As an asian, I can fully understand why Akira just nodded and kept quiet when Gordon was scolding him, it was a way to show respect. In most asian countries, nodding back when being scolded, especially if the one scolding you is an elderly, is a sign of respect. He kept his composure, he looked like he had a lot to say but he didn't.
@annokitsune.worldbridger im Filipino.
Someone send this to Gordon
Sorry but I think anxiety is the main reason. I feel Akira because I struggle with that too. When you meet someone with a completely different wavelength, you struggle to keep up and your mind goes completely blank. On top of that, he is in a difficult spot. And his wife? Instead of showing support, his wife interrupts him and put him down furtherf. No way he wouldn't shut down completely.
@@shutupntakemymoni can we shut up about this pls ,for all our sakes let's just watch wnjoy and keep our thoughts to ourselves
@@lukenelson5386 Not sure which part of my comment offended you but I don't think I said anything toxic. Neither am I putting Akira down in anyway. For you to ask people to shut up and keep the thoughts to ourselves, I assume you don't ever comment on anything? Or have you only posted positive comments your entire life?
The wife scolding him saying "is he doing enough?" at the sushi bar, while doing literally nothing herself except eyeball him. Christ, no wonder he got so ground down until Gordon came in.
Yea she was piping the pool boy and had already made up her mind that he was a loser.
Yeah Gordon picked up on that early
Ditz.
Exactly
@@stevenroberts614Bruh what?
Akira: 😁👨🍳 🍙🍣
Wife: "I don't think he's working very hard."
Also her: 🕴️
So basically KAREN
🤣
At least she help, she feel for her kids, she can talk, speak for his husband.
@@soda1706 not needed.
Lisa: "I'm so pissed that Akira losing his ability to speak."
Also Lisa: *Interrupted him when talked to Gordon*
"I need you to shut up for 2 minutes" omg I'm so glad he said that.
30:07 LOL
That killed me
His mouth is sewn shut what do you expect?

This episode was actually pretty damn heartbreaking for once the owner isn't a ignorant moron who thinks his food is amazing he just needed a kick in the right direction props to his kids raised so well
The funny thing is out of all the owners and chefs, he is by far the most talented and humble.
@@nyk604 Indeed. When he went back in the kitchen even before the new menu his food was loved by the customers. That lady called it the best sushi she ever had. And i know its television but they put that in the show cus it means smthng.
The worst part is this restaurant had the worst performance after kitchen nightmares shutting within 5 months - before the show even aired. I almost didn’t want to search it because they are such a great hardworking family
Akira = Sincere + Talented + Humble = Deserves all the help he got from Gordon and all other good things in life.
Best chef on this show imo. I really really like him. He's also got a super good looking family. They are good looking inside and out like Akira and his family have it all. They have the looks and the personality like wow. They won the lottery when it came down to looks and personality.
Honestly the transformation was astounding. Such a nice guy and you could see straight away he knows what he's doing. And the customer interactions were great. You can definitely tell Lisa is a big part of the problem.
@@nutyyyyunfortunately the place closed down a few months after Gordon left.
@@Loganbubwhat really ? why ? is it because of lack of customers again ?
Akira is one of the only non toxic restaurant owners I've seen in this whole series.
There is one more, the owner of mam Rita
Japanese bro!!
Innocent and good man
Because Akira is an actual chef turned manager not just a random person thinking cooking and managing a restaurant is easy.
What about buddy?!
The man is depressed... burnt out. What he needed was emotional support and a big, big vacation, far away from the restaurant.

And from his wife
@@jesuschrist_is_comingrepen2859 get lost and get. Alife
Yep. It didn't take me long to realize how depressed he is. He really need to step back and take care of his mental health before anything. All this pressure and the constant judgement from his wife is heartbreaking.
@@jesuschrist_is_comingrepen2859 Allah is god but different beliefs
The simple fact that Gordon used Akira's sons pictures on the wall means so much.
For anyone curious; unfortunately, Sushi Ko is now closed.
They closed on the 8th of August, 2009. A year or so before the episode even got to air. Lisa says the relaunch may have come a bit too late and the business was already going under. Sammy's blog had a rather large statement on it but some key points are how the areas economy may have something to do with it and how the entire family went from incredibly excited to devastated as the closure happened mere months after the episode was wrapped.
A true shame. Wherever Akira, Lisa, Sammy and Hana are today I wish them the best of luck.

