This sounds interesting; I donn’t see what flavor it is as ‘tofu flavor’ wouldn’t make much sense. Spicy? Sweet? I suppose I’d better cook it up and find out!

#5291: Lemonilo Ramen Fire Chow Mein – United States
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!
#5289: Samyang Sweet Buldak Spicy Ramen Big Bowl – United States
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!
#5287: You Ni Yi Mian Spicy Dan Dan Dry Noodle – United States
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!
#5285: Lemonilo Ramen Chick’N Curry – United States
Today, we have a variety from Indonesian company Lemonilo for the US market. I like curry – a lot. Let’s give it a go.
#5284: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Red Fiery Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
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.
#5282: Yang Zhang Gui Bowl Noodle Hong Kong Style Rich Sauce – China
Big thanks to Pher Engi for this one! When she was at a noodle shop, she asked if I’d like to review it. It had zero english on it and so of course I was game. Turns out there’s english info on the bottom of the bowl. This one has two types of noodle – vermicelli, wheat noodle as well. Not only that, it’s got an egg! Stewed egg isn’t my favorite, but it’s quite interesting to see. Let’s give this neat one a try!
#5281: Nissin Chow Mein Chicken Flavor – United States
Tried this 12 years ago. Packaging has changed as well as what’s in there – let’s give it a whirl in the microwave!
#5280: Trailtopia Adventure Food Chicken With Broccoli Ramen Noodles – United States
Here’s one that The Fat Hipster sent – thanks! These are made for hiking/camping as they don’t make a huge amount of waste that takes up a lot of space afterwards, they’re light, and just need boiling water. Let’s check it out!
#5279: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice With Noodles General Tso’s Chicken Fllavor – United States
Here’s a new packaging variety from the ‘states. These contain instant rice as well as little bits of noodle – last one I tried was quite nice – let’s give it a go!
#5277: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice Korean Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
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!
#5273: Nongshim Noodle Salad With Miso Vinaigrette – United States
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for sending this along! This is a cold noodle variety – the third from the Noodle Salad range by Nongshim – let’s give it a go.
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!
#5272: Tapatio Ramen Noodle Soup Chili Lime Shrimp Flavored Ramen – United States
I’m still pretty surprised at how much I liked the Tapatio Birria version – I figured I’d try this one, the last they sent (thank you very much!). I’ve got shrimp, so I’m hoping to do this up nice. Let’s give it a go!
#5269: Nissin Chow Mein Spicy Teriyaki Beef Flavor – United States
This one came out of the gargantuan National Noodle Day box Nissin sent. I looked it up and I reviewed this once before – in 2013. Let’s revisit this one – done a lot differently as for my garnish than the first time.
#5268: Tapatio Ramen Noodle Soup Birria Flavored Ramen – United States
Here’s a newcomer to the Tapatio cup range – Birria. I’m ready – let’s try it out!
#5267: Prince Katsu Kuromi Pho Rice Noodle Soup Spicy Beef Flavored – United States
This one comes by way of James from Lakeside, California – thanks again! I think this might be the last of the Prince Katsu/Sanrio collab variants – could be wrong though. These are made in Vietnam for A-Sha. Let’s give it a try!
#5262: Bibigo Squid Game Tteokbokki Rice Cake With Sweet & Spicy Sauce – United States
We were at HMart and saw these – couldn’t resist. Who could resist a nice plate of tteokbokki in between watching people get slaughtered while playing children’s games? I’m hopeful on this one; I really like tteokbokki. I should also mention – this is my 2,500th episode of Instant Noodle recipe Time – it’s down at the bottom. I forgot about that, so episode 2,501 will have a little more about that. Let’s give it a try.
A Donation Of Prison Ramen!
A big Thank you to Aimee from the Ramen Junkies Facebook group! I’ve never had a Nissin Top Ramen corrections-style variety before and so this is the first and I’m STOKED. There’s really no correlating variety outside of prisons and jail like this flavor. Fascinating. Watch and check it out – and thanks again!
Ramen-Aid: A Nutrition Supplement For Your Noodles
I was really surprised about this. I received an email from a fellow who had asked me some questions in the past and he told me he had an instant noodle supplement – vitamins, minerals – that kind of supplement. I was instantly fascinated and gave him my address. I have tried one – the immune support. I can report that it does not affect the flavor of instant noodle broth in any way that I could detect. Watch the video and if you like get some at www.ramen-aid.com.
#5261: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Stir Fry Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
Thanks again to Noodle Jourmey for sending this along! I’ve seen this around quite a bit and I’ve tried the tray version, but here’s the pack. I’ve curious and ready to give it a go, so let’s do it.
#5259: Prince Katsu Hello Kitty Garden Veggie Noodle Soup – United States
A-Sha Dry Noodle of Taiwan’s Prince Karsu range has a lot of Hello Kitty going on – snacks as well. This one’s made in Vietnam. Let’s cook it up and give it a try – I don’t believe it contains any Hello Kitty in the cup’s ingredients.
#5252: Paik Cook Paik Ramyun Korean Style Spicy Noodle Soup – United States
Found this at HMart – it was this or a jjajangmyeon and I went straight to this one. I don’t know anything about the gentleman on the front – his name is Paik Jong Won. Here’s a little about him from Wikipedia –
#5249: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Stir Fry Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
This little square tray caught my attention at a local grocery store recently. I though it looked interesting, so we shall see. I must say the microwaved noodle usually is quite good in Nongshim stuff.
