I don't know about best, but this is my childhood right here. It is also pretty easy to find, I've even seen this at larger american grocery stores.
This one is what I use at home when I make curry.
So easy to make and also very tasty.

You haven't tried my wife's tonkatsu
tonkatsu is the gift that keeps on giving. My wife doesn't make it very often, but when she does she always makes lots.
day 1 - tonkatsu
day 2 - katsu curry
day 3 - katsu sando
soo good.
Also Tesco in the UK sells Japanese curry. Not my preferred one - they have golden curry which is fine but I like it a bit darker, so we buy mail-order from a London Japanese store
I've told myself, next time I go to Wagamamas, I'll try the Katsu curry. I tend to enjoy curries but never tried Katsu before
Buddy seriously! You're missing out. Go! Now! Have Katsu for breakfast!!

Have you tried Ichiran in Kawaramachi?
No but I went to the ichiran in Fukuoka.
How much does it cost to eat at a Japanese food restaurant in Japan or the States? Here in my country (Portugal/Europe), there was an explosion of Japanese restaurants run by Chinese people, and they are very cheap.
Me and my wife have been abusing that s***! One restaurant in particular is All You Can Eat = 8 Euros. It's crazy!

Here are some average prices for some typical Japanese foods (in Japan):
Curry = $4.00 - $10.00
Ramen = $6.50 - $11.00
Beef Bowl = $3.50 - $6.00
Okonomiyaki, Monja = $7.00 - $12.00
Donburimono (Oyakodon, Tendon, etc.) = $4.50 - $8.00
Ramen or fried ramen?
oh you didn't. katsu is the best, I love it so much I start drooling just reading you post.
how about
day 4 - katsudon?
A tip is to make panko yourself, makes the katsu crunchier and yummier.
My favourites(except for katsu):
(high end) kushi katsu, absolutely sublime if you go to a nice specialist restaurant with a well composed dinner course.
tsukemono - there are so many variations but japan is the place to be if you like pickles, nothing even comes close(maybe hungary).
unagi on a bed of rice, again going to a really nice restaurant makes the difference. I was lucky to have a friend whose family owned a famous unagi place in Arashiyama so I got it for free. good times
In the summer I love to have a light lunch set with tai sashimi and soumen (with negi and some fried panko in the dashi), it's perfect for the hot season.
In winter nabe with crab. doesn't get any better than having a few friends over, cooking a nabe and cracking a beer with it.
When I'm out to gluttonize and just overfill my stomach yakiniku or shabushabu does the trick. I especially like to finish the yakiniku off with a spicy ishiyaki bibimba. I'm not a fan of butaniku shabu shabu though. A tip for shabu shasbu is to try some better places, the difference is usually in the goma-dare. Ponzu works with anything and tastes the same everywhere(still love it though) but I feel many neglect goma-dare because they go to cheap places that use stock sauce. A true shabu shasbu connoisseur knows that the endgame is in the quality of gomadare.
There are really too many dishes to mention. I'm also a big fan of more traditional washoku with yakisakana and vegetable side dishes. The only popular dish I really can't stand is sukiyaki.

Japanese is one of my favorite cuisines, along with Korean and of course Vietnamese. Asian food FTMFW.

Are there any good ramen places in New York or the east coast? Had ramen twice in Japan and I've been craving it ever since.

I've never had ramen in Japan (never been to Japan) so I can't say how it compares but the ones mentioned in that page are some of the best NYC has to offer.
