- blooalien 2mo agoSome downright drool inducing photography there. So many truly delicious looking ramen bowls.
- josfredo 2mo agoThis is spectacular. I think food can never be overrated.
- hnlmorg 2mo agoOne of the best ramen I’ve ever had is this: https://ramen.haus/united-kingdom/london/cha-mori-ramen-kanada-ya/ https://ramen.haus/united-kingdom/london/cha-mori-ramen-kana... Pre-Covid, this restaurant would regularly have queues down the street to get in. But it’s a small place. Basically the size of someone’s front room. Definitely worth a visit.
- mgaunard 2mo agoKanada-Ya is a chain with at least 5 locations in London, and while they're fairly good, they're still somewhat focused on Deliveroo-type transactions. It remains quite different from a genuine ramen shop in Japan.
- hnlmorg 2mo agoThat wasn’t the case pre-Covid when I was talking about. But it’s still good even now. And it’s obviously going to be quite different from Japanese restaurants because London isn’t in Japan (surprise surprise).
- usefulxfool 2mo agoso now ramen tops in HN
- iammjm 2mo agoI love ramen. And the best thing about it is that it’s always a bit different, unique experience
- miguelbemartin 2mo agoA rotating ramen in the first position of HN? why?
- sudo_cowsay 2mo agoIt's because it's food lol
- nehal3m 2mo agoWhat’s wrong with appreciating beautiful food?
- embedding-shape 2mo agoSame as always, because people upvote it, probably it's interesting to a bunch of people. > What to Submit - On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
- xg15 2mo agoWhoever "people" is. How many upvotes (in orders of magnitude) are needed to get to the front page is still a mystery to me. I wonder if there are "slow days" on which it might be easier because there is less voting in general.
- Cider9986 2mo agoI've seen posts with 3 on the front-page but they have to be picked up to stay.
- sevenzero 2mo agoI prefer that over yet another AI blog post
- user43928 2mo agoThe site looks good on mobile. > No cookies. No tips. No JavaScript. Just ramen. I cannot help but wonder if Claude wrote this copy. Not that there would be anything wrong with that, I am just curious.

- yohamta 2mo agoAs a Japanese in Tokyo, I didn't know that Ramens in other countries look so good.
- titanomachy 2mo agoSushi and Ramen restaurants are both extremely popular outside of Japan, and often started by Japanese immigrants. Other Japanese food is less well-known.
- i_love_cooking 2mo agoI have never yet been to Japan, but whenever I visit a big city, I try a ramen shop. To be honest, so far it has been a let down. IDK, I guess maybe I'm expecting too much from a bowl of soup, with noodles and condiments. As a form factor, it's genius. But for the price that it is usually sold at in western cities, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I feel like it has been a bit too overhyped for what it is. BTW, you can also replicate the form factor using western cooking ingredients/traditions and it still works pretty well.
- emsy 2mo agoThat’s true in my experience, but Ramen in Japan is actually considerably better. The only good Ramen I ever had in Europe was in Düsseldorf but the owner imports pork from Japan.
- sokoloff 2mo agoThere’s a surprisingly robust Asian restaurant scene within a few blocks of the train station there. I try to eat there every time I visit Drupa.
- jedschmidt 2mo agoagreed. i think the economics of ramen make less sense outside of japan, where it’s more expensive and turnaround is slower because folks linger longer (often to amortize the cost of waiting to get seated in the first place).
- asyx 2mo agoIn Düsseldorf that’s not the case. The Japanese restaurant are very distinctly less chill than other restaurants. Like, where you’d usually spend 3 hours in a normal restaurant, it is kinda expected that you eat and leave a Ramen shop within an hour.
- mc32 2mo agoIsn’t ramen in Japan fast-food? Of the people who dine-in, few people would stay at a McDonalds an hour to “dine”. It’s go in order, eat and get out. And, like burgers you do have high end joints too. Also, like burgers ramen isn’t considered “healthy” food. High sodium, high fat, and somewhat low in nutrients. It’s basically fast-food.
- jedschmidt 2mo agothis reminds me of a naive and happier time in tech, when i built a game called ramendan with twitter’s open API. you had to eat ramen every day for dinner, and tweet proof with the hashtag #ramendan, link to a photo (this was before twitter supported images), and geotag it so that we could make sure it was after sundown in your timezone. https://www.pechakucha.com/presentations/the-savory-month-of-ramendan https://www.pechakucha.com/presentations/the-savory-month-of...
- ares623 2mo agoLike a trip back to late 2000's website design. I hope those style (or maybe something new) comes back.
- slau 2mo agoIttenbari in Akasaka was an absolute revelation as to what ramen can be. Tabutchan in Osaka was the confirmation that it is the most delightful form of food invented by mankind.
- hereme888 2mo agoNoted. Info saved for future Japan trip.
