A lot of it is fried, stewed in pork fat, or has a lot of sugar. Sometimes all three. It's a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol. It's is some of the tastiest food I've ever had though. If you've never had it, make some Filipino friends or visit San Bruno, CA (or Hawaii).
it's extremely salt-and-fat-heavy
Everyday Filipino food in the more rural areas is fairly healthy; lots of fish, veggies and legumes. The American influence is becoming more apparent though, I'm noticing more fried foods and added sugar these days. "Fiesta" foods will certainly kill you if you eat them frequently.
People love to shit on Europe, but it's continent with many rich and proud culinary traditions, that gave us some of the most iconic food in the world -What do you mean there's no Euro cuisine?
There is a whole lot of north American west coast sushi rolls that I think are great, and I kinda hate this conservatism sushi tend to have. In a lot of cases it's just putting availability and cost of ingredients in Japan at a random point in time on a pedestal that it doesn't deserve.
Restaurant Indian food tends to be super heavy in butter and/or creams (at least in the US). It's super tasty but despite being vegetarian it's actually not really all that healthy. I think that's a big problem with all these choices though, the food you'd get in a restaurant contains way more sodium, fat, etc because that's what's going to give it really strong flavors. If you were to cook them at home all of these cuisines have healthy lighter (but still tasty options).Probably Indian - I say that because a lot of their dishes are vegetarian and as a westerner with an appetite for meat, they do a damn good job of making vegetables taste amazing. South Indian cuisine in particular has really great variety.

Instant ramen sure. The traditional preparation is somewhat more nutritious.
Nah, it's still a ton of salt and fat. And basically all carbs. I love it, but it's not healthy.

Like any other food a bowl of ramen can be made more or less healthy depending on the ratio of salt, noodles and vegetables, and the bone stock used in traditional ramen is itself highly nutritious. High sodium and fat content is a problem with soup in general and not necessarily unique to ramen.
