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.

#298: Nongshim Hearty Rice Noodle Soup Spicy Veggie Consommé
So here’s something a little different! Healthy and consomme usually aren’t words I see one packages of instant noodles!
#297: Rhee Bros Assi Brand Wellbeing Hot & Spicy Rice Noodle With Kimchi Flavored Soup
So here’s another Rhee Bros. Assi Brand Wellbeing noodle pack comin’ atcha.
I really like how these noodles look – very neat and tidy, as is the flavor packet.
#294: Paldo Korean Noodle Seafood Flavor
#291: Nongshim Gourmet Spicy Shin Bowl Noodle Soup
Shin Bowl. So this should be exactly like Shin Ramyun but in a bowl, right? I’m going to figure it isn’t because the noodles usually seem different with bowl noodles.
#290: Doll Instant Noodle Spicy Artificial Beef Flavour
So recently I reviewed the pickled vegetable and the chicken Doll noodles and they were excellent. Spicy beef is hopefully as good.
Re-Review: Nongshim Neoguri Udon Type Noodles Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup
So here’s a classic – Nongshim’s Neoguri. I haven’t had this in a few years so I suppose I’d better have some!
#283: Paldo King Cup Kimchi Pot Stew Instant Noodle
So a big hurking bowl noodle. The only time I’ve ever seen anything this size before when not a fresh udon bowl was the Nissin Souper Meals. Its 2152mg of sodium and should pack a wallop!
#281: MAMA Oriental Kitchen Instant Cup Noodles Hot & Spicy Flavour
So here’s another of MAMA’s Oriental Kitchen line. I have a feeling this is going to live up to its name.
#276: Wai Wai Chilli Paste Tom Yum Flavour Instant Noodles
So here’s the second one of these Wai Wai packsI got recently. Says it’s very hot!
#273: Wai Wai Minced Pork Tom Yum Flavor
So here’s some Wai Wai noodles. Let’s see how they are! One thing I should mention first is that it’s a little smaller than most packages of noodles and only calls for 300cc of water.
#271: Paldo Korean Noodle Kimchi Flavor
So this looks good – I’ve been fortunate enough to try some really good Kimchi at the Korean BBQ places I’ve been in the last few months so this caught my eye.
#269: Paldo Spicy Shrimp Bowl Instant Noodle Soup
Hey it looks like the lady from the Dosirac pack! She looks kind of like a nurse. Well, let’s cook it up.
#267: MAMA Cup Pork Flavour
A little taller than most of the cup noodles I’ve seen, here we have MAMA Pork Flavour…
#263: Nissin Chow Mein Kung Pao Chicken Flavor
So here’s a new one. Let’s see how we fare…
Instructions under the plastic labeling…
#262: Vina Acecook Daily Instant Noodles Mì Bò Viên Beef Ball Flavour
Beef balls. Well, I really don’t think they mean rocky mountain oysters here. I think its soy protein.
#260: Nissin Bowl Noodles Hot & Spicy With Shrimp
Some hot & spicy up in here!
Clockwise from top left: powder soup base, veggies and shrimp, ‘soup booster.
#255: MAMA Oriental Kitchen Spicy Seafood Cup
So here’s something new – MAMA’s Oriental Kitchen… Let’s try…
#254: Vina Acecook Daily Instant Noodle Hot & Spicy Tom Yum
So on our very recent trip to a new Asian grocery, we found a lot of products by Vina Acecook. So there will be a few reviews by them coming at you fast and furious! First off, some Tom Yum! One thing real quick though – notice on the top of the package label where it says ‘Made With Japanese Technology?’ Didn’t find really anything about the Japanese technology anywhere but did find this sitting in a lonely corner of the web:
#253: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Seafood Flavor
At long last! Yesterday we found the elusive Nongshim Spicy Seafood Bowl Noodle Soup!!! Very awesome! There’s a review of the place we found it at under the Where to Get It tab up top – check out HT Oaktree Market! Now check out this review of Nongshim Spicy Seafood Bowl Noodle!
#249: Unif-100 Artificial Spicy Beef Flavor Instant Noodles
Swore I’d reviewed this before. Well, here’s one from Unif.
From left going clockwise, veggies, powder soup base and oily thick stuff.
#246: MAMA Artificial Pork Flavour Jumbo Pack Oriental Style Instant Noodles
So thought I’d give it a whirl. This is one of the few I haven’t tried left at 99 Ranch Market! I see a problem coming on and I don’t like it!
#243: Myojo Udon Hot & Spicy Flavor Japanese Style Noodles With Soup Base
So time for new noodles! Here’s some!
