A local pancit canton brand has made it to the “Best Instant Noodles 2025” list of New York Times!
In a January 2025 article published by the American publication in its Wirecutter section, Lucky Me! Pancit Canton Kalamansi flavor was listed among the standouts in the citrusy ramen category. It was followed by the popular Thai brand Mama’s Shrimp Tom Yum Noodles.
“Of all the noodles we’ve tested, the Pancit Canton Kalamansi disappeared from the bowl the fastest,” New York Times supervising editor Marilyn Ong wrote.
The article also described the famed pancit canton brand as “bright and citrusy plus homey and comforting all at once.”
“The dry seasoning, soy sauce, and oil packets combine to produce a nuanced blend of light soy and fresh, aromatic citrus. The noodles are skinnier and more extra-curly than even your standard cheap ramen, so they had almost a fluffy feel,” it added.
According to Ong, the list was compiled by asking a panel of experts which included cookbook authors, ramen reviewers and ramen shop owners. The editorial team of Wirecutter also taste-tested each of the noodles and rounded up their absolute favorite.
Wirecutter is the product recommendation service from The New York Times. Lucky Me! meanwhile is among the brands of Monde Nissin.
