Instant Noodle Factory

A 10 out of 10 and to think I discovered it by accident. Quiet and humble atmosphere, the food delicious, and the lady who attended me was so lovely. Will be going back there again

Weve had our fair share of instant noodles growing up, so its so cool to see our memories of instant noodles culminating in an Instant Noodle Factory. This spot elevates ordinary noodles into a novel experience that's not limited to just college dorm rooms and late night eats. Instant noodles are so convenient for a quick lunch or as a snack, and its so easy to prepare by simply adding boiling water. Its pretty awesome to see how a meal like this has been turned into such a fun concept in LIC. I love the wall of ramen showcasing all the different types of ramen right when you walk in. They even have the spice level of each noodle displayed. My friends and I ordered the beef birria, mala madness, champong, and duck duck noods, which are mostly combinations of classic instant noodles. With each noodle dish, you have the option to add extra toppings and sides on - we opted for toppings such as corn, fried fishballs, shrimp shumai, scallions, shrimp, and fried fish cakes. Ben, of course, got the beef birria noodle soup, which comes with tender marinated beef, corn, and jalapeos. The duck duck noods come with a pulled duck leg, scallions, and a soft-boiled egg. The mala madness is a combination of Buldak Fire noodles and mala spice. Our cousin loves spice, so he handled it really well - he could've upgraded to the Buldak 2x spicy. I got champong, a spicy seafood noodle soup, and added corn, shrimp, and fried fish cakes with edamame. Don't forget a drink to wash the noodles down! I really liked the iced lychee yakult tea and peach iced tea.

Super cute concept that is very simple and well organized. Ordering from the kiosk and navigating the different ramen and topping options was very easy. Getting the order took longer than expected and there was a few toppings that were sold out, such as egg and scallions. The meal itself tasted good and I got to try a ramen packet I've never had before! I chose all free toppings and added birria beef for my protein. I also got a peach tea that was refreshing and not too sweet. The meal came out to around $15 which isn't a lot for dinner but a bit steep for instant ramen. Overall I liked the experience and would recommend trying out with friends.
