Where to buy ramen and toppings
NEO CUCINA supplies the machine, bowls and lids. Buy ramen and toppings from any supplier you like. There is no required vendor.
Ramen
- Just starting: online Asian grocers like Yami or Weee let you test a few flavors without buying full cases.
- Steady sellers: buy by the case from a local Asian grocery supplier, a wholesale club or Amazon.
- Higher volume: a local foodservice distributor or wholesaler usually gives the best price per pack.
- Already a store? Start with ramen you already stock that's on the list below.
To cook by barcode scan, pick flavors from the scanner-compatible list below.
Toppings
- Restaurant Depot, Costco, Walmart, Sysco or any Asian grocery store.
- Buy larger packs, then portion them into small lidded cups customers can grab and add to their bowl.
- Keep eggs, meat, kimchi and other perishables refrigerated.
