Things got weird on set and I’m not sorry about it 😂 what food should we do next?!

[@Lele-vu1bv]

Best new duo from Buzzfeed in a while! This must continue.

[@aj_pulidoooo]

Best buffalo wings!

[@mclovin6537]

Ohh ohh do an egg themed episode

[@raew9881]

Mac n cheese

[@thatnewguy928]

PHO!

[@georgenguyen403]

OMG can you do best dumplings next??! It’ll be a ramen week for me while I wait 🤤😅☺️

[@recoil53]

Yes, I don't even care about the cuisine they come from. I just love (filled) dumplings of all kinds.

[@yackie23]

I’m liking this! Especially with the new girl. BUT it felt so rushed!!!!!! At least 48 hours next time for that amount of food

[@cherli8480]

Loved it. But didn't love that it was so rushed. Feel like it could have been spread out between days and people.

[@jasminepak]

Cher Li thank you for the feedback! We had the same thoughts but ultimately decided to go down the route of chaos 😂 we’ll take this into account for future episodes 🥰

[@nancysnider5348]

Wonderful job reviewing these top choices for us.

[@angelaa3617]

HECK YEA! Men-oh all the WAY!!!!

[@kevinlee6546]

I love the concept, this could potentially be the new "Worth It" I just feel like there needs to be some kinks worked out for it to get to that level. Glad to see more of Jasmine videos tho!

[@tomtomla3935]

I looove ramen and ate at most of ramen spots in LA and OC. Hands down the best and most life changing is Hironori Craft Ramen in Irvine!

[@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

See that’s interesting. There’s a HiroNori Ramen in Long Beach near me and to be honest, I wasn’t wowed by their Tonkatsu. But I LOVED their miso ramen.

[@Kasinda1234]

Currently in LA after watching this video a few months ago and I agree the Tokushima ramen (same as what you had) at Men Oh was the best I've had in LA so far - especially the egg.

[@vicmcenteno]

Loved the video, Hahahaha dude all that food in 1 day crazy 😝

[@rman2448]

Jasmine is the celebrity of the channel 😂

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

That intro 😂 did you actually finish all the bowls in 1 day?? How is that even possible

[@recoil53]

Well Jasmine does do the giant food eating challenge.

[@matchboxmatt]

Rakkan Ramen’s new “Spicy Quartz” is some of the best ramen broth I’ve ever had. Rich, delicious, and a bit of some fresh garlic and their spicy sauce and it is so damn good. Blows the spicy garnet out of the water. Also, Hiro Nori in north Long Beach and Irvine is entirely worth the trip. Hands down best chashu of anywhere I’ve ever been-melts in your mouth with an incredible sear and deep rich taste from the marinade. The tonkotsu is indulgently rich, and the shoyu is so flavorful yet light. Totally go there if you can.

[@kiddmusiq19]

Tatsu Ramen is my fave hands down!

[@lawfence11]

The chashu rice at Tatsu is better than their ramen.

[@W1n5t0n20]

Tatsu is disgusting, next time go across the street to tsujita annex (not the noodle bar on the corner) if you want some proper ramen

[@davida7559]

Tsujita is disgusting

[@lillianripper9863]

Top five commenter. Luv u guys, and the ramen. Perfect mix.

[@jasminepak]

Lillian Ripper thank you for watching! 🥰

[@NoobAlly]

I am slightly repulsed by the way that they eat 😥

[@amandashe6688]

thats not nice

[@laurenrobin9361]

4:53 best moment of the video😂

[@baohanhuynh8046]

They are a good team together, I dig it

[@veronicadanielle3539]

Love this team!! The dance break made me hit the like !! Get it girl!!

[@tonythavorn4263]

Finally a video with jasmine!

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

That's totally me 0:03 when i see my female friends twerk but they ain't doing it right.

[@sillycheese301]

Lol

[@neevbehal4975]

Literally skipped Tsujita - THE BEST RAMEN IN LA

[@chaole1000]

The best DIPPING ramen. This was soup ramen.

