Another awesome donation from James of Lakeside, California! I recently sampled the Tom Kha from this range and it was excellent. Let’s give this one a try!

#5417: Ramen-Aid Electrolyte Soup Supplement + Immune Support – United States
Okay I’m really fascinated by this. Ramen-Aid is a ramen supplement, containing vitamins and minerals. There’s this version and an energy version – with caffeine! I’m thinking the best way to review this will be to add it to a standard instant and see if it modifies the flavor. I don’t think it will.
#5415: Samyang Cream Carbonara Buldak Spicy Ramen – United States
Just over 2 years ago, I reviewed the local Korean version of this one. Found this at HMart which was a bit of a shock; their single pack selection has been abyssmal recently… I wish we had the RT Mart that was in Taiwan I got to visit – holy crap that place had the mother of all noodle aisles – singles and multipacks of everything – both sides, long as a Costco aisle – no joke. Anyways, enough thinking about that – let’s give it a try.
#5414: Good Seoul Rapokki Cheese – South Korea
So first, I did a pack like this of original topokki. Next, a carbonara cup. This is rapokki – a combo of noodle and rice cake. It’s usually a really great melding of textures. This should be awesome – let’s give it a try.
#5411: Good Seoul Carbonara Topokki – South Korea
Now this one sounds good. In the last post, I complained about all the creamy and spicy varieties out there, but this is tteokbokki and it’s hard for me to get cranky about tteokbokki. Let’s hit the start button on the microwave!
#5409: Otoki Jin Ramen Mild – United States
I’m slowly finding more of the cup, bowl, and pack versions of Jin Ramen lately – tried both of the bowls, trying this pack, and got two of the cups, so just need to find the spicy pack. Honestly. I think these are among the best of Korean ramyun. The noodles have been great, flavors as well. Let’s give it a go!
#5408: Good Seoul Topokki Original – South Korea
This is the first of a lot of tteokbokki varieties I’ll be reviewing from Good Seoul. This product is made in South Korea and at this point distributed in the GCC and soon Europe. That’s great – everyone need tteokbokki in their life I swear! This came out of a big box of varieties they sent from Dubai! Let’s give it a try!
#5407: Nongshim Premium Yukgaejang Spicy Beef Ramyun Noodle Soup – United States
Another find at GMart in Lynnwood, WA. Out of Rancho Cucamonga comes an old standard in the Korean ramyun world. I believe the classic bowl noodle hot they made was a yukgaejang but this one seems more premium at the outset. Sounds good – let’s cook it up!
#5406: Sapporo Ichiban Chow Mein – United States
Update 12/26/2025 – Now that Christmas is over, back to the standard daily posts. This was done July 7th, 2025, so that should tell you how far ahead I’ve been. I’m going to attempt to let things catch up a wee bit and work on top ten lists for you in the interim, so you should be seeing one sometime soon – I’ll come out with a post regarding them as usual before the day they post. Some regular annual lists haven’t come out as firstly, I’ve not been able to source enough varieties for a logical update and secondly, the top tens are a lot of work and honestly not always that much fun to work on – a lot of video editing and keeping from reviewing. So, since I’m nearly six months ahead, I’ll be working on them in a more mellow way instead of trying to last minute slam them out. Hope all that enjoy holidays enjoyed the previous and upcoming ones and those that don’t avoided the ridiculousness they can entail. For now, that is all. I should note my ten year old son Miles is really amped about trying Buldak. He is a very picky eater though; he won’t eat anything hot temperature wise and he doesn’t like certain textures. I can let it cool down, but I’m curious to see if he is up to the texture of it. So we shall see. I might release that for NYE. Anyways, we continue and thank you so much for your continued support of what I do!