underrated comment
Thank you for the update!
Yeah I was looking for this comment. Most of the featured restaurants usually don't end up well it's sad :(
Gordon is not only a Chef, he's a family counselor as well
Honestly, he's the best therapist.
Exactly ! Straight to the problem solving ! No bullshit!
Imao true
He's a better family physciatrist than Dr Phil
It's heavily researched and he's fed what to say over the dozens of hours they've already recorded and interviewed them....
Lisa: he doesnt comunicate anymore :(
Akira: i do-
Lisa: *cuts him off*
Not only that but Lisa clearly doesn't care about the restaurant or her husband. Heck she is not worry for her kids! Lisa just want to money and the fame, nothing more! I hope she will make efforts and help her family :)

@@ladypool1404 I think she is in for the money, my thoughts 😂🤔
@@Bilal2303 17:09
She just talks too much and he doesn't say a thing. She does had a point, he had given up even his children felt neglected by him. He is depressed
This was the most emotional episode of kitchen nightmares that I've seen
1 up
Technoblade pfp😭😭
Yeah I’ve watched this a few times made me cry each time poor man
Techno pfp hahaha
It's a legendary episode. Seen it many times.
Let's be real. The wife was 100% the problem. While it's important to acknowledge that she absolutely had to struggle for 4 years on her own, it's also clear that she does not take criticism well. She also believes herself to be corrected all the time.
Literally every restaurant's problem is the wife or the owner's ego simple as that😅
it is hard to get the full picture through a show like that AND it is unfair to judge a persons behaviour when they are on their edge and exhausted. It looks like Akira has severe depression and that is so hard on a partner. I think we do not need to talk about blame and fault here... we do that too often as human beings when things are more complex. Certain behaviors are a problem, absolutely. A person 100%? feels like unfair bashing. Did you also see how in need she was for his emotions? And how she cheered him on when he showed them? This is a long story and she certainly picked up some behaviors while he was unavailable, yeah, but that is not necessarily her identity, her complete character.
@@sasindu2626huh? The problem is almost never the wife, even here it's not the wife its that this guy gave up completely and refused to ask for help. In fact its more likely that the male owners are taking advantage of their wives, like the dude who sinked 300k of his wife's money
Well, at first I honestly though the sushi pizza was likely her idea of hip fusion food...then I could not believe a great chef not taking taste and feedback from his staff and family serously.
Did Gordon really call the owner a little pocket rocket? 🚀
Akira with his family:
O-O
Akira with 7 fridges:

Damm he's castling with his family, makes sense.

Akira is a perfect example of a Japanese man, polite, kind, down to earth, humble, gold hearted...
China > Japan
Agree to all but gold hearted
First time the f bombs bothered me. I can't see Akira using foul language.
I don’t agree. He seems weak willed.
Akira’s face seeing those Traulsen refrigerators is just priceless! The pure joy on that man’s face!
You can tell he had done his research on those things in the past. Probably even had them in his “wish list” of things he wanted if he ever had the money to replace his equipment. The way he said “Traulsen?” is evident of that
Imagine seeing heaven for the first time
A japanese person must be in a dark place thinking sushi pizza is a good idea.
I think he purposely recommended the sushi pizza to Gordon so that it will be removed from the menu. Although the wife said the pizza is bad so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it works in a lot of places. It's a very popular item in japanese restos these days hahah
I can bet that was Lisa's idea telling him how to run a business... The first reason he started stepping back from doing what is needed with all the nagging... Japanese are known to teaching lessons the hard way... Unfortunately, Lisa did not grow out of her old hurtful vengeance against her own family... She's only looking for control...
It might of worked if not for"Spicy Mayo"
Sushi pizza sounds amazing
Akira: *Works his arse off*
Lisa: "I don't think he's working hard enough."
Akira: *Makes a single mistake*
Lisa: "Now's my time to shine!"
she literally does nothing except for being a nuisance 😐. he is obviously one of those gentlemen that would do everything for his kids and wife without help but she seems quite ungrateful and fucking rude. no wonder he lost all passion with no support system.
@@lilegg301 true
She's toxic, it's clear he's been emotionally and psychologicaly abused.
@@KatMcKiv thats a bold statement
I know right and the audacity of her to body shame him😐
The mood in the kitchen when Akira was cooking again was actually great for once. No shouting everyone saying please and thank you… I’ll work there anytime of the day
I didn't expect to get so emotional during an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Akira is a wonderful, genuine man. Watching him light up when he heard about the fridges was so sweet. I really wish him and his children the best!
Shame they closed 4 months before it aired back in 2010.
@@kindlepinder6800 Dibs on the daughter
I can actually understand why akira just nodded his head and listened to gordon's scolding without saying anything back. In most asian households we're taught to nod, accept and agree with them since childhood, the silence is to show respect to the elders, talking back or even giving opinions is often seen as rude.
No it's because talking back means the belt 😂
Yea i felt that bro
@@justinz.4069 in our house, it was the clotheshanger
@@justinz.4069 In my household it was a wooden spoon. I once got hit with the spoon so hard it broke, then a second spoon was swung at me for breaking the first.
Asian homes are no joke.
@@justinz.4069 It were the random things being thrown like a comb 💀
This is probably the only episode when the owner is deserved to be in the kitchen
It's really sad that a few months after filming, it closed. :(
@@kroaktown Really?
Even though akira was not very expressive at times, but he always respected every individual
@@atharvavaidya1433 yeah :(
@@kroaktown that’s sad :(
UPDATE: Akira and Lisa were said to be looking for another location with a lower rent. Instead, Sushi-Ko closes in 2010 and Akira left the restaurant business behind, now working as an importer.
You welcome ❤
Thank you.
Prayers for that family ❤
Your the best

