Average to great ramen in Japan ranges from 700-1100 yen a bowl. If a domestic ramenya can make great ramen, I would not hesitate to pay $11 a bowl. Unfortunately, ramenyas in the SF Bay Area offer bowls ranging from "utter crap" to "somewhat good". At the "somewhat good" places, I don't mind paying $8-10 a bowl.
