I tried this right when it came out – it used to have different packaging to a slight degree – the logo as well has changed, and since my son wants to try every Buldak out there, here we are. Let’s check it out!

#5641: Nongshim Soon Veggie Noodle Soup – United States
This was a score. Why? Well, I hit Grocery Outlet yesterday in search of noodles to review (it happens from time to time) and saw these. I had to do a double take – the multipack was $1.99. Why so cheap? Expiring next month. No prob lem there. I’ve not reviewed this in ages so I thought an update would be nice especially at that price point. Let’s cook it up!
#5639: Otoki Jin Ramen Mild – United States
Alright so I think this is it. I’ve reviewed the cups, the bowls, and the pack versions of this and the spicy version once this is done. They really did a sweeping rebranding – even the name., Let’s cook it up!
#5635: Otoki Cheesy Ramen Spicy Noodle Soup – United States
Hit a couple Asian markets last weekend and found this and its non-spicy counterpart. I’ve been trying to get my hands on everything in this new Otoki range. Not a super fan of the new labeling; I really liked the standard yellow style. But who knows this might be a bit of a recipe change. Let’s give it a try on this rainy day.
#5631: Samyang Buldak Carbonara Spicy Tteokbokki – Unites States
Well, well, well… My son now is very interested in trying tteokbokki. It will go one of two ways. I’ll do it up then we shall do a mukbang (both videos below. So he will either like it or barely try it and say I don’t like it. I guess we shall see. He does like carboinara Buldak, so it’s possible he’ll like it – we will just have to wait and see…
#5629: Rap Snacks Ramen Noodles Rick Ross Lemon Pepper Chicken – United States
Here’s another Rap Snacks variety sent by The Fat Hipster – thanks! As usual, not expecting a lot from these but I guess we shall see. Let’s give ’em a try.
#5626: Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor Ramen Big Bowl – United States
My son Miles is in full swing obsession with trying everything Buldak. This is an enormous switch for him. Miles is on the spectrum and doesn’t generally venture out of his comfort zone at all when it comes to foods. I’m impressed that he’s making such an effort here – there’s a mukbang below! Let’s give it a go.
#5623: Otoki Jin Jjambbong Spicy Seafood Noodle – United States
This one is an absolute favorite of mine, however I and others have noted some changes in taste from some of the newly named Otoki vs Ottogi. Hopefully, this remains a wonderfully smoky and spicy seafood wonder. Let’s find out!
#5621: Samyang Buldak Carbonara Spicy Ramen Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor – United States
Okay, here’s another chicken that isn’t exactly right. It’s pork flavored. When as AI was asked about the idea of chicken in carbonara –
#5619: Otoki Kimchi Ramen – United States
Found this one at HMart. The Otoki variants are for the US while Ottogi ones are for the Korean market – at least that’s what it seems like, but I could be wrong on that as I don’t have any official comment from the company. What I do know is that westerners saying Otoki is closer to the hard g/soft k kinda thing. Anyways, let’s have a nice kimchi bowl!
#5616: Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen Spicy Chicken Artificially Flavored – United States
Previously we tried the Big Bowl version. Our local Albertsons affiliate has had tons of Buldak all of a sudden – would be nice if they do more exclusives as they’re going to be easy for me to get my hands on. Let’s check out this pack version – mukbang to follow as well!
#5614: Nongshim Doong Ji Naengmyeon With Chilled Beef Flavored Broth – United States
Big thanks to James from Lakeside for this one! I recently got a comment on my reviews for my ‘poor sentence structure.’ Well, I write the way I speak (mispelling omitted of course). I used to try and flourish things a lot but I kind of left that behind as it seems ingenuine to me. I had a guy who used ChatGPT to reply to my emails – it was awful. So perky. Anyways, this is a cold one; that works well as its wintertime and this should post in the summer. Let’s cook!
#5613: Rap Snacks Lil Baby “All In” Hot Flavored Ramen Noodles – United States
Big thanks to The Fat Hipster for shooting this over. So I’ve sampled Rap Snacks instant noodles before with pretty low scores. I’m hopeful that this new set will be better, but I guess I’ll have to try them to know for sure. I do like trying things even when I really expect to be underwhelmed. The potato chip flavor these are based on is quite good, so hopefully this will follow suit.