Wonder if her name really was karen? 😊
Akira is so humble and kind... He takes criticism in a good way... He deserves whatever good things will happen to him in the future and these is the kind of person who deserves to be help... He is down to earth
*man on brink of suicide*
Gordon : "ive got you SEVEN FRIDGES"
man : 0 o 0
3 am and I just burst out laughing thanks man

This made me laugh.. and I was not in a good mood.. so thanks a lot haha
LMFAOOOOOO

What a useless woman
@@PoptartParasol yes its so sad
My talent is picking up plates
How is Gordon a therapist, chef, and a critique, and never ceases to amaze me
The look of pure joy on Akira's face when he heard about the fridges, I can't, like it was truly pure happiness, so whole some to watch 🤗
Sadly right after 4 months after Ramsay’s visit, it closed down. Akira said it just doesn’t work out, seems he unfortunately back to his old habit without he realized.
Can we just talk about Akira’s posture? Look at how straight that back is. Goddamn.
hahahahhah bro
A lot of Japanese people I know have really good posture.
Bro that’s a stick not a spine a stick
in Asia some schools do procedures to make sure your back is straight. thats why a lot does have good postures
I'm asian but i have european posture.. is it bad ?
I could tell that Akira has a very Japanese culture. When Gordon was telling him the mistakes he made he’s just looking down and listening and not saying anything he almost looks like a normal salary man getting told off by their boss
Are you stupid? It’s known from the start that he’s Japanese. It’s not that hard to figure out my guy.
@@Freaky_Lemonade "japanese culture" He was mean it's have a shamefull when doing mistake. Do you know seppuku? It's a suicide ritual when the samurai failed on their mission or doing something bad.
@@jimmy-wl5tz wait so he basically meant Japanese depression but can’t kill himself cuz forced into child care
@@Freaky_Lemonade No. He's saying that Akira's behaviour i.e being non-confrontational when being scolded is typical of ppl who are born and raised in Japan. Conventionally, it's not a good thing to have an "in-your-face" attitude in Japan so Akira probably did not say anything when he was scolded by Gordon about his work, particularly since there was merit in the criticism.
Also, in Japanese work culture, when you are criticised that much for your work (particularly in the service industry where Japan prides itself in having great customer service) it can be seen as shameful so I can understand why he is very quiet and a little flustered when Gordon is screaming at him. He doesn't know what to say
@@annatan378 yeah I was thinking that as well
BEST EPISODE! I cried, I smiled, I laughed, without having a tension caused by an arogant owner/chef. Akira is an awesome man, he's like, finding treasure, smiled ear to ear, when having the counters & fridges. I love this family.
You're softhearted, I do also 😥
Once Akira got his mojo back and started running his kitchen you can tell straight away he's an experienced professional chef.
Lovely family. I hope Lisa continues showing her husband some warmth. A man needs to know his woman is behind him.
The biggest problem is his wife. Not that she doesn't support him, she destroyed him mentally. See how Akira has changed back to his old self, he got his passion back, energized, motivated, corrected his little mistake, he smiled and happy but then Lisa just sitting there, waited her chance for him to make a mistake and blame him. See how she said she think he doesn't work hard enough and "worried" about he is not gonna ever be the chef that he should be? that is a legit toxic and strong negative thought which can cause him to demotivated and feel bad. Akira didn't blame her anything or angry at her at all as he truly loved his family. A true gentleman he is. Lastly, his children's are beautiful and kind hearted.
I am baffled why they married, he is clearly a traditional Japanese man which neither Gordon or his wife understand. He cannot believe she would shame him like that in front of Gordon and the TV, while Gordon doesn't understand you cannot talk so bluntly to Japanese people. His wife sucked the life out of him, man of such culture doesn't know how to react to a bitchy wife when such expressions are frowned upon and never discussed in private let alone public. Not a healthy culture IMO but it is what it is and you gotta respect it.
