Authentic Asian flavor. Ajinomoto. Authentic ramen noodles. Ready in 4 min. Cook thoroughly. Our Heritage: In the early 1980s, a Taiwanese immigrant family started a local dim sum restaurant near San Francisco. Their delicious potsticker became so popular with customers, that in 1986, they launched Ling Ling based on their family recipe. They chose the Ling Ling brand name after one of the two famous pandas gifted to the National Zoo in Washington DC. Since then, Ling Ling has continued to bring the authentic flavors of Asia to your table. A Craveable Classic: From its culinary origins in China to its creative perfection in Japan, ramen has become an irresistible favorite of food lovers around the world.