[@MenaceIISocietys]

@@chaole1000 they have soup ramen

[@indrayee]

Lol yeah they went to tatsu instead

[@JacksonWalter735]

Ramen prices around LA are so expensive. Most ramen shops around me charge $8-10 with $12 probably being the max.

[@lawfence11]

There's plenty of quality places where you can a basic bowl (noodles, broth, pork) for $8 for a small or $10 for a large. But yeah to get a fully loaded bowl with all the toppings will be $12-16.

[@davida7559]

Jacson. It’s Los Ángeles hello

[@TheRockstarParking]

The fact Tsujita LA isn’t on this makes me sad.

[@Illumiloni]

Is it really good? Im planning to go this weekend but im not out there for long so im trying to weigh my ramen options!

[@stevensueoka2290]

HiroNori Ramen is the best in the LA area and it's not even close. You had some legit spots though.

[@brittstar1311]

Love your shirts! Where are they from?

[@samanthauribe3548]

You were right across from Tampopo in Gardena now that’s the best ramen !!!

[@liltaypt2]

They buy those ramen noddles While I eat the $1 ramen packages

[@mysttake8692]

I dont understand why ppl keep pronouncing tonkotsu as tonKAtsu... its totally different one is a type of broth and the other is a fried food.....

[@l2myk]

I love tatsu...it is amazing!!!!

[@eliallen3528]

Y'all went to Sawtelle for Tatsu and Daikokuya?? Tsujita and Tsujita Annex are a block away and both are easily contenders for best Ramen in LA. Tatsu/Daikokuya's only redeeming value is being open later than the Tsujitas.

[@tsubakichan]

Tsujita is awful. If that's what you LA people like (and the lines show that), then it's clear they make ramen that suits the local palate. My wife and I hated it.

[@ThePotLabPhD]

The Spicy Miso Ramen at Men-Oh is my favorite JS :)

[@drewdrew719coloradosprings6]

That opening was epic lol

[@pikapika1923]

Finally someone agrees with me that tatsu is over-hyped, not that good and over priced for what you get!!!

[@purplespray3768]

This is like chicken watch and worth it.

[@brianlin4648]

Surprised you guys didn't hit up Shin-Sen-Gumi

[@rodneynorman8965]

The beginning was very interesting

[@pervysage4934]

Steven who??? Seriously, what a great pair! I am hooked already!

[@lsil6325]

Jasmine ! That dancing ! 😳😳😳

[@legoproductions12341]

MY FAVORITE RAMEN WON YES

[@Therealtony7]

Men oh is soooo damn good, ramen and their Japanese style fried chicken 🤤

[@Maniacstorm]

siiiiiiiigggghhhhh. No Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle Annex? 😢

[@W1n5t0n20]

I KNOW!!!! Should have been that instead of tatsu

[@Maniacstorm]

But now that I think about it. I think all those bean sprouts would've ended their night 😂

[@JonDoe-oq3ke]

I ship them 💕

[@markdlacap8510]

Buzzfeed: Everyone: they tryna do another version of “Worth it”?

[@x1roxmusic]

does anybody know where to get the shirt Jasmine is wearing? love it

[@seemasukhdeo4292]

Sweet video u shouldn't have rushed tho

[@darrenlee1765]

Jasi could get it 🐿

[@thibaultswindells1805]

anyone else notice that in the places that lost they mostly shared the ramen whereas in the winning places they each had their own, almost like it was pre decided

[@kl5792]

Color correcting on the outdoorclip should be warmer.

[@cuhtleen]

Who’s this new girl?! I can’t even with her

[@suchasongbird]

What about santouka?! Love that place!

[@kelseymumford2481]

i could barely eat one bowl of ramen without getting full. i felt sick watching them eat this in one day lmaooooo nahhh

[@bigying]

But there’s no duel for #3?

[@JoshDreonOfficial]

DTLA Ramen should've been included. what a shame.

[@yuyasuzuki720]

Tsujita LA Annex? Why not on this list? It’s best in LA

[@weirdballs]

Foo Foo Tei in Hacienda Heights.

[@everybodyskuya562]

Music slaps. Food schmacks/smacks.

[@scooby-doo1143]

That intro though

[@chloetheawesome1]

alex delaney deserves credit

[@EliB207]

I restarted this video way too many times.

