It’s been a heck of a long time since I had one of these – over three years! Shin Ramyun is Nongshim’s most well known product – let’s see how it goes now, after trying over 600 varieties since I last tried it!
Here’s the back of the packaging (click image to enlarge.
Here’s the noodle block.
Here’s what makes Shin Ramyun spicy: the seasoning packet!
A lot of powdered seasoning. Had a little taste – yep – spicy!
Here’s the veggie packet.
Here’s a nice little cup of veggies.
Finished (click image to enlarge). I added some beef lunch meat, some onions, a veggie mix of snap peas, green bell pepper, Fresno peppers, water chestnut and broccoli, a slice of cheese, a shake of Ajishima Kimchi Furikake, and a little Tabasco Buffalo Style hot sauce. First, the noodles: they’re good – they soak up the flavor of the broth nicely and have a nice consistency. Not too firm, not too thin. Very good. The broth: tasty and spicy. I will say I don’t think it’s as hot as the Jinjja Jinjja, but it’s got quite a nice kick to it. The veggies weren’t bad, but more would have been nice. Basing my rating on just the noodles and broth, I give them 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. If I were to rate with everything I added, it would definitely be higher. Good bowl of noodles!

You’ve rated it 4 above, but in the Big List, the Re-Review score is 2.
Actually the number under re-reviews isn’t a rating but an indicator of how many re-reviews have been done. I should wipe that column since I don’t even update it anymore.

My first adventure with these was interesting ^^; I am not a huge fan of spicy food, but I wanted to try this. I did not add the whole seasoning packet(yes I know that annoys you) but I didnt want to burn my head off. It was mostly just spicy, it seemed to lack other flavor, so I was a bit dissapointed. I may try it again( I have a 5 pack) and see if it changes my mind, but it may just be too spicy for me.
Shin Ramyun has more flavour than spice. I don’t really find it spicy, even when adding the whole pack.
Have they changed the recipe at all in the US version? Or is it identical to the original, just manufactured locally?
That’s my fav ramen right there. Agree with you though that it could use a bit more veggies. Otherwise it makes a great base to make a custom bowl.
