This brand is really great.
bowl version is better for whatever reason
Shin Ramen and Paldo Kim Chi Noodle are the god tier imo. Shin best overall, but Paldo Kim Chi Noodle for the absolute best flavor/texture noodles of any cup/instant bar none. Those noodles are absolutely amazing.

Nonghim at the asian grocery store smells weird compared to the regular supermarket version for some reason.
+1 This is the only ramen I eat, and I actually get excited about eating it. It's been awhile though, now I have to go order a bunch in bulk. Who cares about salt intake anyhow?

+1 to the Nongshim Shin Ramyun cup noodles. They taste better compared to their bagged versions, imo.

Pretty much anything this company makes is a good bet, if you like it spicy
I also like Sapporo Ichiban.
Basically this, except mostly the bagged version because I need to add eggs. Best ramen I've ever had(there aren't any Japanese restaurants near me).

these def arent bad
Problem is i can buy that anywhere. Looking for stuff i cant find at 7/11
Both my wife and I like the bag version better than the cup/bowl versions.

Anything Nongshim, Cup Noodle is great too.
Do you know how hard it is to get fresh Behemoth?
My uni was next to a big Asian food cash and carry, so as a student I stocked up on a lot of ramen for cheapo. Funnily, my local supermarket now actually also sells the same stuff I used to get from there.
The bestest. Unless you really want some the soupiness, these don't have that.
Also the best, you can't go wrong with Sesame anything.
I ate these the most, mainly because I liked spicy food a lot more in Uni. They're damn good too.
Honestly, just try anything and everything Nissin and Mama make and it'll probably be good.

These things are some of my absolute favorites...
But they will melt your face. even the adorable chicken looks like it is about to fuck you up.

He does pretty interesting lists, and is all about the ramen. Check his best of lists and see if there is anything that really stands out.

For some reason this is the case for me, too. Sure, I like all the versions but there's something about the bowls.
OP, if you want to step outside the realm of ramen, might I recommend:

The Asian stores tend to have a pretty huge selection, sometimes it's fun just picking up a few random packages and trying them out.
Ive done that before and had fun just didnt want to miss out on some overlooked gems.

Yep.
I also like the red ones.
I hate how hard they are to find where I live. There is only one supermarket near me that sells them but they almost never have (like one of every 10 times I go)

Sapporo is also my go to choice when I can't decide what to get at the store.
I'll repeat the other brands when we have Instant Ramen/Noodle threads: MaMa and Wai Wai are also good choices if you want to get creative with your ramen. Easily customizable with veggies, meat, egg, etc.

I can only find the packets of this stuff on Amazon UK and it's £30 for twenty of the bastards.

This. Once I had Shin Ramyun Black, there was no going back. Nongshim stuff in general is really tasty.
Man, I want some now.
Had this the other day and compared it to the bowl version. The noodles seem about the same, but it's the broth that ultimately sets this in a class above the rest.
It's good just cooked in water, but the best way to make it is to fry it in a really hot pan afterwards like real mi goreng. I use toasted sesame oil and top it with an egg.
They also have lots of other flavors. The rendang flavor is super tasty.
This stuff is also really good, but it's just noodles and no soup.
Yeah it's more expensive for a reason but I feel the taste is worth it.
Ultimately you're still spending <2$ per packet.

You can usually find Nong Shim and Cup Noodles but a lot of others you'll need to hunt for.
I see more and more corner shops stocking more exotic brands now but it's not really reliable.
Amazon is your best bet for getting the brand you want.

I would say 2/3 of the ones mentioned here are in my local grocery store.

My problem is I may not like it and being forced to buy 20 at a time sucks balls.
