So if you follow my reviews you’d notice that Nongshim makes what looks to be almost the exactly same thing. Weird. But I suppose competition even in the world of instant noodles is fierce. So many varieties of noodles – one must stand out!

#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!!!
#206: Bon Go Jang Deuchi Udon Fresh Japanese Style Udon
Some more fresh noodles! Kit picked this one for me to try today. Really excited to see how this is!
#204: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Shrimp Flavor
So here’s the last Bowl Noodle I have on hand, Spicy Shrimp Flavor. I’m hunting for the Seafood and the Lobster flavors currently. I think that’s all of them…
#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.
#202: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Cabbage Kimchi Flavor
So here’s the third of these Bowl Noodles I’ve tried, Cabbage Kimchi. Some not so keen on Kimchi might not know that its not only made of cabbage but other vegetables too, such as radish. Anyways, Let’s get started.
#201: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Beef & Ginger Flavor
Beef & Ginger? Sounds really good! Surprising that I haven’t stumbled upon more packs of instant noodles that have ginger as a main ingredient – it’s so tasty and all…
#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!
#199: Samyang Chinese Soybean Paste Ramen Stir Noodle Noodle Soup Olive Oil Add
Wow – you know, sometimes it just so happens a package of ramen just has to many words on it. This is one of those occasions. I mean, look at that title up there. I like how you drain the liquid, but it says noodle soup – and you don’t add olive oil, it’s already in the liquid packet…
#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.
#192: Paldo Soy Flavor Noodle Jang Ramyun
So this looks like a regular boring pack of noodles. Soy flavor – nothing special here right?
#188: Nongshim Udon Japanese Style Noodle Soup
Seen this around for a long time but have never tried it.Always looked kinda plain and boring.
#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.
#176: Paldo Dosirac Artificial Pork Flavor Instant Noodle
So I have seen these all over the place but don’t think I’ve ever tried it. I’ve seen red background ones with a lady that looks like a nurse. Anyways, Kit picked this one out of my ‘vault’ to try today.
#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!
#171: Samyang Japanese Seafood Flavor Udon
So here we go with some Udon for breakfast. I’m going to really modify this one.
Powder and flake.
#169: Samyang Seafood Party Seafood Flavor Noodle Soup
Okay so its a Seafood Party! Who will we invite? Perhaps eel, piranha and manta ray?
Nope – cuttlefish, anchovy powder, artificial pork flavoring and shrimp extract – party up!!!
#168: JFC Japanese Style Noodle Fresh Udon
Huge noodle bowl! Fresh noodles!
Okay so this is the second one of these I’ve ever had! They are a bit spendier than the regular ones – usually they’re between $2 and $4…
#161: Paldo Green Tea Chlorella Noodles
Green tea noodles? Cool – something unique right? Hmmm… When I opened the package I was greeted with the odor of green tea. Yup – the noodles are infused with green tea powder and the odor is very strong.
#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!
#141: Six Fortune Seafood Flavor Instant Noodles
Got this package at a very weird little asian grocery. Very weird. The place was dirty, in extreme disarray and after we left we saw a cop pop in. Most of the signs were in sharpie on cardboard and on the way in instead of a mat or carpet, cardboard was used. Very ghetto. But I haven’t seen this stuff elsewhere so hooray!
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.
#134: Global Inspiration Gyeong Gi-Do Rice
Thought it was a bowl something – didn’t expect it would be a bowl of not noodle!
#129: Nongshim Mupama Tang Myun Noodle Soup
Neat looking stuff with a funny name… Looked it up online and it mentioned beef and radishes… Hmm…
#121: Ottogi Bekse Curry Myon
So the new place I found, Boo Han Oriental Market, is really making me happy already. Looky here, looky here – curry ramen!
#120: Samyang Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Beef. Not usually really an ‘out there’ or ‘exotic’ flavor. Seems like most Korean noodles are more along the lines of spicy or seafood. So I guess we’ll see how this one stacks up.
#118: Paldo Bibim Men Oriental Style Noodle
So sometimes I’m looking for some new ramen and see it but it only seems to come in a 5 pack. Nowhere else in the noodle aisle do they have it… That’s really annoying! This was one such variety but I finally found it at a new Asian market I found today out of nowhere across from 99 Ranch Market in Edmonds. Anyways, here’s Paldo brand Bibim Men Oriental Style Noodle
#536: Ottogi Yeul Ramyon Hot Taste
Look at those big deadly looking red peppers! This should be interesting. Usually stuff you’d find around here domestically would be on the weak side if it had a pepper being shown. We’ll have to see if this stuff lives up to the flavor of hot taste! I’m also very curious if I like this better than Shin Ramyun. I’ve really been enjoying the Ottogi products…
#533: Paldo Gomtang Oriental Style Noodles With Soup Base
Gomtang huh? Sounds like a Star Trek alien creature that’s been traveling possibly hundreds of thousands of years across space to find it’s final resting place in the vicinity of a star about to go nova. But I don’t think that’s what they’re going for here.
#117: Ottogi Ramyonsari
So look what we have here – plain ramen noodles! Yup – that’s it. A brick of noodles with no spices.
#115: Ottogi Miso Ramyon Oriental Style Instant Noodle
Another package of Korean ramen. This looks interesting – Miso flavor…
This is a trip – both are powder packets. I usually see a powder and an oil but rarely two powders.
#114: Samyang Ramen Kimchi: Korean Kimchi Flavor Noodle Soup
Okay a little while ago I was asked as to why I hadn’t reviewed any Kim Chee flavored noodles… So here we go with some Samyang…
#113: Nongshim HooRooRook Premium Korean Noodle Soup
So I’ve been walking by this one for a couple months now debating when to get it. I got it the other day and now I’m going to try it out. Looks interesting – the name certainly is.
#112: Ottogi Jjajang Noodle Asian Style Instant Noodle
So look! More Korean noodles! Let’s see what we’ve got here! Certainly looks interesting but I have no idea what it is. Black bean paste is mentioned prominently in the ingredients, so perhaps that’s the flavor? Upon digging around a bit, I found this from Wikipedia:
#111: Ottogi Odongtong Myon Seafood Spicy Flavor Asian Style Instant Noodle
A lot of people have been commenting on my old reviews of Korean noodles. So After going to a couple big Korean supermarkets, I’m going to be trying a lot more Korean instant noodles. This one looks straightforward: spicy seafood.
#107: Ottogi Pow Crunch Teriyaki Flavor Original Noodle Snack
So we went to a new place today called H Mart – more on that later! So this is something weird from Korea I just has to try – however, it wasn’t really weird at all!
#88: Paldo Korean Noodle Chicken Flavor
So I think its kind of funny – the last ramen I rated was Wai Wai Tom Yum Shrimp – it used only 1 1/3c of water. This stuff used 2 3/4 cups – the most called for yet! This is Paldo Korean Noodle Chicken flavor. This’ll be my first review of a Paldo product.
#84: Samyang Kal Gug Su Assorted Clam Flavor Korean Style Non-Frying Noodles
So here’s something I’ve had in the cupboard for a while and been kind of waiting for just the right time to try. Assorted clams – hmm. An assortment of clams. It just sounds really strange. I guess we’ll see what we got here.