Advent Calendar Day 24: #5591: Nissin Soba Big Yakitori Chicken – Germany
Well, here we are. It’s Christmas Eve! This has been a big shift in how I do things – 24 reviews, one per day for 24 days. Didn’t know what I was reviewing until I opened the package each morning. Usually I have lead time, but not this time. I got up, did a video of opening the door, then shooting package photos, editing, then doing what I’m doing right now – editing the post. Next will be cooking it up, then shooting more pictures, editing them, then editing the video and scheduling, posting and boom – all done. Usually, I break it over two days – edit images the day before, cook the next day and then do images for the next day after that. I guess we will see how I do it going forward. What’s certain is I’m so far ahead – like six months ahead. So, maybe doing one review per day and skipping the weekends might work well.
#5402: Nongshim Udon Premium – United States
Found this at HMart during my big early summer noodle drought of 2025… I don’t see a lot of boxed varieties, let along ones for the US. This used to be in a bowl – although maybe it still is. Anyways, sounds like a good one to try out – let’s give it a whirl!
Advent Calendar Day 21: #5590: Nissin Soba Chili Flavor – Germany
Well, I overslept… So, it’s time to get stuff done. We were up really late – the plan was to watch Stand By Me, but couldn’t find it so we ended up watching the new version of Running Man – at least part of it. Surprisingly it wasn’t bad. Anyways, enough of our exceedingly late night viewing antics – let’s try this pack version of their Chili flavor – the cup version was really great so we shall see.
Advent Calendar Day 20: #5589: Nissin Soba Classic Flavor – Germany
Well we’re almost there. It’s been a lot of fun thus far. It’s Saturday – kids are now on winter break, aka Xmas break. It’s cold out. I’m hoping tomorrow I’ll be trying out a new camera if the battery charger shows up. Guess we’d better start getting on wrapping gifts – definitely not my strong suit. However, my wife Kit is really good at it – she’s got it down cold and makes them look professional. Well, let’s get to cooking – I really liked the pack version of this so now it’s the cup.
#5399: Sapporo Ichiban x Marutai Kumamoto-Style Garlic Tonkotsu Flavor Ramen – United States
Well, this is about it as far as noodles I have on hand. What a revoltin’ development! Found this one at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. The rest of these have been excellent – let’s check it out!
Advent Calendar Day 18: #5588: Nissin Soba Chili Flavor – Germany
Wow, that stripe at the top of these posts is getting longer and longer to do every day! I have to edit it in every single post! I’m sure there’s some kind of way to automate it, but I am just doing copy paste on each one at the end of the day – easier. Anyways, this is a spicy yakisoba we have here – let’s give it a try!
#5398: MAMA Thai Connext Instant Tom Kha Noodles – Thailand
This one was kindly sent by Mark K. – thanks! I’d never seen this before and thought wow that’s rad – so he sent some! Coconut soup with herbs… Sounds really nice – let’s cook!
Advent Calendar Day 15: Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy – Germany
I started doing this big advent calendar 2 weeks ago today – pretty crazy! It’s going very well thus far it seems! Thought I’d mention – if you like following, that’s great – I have my posts going out on quite a few platforms, but a couple have barely anyone following. I’m on Substack and Bluesky – it seems people started noticing that and then poof. So, I thought I’d remind folks that if they like those, I’m there. Tumblr too for what it’s worth. Now, on with the review!
Advent Calendar Day 13: #5585: Nissin Soba Teriyaki Flavor – Germany
Well it’s Saturday and time to start the second half of the advent calendar. Today’s my daughter Mimi’s birthday party so I’ll have to get going here. This is the teriyaki Soba pack version as opposed to the cup I did prior. Let’s cook it up!
#5393: Baoji Gan Mian Pi Xiangwei Shizu Baobao Cold Noodle – China
This one was hiding in my meager hamper stash – found it at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. First off, this is a cold noodle – good for during hot weather – which we’re getting toward as the day I’m reviewing this is the last day of spring. You can steam these or microwave them – and the latter sounds like the easier option. I am making this on the last day of school for the kids. Egad. Let’s get started.
