It wasn't any reviews that made me not try it. It was the ridiculous prices. I'm not a cheapskate and I'm perfectly fine with paying for expensive meals and things. I just don't like to feel ripped off. And charging $15 for a bowl of ramen soup in Durham, NC is gonna make me feel ripped off.

But that's just my two cents.

The more I read on Yelp, the more I'm convinced that it's full of wannabe writers focused on wordy reviews and not necessarily accurate on the rating of the food itself. I read the google reviews instead.

I pay little to no attention to Yelp. I figure some of those idiots are internet trolls running around giving negative reviews. Some probably never ate there. Sorry...just my opinion

I was in Costco today, and Shin Ramen is there giving out samples and running specials. You can get 3x 4-packs (mix and match: Mild, Medium, Hot) for $12.99, I think. And you can sample their different varieties.

It made me think of this thread and all my CD-R buddies.

This was just added to the Korean chicken thread. New ramen place in Cary called Noodle Blvd. More reasonably priced than dashi.

Ramen has a heavier broth with wheat noodles I believe. I like pho better with the rice noodles.

Yes, it is definitely different. Is one or the other 'better' ... depends on your personal tastes and how well each is made in my opinion.

My family loves Ramen and I've been doing research on options around Raleigh, there is a good thread on restaurants that serve Ramen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/raleigh/com...en_in_raleigh/

In my experience the ingredients in pho are pretty standard, you are just swapping out the type of meat used but everything else is the same. Ramen has quite a bit of diversity, there are different types of noodles, broth (soy,chicken,pork based), and ingredients and condiments for each type of ramen style. It can be a wonderful filling meal and nothing like what we all had to eat as broke college students
