Those instant cup noodles in foam are awful, but the packaged ramen is
OK.  A ramen shop is a rare sight in my area.  Some can be found in
parts of Pittsburgh.  I hear that they are good, but expensive.  I'll
have to try for myself some day.

 If you're really hungry, cup noodle could seem like an attractive
proposition. I find that Korean instant noodles are a cut above the
Japanese instant noodles. They are chewier and thicker. For some reason,
Koreans like to eat the dried instant noodles rather than fresh noodles.
They're going to be more expensive than usual instant ramen but in the
scheme of things, still pretty cheap for a meal. You might have some
problem with the spice level of Korean noodles.

True, if I'm hungry enough, one of those cups will do it.  Of course, if I'm hungry, I'm perfectly fine with cheap beans and rice or potatoes cooked any way.
I like spicy, a nice "kick", but I don't like painful hot.  I'm not too interested in any spice level about "average" buffalo hot wings.
A ramen shop is normally what I'd consider wasteful spending, but it's one of those things that I'd like to try at least once.
