#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. ...see full post

The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls Of All Time 2025 Edition

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! ...see full post

#5218: Prima Taste Singapore Laksa LaMian – Singapore

#5218: Prima Taste Singapore Laksa LaMian – Singapore

Well, this is the third of three varieties I’m reviewing from Prima Taste – This one’s the regular laksa – not wholegrain. It’s got a new size – smaller than the original. It’ll show up in the US at some point. I tried this back in 2013 and was floored with how good it was. From the noodle to the broth, it sings. Let’s cook! ...see full post

This tasty cup soba combines a traditional bonito shoyu broth with the umami of chicken and pork and an accent of chili oil for a slight spicy touch! It also contains GABA to help relieve stress!” ...see full post

#5210: Ayam Singaporean Laksa Noodles – Hong Kong

#5210: Ayam Singaporean Laksa Noodles - Hong Kong

Well, this is the last of the Ayam varieties – laksa. I’ve got a few laksa varieties I’m doing this week, some releasing in order, some getting out sooner than later. When I make laksa (if possible) there are a few things I really like to include when I garnish. You may have noticed my laksa of mung bean sprout recently – well, that’s a must. Fishball, tofu puff, and mint. That’s the quartet I like to have on hand. Of course, egg as well. This one’s showing shrimp as well, so I think I’ll include that in lieu of fish ball. Well, let’s cook some laksa! ...see full post

The Ramen Rater’s Bottom Ten Worst Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition

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. ...see full post

#5206: Nongshim Bae Hong Dong XXX-Picy Ramyun Noodles With Spicy Sauce – United States

#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! ...see full post

#5205: Norita Roasted Pork Miso Tonkotsu Ramen – United States

#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. ...see full post

#5204: NeoStar Ramen Delight Spicy Chicken Instant Noodle Bowl – United States

#5204: NeoStar Ramen Delight Spicy Chicken Instant Noodle Bowl - United States

Well, today I went looking for cheap toothpicks.  I went to Dollar Tree – which currently should be called Dollar Twenty-Five Tree, and then Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. They’re right next door to each other. I also like to look for instant noodles at these places as well. Today, I found no toothpicks, however I found three instant noodles and this is the first one I found. I’m going to do these three varieties over the next three reviews. Here we go. ...see full post

This ramen cup comes from Tenkaippin, a popular ramen chain from Kyoto! It features tasty noodles in a deliciously thick chicken shoyu broth with tons of flavor and hint of garlic. This mini-cup will leave an impression!” ...see full post

#5154: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab LaMian – Singapore

#5323: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab LaMian - Singapore

Here’s another of the new size/package Prima Taste LaMian series. This stuff is serious business. I’m hoping we don’t lose power as a massive storm rolls in. There’s been talk of the possibility of tornadoes! I live about an hour’s walk from the Seattle city limits, so that’s rather bizarre. Let’s cook this up as we get excited for a lots of thunderstorms to watch tonight. ...see full post

#5196: Ayam Malaysian Black Pepper Noodles – Hong Kong

#5196: Ayam Malaysian Black Pepper Noodles - Hong Kong

Well, I’m back. What do I mean by that? As I type this, it’s January 2nd. I was actually planning on reviewing it today, however the kids still aren’t back in school yet and at an age where they, well, to coin a phrase of my mother’s, have ‘diarrhea of the mouth.’ They’re noisy and won’t shush at all. The last review I did wasDecemberr 19th and this will get done January 6th. Quite a break for me. Well, let’s get it read then give it a try. ...see full post

Project Ramen’s 16 Pack Ramen Mystery Box – Demystified

Recently, I met the folks at Project Ramen and they’re pretty great. They’ve got a lot of different boxes and they sent the big one – 16 packs, 8 varieties. Some of them I’ve not reviewed. There’s definitely something for everyone and then some – and they’re from around the world, not just one country. Let’s take a look – and if you want to get one, use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount! ...see full post

#5192: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Mala Flavour - Singapore

This is the last of the multipacks – I’m really making progress through all these Nissin Singapore products! Soon, the monster box will be gone and I’ll have room. Not to say I don’t like what’s in the box as I very much do. I’m curious about this one – it’s salted egg again, but instead of pepper spicy, I’m guessing it’s Sichuan peppercorn spicy. Let’s see if it works! ...see full post

#5190: Nissin x Pepper Lunch Beef Cheese Curry Flavour – Singapore

#5190: Nissin x Pepper Lunch Beef Cheese Curry Flavour - Singapore

The saga of the huge box from Singapore continues! Until I saw these, I’d never heard of Pepper Lunch, which is a restaurant chain. But indeed, there are locations here as well as in Singapore and probably elsewhere as well. Let’s try this cheese curry – high hopes as I love curry. I’m eating curry for dinner – I make it all the time. ...see full post

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 – “We’re keeping it hot with this next choice! Nissin created a tasty cup of spicy ramen with plenty of hot chili. But don’t worry—it’s not just spicy! It combines shoyu with miso, garlic and kimchi vinegar to create a flavor profile with tons of depth for an addictive taste!” ...see full post

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 – “Oni means ogre or demon, but the only thing monstrous about this udon bowl is how delicious it is! Combining katsuo (bonito) and tasty tsuyu (a sauce noodle base) with udon noodles and a yummy fried shrimp and veggie disc topping, this bowl is devilishly delicious! ...see full post

#5187: Nissin Jumbo Seafood Chilli Crab Flavour – Singapore

#5187: Nissin Jumbo Seafood Chilli Crab Flavour - Singapore

You might have noticed a different background on the pics lately. So there’s a company that does flooring called Flooret and they had a thing in facebook offering to send free samples. Well, I got some and  that’s what these are. I’m going to get a big piece and get it cut which is darker than this one I’ve been using. It’s pretty neat stuff and I’m pretty stoked. Let’s continue on though – this is a chilli crab pack from Singapore – one of the signature dishes of the country. Let’s give it a try! ...see full post