- Kuinox 2mo agoIt doesn't rotate on firefox on my linux machine, but does on firefox on my windows. edit: it looks like my firefox linux have a "prefers-reduced-motion: reduce" set... So I discovered that setting animation to instant on kde, tell the browser to reduce motions...
- xg15 2mo agoIs it just me or does the rotation make it less appealing? I think the problem is, with that kind of lighting, you'd subconsciously expect a lot of movement. ( like in this animation: https://kotaku.com/unity-3d-ramen-noodles-art-artist-tech-vfx-shader-blend-1849163073 https://kotaku.com/unity-3d-ramen-noodles-art-artist-tech-vf... ) Obviously, there can't be any movement, because it's just a single photograph - and if that were all, then perception would adjust accordingly. But because of the rotation, suddenly movement is added back - only, the contents of the photo don't follow it, so the whole thing now looks like a plastic replica of a ramen dish instead of the real thing.
- HelloUsername 2mo agoI agree. It's just the .jpeg rotating through css. It's inspired by (as mentioned on the website) rotatingsandwiches; those are actually 3D photographed (or filmed) with a fixed light source
- Cider9986 2mo agoNew York City has great Ramen options. I find yelp rating a lot more indicative of the food quality than Google ratings. Something that has seriously increased my trust in Yelp: There's this one restaurant that has always been my favorite within 100s of miles and recently I noticed they had a top 100 in the USA poster for their cuisine on the outside from Yelp. It doesn't mention what rank specifically, just top 100. I look it up and they are in the top 10. So I really have no idea how Yelp was able to figure out that this restaurant is so good and to rank it in a way I agree with. It could be just based on reviews because it does have close to 5 stars but regardless it's impressive.
- maccard 2mo agoI’ve found it’s very city dependent. My experience in the US was yelp was miles ahead, but where I live (Edinburgh) it’s pretty much useless.
- estearum 2mo agoIn the southeastern US, Yelp is almost negative signal because southerners have legitimately horrible taste.
- maccard 2mo agoI have an unfair suspicion that the people who make yelp great in the US are the same that make it suck in Europe!
- fireflash38 2mo agoA lot of rural areas you really just gotta discount the ratings, both on Google maps and yelp.
- maccard 2mo agoIn fairness to people, yelp and google, if there’s only two places to eat in a town there’s only two places to eat. The local people are likely friends with the people who run the places and their social hubs. Personally if my mate opened a restaurant and it was awful, I’d tell him nicely but I wouldn’t leave a bad review for it. I think tripadvisor in the US suffers from the same problem as yelp in Europe - it’s predominantly tourists so the places visited are predominantly places tourists visit. If you want the tourist experiences they’ll keep you right but if you want “what the locals eat” you have to do what the locals do.
- mmasulli 2mo agoSo nice to see Bankara Ramen in Bangkok here - one of my favourite places, and you always see Japanese customers eating there, so you know it passes the local abroad trial :-)
- farialima 2mo agoThis is probably the right place to remind beginners in the study of ramens, that basic knowledge can be acquired from the classic "Tampopo" movie. Just the opening scene is must-know : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeVhZkbAc5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeVhZkbAc5k :)
- eth0up 2mo agoMan, that is a little treasure. And a modest tribute to the majesty of good Ramen. I actually ran yt-dlp on that one... I am existentially opposed to, among a completely unreasonable large number of things, eating. I am often embarrassed to eat, and rarely fail to consider the final product and its porcelain fate. But Ramen justifies it all; making sense of.. and almost if not actually, dignifying the depraved and insatiable Cannibal Overlord we call our Universe. One could even ask, if the whole mess was worth it. But to answer fairly, one must experience good Ramen. Appreciated ;)
- AnimalMuppet 2mo agoHey, this is completely off topic, but I wanted to put this somewhere you might see it. I was reviewing some of my old posts this evening, and I ran across this comment of yours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48896423 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48896423 This turned out to be very prophetic. My compliments on your foresight. (I mean, it wasn't on the power grid, but on water systems. Other than that, really on-target.)
