Have you ever seen a restaurant with no reviews?

It's weird.

It's strange.

I don't like it.

Most of these restaurants are food trucks or perhaps small businesses inside of gas stations or grocery stores.

Waiting patiently to be reviewed, that's where I come in.

I'm going to restaurants in my city that literally have zero ratings.

They could be incredible, they could be horrible, and it's all up to me to decide.

And for the absolute best restaurant in my city, I got this plaque made.

Basically, it just says, Ryan's favorite restaurant in Austin, Texas that previously had no reviews up until Ryan reviewed it.

Now that you know what's at stake in this video, let's eat.

Starting with crispy crunchy chicken.

I know what you're thinking, Ryan, you're at a gas station.

I know.

Crispy crunchy chicken is somewhere in this building behind me.

There's absolutely no signage.

There's no indications that there's actually a chicken joint inside this building, but apparently there are almost 3 ,000 crispy crunchy chickens in America. Where?

Where are they?

Yes, this restaurant has zero reviews, but it has some of the best social media posts I have ever seen.

When you and your bro both go for the last wing, so true, they have many other great posts.

But the point is, inside this gas station could easily be the best chicken I have ever had in my life.

I've got my clipboard.

I've got my plaque.

Oh, I need to grab a pen if I want them to take me seriously.

One sec.

Okay, what are we waiting for?

Let's go write the first review for Crispy Country Chicken.

I walk into Starfield Market, and now I'm just kind of confused.

I don't see Krispy Crunchy Chicken anywhere.

Is this some sort of joke?

The good news is they have a great selection of snacks and oil for cars.

And finally, I don't know how I didn't realize this, but Krispy Crunchy Chicken is actually located at Taco Basket Taqueria.

Aw, this place is quaint.

I like it here.

There's an extensive menu.

We're talking tacos and chicken and more.

No pizza.

Don't even think about it.

So I guess the only thing left to do is find out if the chicken is really crispy and crunchy here.

Good, how's it going?

Good.

What would you recommend from crispy, crunchy chicken?

Chicken tenders, very delicious.

The chicken tenders?

Yeah.

Whatever you would recommend, the chicken tenders and wedges.

Okay, wedges working?

Oh, I don't have a job yet, but just reviewing food and stuff.

Trying to review different restaurants.

Yeah.

we have successfully acquired crispy crunchy chicken okay all right thank you

that actually means a lot before

we open up the chicken box my experience inside was pretty awesome first of all

i just love gas stations i love going to get fun drinks snacks

it's a fun way to break up your day so

if this food is top notch the convenience is off the charts however convenience comes with a price tag

there's nowhere to sit there's no seating area that's understandable it's like a grab and go type of service.

The employees were so nice.

I had all kinds of questions of what kind of meal I should get, and I was treated with nothing but kindness.

So that's a star right there just for service.

But at the end of the day, restaurants come down to food.

So let's open this box up.

First impressions, love the branding.

I open it up, and what do I see?

A golden fried symphony.

This meal is $9 .19.

You get ketchup, their original sauce, potato wedges.

I can't control myself, so I took a bite.

It's a good potato wedge.

Some sort of honey biscuit, and of course, the chicken strips.

Without further ado, let's get crunchy.

Pretty much exactly what I would want if I went to a place called Crispy Crunchy Chicken.

The chicken's crispy, it's crunchy, it's got flavor, a little bit of spice.

Not too much spice because I can't handle anything beyond ketchup most of the time.

Just because of the sheer accuracy of the name of the restaurant, that's a star.

That's a star right there.

Goosebumps.

I have goosebumps all over my body, sheerly after taking a bite of a biscuit.

Hang it in the Louvre, that's a star.

I don't really know what that expression means.

I think that's like where the Mona Lisa is.

The ambiance of large 18 -wheelers just sort of driving around is awesome.

My expectations have been blown away, okay?

Frankly, I feel honored to be writing this first review.

Let's do it, let's write it.

I started writing my review and you know what happened?

I thought, I'm going to way more restaurants in this video

and my goal is to find the best of the best in my city to win my plaque.

I mean, this plaque means a lot to me.

I got it custom made.

So I thought to myself, there must be a bigger story here.

So I found some locals and interviewed them.

Well, the crazy thing is, they don't even have a sign out front.

So how would you even know it's in there?

That's right.

I didn't even know it was in there.

I've got enough information here to finish writing my review.

Next up, Momos, Euros, and Curries.

I'm noticing a theme with the restaurants that don't have reviews.

100

They don't have a sign.