One packet of seasoning as per usual with Myojo’s fresh udon packs…
#237: Tat Hui Koka Instant Rice Noodles Spicy Seafood Marinara
More Koka! So spicy seafood marinara time!
I like how the little scrawl at the base of the garnishes pack implies that the garnishes may be different from time to time. Mysterious…
#236: Tat Hui Koka Instant Non-Fried Noodles Spicy Sesame Flavor
Sesame’s good, spicy is good. Let’s see if this stuff that was uber cheap – $1.49 for 4 packages – is worth its weight.
#219: Six Fortune Tom Yam Instant Soup Noodle (Thai Style Sour and Chili Flavor)
Tom Yam time? Let’s do it.
Who knows how old this pack of noodles is – was got from a seedy little asian grocery on Aurora. The liquid packet was pretty much solid.
#213: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Artificial Lobster Flavor
So found the sixth of seven varieties of Bowl Noodle! Kit you rock!!! She saw it at Uwajimaya in Bellevue and boom – here we go!!!
#203: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Hot & Spicy Flavor
So going to have another one of these today. This looks like the most basic one.
Again, only one packet.
#200: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Chicken Flavor
So this is the 200th instant noodle I’ve reviewed! So bright eyed and vaguely bushy tailed at 6:30am, here we go! I’d like to first thank Kit for picking #199 and #200 for my reviews and also for cruising us around and going to all of these Asian groceries around here. If you like the Ramen Rater, go see her Asian and otherwise snack reviews site at http://www.supertastysnacks.com – she just started it last week and she’s got her first few reviews up! Looking good!
#197: Rhee Bros Assi Brand Rice Noodle w/Hot & Spicy Flavored Soup
Rhee Bros? Assi? Hmm here’s what I found
The word ASSI comes from the traditional Korean title for a young married woman. ASSI brand symbolizes the Korean gril’s wedding costume, and was first introduced in 1976 and has grown into as our flagship brand. ASSI has been recognized as the standard for Korean food products.
#190: Maggi Tom Yam Flavour Instant Noodles
So haven’t had any Tom Yum or Yam for that matter in quite a while. Nor have I had anything by Maggi in a while either. This stuff is from Malaysia! This is a first for me – noodles from Malaysia!!!
#187: Paldo Hwa Ramyun Hot & Spicy With Soy Peptide Oriental Style Noodle With Soup Base
So I thought after yesterday’s meeting with the super spicy noodles, I thought I’d see if two days in a row of pain would work out pretty well. So Here’s some hot & spicy with soy peptide! Yum!
#186: Paldo Teumsae Instant Noodles With Soup
Warning – IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE HOT AND SPICY FLAVORS, STAY AWAY!!!
So first off, help with translation here would be great. I think the words on the front of the package have a bit more going on than Paldo Teumsae. Teumsae seems to be another company.
#179: MAMA Kimchi Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles
Some Kimchi flavor from Thailand! Should be interesting. I’m going to doctor it up today with quite a few ingredients. One thing kind of interesting is that there is currently a cabbage shortage in Korea, where Kimchi is so widely consumed. Here is an article about it – thanks for the info Kit!
#175: Samyang Spicy Radish Flavor Cold Ramen with Ponytail Radish Noodle Soup
So here’s the second that Kit selected for me to try today. I’ve been honestly avoiding this one for quite a while but I left her to decide my noodle sampling fate again today so here we go!
#172: MAMA Oriental Style Instant Flat Noodles (Tom Yam)
So I asked Kit to pick out two packs of noodles for me to try next. Here’s the first one. I’m curious whether it’ll be any good; the MAMA brand has reviews on here from 1 to 4 stars so we’ll just have to see. By the way, on the back in two places it says tom yum instead of tom yam like it does on the front. I’m going to go with tom yum being correct and the yam being a typo.
#159: MAMA Hot & Spicy Flavor Oriental Style Instant Noodles
Some hot stuff from MAMA here today. We’ll see if it’s really hot and spicy…
#150: Chorip Dong Jjampong Hot & Spicy Seafood Udon Japanese Style Noodle Soup
Wow okay so for the 150th review here on ramenrater.com I thought I’d go for something really different. This is a big ass bowl noodle with fresh noodles! Should be interesting!
#144: Nongshim Noodle Soup Kimchi Ramyun
So some Korean kimchi flavored ramen. Looks good to me, especially since we’ve been trying out Korean BBQ lately – so let’s go!
Re-Review: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Jin Ramen ( Hot )
So thought it would be nice to spice it up a bit and modify some Korean noodles for breakfast. So I picked the basis to be the Ottogi Jin Ramen.
