Lana Condor Just Shared Her Go-To Instant Noodle Picks

“This is my Heaven,” says Lana Condor from the center of a noodle/soup aisle in her local Asian grocery store. “We’re surrounded by instant noodles.” The actress, singer, producer, and icon recently visited her local Asian grocery store, Uwajimaya Market, in downtown Seattle, to pick up a few of her favorite groceries. 

On the list: not one, but three different instant noodles, along with a cart full of frozen finds (we see you shrimp shumai!) and pantry staples. Her picks are a mix of spicy and seafood-flavored, or both at once. Let’s take a look!

Her first pick “is like your classic cup of noodle,” says Condor, “but this is seafood-flavored.” She actually first discovered the noodles at a Japanese 7-Eleven in Tokyo and, of course, they were really, really good. She hasn’t been able to find them anywhere else, aside from this market, so into the cart they go. Luckily for us, though, we found them online! If you’re anywhere else besides Tokyo or Seattle, you can simply click to cart.

Condor loves spice. So naturally, a spicy ramen had to make the list. One of her favorites is this chicken-and-cheese-flavored Korean version. “Oh yeah, this one will get ya,” says Condor as she reaches for the bright yellow bowl with a blissful-looking cartoon character hugging a wedge of cheese. “It’s going to hurt so good.”

Her final favorite combines elements of her first two picks — seafood and spice. “It’s spicy seafood, but udon noodles,” says Condor and they’re sold individually or, for less than $6, you can stock up on a pack of four. We, like Condor, recommend the latter.
