a human hand can just as easily pick up the stock dots, the paper cups etc so am not surprised a human hand is needed to handle the noodles. A DIY ramen store is not that much different in terms of less staff intervention by letting customer do all the work ie choosing the packet noodle & toppings, put bowl in a customised cooker that looks a bit like coffee maker to heat the noodle, only disadvantage is every food item has to be packed in plastics (not environmental friendly), then there’s disposal bowls! Only the idea of the soup stocks compressed in a dot is very original to be fair. Nevertheless impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit to get it running as a legitimate eatery.

[@miss.l.1563]

I'm sure he said "dots all I know" !? 😂.

[@carolg88]

in portuguese we call it spoleto and i think it’s beautiful

[@user-rx2ur5el9p]

Literally CHUNKS irl

[@Devils-advocate78]

Stuff of nightmares

[@Devils-advocate78]

And completely pointless if there’s a human there doing most of the work. A silly gimmick that’s taking jobs away from real people. I will never ever support a robot in a position where a human could be earning a wage

[@NeatoRad]

Anyone know what the song is that they use around the 3min mark?

[@hermyt]

Seems bowl would be better than a cup for the toppings.

[@CynFinnegan-lb2uo]

I can't have edamame or bell pepper, but I'd love to give this a try.

"i know you guys dont speak japanese, so were gonna press on japanese so i have to translate the buttons for yall anyways"

[@Drebe73]

This is a cool concept. If only they had vegan options.

[@gabziiee]

Should have put the menu in English to save translation

[@Zauchi]

how are there over 500 varieties with only four toppings?

[@TabiEats]

You can mix and match the dots and choose from 4 types of noodles. But mixing dots you create a unique taste.

[@SparkyMTB]

This seems a little silly… why not have a robot also add the toppings & pour the cooked noodles in the cup… or don’t have a robot & just have to person put the dots in the cup & add the boiling water 😅

[@dreamup8431]

Japan has an absolute love affair with robots.

[@TStadiumhopper]
