Ippudo was legit good, but it felt lacking compared to even the basic ramen houses I found in Tokyo. I think it had a lot to do with the noodles. I also think my expectations are too high.
Totto Ramen in Manhattan is pretty damn good too.
I have heard from Japanese and Korean folks that Chang is still the only person taking dashi seriously enough to get ramen right in America. Not sure that's true, and I certainly can't tell the difference enough, but Momofuku is damn good.
