You can choose how you want your noodles (al dente, firm, soft, normal, etc.) in Japan.

In some restaurants you can even choose how much dashi or richness the broth should have.

Then there are tons of sauces/spices you can add (ginger, chili oil, ramen sauce (some spicy and sweet sauce), pepper, garlic, sesame, etc.

In general i dont recommend eating more than 1 ramen per day, i felt all the bowls were very rich and contained lots of sodium.

You get always served free water or tea to balance out the saltiness of the broth. And i always drank at least half a liter of water/tea.

Each bowl was the same order, Tonkotsu with 1 egg, 2 slices of chashu under 1000yen ~7$, only Ichiran was a little over.

So which was my favorite? As someone who eats the whole bowl with the whole broth, for me Ichiran was the best choice, because you can customize how much garlic or how much dashi, etc. you can have. Some of the other dishes, i felt like i had to drink a lot of water to balance out the strong broth. Maybe thats why also some people dont drink the broth and leave it there at the end, i dont know.