Yeah you gotta put yourself in other peoples shoes before you judge them.
The reason why I'm afraid to marry because people are just good only from the start😬
@@dee_hfgblank1617 true, later on they will reveal their true colours.
I totally agree and that’s why most people prefer to get married with those who share the same culture or were raised in the same environment so those type of things won’t happen and won’t affect the kids. Ignorance has no place in a long-term relationship or it will mostly end up toxic.
It's people like Akira who deserve a second chance at success.
So True..
His wife doesn't
He should divorce her
@@nyorito5208 You forgot to put wife between "his" and "doesn't" I agree though.
@@johnfortres oops sorry thanks for the heads up
I'm sorry I haven't finished it but he just seems like a prick
The scene at home where the son, then daughter, then wife speak to Akira's soul, then his admitting to his responsibility in causing their suffering is VERY touching. Beautiful to see.
Redemption can be powerful and real, and it takes getting to the bottom of the truth to do it.
Thank God for Gordon in bringing truth, spine, empathy and hard work to turn the chapter into new beginnings in failing restaurants.
I found it dumb that Akira's wife is like 'its so sad hes lost his voice now' - ofc he's lost his voice u dont even give him 1 breath where he can intervene and say his opinion! She's constantly talking all over him and he's too polite to say anything! How are people like this it's so damaging to someone's self esteem T.T
I feel like Akira's wife is roasting him more than Gordon himself. Its sad honestly.
Yeah that shit was pretty hard to watch ngl :/
And that moment when Gordon told her to shut up for 2 minutes felt so great! That bitch better need to shut up!
Mogged by Gordon Ramsay
Yeah, but she changed.
100% she cheating on him with a white man
Lisa: "I'm sad that Akira lost his ability to communicate"
Me: "I mean, you always cutting him mid-sentence probably doesn't help."
You were very kind, I was like man she needs to shut up and back off, poor sod is broken. Then Gordon said shut up. The coldness from his wife was a horrible thing to watch.
@@pammipayne3334 Oh, I wasn't kind, that was a euphemism.
@@bouboulroz oh right, it really got me how once he is shown love n positivity and support he becomes a different man.

Wow at 29:42 what a class act guy. Just wow. I got no words. He's got soo much respect. Like he's easily the best chef on this show. His attitude and his food are fantastic. What a fantastic guy. I've got soo much respect for him it's unreal. He deserves success. Him and his family. I really really don't like his wife but his kids and him deserve all the success. Akira I salute you!!!
This show always slaps when eating while watching
When I about to eat my food is mediocre but when I watch the kitchen nightmares it taste different, it taste delicious lol
Akira didn't said a word in early minutes but his eyes tell so much.
thats what i felt too..you could see how much he was suffering..how lost he was..how he needed gordon there to put a shine on him.
@@thesecretwindowspot1298 Couldn't have said it better myself and am getting to like this Gordon Ramsey.
☹☹
@@thesecretwindowspot1298 feel like his issues are probably deeper than the restaurant failing. Its more the symptom than the cause
Because usually every Asian like to bury their mistakes on their feeling forever instead of letting it go. I'm Asian myself and I'm not Japanese but sometimes I do that because I'm afraid to speak up especially to my mom because I'm afraid she's gonna be mad at me but I have to overcome that habit as adult. But, burrying the mistakes forever is a huge mistake even worse it will cause to suicide.
Generally, Japanese are very reserved people. They would rather keep their emotions inside than to act it out which is the opposite of Americans. That is why Akira is not speaking up and it is very stressful to watch him go through this.
He married her. So, no need to feel sorry for him🤷♀️.
@@andreabrava6899 no way Sherlock!

