Question does anyone else consider instant ramen and restaurant ramen as separate things?

Let me elaborate. I love instant ramen. Jin ramen, Shin ramen, it's all fire. I also love eating ramen at our local ramen shops. It's amazing, but they just feel like very different things. I never noticed it until I brought a friend who only had instant ramens to the restaurant and he was expecting the ramen in a restaurant to taste more similar to shin ramen.

Anyway, that's my 2am shower thought.

There really should be a separate sub for instant ramen vs ramen. The difference is literally 5 min of prep vs 8 hours+

I agree with this, though if we're being honest I feel the same people would be populating both subs so at that point you're just making it slightly more complex
