Bay Area Ramen rating - 3/24/2010

I was eating at Kahoo Ramen for lunch today and it occurred to me that I should probably rate my preferences for the ramen restaurants that I know of and tried in the Bay Area. Just for kicks. :) I'm restricting this to restaurants centering around ramen. Restaurants that happen to serve ramen won't count. Maybe I'll have honorable mentions later on.

Anyways, here's my list of ramen restaurants, along w/ my preferred soup base.

Top
Santa (Tonkotsu)
Orenchi (Tonkotsu, Shio)

Middle
Maruichi (Tonkotsu variation)
Haru (Various)
Santouka (Shio)
Ryowa (Butter Corn)
Himawari (Tantan, Shio)

Bottom
Kahoo (Shio)

Question mark?
Kumako in Japan town San Jose. Heard it wasn't good.
Ajisen in Fremont
Ogisan in Campbell. New