@@y3ee3e that's a common knowledge. What I am saying is the differences of culture result in different approach to confrontation. I am not saying that this approaches are good or bad but just pointing out the differences which we can all see in this video.
yes! I thought so too while watching. It was uncomfortable to see him pressured to react or say something when its so against his culture
I love Akira, he’s actually such a good chef and it was sad to See how broken he’d become but it was so nice to see his passion come back
I think every father will dream to have children like that!
Such supportive and responsible kids!
You get the children you raise. That man can be proud ❤
the way the wife is acting around Gordon is giving me second hand embarassment
imagine how embarrassed her husband was😩
Cringe
I feel like he and her wife experienced some cheating issues. He really wants to say something but looks at her wife first and since he knows it’s gonna affect her so much, he rather hide it. I don’t know but that’s how I saw it. 😓
@@ilovejeffhardy3906 the wife seems a little excited with other men and doesnt respect her husband. Thats what I see too

@@spectrickx1678 It’s very sweet but also sad because they have that burden on them
I totally felt it when the son said "that's my picture" during the reveal. Like both father and son had been restricted from greatness by the place.
22:08 I am really glad she actually told how much she loves her dad. I didn't got to say and when I realised it was already too late. Just really happy she said it, my eyes are teary right now
This was such a good episode, Akira really was just so broken down. And even when Gordon was scolding him he wasn't even fighting back. You can tell how much the daughter just loves her dad, she misses his happiness and just wants him to be okay. Honestly I think the wife was the problem! During the relaunch when she said "I still don't think he's working very hard" dude WTF?? She wanted a successful business owner as her husband, even if he was miserable, not a happy chef. Gordon should add family therapist/counselor to his resume for real. I just hope his family continued to support him after Gordon left, and the wife cleaned up her act.
Bless Akira's soul, that guy is authentic & caring. Probably why the kids are so loyal as well. But his wife is very fake and condescending
the kids are awesome really
Its important to remember this episode is 40 minutes of a highly edited show. You shouldn't let that make you to come to any conclusion on what the person is
@@AbdallahTeach what you’re saying is true but like goddamn its too obvious that she’s pretending to be “nice” and her body language too says it all

Your all forgetting that the wife probably became like that because of the frustration. U don’t expect her to stay clam when her husband yeeted himself out the door whenever a problem came up-
I feel like Akira is one of us Asian kids who always get scolded at so we just kept our mouth shut.
Definitely agree!!
The poor man was almost about to cry. Respect for having kept his cool and being so down to earth! Asian culture does teach a lot!
THIS. Personally, how I grew up is that the abuse would get worse and would prolong the more I tried to stand up for myself. Anything out of my mouth that wasn't akin to how Akira was acting was taken as disrespect and backtalk. Acting like how Akira did was the only way I learned (with my family) it would stop, or be over sooner.
@@justadjustor8993 Been there mate! It's obviously a case in most asian households. But of course, it teaches us to be calm and keep our cool even at times when others would probably be exploding cause of anger and other crap.
This is relatable, and then if we cry our moms (or his wife in this case) would then scold us for crying and to tell us to stop crying while literally whooping our arses
Yup this is why am glad to be born here in asia coz I can literally see that I am scolded coz I made a mistake and I have to correct those mistakes
The scene at the end was lovely. Really felt him there. Akita is such a great man. And even a greater chef. I'm seriously impressed. Kudos for this amazing guy!

He married the wrong woman.....
Its clear she doesn't love him anymore..
Look at the kids expression when their dad is in stress or problem and then look at his wife.... Yes. Exactly.
Yeah, it's pretty fucking sad to be honest. He deserves better

