Here’s the second of four of these I got at the new Bellevue Uwajimaya last month.
Two packets – yup again it looks like the Koka seasoning packet! The seasoning has a powder compartment as well as an oil compartment. the green packet is veggies.
Over 5,000 Instant Ramen Noodle Reviews Since 2002
Here’s the second of four of these I got at the new Bellevue Uwajimaya last month.
Two packets – yup again it looks like the Koka seasoning packet! The seasoning has a powder compartment as well as an oil compartment. the green packet is veggies.
Shramp! Nothin’ like shramp! Ami I wrong? AM I??? Well, I like shrimp and so today I will ingest a bowl of Ve Wong Shrimp flavor instant noodle soup from Taiwan. ‘Nuff said.
So far I’ve tried the big bowl, the pack, and now it’s the cup. I generally enjoy this stuff so figuring I’ll like this one too. Here we go!
Thought I would do a news update since it’s been quite a while. So to start with, I send out stickers to those who are kind enough to send me donations of noodles that I can’t get here. Well, one of these folks, Greg B. from Florida, has sent me a photo of where he stuck one of them.
Ah! Today it’s breakfast later than normal so breaking out the big bowl action! Seafood flavor sounded good and going to add a couple of eggs to it too.
Today there was an open six pack of these so I decided even with a zillion ramens I’d get this one to try. Oolongmen!
Here’s another that Floridian Greg B. sent me a while back. Spicy beef, eh? Sounds good to me!
Yes, that’s right – it’s pizza flavored noodles. More interesting? They’re from Pakistan! So here’s yet another show of force in international fusion cuisine! Pizza is Italian, ramen noodles are a Japanese thing, and Pakistan is, well, another country! Well, let’s dig in!
There’s a new tab at the top of the page simply called ‘The List.’ I will attempt to contantly have it up to date and it’s everything I’ve reviewed and everything I’ve got in my ramen box as well. You can also click here to view it.
After the last time I reviewed anything by this brand, I got quite a few messages – agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, and even thinking I sold this stuff. Well, all I know is that I didn’t like it last time. At all really.
Check it out here!
Here‘s the article.
So this looks interesting – a square bowl! It’s also Sunlee brand which I’ve enjoyed in the past. Got this at a nice little shop in Anaheim while we were doing Disneyland.
Let’s start the road to 1000 reviews with this gem I’ve been looking for for a while now. I really like the regular old Neoguri and hopefully I like this one too.
9/28/2024 – Update – Back on September 9th, 2011, I published this post – it was an early time in my reviewing – many things have changed since then; I used to use a phone to take pictures of products – I think it was a Blackberry Curve at the time. As I’m only a handful of reviews to #5000, it’s really weird to look at this compared to how I present reviews now. Anyways, there’s a video at the bottom I made at the time.
I was quite happy to see a few new big bowl style instant noodles when I was at an Asian grocery the other day, especially Dragonfly brand – I think I’ve only reviewed a single solitary Dragonfly instant noodle thus far. Now I think there’s at least four or five to do! Well, let’s start with this one. Beefalicious? Let’s hope so – I mean it IS the review before the big psychological number 500!
So while we were in California doing the Disneyland thing this summer, we went to a Ranch 99 and I got this. Never seen anything quite like it before; a fresh noodle bag, Chinese, and said it was enough for six people! I guess it’s time to give it a shot.
My sister brought these back for me from Canada a while back and I’ve been coveting them for a special occasion. I thought closing in on the 500th review would be a good time to break out the tippy macaroni! So here we go!
Got this one at Walmart. Was pretty sure I hadn’t tried it and was right so here goes.
I’m going to guess that this is about the same as the Ottogi Jin Ramen (Hot) except it will lack the heat. Yeah that makes sense I think.
I got a few of these not too long ago and so here’s the first of them. The top is a clear cover.
Something from a brand I’ve never seen before. This is a Korean fresh noodle and I’m hoping it’s good and spicy!
Never seen this before – I also got a chicken variety as well I’ll review a bit down the road. I like the name – Phoya… Maybe there could be a froyo and pho place called PhoYo? Ya!
Here’s another one that arrived in the east coast care package from Greg B. of Orlando, FL. This time its stew beef flavor – let’s go!
First things first. My wife pointed this out at a Korean supermarket here in town and I was like ‘what the heck is this?’ So we got it and I’ve had some issues with it. First, I had a lot of problems finding out how to cook it. Also, what was it called??? As you can see, there’s one of those funky square bar codes on top of the container here. I went and scanned it with my Android phone and sent it to the Google translate. Click here to see what it comes up with…
So here’s the first one I’m reviewing that were sent by Greg B. of Orlando, FL. He says it’s really good stuff and so I’ll give it a shot!
Ramen Rater reader Greg B. from Orlando, FL offered to send me some of his favorite noodles that he hadn’t seen me review before. I was really stoked to see this box!
So here’s another one of these big bowls! Crab flavor sounds nice!
Again three packets of seasoning – clockwise from top: veggies, seasoned oil and dry powder seasoning.
Here’s a new brand – Kailo! This is a big bowl of noodles too – and what an odd image on the front. But hey, how can chicken be fouled (it’s already been fowled HAHAHAHAHA – bad I know but I’m full of noodles now) it’s such a basic flavor. So here we go! UPDATE – This stuff is actually ABALONE CHICKEN – that explains a lot.
So here’s the first Kamfen fresh udon I’ve tried. So something new for today!
Sounds like a pretty standard cup noodle. Thing is is that it’s Korean, so this kind of spicy is different than most spicy stuff.
So I’ve had this variety, but not in a cup before. Strange but it seems that these are just a bit different in cups… Anyways…
This one was a puzzle – the only things in English on the packaging wwas a website called itomen.co.jp. I sent out a call for help in identifying this one and got help from a reader named Eric Z. from Parkland, FL! He scanned the bar code on the image and found it on Google! Not too shabby! Thanks again! Now let’s open this one up and see what’s inside.
Got this one at the new Bellevue Uwajimaya. Shio means salt, so I suppose this is salt ramen. Let’s give it a try!
The noodles have been identified aptly by a Ramen Rater reader! Check out the review tomorrow to find out who they are!
So this guy from Germany is all about the ramen nachos apparently and wants to argue about it and compete with it. Kind of strange…
So I noticed that the previous review of the Mushroom flavor was a rice noodle soup bowl as opposed to a rice noodle bowl. Interesting. Anyways, here’s another Thai Kitchen bowl.
Tried the Spring Onion last week and thought it was good so thought I ought to see if I can find more of these. Sure enough, found a couple at Safeway.
I’ve been waiting for the right time to review this and today is it. Potato noodles eh? I’ve had sweet potato noodles in the Baijia brand offerings and been quite unhappy with them. Hopefully Nongshim can make the potato happy again…
We’ve never seen this brand before andthought hey why not. My wife really likes mushroom flavor things so thought she could have this for lunch, minus a couple bites and slurps for reviewing purposes.