#5392: Lemonilo Ramen Chick’N Chow Mein – United States
Well, here’s the last of these they sent – thanks again! I seem to be getting to the last of a lot of things… Running low of noodles I’m afraid. Hmmm… Well, let’s cook.
#5390: Maruchan Numaru Garlic Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen – Japan
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 – “Here’s a tasty cup of ramen with a punch of flavor! This Kumamoto-style tonkotsu features a savory pork base with hints of garlic in the soup along with Kumamoto’s famous black garlic oil! And with roasted garlic chips and green onion toppings, this cup is full of flavor!”
Advent Calendar Day 9: Nissin Demae Ramen Sesame – Germany
Started a little late this morning but no harm – it’s one I did recently enough… Curious if today will bring more torrential downpour and gusty winds. Guess we shall see.
#5389: Siam Chili Pad Thai Set – Thailand
Found this one at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. It sounds pretty good – let’s cook it up and fund out.
Advent Calendar Day 7: #5581: Nissin Ramen Korean Hot Chili Flavour Pocket Snack – Germany
Here’s another one I’ve not tried and it’s interesting. This one isn’t produced in Hungary like the previous ones I’ve shown but instead in Vietnam. I’ve noticed many companies producing in Vietnam – guessing that there’s a really good reason for this, probably has to do with cost and production volume? But that’s kinda outside my purview. This one’s Vegetarian friendly and touts a Korean spicy flavor. Sounds good – let’s give it a go!
Advent Calendar Day 6: #5580: Nissin Soba Sweet & Sour – Germany
Good morning, or good afternoon – it’s Saturday! We were up late – watched a movie called The Substance – if you like weird, it’s gonna fit the bill. Anyways, it’s a big day around here. My daughter Mimi is taking part in a special ‘Chorus Club’ performance at city hall with her school music class so that’s pretty awesome. But first thing I’m doing is editing images of noodles/taking pictures, etc. Next is to do this post and then cook, so that’s what’s going on. Let’s do this.
Advent Calendar Day 3: #5578: Nissin Soba Classic – Germany
This s a bigger undertaking thank I expected! Woke up, shot a quick video, edited images… I usually will do three reviews in a day but a set schedule for ones I’ve not reviewed (I’ve had this but not in this version of packaging) is pretty hardcore! It is fun though – let’s get this reviewed!
#5382: MAMA Oriental Style Instant Noodles Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavor – United States
Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a www.projectramen.com.
Advent Calendar Day 1: #5577: Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy Beef – Germany
Here’s the first of the Nissin Germany advent calendar! I didn’t think the first one would be a variety I’ve not reviewed, so here I am wrapping the post up at 8am. Let’s check this one out!
#5380: Ottogi Jin Jjajang Smoked Black Bean Flavor – United States
I was kindly given this one by my kids’ morning bus driver. He’s a really nice guy and we’ve talked a lot about instant ramyun from Korea – he’s Korean I should add. As I write this, it’s been almost a month since my last review. I took a week to do editing and readying 5 top ten lists – it takes a lot of time. Then I took a couple more weeks off. It’s been a nice break, but I’m done I need to do my work lol – I really enjoy it and productivity is like a drug to me when it comes to this stuff. What’s funny is that by the time this comes out, my kids will have a new morning bus driver and it’ll be the new school year. I posted #5212 today, so that’s…. Hmmm… Oh wow – mid November? Heck, I could take summer off… But I like doing this. Let’s do this one up real nice and big thanks to my kids’ bus drivers – they’re really nice people.
#5378: Sichuan Baijia Instant Konjac Noodles (Lemon Sour & Hot Flavor) – China
Well look at this – a unique Chinese variety. Make sure you look at the cooking directions – should find them interesting. Let’s give these a try – konjac noodle is ivery low cal.