his wife is not a mommy he needs to keep impressing with good grades in school
that dude he doesn't need to worry about is well aware of that
@@SugarRainer what
@@sooqa2028 well the
Republic States Supreme Court of Justice (RSSCJ) will fix that
Bruh the wife has some nerve saying "hes not working hard" when she just standing there complaining. Its like she wants him to fail
could be she too is broken, and has not been able to figure out what to do from there, so falls back immediately into poor expectations and bad habits. it often takes years of therapy to break those habits. the entire family needs at least a year of therapy IMO, so they at least can develop skills to help them deal with the dysfunction they all went through. this shit isn't magic you know, serious illnesses rarely cure themselves.
And not to mention she embarassed herself with that stupid dance in the beginning and even spit on that tempura while people is watching at 14:15. You can see even the employees dislike her.
That's not fair, the wife and kids were all working there, he didn't want to cook anymore, became a manager and, when he wasn't pottering around, kept disappearing. They all seemed like they were broken to me. Plus, he seemed more embarrassed by his wife's silly dance, than he did about his awful food and kitchen hygiene. He needs to get his priorities right.
@@sian2337 The kids definetly care to him as you can see that they both are very emotionals. If you look at the family gathering again, the wife is not really as supportive as the kids because in the scene, you can see she's still grumpy while the kids are happy to see their dad is in charge again. These family need therapy and better communication.
I just watched this and damn. I never cry; this had me teary- eyed. Poor guy, and his kids are amazing.
Her saying is she thinks he’s not working very hard when he is putting himself out there. Making sure his customers are happy despite probably feeling like shit is absolutely horrible
I bet Lisa is the the actual reason why Akira become depressed.
yup
Yeah, she just criticizing him without giving good feedback, she won't even let him speak too
@@sssquirt8147 yea
Exactly!!
Wait. You share the same name👀
I feel so satisfied when Gordon " scolded " Akira's wife like that for real , she doesn't literally realize her attitude till somebody points it out to her
Can you give me the time stamps
She's very negative.
@@missmeshapstarrynight6960 29:45
@@hussincute3634 thank you!
She did not realize anything, she knew it, a predator. This satisfies her
hands down the best episode i've seen, tensions melting, positivity all around, transformations in setting and their willingness to embrace change and progress is beautiful
That hug between Father & Daughter! I cried...
It seems like Akira just wanted to rest and retire, but his wife forced him and put more pressure to him which cause this new restaurant failing
I mean pizza sushi. I don’t think Italian and Japanese’s food goes well together in terms of flavours.
@@sidekick4 damn who hurt you
@@themega8319 thank god there is no German bratwurst on it, even this pizza sushi is more chaotic than these 3 countries working together
@@legalisenuclearbombs666 you win the comment section today but sadly this would go over the heads of most people
@@legalisenuclearbombs666 I am glad there is no such thing as an Indian pizza.
‘He’s not doing anything’ she says as she leans against the wall doing FUCK ALL
Yeah it really pissed me off that she had the gall to criticise him after he did in one night what can take months, if not years
She's so disrespectful
you made me laugh ngl
She's a karen
And let's not forget that she danced like an idiot in the beginning and then spit the tempura and then interrupting him every time. At least she's not as extreme as crazy Amy, the full of denial Abby and 64 years old medium girl Gen and realize her mistake.
Japanese "Kouha"man do not talk much and express himself, that was one of virtue. He must have been seriously stressed and upset that he did not do well. Financially supported and feeling love from his family, regaining confidence, I am sure he will be really successful there!
I love this Gordon . The one who helps and cares.
Despite chef Ramsey’s harsh criticism towards Akira, unlike other chefs, I like how Akira was so polite, he was listening and accepting the criticism without taking it to heart but is also keen to change for the better, props to him! ☺️
I think that might be because he's an amazing person, but also he's Japanese and was definitely raised in a different culture
@@ainsalco Yes I think that as well!
I believe it’s also a cultural thing. He is a professional, highly respected in his field and he was asked by them to come and help. So he will probably be very respectful towards Gordon because of how he was raised
@@claryeddie5260 that’s actually sweet!
That’s the Asian culture. We always beat ourselves so hard..
You can tell that this guy literally died inside because of the wife, also she let her kids believe that their father was a lazy ass jerk..... Mannn.... You can see the passion and fire in his eyes
Lmao no. She was tired of seeing her husband walk away all the time, he died inside because of him letting it happen, she didn’t let the kids believe anything if they themselves saw, AND agreed to it. Lmaooa
@@cow8212 ok
He died inside because of his business going down and so then his spirit also going down. His kids are genuinely worrying about him and even though they mostly don't want to be there, but they have to help the business, hence why the daughter crying all the time. But, his wife just makes it worse by drowning his spirit.
@@margarethmichelina5146 yeah you are right
@@cow8212 I bet she screamed at him every day how you are getting worse/ doing worse as a person compared to before when he was young and as a manager that he started to believe his capability was only what she said it was. Its really obvious cuz she speaks with her emotions and without thinking much. He who been with her for years obviously got effected. His doesn't raise his voice much on her and she feels like its not getting to him do she take it up another level.
An adorable family brought back to life. Thank you Gordon Ramsay
This might be my favourite episode. Never though I would almost cry in an episode.
When Akira and Hana hugged I bawled. That little girl had so much love for her dad and could see him suffering. She is too precious for this world.
And she is so cute
@@theultrabasedputin9099 and she is in star trek
When I saw this comment the video showed it lol
She is indeed a flower, as her name indicates...

