I thought this looked interesting. I don’t usually see any kind of ‘mild’ flavors coming out of Korea, but here you see one. Here we go!

#394: Paldo Hwa Cup Noodle Soup Hot & Spicy Flavor
So today is the day of the supposed rapture, predicted by a fellow in Oakland, CA. He’s disappeared but The Ramen Rater hasn’t! So let’s check out these noodles from Korea!
#380: Assi Brand Pho Vietnamese Noodle Soup
So here’s some interesting stuff. It doesn’t say its any particular flavor other than ‘pho.’ Not beef or veggies or chicken. I’m going to guess beef. The picture looks kinda beefy.
#369: Bon Go Jang Tofu Udon Dosirak
So this one took a little work – all I knew was it was from Korea. Wasn’t sure of anything much other than that and the brand name. Luckily, those two things brought it all together. I found that this stuff is called Tofu Udon Dosirak and comes from Hanil Food Co. Ltd. in Seoul, Korea under its Bon Go Jang line of products. ‘Dosirak’ translates like ‘Bento’ or ‘Take Out Lunch.’ On their website it describes this as “fresh katsuo bushi soup with tofu udon that you can eat simply by adding hot water.”
#355: Nongshim Noodle Lite 275 Lite Udon Flavor With Mushroom & Agar Jelly
So here’s something interesting. This is for the health conscious noodle fan – from Korea, we have Nongshim’s Noodle Lite 275.
#349: Ottogi Ramen Bokki
So I asked my lady Vietnamese, Korean or Filipino noodles today? She said Korean. So I picked this one to try. It’s quite unique as it’s the first round big bowls I’ve ever seen with a drain spout. Let’s begin.
#348: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Kimchi Flavor
So here’s another one of these by Paldo. It shall be today’s breakfast/lunch.
One solitary packet of love.
#346: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Artificial Chicken Flavor
So I’ve reviewed a lot of bowl noodles. I’m confused as to how Paldo, Samyang and Nongshim all have them and they’re all called bowl noodle. Spicy chicken is pretty common – let’s see how this is.
#344: Paldo Stirfried Kimchi Noodles
So haven’t seen this one before so I snagged it today. Its a little hefty actually and seemed much bigger than most packages…
#342: Nongshim Shin Big Bowl Gourmet Spicy Noodle Soup
So here we go – an even larger container of Nong Shim Shin Ramyun!
Styrofoam! Ready for battle!!!
#336: Six Fortune Instant Noodles With Soup
Here’s a Six Fortune – I think this is their flagship or ‘original’ flavor. Anyways, hope its good!
#332: Nongshim Champong Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup (Cup)
So it’s time for some spiciness! Champong! Bring it!
Was a little surprised to see this one has over 2200mg sodium! It’s just a cup for cryin’ out loud!
#328: Nongshim Big Bowl Udon Japanese Style Noodle Soup
Ladies and gentlemen, the enormous Ramen Box has been opened and we begin. This one comes from Korea.
#324: Nongshim BIG Bowl Spicy Noodle Soup With Shrimp Flavor
So here’s a big sucker – the name says it’s big. So let’s see if bigger is better with Nongshim Spicy Shrimp…
#323: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Hot) Asian Taste Instant Noodle Cup
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.
#314: Paldo Dosirac Mushroom Flavor Instant Noodle
The last of the Paldo Dosiracs. Mushroom eh? Here ya go…
Veg on top, powder on bottom.
#313: Paldo Dosirac Shrimp Flavor Instant Noodle
Next to last one of these. Shrimp flavor sounds pleasurable – I shall eat it!
Veg on top, soup base powder below.
#309: Paldo Dosirac Beef Flavor Instant Noodle
So here’s another Dosirac, this time beef. More of the same?
Same as before on packets – a veggie and a powder.
#306: Rhee Bros Assi Brand Wellbeing Rice Noodle With Anchovy Flavored Soup
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!
#303: Paldo Dosirac Artificial Chicken Flavor Instant Noodle
So here’s some Dosirac. I wonder what it means? Funny name! Perhaps it means Great Taste!
#302: Samyang Bowl Noodle Soup Yukgaejang Ramen Picante Beef Flavor
Well, I’d sworn I’d had this before but nope! That was the Nongshim stuff. Curious if this stuff is as good…
#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
#292: Paldo Korean Noodle U-Dong Flavor Noodles
Some more of these Paldo noodles. Let’s see how they taste and especially what I’m curious about – if these are thicker noodles.
#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.
#289: Paldo Korean Noodle Broad Noodles
So I’ve got a few packs of these Paldo noodles to do. They are pretty ho-hum looking, although this one looks quite interesting. Broad noodles tend to be very good, so we’ll see how they are.
#287: Paldo King Cup Noodle Lobster Taste
The King of Cups! It’s big! It’s lobster! It’s today on The Ramen Rater!
Dehydrated veg on the left, powder on the right.
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!
#280: Rhee Bros Assi Brand Wellbeing Rice Noodle with Katsuo Flavored Soup
Well well well… More of the Assi Brand boxes. Wellbeing. We shall see!
Wow! Uber packet! My curiosity is piqued!
#279: Rhee Bros Assi Brand Rice Noodles w/ Seafood Flavor Soup
Alrighty! Some Rhee Bros Assi Brand action going on here – let’s have a look….
#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.
Re-Review: Samyang Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So I think I reviewed this in maybe 2003, so it’s been a long time and I thought it might be time for another take on it. From the sheer amount of commercials I’ve come across on YouTube for this stuff, I think that this is Samyang’s premiere product in Korea; although I could be totally wrong…
#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.
#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!
#245: Six Fortune Instant Broad Noodles With Soup Base
Six Fortune stuff is usually pretty good but I haven’t seen a lot of it around. So let’s give it a try!
#239: Ottogi Ppushu Ppushu Sweet & Sour Flavor Instant Snack
My lovely lady Kit over at www.supertastysnacks.com reviewed this one last night and I thought I should review it too as all it is really is a snack but it is uncooked ramen. So let’s give it a try!
#225: Ottogi Snack Ramyon
Snack ramen eh? Well let’s see what this one is like. I think it’s ‘snack’ as it only takes the 2 minutes instead of three and has only one seasoning packet. Here we go.
#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.
