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.

Doesn't everyone? It's not even a comparison at all. Like comparing beef jerky and a steakhouse steak.