101

In fact, I'm not even certain that it's even here.

102

All I see are Nails for You, Crafts and More, and Fresh Deli.

103

But if it is here, I already love Momos.

104

First of all, the name is Momos.

105

That's awesome.

106

Second of all, their website is perfect.

107

They're clearly using a free e -commerce template for restaurants.

108

How do I know?

109

Because the website says, Get started with this free e -commerce template for restaurants.

110

Right off the bat, Momo is an economical business mogul.

111

I love the pictures on the website.

112

I know exactly what I'm getting myself into.

113

Um, okay, now I'm confused.

114

As you scroll down the menu, it slowly goes from Mediterranean food, to Indian food, to Chinese food,

115

to Mexican food, And finally to chicken strips all roads lead back to me eating chicken strips.

116

That's what I've discovered in my life.

117

Anyways, it looks like I'm gonna have an excellent selection of choices here at Momo's, gyros and curries.

118

But the real test is waiting for me inside.

119

Let's do this.

120

I don't know.

121

I felt like I should have had a different final line.

122

All right.

123

I'm walking up to yet another gas station, looking for a sign that this place actually exists.

124

And what do I see?

125

A Momo's menu plastered on the outside window.

126

Momo's, it's in there, I think.

127

What a menu.

128

like the other gas station this one has a great selection of beverages and snacks

129

and after looking in every corner of this gas station

130

i decided this is probably momos there's a table here

131

that's crazy is this momos okay guys sit okay awesome um is it just me

132

or is a sit -down restaurant inside of a convenience store kind of awesome

133

that's a star all right okay all right calm down guys anyways i looked through the menu

134

and i know what i want to order can i try

135

the chicken momos um chicken masala do you have chicken strips oh yeah yeah yeah

136

so those three chicken momos chicken masala chicken strips it's actually really weird going to a restaurant with no reviews

137

because you can't see photos of people's experience you can't see what people think about the place

138

so there's a real chance

139

that this is about to be the best food i've ever eaten in my life

140

or i could die i just felt like i don't know

141

i just felt like raising mistakes of the segment i i mean realistically i'm probably gonna be fine

142

but yeah hopefully that was cool i ordered a lot of food most of

143

which is probably going to be made from scratch

144

so i started a stopwatch to see how long it's gonna take

145

and while i was waiting i saw the owner

146

and asked to interview her about momos

147

so this is cash do you want to introduce yourself my name is case i'm from nepal

148

and we just started like it's almost one month

149

so it's brand new yeah what's your first month been like it's very hard yeah

150

it's getting started it's a little bit slow yeah very slow can you explain what momos is

151

when i came first here in usa

152

i missed our food a lot try to make like taste like from nepal

153

and i try and try finally i got the same taste from nepal

154

so my husband like most momos my momos

155

so we think like we can do our business on this too

156

i came back in with a newfound appreciation for what I'm about to eat, I can only imagine how hard it is to start a restaurant.

157

So I am taking this first review very seriously.

158

Awesome.

159

Thank you so much.

160

Thank you.

161

Momo's has been delivered.

162

I did have a really big order.

163

I got pretty much three entrees.

164

I just couldn't pick.

165

They all looked really good.

166

I will say right off the bat that just having a place to sit is a huge win.

167

The last gas station at Crispy Crunchy Chicken had nothing of the sort.

168

So let's see what's inside.

169

We have a bed of rice, Momo's chicken dumplings, chicken masala, and these must be the chicken strips.

170

I think we can all agree I'm gonna have some leftovers.

171

Can we add a laugh track?

172

No?

173

Why not?

174

Okay.

175

Momo, you have outdone yourself.

176

Are you seeing how good these look?

177

These look like the most fresh dumplings I think I've ever seen.

178

I'm very excited to try everything else, but these are calling my name.

179

Let's give it a shot.

180

Cheers.

181

These look really hot I hope it doesn't burn my head

182

Wow That is insane.

183

Mmm.

184

The texture is amazing.

185

The flavor just pops.

186

Holy moly That dumpling alone is a star I had the mindset coming in to review these restaurants

187

that I was gonna be a tough critic

188

But this food completely made me forget about any of that because I was just grateful to be eating it next up

189

We've got the chicken masala.

190

You can literally see with your eyes that it tastes good

191

The flavor is visible.

192

This is one of Haley's favorite foods, so I eat it a lot.

193

Definitely think I'm going to have to bring some home.

194

However, I don't want to speak too soon.

195

Let's actually eat it.

196

I am not exaggerating when I say I need to ask this man for his name so I can thank him personally.

