Many shops in SF Chinatown sell individual instant noodle packs so you can try them before buying a whole pack.
Anyway, this whole range (Nissin Demae) is probably one of the better soup noodle instant noodles in any flavor, but especially the black garlic tonkotsu.
Have you come across any gluten free noodles? I have looked several times in stores and come up nil.
@maddad can’t think of any beyond buckwheat noodles or rice noodles, which don’t often come in instant versions. Maybe some Chinese health food products, but I wouldn’t know where to get them (I’ve seen them but they’re not super common)