Great work Gordan! hope the family keeps close & keeps to what Gordan has guided them. BTW CZcams,, how many adverts!!!??
Akita immediately getting excited and asking “Traulsen? Traulsen??”
He had big plans for the restaurant at some point but gave up. Top end appliances are something he dreamed of
Protect Akira at all costs
Its agonising to watch how his wife is treating him.. The verbal abuse in front of Gordon Ramsey was so uncalled for
Not just that,he should divorce the wife & it even seem that his employees doesn't seem to respect him,even laughing at 'sushi pizza' when gordon mentioned it.
Sure it was weird to see a sushi pizza,but they need to respect that.
The chef asking back at Gordon regarding the hair,tells you that they don't care about their work.They are just there for the money.
Of course,these are the minority,but man,i feel bad for Akira.
I am asian myself & although i am not Japanese,i wish people would just respect Japanese food & do their job properly.
Him and his family (NOT WITH HIS WIFE) should go to buy some milk, and never come back…
@@tommyfield8449 it may sound awful to say things bad at someone who looks depress but you got to remember that is HIS restaurant.
If it sucks then you don't sugarcoat it. Lying won't help a sad person feel happy.
If there is anything a depress person don't want is someone who lies to them just to make them feel better. Believe me I have been through stuff also so I know what I'm talking about.
@@evenskyzhekovic2538 There’s a difference between helping someone understand what’s wrong with what they’re doing and straight up mocking and laughing at them for it
@Quax She was putting him down and never showed a single sign of support.
The fact that Lisa was getting excited and smiling when Gordon was criticizing Akira was hideous
I agree, like she's happy seeing her husband going down. She's like she didn't care about him and she didn't support him
Ikr. Who would want a partner like that.
Meanwhile, when Akira got his spirit back, she's looking grumpy and waiting for a chance to yell at him when he made a mistake. She's clearly a very toxic person.
@GNR 1978 FOREVER if that's the case you're just not good for each other and/or something in the relationship isn't going well. couples can stay their entire life together and still deeply love each other
@GNR 1978 FOREVER who are you calling kid lmao? And if you really think that you haven't been around the right people
Such a sweet and lovely family, so humble and polite and respectful, they are good people inside out! This episode was so touching! The children omg I wanna hug them, and wow they are beautiful, the girl looks like an angel and the young man.. so incredibly handsome, he looks like a moviestar 😍
This episode was so emotional 🥺
I feel like this is the only time the owner wasn't rude.
Asian act different
Can't talk back if you can't even talk yea
I mean .....hes japanese
This guys wasn't rude at all. It's the culture. And it's not a stereotype. Majority of Asian especially Japanese know how to behave at other people place. I remember that one time a bunch of white people naked at the top of Mount Kinabalu. Soon after, there is earth-quake and it destroy they house near that mountain. That's why you should respect the rule at the place where you are there. You probably don't believe the culture but respect it.
Hahahha....japanese culture
This is the smoothest episode ever. And probably the most unproblematic owner.
Yusss , the wife seemed problematic but Akira was the best owner I’ve seen in Kitchen Nightmares

It almost feels like the wife was trying to mirror Gordon, in a desperate attempt to be noticed or liked by him. Everything from mercilessly going at Akira (which doesn't work when you're in the same hole as him, as well as having no prior achievements to show for yourself.) to spitting out the broccoli or that embarrassing dance she did at the beginning. I just felt bad for Akira throughout the whole episode. Hope he's doing good now.
??????? ok wow big compassion here.
The restaurant closed like a few months after this was recorded lol
Fr dude it gave me second hand embarrasment. ESPECIALLY the dance like bro wtf was that 💀💀. It was so over the top.

Poor Akira... it's important to support your partner
This was one of the best episodes! The owner was so embarrassed and didn't talk much but it's night and day his mood and attitude by the end of the episode!
