Alright, so previously I reviewed the hot, so logically, we now have the mild. Well, as logically as pho from South Korea seems. The hot was a very worthy rice noodle. Let’s try the mild next.

#5497: Nongshim Pho Rice Noodle Hot – South Korea
I think I had a different version of this at one point… From what I remember, Korean pho was pretty decent! Let’s give it a try.
#5455: Good Seoul Topokki Original – South Korea
Well, this is it. We come to the end of the line of varieties sent by Good Seoul – thanks again! They’ve been a lot of fun, especially since I really like tteokbokki. These haven’t been ramen for the most part, although a few rapokki variants, but something you’d find in the instant noodle aisle at grocery stores in yje Persian Gulf or Dubai – countries in the GCC – and soon (if not already) in Europe. Let’s finish around where we began – with their original flavor.
#5446: Good Seoul Topokki Carbonara – South Korea
I review this in the waning days of summer. When I was young, I remember it was about now when back to school sales started – they start almost before school lets out for summer, making the gauge worthless at this point. But the long afternoon shadows herald the change coming soon. It’s August 5th, 2025. Let’s cook.
#5438: Good Seoul Rapokki Original – South Korea
Rapokki is a combo of rice cake and noodle and usually has a sweet and spicy sauce – this sounds like it’ll be a good one! Let’s have at it!
#5431: Good Seoul Bulgogi Topokki – South Korea
Here’s another one and this has a twist – it has a noodle with it but isn’t rapokki. Let’s delve deeper…
#5428: Good Seoul Rapokki Carbonara – South Korea
Time to go for another rapokki. It’s both tteokbokki and ramyun – together – with sauce. Truly a wonderful texture thing to be sure. Let’s dig in!
#5425: Good Seoul Topokki Cheese – South Korea
Previously, I tried the cheese rapokki, but here we have just the tteokbokki. I know, it isn’t ramen – however, it’s definitely something you’d find on the ramen aisle. Let’s cook it up!
#5419: Good Seoul Topokki Chili Lime – South Korea
Say! I love tteokbokki but I’ve NEVER heard of a variety in this flavor! I’m really quite curious… One way to find out – let’s give it a try!
#5414: Good Seoul Rapokki Cheese – South Korea
So first, I did a pack like this of original topokki. Next, a carbonara cup. This is rapokki – a combo of noodle and rice cake. It’s usually a really great melding of textures. This should be awesome – let’s give it a try.
#5411: Good Seoul Carbonara Topokki – South Korea
Now this one sounds good. In the last post, I complained about all the creamy and spicy varieties out there, but this is tteokbokki and it’s hard for me to get cranky about tteokbokki. Let’s hit the start button on the microwave!
#5408: Good Seoul Topokki Original – South Korea
This is the first of a lot of tteokbokki varieties I’ll be reviewing from Good Seoul. This product is made in South Korea and at this point distributed in the GCC and soon Europe. That’s great – everyone need tteokbokki in their life I swear! This came out of a big box of varieties they sent from Dubai! Let’s give it a try!
#5403: GS25 Jumbo Omori Kimchi Stew Ramyun – South Korea
We’re back at it with another massive Korean mukbang fest. I found this at a store called GMart in Lynnwood, Washington for $20. By the way, no, I’m not eating this whole thing, that’s for sure – it requires 2,2L of boiling water. That’s insane. I don’t advise sucking down this whole thing – 3440kCal, 14,960mg of sodium. I watched a guy eat the whole thing on YouTube along with a Korean beer and some crunchy squid. If you get one, share it with friends is my advice. Regardless, this should be fun – I mean, it’s a lot of noodles.
#5383: Pulmuone Roasting Seoul Jjajang – United States
Here’s an interesting one I found at HMart. Speaking of HMart, I would like to speak directly to them. Hey HMart – how are you today? Would you do me a huge favor? Would you put more varieties in your single pack area? You have so many multipacks which is great, but they’re not well represented in your single pack selection. Expand it, please! Thank you for your time, sincerly, myself. Let’s give this a try!
#5380: Ottogi Jin Jjajang Smoked Black Bean Flavor – United States
I was kindly given this one by my kids’ morning bus driver. He’s a really nice guy and we’ve talked a lot about instant ramyun from Korea – he’s Korean I should add. As I write this, it’s been almost a month since my last review. I took a week to do editing and readying 5 top ten lists – it takes a lot of time. Then I took a couple more weeks off. It’s been a nice break, but I’m done I need to do my work lol – I really enjoy it and productivity is like a drug to me when it comes to this stuff. What’s funny is that by the time this comes out, my kids will have a new morning bus driver and it’ll be the new school year. I posted #5212 today, so that’s…. Hmmm… Oh wow – mid November? Heck, I could take summer off… But I like doing this. Let’s do this one up real nice and big thanks to my kids’ bus drivers – they’re really nice people.
