FoodTubers are everywhere, and they set themselves apart from mukbangers because they don't eat extreme amounts and they typically show off the foods of specialty locations that fanbases have always wanted to visit. Japan is a popular hotspot, as is Disney and Universal, and a handful of other parks and countries.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved sitting down to eat food with someone on screen munching away at curry or a coolish because it gives a feeling of company. While that might seem sad, I assure you, it's quite pleasant, just give it a try. Now let's begin our dive into the top 15 Foodie Youtubers that are quite enjoyable to watch!

14. DancingBacon
DancingBacon Streetfood Compilation
Dancing Bacon is a peculiar case. He tries not to be loud, get in anyone’s way, or be aggressive at all. In fact, the main reason so many flock to his channel is because he provides sensory sensitive viewers a relaxing and calm experience, with quiet locations and an easy going demeanor. If you suffer from “Oh God Shut up, Nickacado I Hate You” syndrome, as I do, he is the channel you should visit. He often captures the moment most elegantly, from conveyor belt establishments to vending machines on the road, he will give a quiet, enjoyable review

A king young woman who travels Asia reviewing foods across various countries and cities. She also checks out American grocery and convenience stores to review their Asian options, which is great for determining whether your favorite snack is simply posing as Japanese. Of course, I jest, but her reviews are honest nonetheless. She has a gentle smile that might steal your heart as she steals your subscription.

10. Mini Mini Food
Mini Mini Food Samosa Recipe
I've got to say, if you want a relaxing video, with calm music, no talking and gentle sounds of cooking, yes, legitimate cooking, then you have got to discover Mini Mini Food. They cook tiny foods and I’ll be damned if I wasn’t ready to feed most of these things to a guinea pig at a tiny gourmet table. The foods that they present are made with careful precision, because if they were not, it would be tough to make tiny food pretty. My full respect goes to this creative channel, as well as my recommendation.

6. The Food Ranger
The Food Ranger Street Food Tour
Asia deserves a deeper look into its food culture, and a huge part of that is its culinary techniques. This man does the deeper looking, digs through the culture and mispronounces it all the way. No matter to that though, as he shows his respect and admiration at all times, and it is clear that he views the works of the chefs and families highly. He is respectable, and makes these topics entertaining to watch.

5. Shinichi’s World
Shinichi Okinawa Food
Shinichi is one half of the Tabi Eats Couple, his personal channel for more Shinichi centric content. Shinichi focuses on travel and the foods around him. He sits down to eat and gives an honest description of what he is eating. His main focus is Japan, but one of his biggest searches tends to be his travels in Hawaii.

4. KantanFood By Satoshi
KantanFood By Satoshi Japans Hottest Noodles
Satoshi is another half, and I would be remiss to split them up for fear of being struck down by my own hubris. Satoshi is the goofball non-native English speaking counterpart and I’ll be absolutely damned if I don't mention his reviews being pure gold. He is completely golden in attitude, and you will always feel welcomed when watching. The experience is as a Japanese kindly Uncle offering you fresh cherries while you chat with him about the restaurant down the street.

3. Cooking with Dog
Cooking with Dog Intro Video
Francis is the host. Francis is also.. A dog. A cute poodle to be precise. With the aid of his non disclosed co host, Francis cooks up a storm. In all seriousness, the co host is an elderly Japanese woman who has so much fun cooking with her buddy that she made a show of it, and made Francis the host. Turns out, it makes for incredibly cute and entertaining videos. Their combo is serious business, I swear. And there is no way I spent an hour and a half watching their videos. Even if I did, it was for research!

2. Raina Huang
Raina Huang 6 lb Chicken Sandwich
Raina is crazy, or so she says. It can be backed up easily by her willingness to travel around and take on eating challenges pretty much anywhere. She is a competitive eater that is fairly successful, one of the top female competitive eaters in America, in fact. As it turns out, her fairly cute smile hides a ravenous and as stated by her own hashtag, crazy stomach.

1. Lisa Nguyen
Lisa Nguyen Spicy Food Compilation
This Youtuber is all about the Youtube shorts and personal compilations. Seriously her channel videos page is basically all Youtube shorts, which makes me think her fanbase is all about that immediate gratification, seeing as even one of her larger series “Raising my spice tolerance” tends to hit 2- 5 minute long videos. All in all, she is a fun youtuber to watch, as she continuously pushes herself and her content to be as good as she can reasonably make it.