#5243: Tapatio Ramen Noodle Soup Carne Asada With Lime – United States
This one sounds good – the Tapatio folks sent it along with two more varieties I’ll be reviewing in upcoming days. Let’s try it!
#5242: Nissin Cup Noodles Dill Pickle Ramen Noodles In Sauce – United States
When I found out about these, I was skeptical. I’ve been preaching two varieties – pizza and taco flavored. But dill pickle doesn’t make sense to me; dill pickles aren’t served warm unless on a hamburger as far as I know. On the bright side, they were at Walmart at $1.18. On the sad side, if they did do media kits of these, they didn’t send me one and I’m truly bummed about that. I’m trying these out on July 3rd and will release this post on the 5th, skipping the 4th as I’m guessing you’ve got better things to do than hear my thoughts about instant noodles on the 4th of July if you’re in the states. I did release a post yesterday though.
#5240: Ottogi Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
Well, as I type this is January 30th, 2025. Just had almost a full week of kids being sick and at the tail end while the kids are now back to school, we’ve got a cold. Feels like I got punched in the nose, my eyes are drippy, and I feel beat. Chicken instant noodles sound like a nice restorative, although I’ve got to go to the store and get scallions this morning. I feel the whole ‘I don’t want to do anything’ voice in my head but I learned a while back that if you listen to that voice, it’ll get its way. So onward! This one was sent by James from Lakeside, California – thanks again! I did get another from this interesting Ottogi range a while back. I want to say this is one that ends up in Mexico often – unsure. Anyways, on with it.
#5239: Nongshim Toomba Stir Fry – United States
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for this one! So it turns out this is based on a dish served at Outback Steakhouse called Toowooba pasta. I asked my friend Paul who lives in Australia what Toowoomba was and its a place. Anyways, let’s give this a try.
#5231: Prince Katsu My Melody Pho Rice Noodle Soup Chicken Lemongrass – United States
Hey kiddies it’s time to check one out sent by James from Lakeside, California – thanks! Prince Katsu is a branch oof A-Sha Dry Noodle and these are made in Vietnam. Let’s give it a try!
#5229: Samyang Hot Pepper JjamBbong Ramen – United States
Big thanks to Noodle Journey for this one – thanks again! So jjambbong is a spicy seafood noodle. I’ve been curious about this one and the others in this range… Let’s check it out.
#5227: Ottogi Japchae Korean Style Instant Vermicelli – United States
This one came by way of James from Lakeside, CA – thanks again! So I haven’t had Japchae in years – it’s a dry sauce vermicelli! Let’s try it out.
#5226: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Red Fiery Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
This came by way of my friend over at Noodle Journey – thanks! The Shin people should be stoked – I’m definitely curious. Let’s give it a try!
#5223: Thai Authentic Chicken Curry Ramen – United States
Here’s another one sent by James from Lakeside, California – thanks again! This is one of the varieties you can find at Dollar Tree and they’ve generally been quite good. Let’s see how this one stacks up.
#5221: Maruchan Birria Beef Ramen Bowl – United States
Well, this is embarrassing. I deleted the picture that should be above and the pictures of the bowl contents. Yes, I used undelete software – didn’t work. So, here we are. I got one from James of Lakeside and one from Noodle Journey, but alas, it was too late. Post processing, post cooking. Well, let’s cook it and try it and… Yeah.
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!
#5211: Samyang Buldak Rose Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor Wide Glass Noodle – United States
Been curious about this one and it was found at 99 Ranch Market – very cool! Haven’t really seen much of any new Buldak varieties around this area recently, so that was a nice find. Well, let’s try it!
#5208: NeoStar Ramen Delight Spicy Beef Instant Noodle Bowl – United States
Well, here we are again. Last time wasn’t so great. Let’s see how this one fares. This was sent by James from Lakeside, California – thanks again!
The Ramen Rater’s Bottom Ten Worst Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition
Since 2013, I’ve been compiling an annual list of the varieties I’ve not liked. Well, beyond not liked – abhorred, found wretched, disgusting; not palatable. I’ve dedicated this year’s edition in memory of my good friend Jamie who truly reveled in how bad noodle varieties could be and had a shortlist of terms they would use that were clear indicators of how bad they were probably going to be; such terms as ‘inspired, authentic, and the like. These usually meant that they were anything but. You’ll find that terminology running rampant in here. This list is current up to review 5150. I should note that these are my opinions and so if you like these or manufacture these, keep that in mind. Let’s now peruse The Ramen Rater’s Bottom Ten Worst Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition.
#5206: Nongshim Bae Hong Dong XXX-Picy Ramyun Noodles With Spicy Sauce – United States
Well this in the third in a series of bargain store finds – this was purchased for $299 at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in Kenmore, WA for $2.99. That’s cheap! I reviewed it’s non-export version a little while back, which I found at HMart. I like this – I am guessing its the same but the imagery is very different – and the ‘XXX-Picy’ is really neat/weird! It’s a cold noodle. Let’s prepare it!
#5205: Norita Roasted Pork Miso Tonkotsu Ramen – United States
Here’s the second of my three review series of stuff found at local bargain stores. This is another one From Dollar Tree – and the price there on the label was the price I paid for it. I almost never have seen an instant noodle with a price on it – fascinating! What’s also kind of interesting is this and the last one are 300ml. IDK if that’s a pointer that both may be from the same folks but I don’t think so. I should also mention I reviewed a similar packaged product awhile back. The packaging did change and when the emperor gets new clothes, it gets a new review. Finally, when I reviewed it previously, it was incredibly good – and made in Thailand. Still made in Thailand. Let’s cook it up.