#5361: Chil Kab Instant Hot & Sweet Topokki With Chewy Noodle – South Korea
Found this one that demands refrigeration at HMarr recently. Rapokki! Well, tteokbokki and chewy noodle… A troublesome thing happened though – the sticker on the side was very stuck and since refrigerated, the paper wasn’t compliant. Got that sticker halfway off and then r-r-rip! So apologies for that on the pic of the side panels. Anyways, let’s give it a try!
#5352: Surasang ’88 Seoul Rose Rapokki – South Korea
I’ve been looking forward to this one! Rapokki is a combo of ramyun and tteokbokki – tubes of chewy rice flour. That rose flavor though is something else – a combo of sweet and savory and creamy and wow. This should be great stuff – let’s hit it.
#5342: Harim The Mishik Squid Ramen – South Korea
Thanks to James from Lakeside, California for sending this one! Never heard of this brand or range before. What’s interesting too is it’s squid as well – I like squid. Let’s try it out!
#5335: Surasang ’88 Seoul Rapokki – South Korea
This is the third review of the day and this is a fingers crossed situation of saving the best for last. I love rapokki – ramyun is paired with tteokbokki with a sweet and spicy sauce. This can go awry though, especially if the cooking instructions are iffy. I’m hoping we’re gonna make something rad. Let’s start.
#5315: Nongshim Shin Ramyun x Jayfai Tom Yum Flavour – South Korea
Big thank you to Pher Engi for sending this along! Recently, I reviewed a tom yum flavored dry noodle from this range. This one has soup. Sounds good – curious how it will be, so let’s cook it up and find out.
#5312: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Stir Fry With Cheese – South Korea
Big thanks to Pher Engi for this one! So too warm in the bedroom at night so open the window. Writing this during allergy season so pollen invades room. Misery. That’s how I start my day. Let’s cook.
#5302: Paldo Strawberry Bibimmen (Spring Edition) – South Korea
A big thanks to Noodle Journey for sending this one. So this cold noodle usually has apple I believe but this time it’s strawberry. Very curious about this, so lett’s cook!
#5300: Paldo Bibimmen 2 – South Korea
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for sending this one! So, this is a new version of Paldo’s Bibimmen, kind of a 2.0 deal. Looks interesting – I guess we ought to sample it.
The Ramen Rater Checks Out Bias Apgu Red Chili Ramyun
I was contacted recently by a company making a new, ‘modern’ Korean style ramyun that touted a large serving, lower calories, and great flavor. Sounded good to me. Check it out and see what I though about it! You can get their stuff here!
Good Seoul Sends Topokki & Rapokki!
I was recently contacted by Good Seoul – makers of some really great rice cake topokki and rapokki! Topokki (tteokbokki) is rice flour cylinders that have a soft and chewy texture. Alone, they’re really not tasty, but paired with sauce they’re quite addictive. Rapokki is when you have these and introduce wheat noodles as well, making for a dual-textured experience. You can find their facebook here. I’ve done a few reviews so there’s some images in the video – check it out!
#5260: Samyang Cootiq Truffle Pasta – South Korea
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for this one! My God – what a past few weeks. We’ve gone through some seasonal colds, holidays, ice, snow, snow days… I have been stuck at home, so I’ve been reviewing – a LOT! Just want to go outside and walk around but it’s been hell getting to be able to. Yesterday was a snow day and it melted a lot – this morning it got into the mid 20s – so all that melt has turned into ice. Bah. It’s not permanent – it’s not like, forever, though…
#5255: Samyang Cootiq Mala Cream Pasta – South Korea
Thanks again to Noodle Journey for sending these! This Toowoomba version I reviewed recently from this range really reminded me of their Tangle versions here in the US as far as the noodle is concerned. Let’s give this a try!
#5241: Samyang Cootiq Toowoomba Pasta – South Korea
This comes by way of Noodle Journey – thanks! The other day I reviewed one with the same kind of flavor profile from another company. Let’s try this one!
#5236: Ajumma Republic XL Ramen Real Spicy Kimchi Only For Mukbang Challengers- South Korea
Big thanks to James from Lakeside, California for sending this one along! Well, this is the third review I’m doing today- a day full of so much ‘ugh’ that I would’ve expected it was Friday the 13th… First, I lost a sachet for a variety I was reviewing. Next, I decided to review this one while my kids are home sick – they like to chide eachother repeatedly and get ridiculous which isn’t helpful to my train of thought. Third, once this was done as I was making the kids their lunch, a jar of toothpicks fell and went everywhere. Hopefully this gets everything out of the universe’s system. Anyways, let’s cook up this massive tray of noodles!
