Damn that is some good looking ramen. When I lived in Tokyo this was my favorite style. Just fucking super high quality shouyu with similarly high quality toppings. Multiple types of chashu, great menma, GOD TIER ajitama... Fuck. So good.

Pho is one specific soup where as ramen encompasses a dozen different styles and is constantly being experimented with and improved. It isn't fair to compare them.

Personally I like ramen better because of the variety. however, When I want pho I get pho. There isn't any ramen that satisfies are craving for something like pho..

Having said that, ramen isn't worth it unless you are in japan. And even then, as a tourist you are limited in your options because all of the best ramen shops have long lines which is a huge waste of your limited time in the country. Personally I live in Japan and ramen is my favorite food, but you simply can't appreciate it if you don't live here.
