The Instant Noodle Factory is officially shutting down on Seventh Street.

The quick-serve spot had been dark this year.

Last week, ownership — the wife-husband team of Cierra Beck and Tat Lee — provided an update on Instagram:
Thanks, everyone, for your support these past 2 years! You might have noticed we've been a bit quiet on here these past few months. Cierra has been struggling with a health issue and needed to take some time away from the business. Combined with some additional setbacks, we made the bittersweet decision to close our stores! A huge thank you to our employees, past and present... Hope to see you guys next week at East Village for some noodle deals and a chance to win one of our noodle cook machines!  

Starting today, they will sell their remaining inventory — from noodles to glassware — at the shop, 130 E. Seventh St., just west of Avenue A. 

The EV outpost opened in December 2023, following the successful start of a popular DIY noodle shop in Long Island City.

The couple is launching an app, Noodlepedia, and Noodle Club, a monthly subscription box. Details are here.
