About Instant Ramen

My goal is to help you create the absolute best bowl of instant ramen possible, using the ingredients you already have on hand.

How It All Started

Hey ramen lovers! I’m Lisa Nguyen, and like many of you, my instant ramen journey started with a simple question: “How can I make this even more delicious?”

During the pandemic, I found myself experimenting with all sorts of instant ramen hacks and recipes, sharing my adventures on social media. What began as a fun way to pass the time quickly turned into a passion. I discovered the incredible diversity and creativity within the world of instant ramen, and I knew I wanted to share that with others.

That’s why I created InstantRamen.com. This isn’t just another food review site. It’s a comprehensive database and community hub where you can explore countless ramen brands, discover unique flavor profiles, and find inspiration for your next bowl.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Detailed ramen brand profiles: Honest descriptions, flavor notes, and noodle assessments.
  • Creative topping suggestions: Elevate your ramen with my favorite pairings and easy-to-follow recipes.
  • A community of ramen enthusiasts: Share your own creations, ask questions, and connect with fellow noodle lovers.

This site is also dedicated to my late cat, Jaden. He was my constant companion during those early ramen experiments, always there on the couch amidst piles of ramen packages. His presence was a source of comfort and inspiration, and this website is a tribute to his memory.
