Stars: *** 1/2
Notes: Just polished it off a minute ago.  Not extremely complicated but a very satisfying bowl.
            Upon opening the packaging, the consumer is greeted by two small but very clear pouches
            of which one contains a mix of chili oil/seasoning oil, and the other a base with
            dehydrated meat ad vegetables.  After leaving it to steep with some boiling water, the
            end product is a bowl full of bright red broth and some really greasy noodles.  Wasn't a
            really hot bowl; on the contrary, it was very citrussy flavored.  But very very greasy. I
            aan't begin to describe how greasy it is!  A worthy bowl of noodles on it's own.

Notes:  This is where ramen noodles all began.  In fact, this is what
really got me into noodles.  A long long time ago, I was able to get
Nissin brand 'Roasted Ramen' noodles at the normal supermarket.
For ages I tried to find it again, but finally found it at the local
oriental grocery.  This stuff is awesome - it's got the seasoning in the
noodles.  You can also eat this stuff uncooked - like potato chips,
or sprinkle it on salad etc.  This is a score - try it!

Stars: ****
Notes: Oh sweet elixir of life that brings exquisitely painful heartburn, curry be thy name.  This stuff was excellent - very good curry flavor!  The 'demae' variety is what we call Top Ramen in the United States.  The character depicted on this pack is called 'Ching Chai,' and there's a big following for this little guy in Japan.

Stars: ***.5
Notes:  A very decent box noodle - lots of the squirty
mayo/mustard goop and the noodles tasteds very much like
Sapporo's chow mein style.  Worth a try for sure.

Stars: **
This wasn't too bad at all, just not much really
special about it.  As far as spiciness, nothing to sweat.

Stars: **** 1/2
Notes:  As I have said before, dropped the ball here.  If you're looking for something
             authentic, this isn't it.  One thing though - this is the company that originated
             ramen!  This flavor caught my eye today as I feel under the weather and was
             hungry.  I threw a good tablespoon or two of minced onion [dehydrated] in it
             and was pleasantly surprised.  If I had another package of it, I would be hard
             not to eat it right this instant.

This stuff was very odd - I enjoy odd things,
so that's why the 3 stars.  It was like an udon
style noodle first off, and came weith a
seasoning packet that was enormous.  I ended
up haviong jalapeno bread with it because it comes
out more like a hot flavor spaghetti than anything.

Stars: **
Notes:  First off, this was a pretty big package; more like very big.  There was
             a pack of dehydrated fish as well - octopus, cuttlefish, seaweed etc.
             Also, the noodles were Udon style [extra thick].  After I made it, I
             realized that the broth was quite dark and deep red.  The octopus was
             black too - and after the noodles, drinking the last bit of broth was
             what I imagine a ton of fish blood and salt would be like.

This stuff is salty and weird.  The noodles are nasty, but
the broth is very potable and potent.  Becomes a
darkish red rust color and is strangely thick with buts
of octopus etc in it.

Stars: ***
Much better than the Neoguri but much the same.
This stuff's pretty spicy and salty, and the noodles
are a bit better than neoguri.  Like Neoguri, they
are udon style and the noodles are in a condensed
round shape out of the package, easily dropped into
a small round pot.

Stars: ** 1/2
Notes:  This is an odd one.  I have tried quite a few Filipino ramens, but I would have
              to say Quickchow is probably the best.  This is a rather dry rice noodle ramen.  The flavor
              is interesting.  Only way I know how to describe it.

Notes:  A very good package of noodles.  This one took quite a bit of looking around to find out
             what brand/type it is.  So the noodles are very much like Indomie's special - but they
             are VERY wide - wide as egg noodles!  Was a great bowl of soup with the
             only exception being that it had some dehydrated mushrooms in it that were
             extremely foul.

Stars: *** 1/2
Notes:  A pretty big, pretty good bowl of noodles.  Make sure to cook it for extra long as it's not
             good stuff, just not the best quality noodle.  Dropped a couple eggs into it while cooking -
             came out awesome.  2 packets of seasoning, one vegetables and dehydrated meat, one
             just soup base.

Stars: * 1/2
Notes:  Receiving the one and a half stars primarily because of its' bold daring name,
             'Smack' is still even in this form not my drug of choice.  An American Union
             Made noodle through and through.  Says it only takes three minutes, but the
             noodles were dense and very spiteful.  The flavor was a standard, unoriginal
             vegetable beef which you'd find in a can of soup.  Would only recommend this
             brand to those who would just use the noodle for frying with eggs, and still I don't
             Think eggs require that much punishment.

Stars: ** 1/2
Notes:  This stuff wasn't bad - basically a typical salty rice noodle snack ramen from Vietnam.  It would not
             do well with an egg though, as the noodles weren't the most strong and a lot of them turned to an
             almost gelatinous state - not from overcooking I assure you.  Other than the weak fortitude of the
             noodles, the broth was fine as were the dried vegetables.

Stars: *
Notes:  One star.  It reminds me way too much of their other ramen, called 'Sour Soup.'  This is
              pure gut-wrenching heartburn ladies and gentlemen!  Make sure you have some Tums and a bed
              available for the next day or so.

Stars: **
Notes:  Some pretty damn hot noodles!  On the back they have put this style's motto: 'Softer Noodles,
             Quicker To Be Served.'  It was true, these cooked up quickly, but they were insidiously hot, and
             this annoyed me.  Also, not even a hint of shrimp flavor.

Stars: 1/2
Notes:  This stuff ranks very low on my chart of good ramen.  It's marketd obviously to the
              'health conscious' ramenphile, however, it's $3.00 a pack price and paltry, weak wheat
              noodles lacked character, as did it's bland tasteless broth.  I was very, very, very
      b      DISAPPOINTED.
