Over 5,000 Instant Ramen Noodle Reviews Since 2002
This is interesting to me as it’s gone through multiple changes. This one is Shin but green in color to distinguish it from Shin Green which is another product altogether. This used to be in red with a Vegan logo on it, but I think they decided more green would be less confusing. That being said, and as logical as that might be, I’ve encountered people wondering if this is Shin Green and not Shin Ramyun Vegan. Anyways, let’s try it out.
Well, they forgot (so did I) about the LEGO calendar we’re doing concurrently, but here’s another one from the Nissin Germany box!
Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount. I like seafood, but bean thread… It really depends. I’m in the mood today though so guess we shall see – let’s give it a whirl!
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!
Well, here we go with day two. I’ve reviewed this one somewhat recently, so no new number here. We’re also doing a LEGO City advent calendar here so I’m showing what was in there from the previous day in the video. By the way it’s Giving Tuesday I hear so if you wanna help out click here! Let’s continue on with the Nissin Germany Advent Calendar!!!
I tried the curry version recently and wasn’t incredibly happy about it, but maybe a KBBQ version might be better. Found these at HMart so that was nice. What’s more, this is made in Poland for US export – fascinating! Let’s give it a try!
I tried another one of these recently – found at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. Anyways, they’re thick things. Red oil? Sounds ominous – let’s do it.
Found this one at HMart. Nothing pleases me more than when a brand changes its name. I think they did this for US export varieties so people would pronounce the name closer to the correct way. This one sounds good to me – let’s cook.
Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen megabox! Highly recommend these as they have a great selection of varieties from around the world – go to www.projectramen.com and use the coupon code THERAMENRATER to get a discount The holidays are pretty much here and these boxes are a really great pick for the ramen lover in your life! Let’s check out this chicken variety from Taiwan!
I’ve had golden pea variants and they’ve been good – but mashed pea? Maybe this is liked the mashed potato one I reviewed recently. Let’s give it a try!
Here’s another German Cup Noodles variety – very curious so let’s get to it.
Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount. Soyed beef? I’m guessing perhaps like corned beef? I really couldn’t find anything about it but that’s my guess. Let’s cook it up!
You’re probably wondering ‘whoa what’s with the jump in numbers here?’ Well, I pushed the wrong button. My fancy keyboard is now doing double letters on the i’s and r’s intermittently as well. But here’s a sneak peek and one of a series from these folks – neat stuff!
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Next up is a super cute bowl that we think you’ll love! This bowl features yummy udon noodles in a delicious broth that combines Japanese dashi with pork extract and a hint of green onion to create an experience full of umami flavor!”
Big thanks to Pher Engi for sending this along! This is an interesting one – I had a chat with my friend Jamie some time ago about Marmite and instant noodles. He sent me some little containers of the stuff and recommended it on toast – and it’s pretty good I must admit. Maybe in the future I’ll get some and make some noodles and mix it in. This on the other hand in Vegemite which sounds like the same thing – the leftover sludge from making beer. Let’s cook it up and see what it tastes like!
Here’s another from Pher Engi – thanks! So Vit’s is a very long-lived company in Malaysia and have been making noodle products for ages. This is a dry variety with a shrimp paste and spicy nature. Sounds good to me – let’s give it a try.
Big thanks to Pher Engi for this one! So what I’m getting is that this is a curry – and that’s about it. I don’t get anything from translation for kaw except kay and that’s unhelpful. All I know is I like curry from this part of the world – even got a mint plant a few minutes ago. Let’s give it a whirl.
A few reviews ago, I had a different collab from A-Sha – a Taiwanese Beef Noodle and it was insanely good. This one sounds spicy – let’s give it a go!
Another from S*Mart! When I opened this pack the smell of garlic was real strong – curiosity has me in its grips… Last time I had a crayfish flavor variety from China it was violently spicy… Let’s give it a whirl!
Here’s the last one of these, sent by James of Lakeside, California – thanks again! This is a prison ramen – lots of clear pack everywhere. Time to cook it up!
The second of the Jin Ramen bowls from Otoki. Excited to try this with my new add-in! Let’s hit it!
