Yeah, I'm sure there's decent ramen in the US. I'll be honest, I haven't made enough ramen rounds in the US. In the Bay Area, I've had Santa in S.Mateo, this place off Castro in MtnView, couple places in S.Jose. Think the best of the bunch was Santouka inside Mitsuwa in S.Jose. Santouka is really about the best ramen I've had in the States, but I'm sure there's better ramen elsewhere. I personally would rate ANA's Ippudo ramen more highly than Santouka. It'd be fantastic if ANA could figure out a way to stick a couple slices of chashu in there.