#5606: Samyang Buldak Cheese Spicy Ramen – United States
Well, another Monday and another strange week. My kids have the day off due to teacher grading day. So many days off – just had winter break, then MLK, now this one. It’s strange – we didn’t get that many, nor did we get short days on Wednesdays like they do every week. I think they get out for summer break late June – we got ouy mid June as far as I can remember. Anyways, today we’re doing another mukbang. Continuing the era of my son Miles wanting to do mukbang, I’m adding a little twist to the mix. I’ve been doing just plain varieties without any garnish. Today I’m adding chicken and scallion in there – oh wait am I out of scallion? Crap. Well, we’ll try it out. with just some chicken. I don’t think I can remember him eating actual meat – this should be interesting, so check out the mukbang below for the results. I’m expecting a look of disdain, but who knows; he might go for it. I’ve not had this in years – do you remember when the original and the cheese both had dark backgrounds? Anyways, let’s kick it into gear.
#5605: Restaurant Review: Supreme Dumplings, Bellevue, Washington – United States
So it’s been forever since we’ve had a date. We have two kids, 9 and 10 years old. The best we usually get is maybe if we have an appointment while the kids are in school and we get to hang out, and dinner after they’re in bed. We wanted to get honey walnuts prawns as that a favorite of ours, and we found a place with good reviews in Bellevue, Washington called Supreme Dumplings.
#5604: Knorr Chatt Patta Spicy Flavored Instant Noodles – Pakistan
Another kind donation from James of Lakeside, California – thanks again! A day of being productive awaits me. Eggs are done, dragging the kids to the thrift store, doing reviews early… Good stuff – gettin’ ‘er done. This one translates to tangy and spicy – let’s give it a go.
#5603: Maruchan Saucy Noods Spicy Chicken Flavor Stir Fry Style Noodles – United States
Here’s the counterpart of the creamy Saucy Noods. I’ve only seen it once and that was at a liquidation style place so unsure if it still exists, but the creamy one was quite good so hopefully this is good and it is still around.
#5601: Hello Kitty Slimygloop Cup Of Slime – United States
This is a special one – my daughter Mimi joins me in the Instant Noodle Recipe Time at the bottom so don’t miss that. This is slime. When I was a kid, my mother would have given me hell for playing with something like this and asked me what was wrong with me. Nowadays, there are actually gourmet slime shops and you can lay out a hundred bucks on boutique slimes. What is wrong with our world and what is coming next? Anyways, let’;s proceed with caution as this is slime.
#5599: Nongshim Yaki Udon Premium Teriyaki Flavor – United States
This is a very interesting one and I believe it to be its third iteration. Way back, this was garlic teriyaki and it was a splendid variant – one my wife loved and she’s not the biggest noodle human. Then they came out with a version with a huge drop in sodium – about 35000mg down to 700mg. Then we have this one in the ‘carton’ version. Well, let’s give it a try.
#5596: Samyang Buldak SWICY Sweet & Spicy Ramen – United States
We have a heat wave here – like it’s going to hit 60 degrees in mid January heatwave – which says one thing to me: get ready for the opposite. Seems like that happens often. But today it’s a review – and then a mukbang. My ten year old son Miles has all of a sudden decided he wants to try Buldak. So, I’ll do the review today and then on the weekend we’ll do the mukbang. It should be noted that the sprinkles that are candy and star shaped make me immediately think of Samyang Popeye snack which also have star shaped sugary bits. This one is a sweet and spicy – let’s give it a go!
#5594: Maruchan Saucy Noods Spicy Creamy Chicken Flavor Stir Fry Style Noodles – United States
I’ve wanted to review this one for a long time and I found it at our local Grocery Outlet store. That’s a place that stuff could possibly be being discontinued. I’m kind of surprised but who knows if that’s the case – just glad I was able to find it! Well, let’s cook it up and I’ll give you my thoughts.
#5593: Menraku Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Taste – United States
Well it’s been awhile – probably doesn’t seem like it to you since I post daily, but for me it’s January 8th. Back to the regular thing after the holidays! Wheee! I thought I’d try this one to start things out. Let’s give it a go!
#5574: Ramen-Aid Electrolyte Soup Supplement + Energy – United States
So another ‘this isn’t ramen’ however it’s a special vitamin and caffeine supplement to put in your soupy ramen! You can get it at ramen-aid.com. I tried the other version and what I was looking for is whether it changed the flavor of the broth and found it didn’t, so let’s see if this one does.
#5571: Mei Wei Taro Sticky Rice Pandan Flavor – United States
This isn’t ramen. That being said, here’s one I found at Evergreen Asian Market in Everett, Washington. Found quite a few gems at this place so that was rad. Pandan is a kind of nutty flavor – one of my favorite things is this little bubble tea joint we like that has pendan waffles – they’re green and quite tasty. Also the place is stupid expensive, so it is an exceedingly rare happening for us to end up in there. Anyways, pandan is great stuff. Let’s check this little rice cup out.
