That's like saying Mr. Miyagi's crane technique is Chinese.

Ramen is Japanese

That's like saying spaghetti is Japanese because they serve it in Japan in their own style.

Ramen is referred to as Chinese noodles in Japan.

You should choose soba or udon if you want an authentic representation of a Japanese food.

Japanese invented the instant noodle. But noob Amerikinkies call those ramen.

Ramen from a legit ramen house with all kinds of add-ins is one of the best meals I've ever had.

I've never had real good lo mein afaik... I like it but its only take out chinese to me so far.

I know Pho is pretty awesome but I'm just not into tripe, tendon etc... I do like the flavoring in it though.

Spaghetti... lol.

Ramen wins!

Spaghetti gets my vote as well. Spaghetti with clams and garlic.

pad thai is terrible.

I would be on that TLC "My 600 Pound Life" show if I lived in Italy. I can't get enough Italian food. Linguine needs to be on the list instead of spaghetti. You need some surface area to hold that sauce :)

same.

I like ramen, pho, and occasional chow mein but I couldn't eat it everyday like spaghetti. It would be the same as eating jjamppong, jjajangmyeon, naengmyeon, kalguksu, japchae everyday. And most of korean/chinese noodles are way better than ramen, pho, or chow mein.

Ehh, I prefer rice noodles.

Pho is my favorite of the options, even though I don't eat it very often since there's no Pho place near work where I can go as a lunch destination on a regular basis.

But my favorite noodles are rice vermicelli
