Instant ramen, no. The real stuff? Even seeing it on a menu in the DC area is rare enough that it should be pointed out.

Back to the discussion at hand, Hama Sushi in Herndon does a passable version, and is the only place down here I've run across that offers the choice of miso or shoyu broth. The roast pork bits in the soup are pretty good, and while I don't think the noodles are made on site, they don't look or taste like Nissin's finest either. Hama does regular business with the ANA crews on layover at Dulles, so I've always taken that as a pretty good vote of confidence.

Maneki Neko in Falls Church has a choice of Miso and Shoyu... unfortunately, they're both terrible.