197

I'm bringing the rest of the chicken masala home to Haley.

198

That's going to get me some brownie points.

199

Am I right, boys?

200

Lastly, we have chicken strips.

201

I got the chicken strips, honestly, as a backup.

202

The dumplings and the chicken masala blew me away,

203

so this might just be one of those things where someone's coming in they want a quick chicken strip

204

it's a solid chicken strip it's not gonna add a star to my review

205

but it's pretty much everything you could ask for

206

so hmm I packed up my leftovers brought them home to Haley

207

and this is my review for momos next up kick a sushi

208

I'm as confused as you are the last restaurant was in a gas station

209

and this one is in a grocery store I don't know about you

210

but I'm starting to see a trend i took off my suit jacket

211

because i was sweating profusely

212

i'm about to eat dinner at kicka sushi whole foods gets thousands maybe millions of customers every day

213

but do they even know that kicka sushi exists let's go see

214

if it does pretty cool i walked into whole foods

215

and i don't even know where to start looking for kicka sushi so i decided to interview some locals.

216

Have you heard of Kika Sushi?

217

No, I haven't.

218

Have you heard of Kika Sushi?

219

I have not.

220

Have you guys heard of Kika Sushi?

221

No. No, okay.

222

Excuse me, have you heard of Kika Sushi?

223

Kika Sushi?

224

Yes, actually.

225

Just when I thought all hope was lost, an amazing Whole Foods employee escorted me all the way to Kika Sushi.

226

So this is Kika Sushi.

227

They have tons of sushi, which I probably should have expected, but I'm easily impressed.

228

They also have a fun menu with a variety of rice bowls.

229

I think a big reason that people might not know it really exists is

230

because it doesn't even have the name kika sushi anywhere

231

but it looks delicious

232

so let's give it a shot can i get salmon teriyaki white rice please yes thank you

233

while i was waiting for my order i looked around the produce area a bit

234

and found an apple oh awesome cheers thank you i'm trying to figure out how to pay for this

235

but also how many restaurants are in this grocery store

236

that don't have any reviews the eatery next level burger juice land i don't think this is considered a restaurant, but still.

237

I went to self -checkout and got my teriyaki bowl for $15 at 49 cents.

238

Very expensive, but maybe it'll be worth it.

239

Whole Foods has these utensil dispensers.

240

I mean, come on.

241

That was awesome.

242

Okay, let's eat.

243

Bon appetit.

244

Whole Foods has this nice seating area outside, so nice to eat at a table.

245

Just barely beats eating on that sidewalk outside of crispy, crunchy chicken.

246

This meal looks beautiful.

247

It was pricey, but it looks like really high quality ingredients.

248

It's hard not to feel like I'm reviewing

249

Whole Foods because I got this apple from the produce section.

250

Am I going to eat it as part of my Kika sushi experience?

251

Honeycrisp is the best apple.

252

What do you want me to do?

253

Okay, I finished my appetizer.

254

Let's try out this salmon teriyaki bowl from Kika Sushi.

255

So what we're looking at here is a teriyaki glazed grilled salmon topped with sesame seeds, which is super duper yummy.

256

The bowl also comes with white rice soaked in teriyaki.

257

Oops, sorry.

258

Yeah, I'm pretty uncoordinated and it is also really good.

259

Yeah.

260

I don't know what this is.

261

Is it lettuce?

262

I don't eat vegetables.

263

I'm gonna do it.

264

I'm gonna try.

265

One day I'll grow up.

266

I enjoy the rest of my meal basking in the sun, dodging vegetables, and honestly, it was a great time.

267

I really enjoyed this.

268

After I finished my meal, though, I remembered what was at stake here, and I knew I had to get to writing.

269

I have a large variety of weird pens.

270

Here's my review.

271

Next up, El Gran Agazajo Mexican and Italian Cuisine.

272

We made it.

273

I love Italian cuisine and I love Mexican cuisine, so we're off to a great start.

274

This restaurant is directly off of a highway, so that's awesome.

275

But what does

276

El Gran Agazajo translate into?

277

The Great Royal Welcome.

278

That's a big promise.

279

We'll see what kind of welcome I receive upon entry.

280

I don't know how I feel about the suit.

281

I don't mean to change the subject.

282

I'm just getting really worried that I'm making a scene by wearing this everywhere.

283

Right off the bat, one thing I will give this restaurant purely by examining it from the outside, vibes.

284

The vibes are off the charts.

285

I mean, this is the type of place you come on the weekend with your friends and just grub.