#5233: Samyang Buldak Sweet Korean Fried Chicken Flavor – South Korea
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for this one! This is a new variety and it’s all in Korean. What might confuse people here is that they may have thought this would be the flavor of it the whole time. This is not. The flavor of Buldak is the flavor of the sauce that goes on Korean Fried Chicken. Original Buldak doesn’t taste like chicken. I have fought with people over this misconception. ‘But there’s chicken seasoning in it!’ Yes, perhaps in some, however in another Korean variety – a beef flavor, there’s pollock (fish) and no beef. Is it fish flavor? In Pumpkin Spice cup noodle, there’s garlic. Is it garlic flavored? No. These different ingredients are part of the arsenal of food scientist ingredients used to approximate different flavors. Anyways, let’s give this a try!
#5224: Ottogi Red Bean Kalguksu – South Korea
Here’s the first of many that will be from Noodle Journey – a fellow reviewer – thanks! Kalguksu is a knife-cut noodle soup – during the unboxing I mention I thought it referenced clams but I was mistaken. I know, but it happens. Let’s give it a try!
The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls Of All Time 2025 Edition
I’ve noticed over the years that some people are all about bowls vs packs. Why? I’m not exactly sure. I would reckon that steeped noodle consistency might be more their thing, although many are microwavable these days. To be honest, my take is that I don’t really care what it’s in, I just want to review it. These are my favorite ten bowls, picked from reviews I’ve done up to number 5,150. There’s a few neat changes to the list this year, so I invite you to check out The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls Of All Time 2025 Edition and hopefully you find a few you want to try!
The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition
The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition is an annual list of my favorite instant noodles that I’ve reviewed. This last year, I’ve kit some milestones I’m rather proud of, Toward the end of last year, I published by 5000th review. That’s a lot of instant noodle to try throughout the years! With my 500th review, I did a documentary as well as a behind the scenes – check those out to find out about me and what I do here. This list is based of reviews up to #5160. If you are a manufacturer or simply want to see me try a variety I’ve not, please reach out – always happy to try something new. I would also like to mention this list is dedicated to my friend Jamie Burridge, who passed earlier this year. With that, let us look at The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition.
#5176: Wang Korea Pho Seafood – South Korea
This is an interesting one from James of Lakeside – thanks agaiun! So it’s made by a Korean company in Vietnam for export but not just for the US but all over the place. Really excited as I get to use a new chili crisp with it. Let’s give it a try!
#5150: Ajumma Republic XL Ramen Bul Spicy Jjajang Black Bean – South Korea
Well, this is the last of all the big trays I have currently, and this gets drained off. A massive jjahangmyeon! Spicy jjajangmyeon isn’t usually my cup of tea, but we shall see. Let’s cook up a monster.
#5139: Ajumma Republic XL Ramen Hot & Spicy Only For Mukbang Challengers – South Korea
A big thank you to James from Lakeside, California for surprising me a while back with this extra huge instant noodle tray. It’s like four full sized packs of noodles. Will I eat the whole thing? Yeah, I don’t think so. Anything that requires almost a liter and half or water to steep it is going to be pretty crazy. This one was going to me a contender for review #5000. Let’s gie it a try!
#5129: Paldo Mala Bibimmen – South Korea
Thanks to James from Lakeside California for this one. My guess is this will be spicy; maybe Sichuan peppercorn spicy. This is a cold noodle, so it should be interesting. Well, let’s do this.
#5088: Ottogi Snack Shop Noodle Tteok-bokki – South Korea
Well, it’s Tuesday and Kamala Harris just announced Tim Walz as her running mate. I’m guessing you know how it pans out for them at this point, but for me it is August 6th. This one sounds good – tteokbokki is a rich cake in tube form. When prepared, they’re chewy and usually paired with a spicy and sweet sauce. This one is also including noodle, so this is ‘rabokki.’ Let’s cook this huge pack.
#5058: Surasang ’88 Seoul Jjang Topokki – South Korea
Big thanks to James from Lakeside, CA for sending this along. I have to say, I don’t understand what jjajang has to do with Italian influence. Chapagetti, Chacharoni – and this guy. Jjajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodle) is a fusion of Chinese and South Korean cuisine. I will say the chef is kinda funny insofar that if his moustache was larger, he could be dastardly twisting it like a bad guy in an old cartoon. Nothing bad about topokki though – let’s give it a try!
#5049: Surasang ’88 Seoul Topokki Rice Cake With Hot Sauce – South Korea
Another one sent by James of Lakeside, CA – thanks again! Nope – no noodles here, but definitely something you’ll find on shelves next to instant ramyun bowls, that’s for sure. tteokbokki are tubes of rice cake which are soft and chewy – and in this one they’re in a spicy, sweet sauce. Let’s check it out and give it a try!
