General FAQ

  • How do you pronounce “ramen”?

    It’s at the top of the list because we actually get this question a lot. The proper pronunciation is “rah-men,” not “ray-men.” But we won’t judge (as long as you’re not talking with your mouth full).

  • Where are your products made?

    Here in the U.S., we have two manufacturing facilities: Gardena, California, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

  • Do you sell seasoning packets separately?

    We currently don’t have plans to sell the seasoning separately. (We’re a noodle company after all.) But we continue to develop new product offerings based on consumer input.

  • Where do I get in touch if I have an issue with a product?

    Oh, no. We’re sorry to hear that. Please contact us here and we’ll do our best to remedy the problem ASAP.

Product FAQ

  • Is it safe to eat the Top Ramen noodles without putting them in boiling water first?

    Some people enjoy breaking up Top Ramen to snack on like potato chips or to sprinkle on top of salads. Since the noodles are already cooked, they are totally safe.

  • How can I cut down on the salt content of Top Ramen?

    Use only a portion of the seasoning packet to flavor to your liking. Or simply add your own blend of spices.

  • Where can I find delicious Nissin recipes?

    Find delicious recipes here. And follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more inspiration. Have a delicious recipe idea of your own? Submit it here.

  • Do you have any gluten-free products?

    We currently don’t have any gluten-free options. But we continue developing new products based on consumer input.

  • Does Cup Noodles contain any artificial colors?

Cup Noodles® Stir Fry FAQ

  • Why did you decide to create Cup Noodles® Stir Fry?

    We love hearing from our fans and are always looking to launch delicious, new recipes to keep them happy! After hearing passionate demands for soupless, stir fry flavors, we took the time to to perfect stir fry noodles with the convenience of our legendary cup. We hope you enjoy new Cup Noodles® Stir Fry!

  • Are the noodles in Cup Noodles® Stir Fry different from other Cup Noodles?

    Yes! The noodles in Cup Noodles Stir Fry were specially created to emulate that undeniably delicious stir fry taste and texture.

  • Does Cup Noodles® Stir Fry use the same amount of water as other Cup Noodles products?

    The ideal stir fry meal is tossed in a sauce rather than a soup. That’s why Cup Noodles Stir Fry requires less water than our other meals—but it’s just as simple to prepare.

    Add room temperature water to the fill line engraved on the inside of the cup (= 6.4 fl. oz.) If you can’t locate it, look for the line printed above the microwave directions on the outside of the cup—and refer to those instructions for perfect preparation.

  • Why should I microwave Cup Noodles® Stir Fry instead of using boiling water?

    Unlike the Original Cup Noodles® which are intended to be prepared using boiling water, the Stir Fry product and cup were created exclusively for the sustained heat of microwave preparation to fully rehydrate the noodles & sauce. Preparing Cup Noodles Stir Fry with boiling water would result in soup-like experience, not stir-fried noodles tossed sauce

Top Ramen® Bowl FAQs

  • What is the difference between the Top Ramen® Bowl and the Original Top Ramen® pouch?

    The biggest difference: No pot needed. Just add water, microwave for 3 minutes and enjoy Top Ramen anywhere! Plus, Top Ramen Bowls come with an additional liquid sauce packet that lets you customize the flavor like never before.

  • What toppings come in the Top Ramen® Bowl?

    Beyond the classic Top Ramen seasoning you know and love, each bowl features its own flavor-specific sauce—teriyaki for Chicken, garlic for Shrimp and sesame for Soy Sauce. Top Ramen Bowls also come with a packet of veggies—bell peppers, green onions, corn, carrots—and no added MSG.

  • Is there a vegetarian option?

    Yes! Just like our blue pouches, the Top Ramen Soy Sauce bowl is vegetarian. Enjoying a meat-free diet is now even easier!

Moving to Paper Cup

  • Why did Nissin Foods change the packaging for Cup Noodles?

    Nissin Foods is committed to becoming more sustainable and evolving our practices to support consumers and the environment. Eliminating polystyrene foam from our products and reducing the use of plastic is part of our journey to make the packaging of our new and legacy brands more sustainable.

  • What are the benefits of the new packaging?

  • What makes the new paper cup design microwavable?

    Transitioning the packaging from polystyrene foam to recycled paper allows the cup to be microwaved. The new cup is designed to keep the noodles warm and not impact the dining experience.

  • What Cup Noodles flavors will now be in a paper cup?

    Chicken, Beef, and Shrimp flavors will now be in a paper cup and microwavable, and still have the same great taste.

Recyclability

  • Is the cup recyclable?

    The cup is not currently able to be recycled in most communities.

  • Is the sleeve recyclable?

    The sleeve is made with 100% recycled paper and is recyclable.

  • Is the case recyclable?

    The case is recyclable.

Our History

  • How long has Nissin USA been using polystyrene cups?

    We’ve been using the polystyrene cup since its U.S. launch in 1973. It was selected because it was lightweight, easy to use, and kept the product warm while protecting the user from the heat.

  • Why did it take Nissin Foods so long to make this change?

    It took us several years to find an option that allowed us to keep all the things that consumers love about our product—taste, convenience, and value. While there are many sustainable packaging options, we didn’t want to compromise on any of those features. This current cup allows us to deliver the same experience while reducing plastic.