286

Their website domain has unfortunately expired.

287

It's currently up for auction.

288

There's not much information about this place online, but whoever is running their social media accounts needs a raise

289

because they're hustling harder than I even am on my own Joyride account.

290

I mean, that's just great content.

291

How do they even do that effect.

292

I'm not familiar with that effect.

293

Anyways, I'm not just standing here to sweat in a suit

294

and listen to ambient traffic noises that will probably cause hearing damage long term.

295

Let's go get a meal and a royal welcome.

296

Oh, it's closed.

297

Koki Cafe.

298

I don't know what that means.

299

The suit was fun while it lasted, I know, but instead of this restaurant taking me seriously, I want them to take me for granted.

300

No, that's not what I meant.

301

Honestly, I don't like people thinking that I just got out of court.

302

I just want to enjoy my meal.

303

The restaurant in question is Cokie Cafe.

304

So naturally, I'm like, oh, it looks cute.

305

What does Cokie mean?

306

I look it up on Google, and apparently, Cokie is the sound of males trying to attract females and repel other males during mating season.

307

This whole shopping center is a little confusing.

308

I see two and maybe three food trucks, including

309

Taste to Island.

310

It's tempting not to go there, but I'm staying focused on Cokie Cafe.

311

Here's a map view of the whole place.

312

I'm standing right here.

313

This restaurant is really close to Target,

314

which is nice because I actually had to go to Target really bad I walked in ran into my boy Lewis.

315

We went to college together I walked into the candy aisle

316

and what do I see a bunch of candy sitting right next to joyride

317

If you don't know by now joyride is my candy brand

318

and my dream is to make it the top selling candy in target

319

Even though we don't use any fake colors or junk ingredients so far

320

We've actually ranked in the top five selling candies, but to beat the final four we're gonna need all of you guys

321

So if you don't live in america, just follow joyride on instagram that would help so much

322

But if you do live in America, go to Target, get some Joyride, scan the QR code on the back,

323

upload your receipt, because over the next two months, I'm going to be picking five lucky winners to receive these new rare Joyride candies,

324

and I'm even going to be hand -delivering one of the boxes to you guys.

325

So join the climb, and let's get Joyride to the number one selling candy in Target

326

so we can change the world of candy.

327

So now that I've got my dessert, let's go write the first review at Cokie Cafe.

328

First impressions, Cokie Cafe, kind of a vibe.

329

Hello, how's it going?

330

I'll do the coffee with milk and I'll just have waffles.

331

Is there anything else you recommend?

332

I mean, there's a breakfast paper.

333

Okay, I'll do that with the eggs and bacon.

334

That's gonna be it.

335

Guys, I ordered a coffee.

336

They have a coffee bar with all kinds of condiments for their guests including hot sauce

337

i immediately got distracted by this infomercial that was playing on literally max volume

338

but somehow i found a way to finish preparing my coffee

339

it's actually delicious like really really good that's a star and

340

while waiting for my food to come

341

i walked over to this lounge area super cozy that's a star

342

i'm here with nayelis this is my first time here is this your family

343

that runs a restaurant yes no way that's awesome what's uh one goal

344

that you guys have just as a family and as a restaurant.

345

I mean to just make people happy and fill up their stomachs and make them enjoy the food.

346

I love it.

347

I've got a nice plate here of tater tots, bacon, eggs, and toast.

348

The coffee's actually so good.

349

Also, I'm sorry if there's a lot of background noise.

350

Our options were either sitting right next to the TV that's constantly playing infomercials or the fan that's on max speed.

351

I decided to sit next to the fan.

352

Tater tot tax.

353

They're really good.

354

I was about to start eating my classic American breakfast, but then I realized my waffles had arrived.

355

I didn't notice my waffles arrive.

356

When did they get there?

357

I didn't even hear her set that down.

358

That's crazy.

359

Guys, I'm so locked in filming these YouTube videos.

360

Smash like and subscribe, please.

361

I don't know.

362

First, I tried the bacon.

363

I love bacon, so this was good.

364

Next, I tried the eggs.

365

Pretty standard, but that's just how I like them.

366

Next, it was time to get into this bread.

367

It broke apart beautifully, and it tasted amazing.

368

Finally, I poured some syrup onto the waffle, sliced it apart, and gave it a bite.

369

Literally, after one bite of that waffle and I'm ready to hang this plaque up right here.

370

No, I'm just kidding.

371

They probably wouldn't be happy about that.

372

I mean, it's one of the best waffles I've had in a long time.

373

That's all I'm trying to say.

