reading Yelp Reviews
Okay so I was going through the Yelp reviews of one of my favorite ramen places and saw that most of the one star reviews were:
1) Complaining about lack of service; you order online for context, and so a lot of reviews were complaining about the servers not coming to take their order and just checking up on them from time to time. Personally, I’d like to think this is kind of stupid since most servers in Asia (this happened in the US) aren’t as overly involved with your dining service since tips aren’t expected, and so if these customers really wanted an authentic experience, they’d be in for a shock going to ramen places out of the country.
2) Not exactly ramen related, but some reviews complained about getting food poisoning from eating sushi. Like bffr? It’s RAW FISH, and most restaurants have disclaimers about them too and so I really don’t understand these reviews.

Hey All, I'll be moving to LA and looking to hit all the top tier ramen spots in the area. Don't know where I'll live yet but willing to drive for some soul snatching noodles (within the map boundary). Any and all styles welcome; more interested in craftsmanship/quality and taste. Give me your best (and worst so I can avoid them) please!

making tonkotsu broth, bone to finished broth calculation?
Hey folks, Ive made homemade tonkotsu broth before but i thought i would ask you guys some questions.
Whats your usual bone to final broth ratio? Im doing a big batch this time, 15lbs of neck bones, 3lbs of pig trotters, 3lbs of jowl. We do home canning so I will can a bunch. I know its to taste but after the initial strain and cook down, how much broth do you think this will produce?
Also i was checking around and found recipes different than mine. Isnt the traditional bone broth recipe just pig products and not other ingredients like ginger, onion, etc... ?
Thanks in advance!

Newbie needs help
I am new to homemade ramen and need some help purchasing bowls and spoons. I would like something durable and non plastic, but I am most interested in the opinions of ramen enthusiasts with more experience than I. All opinions on ramen welcome and appreciated.

Ramen experiment idea (I'm curious if you guys would like to participate)
Hello guys and girls,
I had a cool idea that might be interesting to many of you.
Ramen is vast and there are so many styles and recipes and toppings so there is a lot of opportunity to experiment with different tastes and combinations.
Here is it: Let's try and make new and tasty ramen combinations! Using our knowledge and taste, using any cooking book we have, regardless of cuisine.
For this some degree of cooking experience and creativity would be beneficial to make it work.
An example: Chicken Liver Paitan
How would you tackle this?
What would be its core elements and toppings that would best suit this idea?
What broth, tare, flavor oil, noodles, chashu would work best?
What techniques would be used for each element?
What ingredient combinations would work best?
Lets see how that goes and once we have some interesting ideas.
Maybe collectively we find and create great recipe.
There are no stupid ideas.
In the end, once the idea formed we test it out, and post a picture with our analysis and opinions on the dish.

Favorite brand?
Therea are so many different picks from so many different brands, that it can be really hard to pick something good and it could take a lot of taste-testing to find your favorites. So that's what I had to do, over time I've tried almost every distinct product I could get my hands on in local shops, and even though most of them taste almost the same, over time one interesting pattern began to slowly emerge. The first product that surprised me how good and unique it tasted was a Mi Lau Thai. It tasted awesome and unlike any other ramen I've tried yet. Another one that I liked a lot was Oh Ricey, then I noticed a pattern - they were both made by the same brand - acecook. Two of my favorites by the same brand huh? So in a different shop I found another two by acecook - shoyu and tonkotsu cups. And yet again, they were absolutely delicious. I think this acecook brand is becoming my favorite. I can't wait to try more from them. What about you? have you noticed any brands that stood out as tastier than all the others?

Help me make this choice.
Im pretty new to trying ramen. And Id be lying if I said im not hooked.
Man I've only tried the nissin geki chicken noodles and I didn't expect it to be so fricking good.
Because it was so good, im scared to buy something else that is popular and waste my money by not liking it.
So I have a few questions for the popular ramen.
How is Samyang Buldak compared to Geki. I've heard its spicy, and you can only feel the spice but not the flavour. Is it that bad. I had the idea that it is one of the best ones out there.
If not that what would you recommend?? Or should I just keep getting Nissin.

Indomie Oil Packets
Sometimes if I have an extra oil packet I like to add it to some steamed enoki mushrooms or even in chicken noodle soup.
Unfortunately I don’t often have packets to spare. Is there somewhere I can just order the oil itself, or a recipe I could use to replicate it?

Anyone wanna start a buldak sub?
Yeah I'll take the downvotes. Lately it seems that majority of the posts are Buldak-related. just thought that since there's an instantramen subreddit, shouldn't these posts go there? I just think it is a large topic enough to warrant its own subreddit probably. Correct me if im wrong but i dont even think it is Ramen by definition since it has no broth/soup, just a spicy and more premium indomie? Thats all thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