#5377: Samyang Foods Samyang Ramen Non-Soggy Noodles – United States
They had a sale at HMart of this variety and it was $4. I’ve had it many times and love this stuff – but this is a little different. It’s got a little yellow triangle, mentioning ‘non-soggy noodles.’ Generally, ramyeon that is cooked isn’t soggy or spongy. Is the noodle different from previous versions? The sale kind of seems to me that it might be. This is an export version for the US market. Let’s cook it up.
#5344: Sapporo Ichiban x Marutai Kagoshima-Style Creamy Tonkotsu Flavor Ramen – United States
Another find at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. I think what’s happening here is Sapporo Ichiban is distributing Marutai made tonkotsu. Whatever’s going on, I like it – the last one I had was delectable. Let’s give it a try!
#5371: Otafuku Yaki Udon Japanese Stir Fry Noodles Sukiyaki Flavor – United States
Otafuku is a long time brand – mainly known for sauces. I have found their yakisoba sauce to be top notch over the years – I’ve made a lot of yakisoba. This one’s udon so thicker noodle. Let’s try it out.
#5370: Nongshim Hot & Sour – United States
This looks interesting to me. I’m curious how hot and how sour it’ll be. It’s got that tofu block too – let’s cook.
#5369: Nongshim Budae Ramyun Noodles With Soup Mix – United States
If you’re wondering, this is budae jjigae – also known as troop stew. It’s what happens when army foods like beanie weenie and macaroni meet Korean flavors. I decided on this one today as I’ve got something neat to try with it – fish skin! I’ve never tried the snack before, but I did last night and it’s really quite good! This particular variety of fish skin is made from pollock. Let’s check it out!
#5368: Myojo Ippeichan Night Shop Yakisoba Kansai Okonomiyaki Sauce Flavor – Japan
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 – “As an Osaka brand, we love Osaka dishes like okonomiyaki! This yakisoba bowl features tasty, thick noodles in a delicious and slightly sweet sauce inspired by Kansai okonomiyaki sauce. With a hint of onion and mayonnaise for creaminess, we love this bowl!”
#5365: Nongshin Shin Ramyun K-Pop Demon Hunters Edition – United States
Okay, so I don’t live under a rock so I know about these things. In fact, I saw an advert for this awhile back and thought ‘oh – the kids might like this.’ So, I let them check it out and I watched a bit of the movie. I hated it. More than I hate slicing a bagel incorrectly. Well, maybe not that much, but I’m really annoyed by this film. I know that a lot of people really like it and that’s fine. However, I do not. It’s K-Pop’s version of Frozen. I went through that Frozen crap when the kids were really little, so another take on it really isn’t something I can embrace. Plus, the animation is awful. The music is catchy, but not the catchy K-Pop I really like; this is so… Commercial. But I do enjoy a tie-in product and this one’s pretty cool. I should mention that the Korean local version of this (yes, this is made in the United States in a great factory in Rancho Cucamonga, California) came with stickers, and I did hear chatter that people over there were buying tons of Shin, taking out the stickers, then selling sets of those stickers on eBay or their equivalent.
#5361: Chil Kab Instant Hot & Sweet Topokki With Chewy Noodle – South Korea
Found this one that demands refrigeration at HMarr recently. Rapokki! Well, tteokbokki and chewy noodle… A troublesome thing happened though – the sticker on the side was very stuck and since refrigerated, the paper wasn’t compliant. Got that sticker halfway off and then r-r-rip! So apologies for that on the pic of the side panels. Anyways, let’s give it a try!
#5360: Sapporo Ichiban Pokémon Shio Tonkotsu Ramen – Japan
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 – “The Poké-party continues with a tasty ramen pack! This pack combines thin, curly ramen noodles with a savory, thick yet mild shio tonkotsu (salt & pork bone) broth and extra umami with accents of kelp boiled into the broth! Add the special pepper for extra flavor!”
#5359: Prima Taste Singapore Prawn Soup La Mian – Singapore
Here’s another of the new package varieties from Prima Taste – prawn soup. I’ve been saving it for the right time and this be it. Let’s cook!
