Only in L.A. can you slurp noodles and sit where a global superstar filmed a music video. In the city where every street corner could double as a film set, even a humble ramen shop might hide a pop culture gem. And yes… this one does.
Back in 2021, Bad Bunny released his standalone hit Yonaguni, a track about heartbreak and the pain of watching a lover move far away to the remote Japanese island that gives the song its name. The lyrics fuse reggaeton with melancholy, Spanish with Japanese, and quickly turned the song into a massive hit.
For the opening scene of the video, El Conejo Malo decided to film a few moments in a ramen restaurant right here in the city. The chosen spot? Hachioji Ramen, a beloved local eatery known for its hearty dishes, and now, a must-visit for Bad Bunny fans.
In the video, you can see him sitting at an indoor table, wearing a cap and sunglasses, chopsticks in hand as he sings. That exact table is still there, and the restaurant even highlights it as the spot where Bad Bunny sat. Bring the right outfit, and you can easily recreate the look for your own Instagram moment. Bonus: you can also try their Bunny Roll, a dish dedicated to the artist himself.

A taste of L.A. at the Super Bowl
Beyond Benito’s love for Los Angeles expressed in Yonaguni, during his historic Super Bowl Halftime Show, he gave a special moment to a local staple. As he moved through the colorful staging, he stopped at a stand for Villa’s Tacos, instantly turning the neighborhood taco spot into part of pop culture history.
The restaurant celebrated the cameo with an emotional Instagram post that night, thanking Bad Bunny for bringing them “onto the field” and representing their community on the biggest stage possible. From neighborhood stand to Super Bowl shout-out… not bad for a taco!
