First things first...

You want the best instant package kind? Get Maruchan. Period.

You want the best cup of noodles kind? Get Nissin. Period.

Do not make the mistake of mixing these two brands up with their counterparts (meaning, don't get Maruchan cup, and don't get Nissin packaged). This is assuming you live in the states and have no access to an Asian food market. There are plenty of other more obscure brand instant noodles you can find in Asian supermarkets that own both of those brands.

But if you can afford it, go OUT and eat ramen XD
