I have been craving ramen, but not what I normally make at the house. So I did some research, and I found that hokkaido ramen House was 15 minutes away. So, I ended up getting the spicy beef ramen. It was absolutely delicious. I don't think I ever want to eat ramen at my house ever again lol

Wow, what a envy, that looks incredible.
That is some colossal beefy bone in that ramen.
Definitely don’t give up home ramen, you just have up your home game is all.
This really is a lovely post. Thanks for sharing it with us.
That looks more like Pho
Cilantro, bean sprouts and a lime, are you sure that’s not Pho? Don’t normally see them in ramen, but common in pho.
Beautiful dish but I think this is Pho? or perhaps mislabelled on the menu but this is more Vietnamese Pho than Japanese Ramen.
Edit: Looked at the restaurant’s [menu](https://www.hokkaidoramen.life/menus/idaho-falls-hokkaido-ramen-house-menu.php) … It is labelled as a Ramen – well I guess I learn something new everyday! Enjoy your meal OP!
Was this Tokushima style ramen?
Where’s the noodles?
Could just be a fusion. The broth is definitely dark, and pho is clear, but the big beef ribs and the other ingredients is more of a pho.
Looks more like pho… But it could be a fusion between pho and ramen. Either way, looks really good.
The toppings are more used in pho than in ramen as far as I know. I might need to brush up on my knowledge of ramen, since I only know of the major ramen types (soup bases).
Where’s the broth?
Not versed on all ramen (can you be?). This isn’t representative of most ramen, and actually, doesn’t show you what a ramen is. The toppings are too much and might be covering the flavor of the soup.
Anyways, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Look for a more minimal bowl for your next ramen restaurant. Get a taste of the soup, noodles, aroma oil, and toppings. The balance is what counts.
I dont think bones or cilantro belong in ramen, but it’s a free country.
Wow, a lot of people in the comments thinking this is Pho, must not know the difference between Vietnamese (Pho) and Japanese (Ramen).
Looks great and glad you had your first authentic Ramen experience. I see you mentioned its shoyu-tare in another comment, my favorite. Next time try shio or miso.
Edit: One of my favorite Ramen shops in Tokyo uses cilantro in some of their dishes, not sure why people are divided on this. Cilantro doesn’t make Ramen into Pho.
I’m sure it was delicious, but as I’m sure you’ve gathered from other comments, this is not what ramen is supposed to be like.
Wow that’s a big rib
Yum
Looks like pho to me, are you sure this is ramen?
