That is literally impossible. Did you eat at the same chain over and over in different places? Do you not have functioning tastebuds?
For example, every single bowl in this picture taste completely different. And no rich flavors? Tonkotsu broth with huge pieces of fatty pork belly, and even heaps of garlic or chilli sauce if you want isn't a strong flavor?

Actual good Ramen is overpriced and considered a luxury outside of Japan. In NYC it will cost you at least $14 a bowl with tax.

Meanwhile you can get absolute god tier, like top 10 best bowls of ramen in the world for 1100 yen (like $10) in Japan.
