The Ramen Rater's Global Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2023 Edition

#10: Best Wok Mi Goreng Original - Indonesia
https://www.theramenrater.com/2022/03...

A very well rounded mi goreng with an excellent balance of sweet and spicy flavors - noodle gauge is gret and doesn't come off dry but just the right oiliness

#9: Prima Taste Singapore Curry Wholegrain La Mian – Singapore
https://www.theramenrater.com/2016/01...

A long time favorite, on this list for years. A subtle yet robust curry flavor is paired with a rustic noodle which isn't gritty and just works so well here.

#8: Indomie Mi Keriting Rasa Ayam Panggang – Indonesia
https://www.theramenrater.com/2023/04...

After years, a favorite of years back returns to my table. The noodle has a nice curly gauge and savory chicken nature. The vegetables are just perfect for here - in little bits. The sipping soup on the side is just perfect. A favorite from years back I hope to see eventually available again in the USA

#7: Red Chef Spicy Sakura Prawn Soup Rice Vermicelli & Noodles – Malaysia
https://www.theramenrater.com/2020/03...

First, rice vermicelli and a non-fried wheat noodle are paired. These are bathed in a broth of sweet and very strong prawn broth which is thick and as savory as can be. A light spiciness brings it all together, augmented by crisp, fried onions.

#6: A-Sha LaoTao Beef and Tendon Noodles – Taiwan
https://www.theramenrater.com/2021/04...

A thin and flat noodle is joined by a very tasty beef broth which has a depth of flavor unparalleled in my years of reviewing. The beef and tendon is succulent, melt in your mouth stuff. Truly amazing and worth a trip to Taiwan to try.

#5: MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle – Malaysia
https://www.theramenrater.com/2021/03...

A favorite for years - we start with a plump and lightly chewy noodle. Next a broth with such a strong curry flavor - creamy and giving. It's really something unique I think everyone should try - a true testament to Malaysian flavor.

#4: Red Chef Hae Bee Hiam – Singapore
https://www.theramenrater.com/2022/03...

A non-fried noodle is [aired with hae bee hiam. Hae bee hiam is a prawn crisp - this one has pieces of chewy shrimp in the mix - chunky and savory, spicy, oily, and sweet. The balance just works so well.

#3: Mom's Dry Noodle Scallop & Hua Diao Wine Chicken Noodle Soup - Taiwan
https://www.theramenrater.com/2021/08...

A non fried Taiwanese dry noodle is where we start. Paired with a rich broth which imparts the flavor of slow cooking, and contains whole pieces of chicken - just all around a truly wonderful chicken noodle soup - the best after 20 years of reviewing.

#2: Ippudo Karaka Spicy Ramen – Japan


A very recent find - this has a shelf stable fresh ramen which cooks up in mere seconds. The broth is amazing; milky, rich, and a little bit spicy - all in the best amounts. The included glob of pure umami laden wonder just finishes this and is the best home prepared ramen I've had to date - rocketing to second place, this variety from Japan is a truly wonderful thing to behold and a must try.

#1: Prima Taste Singapore Wholegrain Laksa La Mian — Singapore
https://www.theramenrater.com/2018/04...

For the 8th year in a row, this juggernaut seems to be a tough one to dethrone. The chewy noodle has a thick and round gauge. Paired with a laksa broth which has a beautiful flavor, thickness, and color, it's really quite amazing stuff. If on a deserted island, this would be my pick.
