Over 5,000 Instant Ramen Noodle Reviews Since 2002

I reviewed the instant in a smaller pack quite a while ago. It’s got a few seasoning packets and this one only has one big packet. Definitely not instant as the instructions ask for an interesting preparation method. Let’s dig in!

I’ve been having fun re-reviewing these MAMA packs lately – it’s been a while that’s for sure. Here’s another one – pork flavor. It probably won’t be like a Tom Yum kind of thing, so I’m curious how it’s going to taste.

NOTE – This was originally catalogued as a ‘Re-Review’ but actually hadn’t reviewed it before. Therefore, I am correcting this and making it the next successive review, which is #937.

Went to 99 Ranch Market yesterday and picked these up. I reviewed them way back – #136 – over two years ago. I gave them 2.0 out of 5.0 stars. Many of your have commented on how much you enjoy it and so I think I’ll give it another chance. I’ve found varieties from back then are more to my liking now.

This one came from Greg B. of Marathon, Florida – thanks, Greg! What the heck is Moo Nam Tok supposed to taste like? From Wikipedia:
Hello fellow “Rameners” My name is Greg, and I am a Ramenholic. As a new contributor to RamenRater.com I thought it would be appropriate to use my first post to share how I prepare Ramen noodles.

Needed something fast to eat before we went to do our Black Friday errands. No, we didn’t get up at 4am or anything; we need to get an oil change and woke up at noon. So here’s some instant MAMA.

Been a really really long time since I reviewed some MAMA noodles! That’s because I’ve reviewed so many of them in the past I have a really hard time finding new ones to eat! These are some I got at OC Grocery in Anaheim, California on our vacation. They didn’t have an enormous selection of noodles, however I didn’t have most of them and left with a couple bagfuls – very nice little place – smelled great and nice people! Anyways, on with the review!

So here’s one that came down from Canada but I wager it’s available at most good sized Asian groceries around here.

Phở bò? Here we go! I like the picture on the lid – looks very inviting and fresh and tasty. We shall see how it tastes! Join me won’t you? WON’T YOU?

So here’s another of MAMA’s Oriental Kitchen line. I have a feeling this is going to live up to its name.

So this is an interesting packaging first off. The lid is made from a metal foil and underneath that is all plastic. Here goes some tom yum shrimp flavor!

A little taller than most of the cup noodles I’ve seen, here we have MAMA Pork Flavour…

So here’s something new – MAMA’s Oriental Kitchen… Let’s try…

So thought I’d give it a whirl. This is one of the few I haven’t tried left at 99 Ranch Market! I see a problem coming on and I don’t like it!

Happy bowl of artificial pork flavor noodles! Awesome!

Oil and powder and chili powder and veggies…

Some Kimchi flavor from Thailand! Should be interesting. I’m going to doctor it up today with quite a few ingredients. One thing kind of interesting is that there is currently a cabbage shortage in Korea, where Kimchi is so widely consumed. Here is an article about it – thanks for the info Kit!

So some more of MAMA’s stuff. Very thin noodles – VERY thin!

Chili powder, powder and seasoned oil.

So I asked Kit to pick out two packs of noodles for me to try next. Here’s the first one. I’m curious whether it’ll be any good; the MAMA brand has reviews on here from 1 to 4 stars so we’ll just have to see. By the way, on the back in two places it says tom yum instead of tom yam like it does on the front. I’m going to go with tom yum being correct and the yam being a typo.

Some hot stuff from MAMA here today. We’ll see if it’s really hot and spicy…


Pork porridge. Let me refine that – ARTIFICIAL pork porridge. Those three words have been kind of interesting to say while this little cup has been kicking it around here. But no more. Artificial pork porridge is lunch.

So I like Pho noodles I’ve gotten around here from the various little restaurants. Usually I get some variety of beef Pho. Let’s see how this stacks up to the real thing…

So what can I say – cheap noodles are fun too. These are from Thailand and called Mamy but they’re MAMA brand…

So one of my favorite all time noodles is Indomie Mi Goreng Satay. I was very pleased to see that there was a new Mi Goreng out there – at least new to me.

Some noodles from Thailand today. I’ve reviewed some noodles that are by MAMA and Tom Yum but not the creamy.

Okay. Last time I had duck noodles was a long long time ago and it was Myojo’s hat in the ring. Now here’s MAMA’s duck flavor.

So this is an interesting one. The package weighs practically nothing and the noodle blocks is extremely thin. Weirdness….

MAMA Pad Kee Mao… The pack is shiny and shows a seriously elaborate dish… Not really much of anything in English on this one.

So here’s something new – pho. Chicken pho. I think this probably won’t live up to its name but we’ll see.

Nam Vang? Phnom Penh style? Looks interesting to be sure. A lot of words on this bag!

Rice noodles – like the Pad Thai in the similar packaging…

So some Pad Thai by MAMA. This should be interesting – I’ve had Pad Thai before at a restaurant and its not too bad so we’ll see how it stands up here.

Okay so first off, here we go with the MAMA noodles. I really didn’t expect to like these but what can I say – not too bad. Mi Ga it says on the top left – Ga means chicken in Vietnamese – I know that much. Interesting as this is a Thai product.

MAMA: Oriental Style Instant (Chand Clear Soup) Stars: ***
Notes: This stuff ain’t too bad. Definitely rice noodles. The broth was extremely good – a little spicy, but clear as it purports. Tasted like a celery soup. Did just fine with it even
 though I have a severe unrelated gut-ache.