Thank you to Pher Engi for sending this along! This brand isn’t familiar but I must say I like the logo with the duck in the letter D. Let’s give it a try!
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “We had to end our list with more Pokémon fun! This tasty ramen pack features ramen noodle in a spicy soup with a spicy miso-based soup. This soup has great spice with chili paste and chili powder and tons of umami with hints of beef and gochujang in the broth!”
Here’s one from James of Lakeside – thanks again! He sent two of these – one with bean thread, one with rice vermicelli. Let’s see what’s within.
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Next up is a classic bowl of shoyu ramen with a fun Pokémon package! This
bowl features thick tasty noodles in a chicken and shoyu-based soup with
hints of ginger, garlic and onion for tons of umami! Plus, this bowl has 1 of 3
possible Pokémon designs”
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.
Here’s another one from James of Lakeside California – thanks again! I was pleasantly surprised with the chicken flavor from this range – not bad. Doesn’t make we interested in going to prison though – these will generally only be sold to people who are in prison. My guess is this range wasn’t so popular or an order wasn’t picked up. It’s in Grocery Outlet all over the place at the moment. Let’s give it a try!
Big thanks to James from Lakeside California for this. Okay first things first. He found this at Grocery Outlet in California. Yesterday, I walked over tot our local one in hopes that they might have some other varieties. They had the ones he sent – all the exact same ones. Second, these are definitely what are known as prison ramen; they have the earmarks with the clear packaging which makes it awful hard to smuggle and contraband using the packs. Well, it says it is made in the US so the next question – who makes these? This image of a sachet of Maruchan Creamy Chicken shows the text and font same as on these. But why? They already have a line of products for corrections. Anyways, I’m leaning towards them being the manufacturer – could be totally wrong though. Anyways, let’s give it a try!
Thank to Pher Engi for sending this one! This one’s a bit confusing to me as in my research of this particular style, the kaw style is made with chicken, however I see a myriad of seafood. No matter – let’s try it out!
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – ” Let’s see what they had to say about this one – “Now for some tantalizing yakisoba! This tasty yakisoba has a salt and pork base with plenty of veggie flavor for tons of umami. And with green onion and accents of garlic and pepper, this yakisoba is packed full of flavor! Truly an enticing bowl of noodles!”
Here’s a new one from the folks over at Lemonilo! They’re an Indonesian company with export varieties – and this one says it’s going to have a burn to it! Let’s give it a try!
This came by way of James from Lakeside, CA – thanks! This is a score – I so rarely get varieties for Europe! This is a beef with Sichuan pepper flavor variety – made in Vietnam for the Polish market. Rad! Let’s give it a whirl!
I actually ordered this off of YamiBuy which is something I never do but I wanted to give this a go. I’m guessing it won’t be incredibly spicy and I don’t know if or what to pair with it. Dessert ramen? I mean, there’s candy references all over it… Maybe a little chicken though. Let’s cook!
Another one from James of Lakeside, CA – thanks again! These are made in China, but everything of the packaging shows me its only made for US sales. Sounds like it’ll be decent – let’s find out!
A big thanks to James from Lakeside, CA for sending these! This is a Taiwanese export version I’ve not reviewed (surprisingly enough). The brand is Vedan, however it is pronounced with a w sound – like way-dan. So now you know. Let’s cook.
A busy week so only got a couple done. Found this at Fred Meyer and though I ought to review it, so here I am. This will mean I’ve tried the pack, the tray, and the bowl. Okay let’s hit it.
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Let’s see what they had to say about this one – “Let’s head north to Aomori prefecture for some yummy yakisoba! This yakisoba features the popular stamina salt tare from the local Aomori brand Stamina Tare. With plenty of deep umami flavor and a hint of garlic, this stir-fried noodle dish is perfect for a celebration!”
I’ve done a lot of reviews lately of things that arrived in a Nissin Germany advent calendar box. This particular variety arrived in a box from Nissin USA that contained every noodle product they make! Let’s cook this one up!
I think this is the very last of the German Cup Noodles – it has been a lot of fun reviewing them! They came in a big advent calendar the folks at Nissin Germany sent – thanks again! Let us begin.
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for this one! This is another cold noodle, this time from Japan. Let’s hit it up!