The Ramen Rater’s Bottom Ten Worst Instant Noodles Of All Time 2026 Edition
Welcome to another edition of Thunderdome! This is a list of my least favorite varieties; the list where if your product drops off of it, it’s a good thing. We’ve got two new ones for 2026 that are exceptionally vile. That being said, if you like them, then your problem,. Everyone likes different things – just don’t expect me to eat them with you. This list is current as of review #5505. All products are reviewed prior to external garnish. With that let’s check out The Ramen Rater’s Bottom Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2026 Edition.
#5667: Nissin Top Ramen Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup With Bachan’s Japamese Barbecue Sauce Sweet & Spicy Flavor – United States
Well, here we have the third and final variety from this range by Nissin USA and I am pretty sure it’s got the longest name of all. So far, I can give a qualified take it or leave it feel to these. They’re variations on a theme as they’re all beef and just have different flavors of the Bachan’s BBQ sauce. Well, let’s take it on a test drive and see how it goes.
#5566: Nora Kitchen Sinigang Ramen – United States
This one looks interesting – never heard of this style before and I suspect iits a Filiino variant. Tamarrind and shriimp! Let’s give it a look.
#5565: Uni-President Unif Tung-I Ramen Noodles Artificial Beef With Herrbs Flavor – United States
This one is from a Taiwanese company but from their Vietnamese factory and packaged for the US market. I’ve tried a ton of these but not seen this before. Let’s give it a whirl.
#5563: Ppushu Ppushu Tteokbokki – Alternate Cooking Experiment – United States
I’ve been threatening this for awhile so I figure it’s time. You usually just crush it and sprinkle seasoning and shake it up. Not I think today – I’m going to make it as a dry noodle and boil it. This could destroy the known universe, but I have my doubts. It’ll ether work or it won’t. Let’ find out!
#5562: Mei Wei Pork Congee Rice Porridge – United States
I remember when we’ve flown to Taiwan, when they ask what you want to eat, they’ll go up and down the aisles and say ‘pork porridge?’ I’ll admit, I usually got pork porridge. It was kinda funny. Anyways, found this one at Evergreen Asian Market in Everett, Washington. Let’s cook.
#5560: Yi Hai Cup Rice Scallop Mushroom – United States
This one comes by way of James from Lakeside, CA. So it’s not ramen but I’m sure he found this right next to the ramen. Let’s try it!
#5559: Nissin Cup Noodles Protein Hot & Spicy Chicken – United States
Here’s the third of the three Protein varieties thanks to James from Lakeside, CA. The other two weren’t my favorite but we shall see with this one.
#5558: Harim Bul Sauce Stir-fried Ramen – United States
Time for something spicy from South Korea for the US market. Definitely a clone but I must say I’ve been rather impressed with the Harim varieties I’ve tried recently. Found this at Boo Han Market on 99 in Edmonds. Let’s cook!
Noodle Bomb Craft Ramen Sauce Taste Test & Unboxing
I’m always curious to try new things – and this was something I’ve wanted to try. After a long tiome of changing things around, here we are with the www.noodlebomb.co ramen sauce line. I can say it’s great stuff – just watch the video. Check it out and if you want to try it yourself, get it here!
#5556: Indomie Instant Noodles Vegetable Flavour – United States
A few languages on this export version. I half expected this to have come from their Turkish factory. Despite the multiple languages (and use of the word flavor spelled flavour), this is for the US market as you can see the long distributor list with US telephone numbers. Let’s cook!
Ramen Now! A Desktop Ramen Noodle Cooker That Works
I got an email from Ramen Now! recently asking if I’d like to examine their product and I thought this could be fun! The Ramen Now! is a plug-in device that allows the user to cook instant noodles simply and quickly, taking them from machine to table. Therte’s quite a few niceties here – the bowl it comes with is also useful as a serving bowl. It’s a small device. It works with a myriad of varieties.

Want to get one, click here. This would be a great gift for the college student or the ramen enthusiast in your life!
#5555: Assi Jjajang Rapokki – United States
Here’s another found at Boo Han Market in Edmonds, Washington. I generally like rapokki but jjajang I’m honestly hit or miss with. Guess we’ll find out, eh?
#5554: Nissin Cup Noodles Ramen Bistro Korean Gochujang Beef – United States
Looked all over for these and finally found them. Now we will see how it goes.

Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge).Contains shrimp and beef. To prepare, fill to line with room temp water andmicrowave at 1000W for 2.5 minutes. Let stand 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!!
#5551: Nongshim x Jayfai Shin Ramyun Tom Yum – United States
I’ve tried the local version from overseas previously, and here’s one version packaged for sale in the United States. I love tom yum and it so happens we have some shrimp – let’s get this one going!
#5549: Nissin Geki Spicy Carbonara Chicken Flavor Asian Noodles In Sauce – United States
