disappoint

i'm always disappointed by ramen noodles in san francisco.  i've visited:
  • katana-ya -- too heavy and greasy, not very chewy ("q") noodles.
  • tanpopo -- just okay, doesn't hit the spot.
  • sapporo-ya -- the worst!
 
same with niu rou mian (taiwanese beef noodle soup).  i've tried:
  • taiwan restaurant -- watery, noodles not very good.
  • taste of formosa -- has a wierd spice and burn-ey taste.
is it just me?  am i missing something?

I tend to find restaurant ramen really salty ... no luck on this coast, but I haven't tried the big-name trendy places here yet.
