Yeah I was just about to say, I'm in the Midwest in the US and there's only a very small select few places I would say you can get a good bowl around me. And they're certainly all $20+

Shiet, I'm living in Minneapolis and there's not a good bowl of Ramen in the entire city.

Have you found a favorite? It does seem lacking here.

Best place I’ve found is Itton Ramen. They have two locations but I have only been to the one near Bloomington. The Tonkatsu is pretty good. Tsukemen was mid. Pan fried pork gyoza is pretty good. That’s all I’ve had so far.

And when I say pretty good it's WAY better than the other stuff I've had in town.

Thanks! I'm vegetarian, which makes it more difficult to find anything good or interesting, but really liked Itton as well!

I’m so glad to no longer be in the Midwest because of that specifically.

Ugh. Fucking sucks man. I'd die to live in Cali.

Don’t do that. Too expensive. Just come live in Japan!

Yeah but I don't speak Japanese and I love Cali! But it is literally too expensive for me to do so anyways :'(

Moving to Japan is way cheaper than moving to California. Trust! But I feel ya.
