The cup noodles are better than most other dirt-cheap instant noodles imo. I think they are 50 cents individually and less when bought in packs. If you are looking for something more meaty though, NongShim is awesome, isnt too spicy and the noodle is pretty thick. Mie Goreng is also excellent if you want a "dry" stir fry-type instant noodle.
Or if you want something more premium, those Udon noodle bowls you can get at the Asian Market.
Stay away from those god awful spicy Korean noodles, I swear I think that shit is a psyop by Korean Intelligence to laugh at westerners' attempt to consume it.
Oh, and you should def go to an Asian Market, they have the most vast selection of noodles you will ever see, and some neat snacks too.