[@rahreyes4904]

now im craving for ramen 😭😭😭

[@chaole1000]

Tsujita is known for dipping ramen, which is why they didn’t go.

[@jreev335]

This was confusingly sexual, like really sexual

[@jeffryundiarto9433]

Please try iki ramen in k-town!

[@jonymandragora4184]

Ramen😋 🍲

[@phoenix82gaming63]

1:24 guys is the maze bank tower

[@chrisw.5823]

How can you eat all that in one day?

[@DrAbhishekSinghal]

We have maggi in India (instant noodles) and that is the closest thing to ramen here. Would have loved to see how a professional chef prepares a traditional ramen! AND HOW CAN YOU EAT ALL THOSE NOODLES IN ONE DAY!?! 😂

[@biggdaddy202003]

So this is what tasty is going with for their video 2.0 version? Hipster travel food shows? Eater and others have that down already. What else you got because this is not to much of a step up from those re re re re uploaded food compilation videos.

[@remix4888]

is that micheal ree(EEEEEEEEEE)ves's voice in the back ground at 5:34 - 5:53 ?

[@lukepenaloza]

dollar store worth it

[@Puppygirll]

hmmm i want ramen

[@Dannnnnnnnny]

Damn sad y'all used Jinya's ramen clips for your intro but not the ramen itself!

[@michraph9942]

how all in one day????????????????????????

[@clari_ts]

is no one else annoyed she said the noodles slapped? like food doesn’t slap sis

[@joannadp3488]

Rakkan is good, broth, noodles but their meat lately has been chewy with nerves or something. Their pork buns and hot sauce is pretty delicious though.

[@laneishawalker9025]

13:28 👀👀 did she just have a flashback??

[@Manmade023]

If u were twerkin the entire video. I wouldn't have complained!!

[@jasminepak]

Md Mansoor others would 😂😂😂

[@crystalb6064]

I can't believe ya'll went to some of these dissapointing places and didn't try silverlake ramen 😒😒

[@faithyywapp_]

I cant with this new girl

[@leslieeg]

Don't go to Daikokuya. 😏😏😏 The lines are already long!!! 😞 Aw man, but so worth it. 🥺 Don't go. Please. 😏

[@otogigamer]

wow ramen is cheap in LA compared to NY

[@hunnino9812]

UwU cool I am confused What in the world

[@jasminepak]

Hunni No me too. uwu

[@phantastiquely]

these video names are so literal. “We found the best ramen in Los Angeles 24 hours” why not shorten it to like “Hunt for best ramen in LA”

[@jerrelCbanks]

I actually appreciate the description over the vague click bait.

[@ashergirdwood2826]

Bruh what’s with all the 🎂at the start

[@WarChortle]

Audio guy's face.. #same.

[@yooyerin90]

Poor rie

[@heyitsjujuu]

Dai ko kuya.

[@Ehawkjj2]

Sawtelle tatsu sucks one in Hollywood is better also how tf did they not go to tsujita?? Guess they couldn’t handle the food coma

[@mai_561]

beginning was so uncomfotable

[@MissSabzSays]

How the mighty have fallen 🥴

[@geek211]

the comments are so cool, they dont make sense.. or maybe im old...

[@mitchrapp9727]

Watching people twirl their noodles with their chopsticks makes me cringe every time

[@ayaabuaziz9529]

Hi

[@alexsakon]

Say it with me... tonkOtsu. NOT tonkAtsu.

[@erik0319]

Shouldn’t the title be “looking for the best ramen and we’ve never tried ramen” just a very strange video

[@keikozbrn]

In my opinion this video is so weird, this just looks like how “worth it” and “telephone taste test” combined (and also a little try guys over here), the new girl is kinda annoying. And the fact that they didn’t really put 100% look or really reviewing those ramen is disappointing because we as the audience can’t keep up and they seemed like they just eat for fun and not for a good content. I appreciate this new ideas but sorry...

[@christianhansen3292]

i recommend a rhinoplasty although with that nose maybe she could of smelled what was across the street? lol

[@jessicadiaz8500]
