Food vlogger tasted different dishes at the US Open 2025

YouTube vlogger Karissa started off with the iconic $100 chicken nuggets because she was "so curious". While the price seems quite high, Karissa said that for the type of caviar being provided with the dish, the deal is not that bad.

Reviewing the iconic dish from Coqodaq, the vlogger said, "And the caviar was really flavourful. It was almost sweet, kind of fruity, but the chicken nuggets are better in the restaurant I think". She rated it 6/10.

COQODAQ is a a Korean-inspired fried chicken restaurant which started earning fame for their signature items like the Golden Set: 24 Karat six-piece chicken nuggets with Petrossian caviar, crème fraîche, and chives. Various sides and extra sauces are available to customise your experience".

Karissa went on to taste the chicken sandwich with the sweet soy garlic and the kewpie mayo from Coqodaq, which she preferred. While she said it was "nice and crunchy and tender" she thought it could have been juicier. Mentioning that the bun was soft and toasted, she rated the sandwich a 7/10.

Karissa was all praises for PastaRAMEN and she ordered everything from the restaurant since all of it looked delicious. The wafu Caesar Salad, priced at $19 scored a perfect 10/10. The vlogger said, "My favourite thing [was] the wafu Caesar salad. Like the chicken katsu was crispy and delicious and the cheesy rich dressing was like addictive".

The $27 shrimp scampi ramen was "rich", "super garlicky" and "a little bit oily" said Karissa, rating it a 6.5/10. The YouTube vlogger then went on to try the spicy miso calamari and was surprised by how good it was. "It was super tender and that like creamy peppery sauce was delicious", she said. The $23 dish got solid 9/10 rating.

Finally, she tried the bao bun zeppole with Nutella crema for $17 from PastaRAMEN which was crispy on the outside with a "fluffy kind of bouncy bao texture". She rated the final, sugary dish, 8/10.