374

All right, well, Koki Cafe is actually closing.

375

My meal was delicious.

376

I love Koki Cafe.

377

There, I said it.

378

I think not wearing a suit made me a little bit less intimidating.

379

I'm pretty naturally intimidating as it is, just the way that I normally am every day.

380

A lot of people kind of just scared of me the way that I look.

381

Anyways, let's write this review.

382

Next up is this barbecue place.

383

All right, here we are.

384

Perez Barbecue.

385

I'm in the cutest small town of all time.

386

Look at this downtown street and look at this light pole donated by Roy Gill.

387

That's the type of thing you see in small towns.

388

First impressions, I love everything about this barbecue stand.

389

First of all, it's only open on the weekends.

390

Newsflash, it's the weekend.

391

Yeah, I like to do my research when I film videos.

392

Looks like they've got a smoker currently smoking meats.

393

Pretty nice.

394

There's also a seating area, some historic pieces like this train car all pretty fun from

395

what i can tell perez barbecue mostly gets the word out via facebook posts like just lots

396

and lots of facebook posts that

397

and a slogan stain in shirts since the 80s good thing

398

i'm not wearing white i've made a dire mistake based on

399

that slogan they've been in business for 45 years

400

and they've never gotten a single review that's either a really good thing

401

or everyone who's ever eaten here has died the point is i'm gonna break a 45 year -long drought if I survive.

402

Let's go grab some food.

403

Hello.

404

Good, good.

405

You guys have everything still?

406

Yeah, brisket, ribs, chicken, sausage.

407

Awesome, all right.

408

It's been in our family for about 40 years now.

409

Wow.

410

Can I just get a quarter pound of chicken, brisket, ribs, and sausage?

411

All right.

412

I am so excited to eat barbecue.

413

They got out the brisket it looks amazing it looks so good and don't even get me started on those ribs

414

barbecue secured this was $25 but there's so much food in here

415

434

That's crazy.

435

What would you rate this place?

436

1 ,000 out of a five.

437

All right, Anthony.

438

So nice to meet you.

439

Thank you so much.

440

Thank y 'all guys.

441

That's the most chill Chihuahua I think I've seen in a long time.

442

I know he can't read, but can we all just...

443

Bam, we love you

444

Chip in the comments.

445

It's gotta mean something to him.

446

Finally, it's time to eat.

447

The sausage was unbelievable.

448

That 100 % earned a star right there.

449

Chip might have just bumped the rating up even higher as well.

450

The meal doesn't come with utensils because most people just pick it up and go home.

451

But they did give me a spooky plate with free bread to make a sandwich.

452

And that is service.

453

Okay, I'm gonna eat this now.

454

As I'm taking these bites of barbecue and desperately trying to avoid getting stains on my white clothing,

455

I'm having this realization that I never try new restaurants.

456

I pretty much only eat at Chipotle and McDonald's.

457

Meanwhile, there are restaurants in my area serving some of the best food I've ever had in my life, and I don't even know about it.

458

Not to be dramatic, but I think this video is changing my life.

459

Anyways, here's my review.

460

It has been two weeks since I last recorded for this video.

461

I have been going back and forth in my mind of who deserves this plaque as the best restaurant with no reviews.

462

I ate so much good food throughout this video.

463

I met so many awesome people it's not an easy decision

464

but i have come to the conclusion that there is one restaurant

465

that is simply untouchable it is the best

466

it deserves the world the food is incredible the people are amazing

467

i believe in it i want it to succeed

468

and this plaque represents that so not only am i going to go in there

469

and surprise them with this plaque but they said

470

that their biggest struggle is getting new customers because they just opened

471

and it's hard to get word out so i brought a bunch of friends

472

and at the end of this video i'm going to put their address

473

so without further ado let's go surprise momo's

474

I asked a bunch of my friends to come to a gas station 25 minutes outside of the city

475

but I promised them that when they try the food it's going to be

476

so worth it

477

so cash I've been going through all of Austin trying to find the best restaurant with no reviews

478

and momo's by far and away is absolutely the best restaurant in Austin

479

so we got you this cake

480

because I'm leaving a five -star review yes make a wish how about we eat some food we ordered

481

so much food we got chicken momos chicken masala

482

and the combination euros all of the food was amazing everyone was shocked

483

that this restaurant previously had no reviews

484

I asked everyone to describe the food in one word listen

485

to this it's incredible fantastic blessing yummy drippy macula glass slime delectable yummy just delicious now

486

that we're all stuffed and everyone agrees that momos is amazing I just had one last thing to do

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
