You don't seem to realize that ramen ≠ instant ramen. Not to knock the instant stuff, but there is a huge difference between the two. A ramen shop puts a lot of work into the broth (sometimes days of prep) as it's usually the feature that will distinguish it from another shop's ramen. Also, ramen buffs put a lot of importance on fresh noodles. I've gone to ramen shops that refuse to offer ramen on their take-out menu because they don't want people to think less of their ramen when they get home and the noodles are soggy.
Anyway, from the instant ramen varieties you're mentioning I see you haven't found your local Asian food store. Find it. You'll find entire shelves dedicated to different varieties of instant ramen, some which go to great pains to get as close to ramen as possible (separate broth packs, different topping packs, freeze-dried ramen noodles...). While you're there, ask where you can find a local restaurant that serves ramen. You're in for a treat.
I've been in the San Diego area for a little while and have found three restaurants that serve ramen: Hanaoka, Tajima and Kampai (Kampai being my favorite). Hanaoka also has Kyoto, a Japanese food store, right across the street. Directions for all three are pretty easy to find using Google... anyone else in the SD area have recommendations?
