Over 5,000 Instant Ramen Noodle Reviews Since 2002
So it took a little bit of time but we found it. Looked big, new and clean.
Then we found the aisle of aisles with the noodles…
So here’s something from Vietnam – some bean thread noodles! Chicken flavored…
Here’s another Namchow Mee-Jang variety, this time its artificial beef. So far, these have been pretty good.
Ladies and gentlemen, the enormous Ramen Box has been opened and we begin. This one comes from Korea.
So my old Indomie Meatball flavor box just didn’t cut it, so my beloved brought me a new one!
So yeah look at that insane assortment of noodles – it’s really quite insane. My lovely Kit was so kind as to give me the gift of oriental flava today! First we went to Sun Ya in Seattle – a Chinese restaurant that has dim sum for lunch. Then to Uwajimaya where I got a ton of noodles! The we checked out a place called Viet Wah – that was awesome and yes, more noodles. Then to Seafood City and yes…. MORE NOODLES! Finally after coming back and relaxing for a bit, we decided on homemade Korean BBQ for dinner. Got the stuff at 99 Ranch Market and yup – got another noodle cup! In all, there’s 65 unique varieties here that will be reviewed on Ramen Rater! So Enjoy!
So here’s a brand I’ve never tried before. Gomex is produced by Viet Hung Food, another brand I’ve never heard of before. So I suppose its time to strap on the old noodle bowl and try this stuff.
So here’s another of the big ole Little Cook bowls. I would like to say first that curried chicken is one of the favorite things of mine. Let’s see if it’s good.
The Ramen Rater would like to send its sympathies to all affected by the catastrophic 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan. So much of what goes on on The Ramen Rater is related to Japan and we hope that Japan bounces back swiftly and smoothly.
So some noodles from Thailand. I have no idea what to expect from this one… Let’s see what’s inside…
So here’s a big sucker – the name says it’s big. So let’s see if bigger is better with Nongshim Spicy Shrimp…
I like how the lid has the instructions in the little pull up tab!
So here’s some Korean cup noodles from Ottogi. Haven’t had any Ottogi stuff in a while so this should be nice.
So here’s some Unif Shrimp Fish… What’s funny is that I have had the Super Bowl’s lately and they looked exactly the same as this, but this one doesn’t say Super Bowl on it so go figure.
So this looks really interesting. Upon tearing off the outer cellophane, i notice that where it says NEW TVP SPICY BEEF FLAVOR is actually a sticker. In fact, on the sides there were stickers as well – ingredients, nutrition facts and direction on preparation.
So what a shocker – we were strolling down the aisle of a big box grocery store and saw this sitting there. I like how they incorporated the Mexican flag into the packaging too! While trying to find a commercial for the last review (#319: Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup) I found a TON of homemade videos for Maruchan Instant Lunch as well as official ones. It was insanity! test
So my son is over today and he loves noodles too, so I get a bite of his and get to review it while he gets to eat it. It’s a fair deal I think! So here’s Maruchan Oriental – and yeah; it is a surprise that I haven’t reviewed it isn’t it?
So this is the third and final Super Bow. I do have a couple more of the Unif brand ones I think so those will be next! Anyways, here we go with Artificial Pickled Chilli Beef flavor!
Jeez these things are big enough… I wasn’t able to finish the last one! So here e go with some stewed pork chop! Interesting – don’t those meat cuts on the label look like ribs? I’m just sayin’…
So here’s a big sucka. Got about ten different ones to try here. This should be interesting stuff. First off, spicy beef!
Yesterday we went to HT Oaktree market. Got a ton of new noodles to review! Gaze upon the massiveness!
The last of the Paldo Dosiracs. Mushroom eh? Here ya go…
Veg on top, powder on bottom.
Next to last one of these. Shrimp flavor sounds pleasurable – I shall eat it!
Veg on top, soup base powder below.
The last of the Lucky Me!’s I have in my noodle box. Bone marrow? Bring it with the beefiness!
Okay so my theory here is that if it says it’s tasty, there’s an extremely good chance it isn’t. I’ve never been a mushroom fan but I’ve been coming around lately. This however looked gross to me and has been sitting at the bottom of my noodle box for a while. Today I decided no longer will I fear these noodles. No longer will I cower under my afghan. Bring it noodles – let’s see how ya are.
So some new Lucky Me! stuff here… More beef! Bring on the beef!
From left to right: a packet of soup base, a packet with seasoned oil on top and some crunchy greasy stuff below and a packet of weird rehydratable chewy thingies.
So here’s another Dosirac, this time beef. More of the same?
Same as before on packets – a veggie and a powder.
Here’s something new – was blown away that I hadn’t noticed it before. This is kosher ramen! It’s made in Canada for a company in Los Angeles called Tradition…
A cup noodle from Thailand that isn’t MAMA brand? Well, let’s give it a try. This company is better known for rice products.
Hey – The Ramen Rater got in the news! Thanks go out to myEdmondsNews.com! Check it out here!
So I have been waiting to have the last Rhee Bros Assi Brand pack – some really good stuff in the past. I am curious how anchovy will be!
So I’ve reviewed another Supreme with the free crackers before. This time it’s special beef flavor! The tops are all the same on this line it appears…
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 some Dosirac. I wonder what it means? Funny name! Perhaps it means Great Taste!
Well, I’d sworn I’d had this before but nope! That was the Nongshim stuff. Curious if this stuff is as good…
So three hundred reviews behind this and onward we go! So here’s a brand I’ve never seen before. A lot of funny stuff on this package – shrimp flavor, bad English… But proof is in the eating right?
So today I reviewed the 300th unique ramen / instant noodle pack of this weird and fun hobby of mine. There’s been a lot of different things I’ve found enjoyable about this hobby: learning about different cultures, talking with people from around the world, and, most importantly, getting to eat some cheap and sometimes extremely good food.
Okay and here we go with review #300! It’s really getting hard to find ones I haven’t sampled and reviewed yet so if anyone would like to send me some that would be really much appreciated! So here’s #300, spinach onion time!
So here’s the third Sotanghon flavored instant noodles I’ve tried – the others weren’t really my thing. Hopefully I like this one a bit!
