Honestly, Korea, China, and Japan dominate the noodle game.

‌
No matter how much Vietnamese Pho, Thai Pad Thai, or Indonesian Nasi Goreng try to make a name for themselves,
they can never compete with the noodle dishes of Korea, China, and Japan.
The economic levels of Korea, China, and Japan are on another level, and since these are races that are truly obsessed with noodles,
the chewiness of the noodles and the umami of the broth have developed to the absolute extreme.
Not to mention all the various fresh ingredients used as toppings, grown in appropriate climates and fertile lands.
First of all, it is a fact that wheat noodles taste much better than rice noodles, even if they are less healthy.
China's Beef Noodle Soup and Sichuan Noodles
Japan's Udon and Tsukemen
Korea's Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, Kalguksu, and Ramyeon
Southeast Asians can never reach that level.
To be honest, even Italian spaghetti tastes inferior to them.