- eth0up 2mo agoI appreciate the unusually friendly comment. I tend to look forward a lot, enough that I often miss my own nose. But there is implausible credit due there. I say that not to be humble, but because think I know the reason, which isn't a good one. I have spent the last two years, in my spare time, documenting certain aspects of AI. If my foresight proves valid anywhere, I think it will be mostly there. Much of my 'research' involves censorship, information manipulation, and related things. About now, you may already suspect I am rambling. I see a lot of connected threads, and cannot really help it, as it's how I think. My point is, I am far from the only one expressing such concerns, or making such 'predictions'. In my opinion, there are efforts, both inadvertent self-censorship, and real external or imposed censorship, which tends to keep the kind of content your url touches on, out of view. So dig deeper, and you may find a screeching choir. In my time, I have learned that some things, regardless of intelligence, are not acceptable, and however real, not discussed. In 2024, based exclusively on my interactions with LLMs, it became crystal clear that all frontier models would fall under Pentagon control, And some will argue that has not happened yet, but there are certainly active contracts, and those have implications. But the only source that would 'listen' without retaliation, were the LLMs themselves. So I tend to really hold back a lot on that subject, because it seems to really piss people off. Two weeks before the IED event at CENTCOM, I told a friend who lives nearby, that I had a hunch something was going to happen, of the general nature of what did happen two weeks later, where, according to the media, a Chinese couple arranged to plant some nasty device nearby. He called to inform me, and I was actually surprised. Cognitive dissonance, I guess. Then there was the event in Alabama, at a reservoir about the same time. And then a few other things. It's not as if there isn't a precedent here. But the CENTCOM bit was nothing more than dumb association with a power concentration and obvious potential target for adversaries. That was mere bad luck. I also have record of speculating with GPT, last October, when silver shockingly jumped to $50/oz. That same day, I played with GPT, and speculated the value should/could be ~$120. I thought nothing of it, and certainly did not invest on it, but a few months later, silver reached $120, I think for the first time in history. I am pretty sick, so I forget a lot, but there have been similar things. Of course any rational person would be itching by now to foist the obvious fact of broken clocks, and remind one of the greater amount of things that were simply wrong. I think both remain significant though. And most of the things I am wrong about, satisfy me greatly. The institutional capture of AI, is perhaps the most seemingly obvious thing I have ever forecast. Common sense. But when your country starts lobbing missiles at the civilian infrastructure of an ancient civilization, after executing the majority of their leadership, good bad or indifferent, I factor that into the threat model. We have enough volatility with our own society here, that to add this, during a time of economic tension, anomie, and an onslaught of truly unprecedented things; from the prejudicial execution of boaters, Claude-assisted abduction of a sitting president and dubious use of ADS weaponry, insider trading, environmental problems, serious social division, and you know, a lot more -- the volatility is self explanatory. It is a miracle we have gotten this far without some major event. And as a lurker of HN, you are aware of the state of modern compute, and it's pretty swiss cheesy, as the LLMs are helping get through our stubborn heads with such astonishing speed and efficiency that I am certain at least a few more people are concerned. So while it's kind of cool to not be called a moron or schizophrenic around here for once, I still think not too prophetic. Harsh common sense, and I am sure, according to most around here, unconditionally wrong, and coincidence at best. For me, anyone who is not worried right now, is a different species, and I just can't understand them. And one tends to make a lot of 'predictions' when worried. But my most sincere, honest opinion, is that we should be worried. Not in a neurotic, frothing sense, but prudently. For me, the volatility is palpable, in a way I have not experienced before. And I am drifting here.. But I want to leave once final bit, which regards Ukraine. Many people have come to think that there is something fundamentally different about humanity now in the modern era, that we have changed as a species and thousands of years of violence has finally been ironed out of the human psyche. I am not sure why they think so, perhaps technology and flashing lights. But we literally have a hell, on earth, in 2026, that is Ukraine, with the busification, trench slaughter, and things many would refuse to believe. And despite the live-streamed HD blood and guts, it remains one of the most lightly touched by media and most brutal wars in modern history. To think that could not happen here, I just can't. The fact that it is happening, so smoothly, now, is too much. And these are my daily thoughts. So expecting bad shit, I guess, is involuntary. Anyway, here's to being more wrong! I have no stakes, and I certainly can't afford steaks.
- bdcravens 2mo agoHappy to see they have a selection from the location (Ramen Tatsu-ya, in Austin) that started my love of ramen https://ramen.haus/united-states/austin/tatsu-ya-the-og/ https://ramen.haus/united-states/austin/tatsu-ya-the-og/
- mplanchard 2mo agoLoved Tatsu-ya when I lived there. If you like Japanese food and you haven’t been yet, you should check out Asahi imports (on Burnet, not too far from Komé, which is also great, although I heard they [Asahi] also have a location in South Austin now). Great fresh onigiri, kara age bento, etc. I used to go like twice a week.
- Mistletoe 2mo agoAh I was hoping I could add photos from my favorite place in my city, but alas.
- blooalien 2mo ago> "Ah I was hoping I could add photos from my favorite place in my city, but alas." Just down the page it says "Ideas, collaborations, and questions: chef@ramen.haus" so I suppose you could always email 'em about your idea of user submitted entries; maybe even collaborate with 'em on adding the feature? Ask 'em why it's not a feature already? :)

- darknavi 2mo agoThis website reminds of me a small site I want to make. For years I have taken pictures of bathroom sinks. My main curiosity with them is the crazy variance of proportions and layout of the bowl and the faucet(s). It all started because there are so many sinks where you basically have to touch the sink bowl just to wash your hands because of the faucet choice. So I want to make a similar website which shows the bathroom sinks of the world!
