It’s been sitting in my big ramen box for quite a while now and been contemplating trying this one as of late. Got an email this morning from someone who read the article in the Herald about this site and this stuff was mentioned, so I thought no time like the present. Lucky me!

#409: Payless Instant Mami Chicken Flavor
So here’s something new by a name I’ve liked a lot in the past. I have always given high marks to Payless’ Pancit Canton varieties, but this is the first time with some Instant Mami. Mami? What is Mami?! Wikipedia says it is:
#408: Gomex 3 Mien Gomex 3 Miến Mì Tôm Chua Cay Hot Sour Shrimp Instant Noodles
So here’s the second of the Gomex noodles. I’ve never seen them other than the two I’ve rated – pretty interesting. They’re from Vietnam and sound interesting, so let’s give em’ a try…
The Ramen Rater Makes Front Page Everett Herald Newspaper
Awesome!!! Here’s the link so you can read online. I want to thank Noah Haglund and Dan Bates for their great work on the article and photography! Thanks again!
#407: Ottogi Snack Ramen Cup
Here’s a cup noodle from Korea’s Ottogi. It says it only takes 2 minutes to cook. Usually, you’re looking at 3 minutes! Such efficiency!
#406: Vifon Beef Flavor Mi Bo Asian Style Instant Noodles
So the other Vifon Asian Styleys have been great so far – so let’s see how this one fares. I like how their packaging for this line of products is nice and colorful.
#405: Ibumie Penang Harimee Prawn Flavour Mi Perisa Udang Instant Noodles
This is a brand new one from Malaysia I found at 99 Ranch today. Looks like it’ll rock!
#404: Vina Acecook Hảo Hảo Sate Onion Flavour
Hảo Hảo Hảo? I doubt whether John Lee Hooker enjoyed this stuff during his life, but let’s see if it’s any good.
#403: Maruchan Instant Lunch Lime Flavor With Shrimp Ramen Noodles With Vegetables
So this looks kind of interesting. Hmmm… I should make a list of the Maruchan Instant Lunches I’ve ingested and then I can go to the store and get all the ones I have not and then bam bam bam… Cheap noodle week!
#402: Sau Tao (Thick) Instant Noodle King Scallop Soup Flavor
I think this is the last of the Sau Tao’s I have for reviewing at this point. This one’s Scallop flavor with thick noodles. Again, these noodles aren’t fried. If you notice to the upper right of center, you are being informed that ‘Health is important.’ Looks like 4g fat and 7.5g fiber – not too bad actually.
#401: Myojo Suudon-Desse Soy Sauce Flavor Japanese Style Soup Noodles
So some of the comments I’ve received lately have been from folks who really liked Maruchan Kitsune Udon bowls. Unfortunately, those aren’t being produced anymore, at least for the USA. So I thought maybe to begin the 400’s here we’d look at a couple of Myojo’s bowls which I’ve found to be quite good.
#400: Nissin Cup Noodles Seafood Curry Flavour (Hong Kong)
So for the 400th review, I went with one I’ve thought should be interesting – seafood curry. These are Cup Noodles that are not for sale usually in the United States. I’ve found two – Crab Flavour and Seafood Flavour, but this Curry Seafood Flavour came from Canada.
#399: Paldo Spicy Seafood Flavor Noodle Soup Cup
Ah the fruits of the sea! I wonder if it’ll be a fishy spicy thing going on? I sure hope so…
#398: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Beef Flavor with Vegetable Instant Noodle Soup
So here’s perhaps the last or maybe next to last of the Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup line. These have been really good!
#397: Quickchow Quickie Cup Mami La Paz Batchoy
Something new – a cup noodle from the Philippines!
Two packets – dry seasoning on the left and a seasoned oil on the right.
#396: Vina Acecook Best Cook Hot & Spicy Tom Yum Shrimp Flavour Instant Noodles
So far I’ve been so pleased with the Vina Acecook products. Everything’s been so nice about them. So let’s try a new one – a bowl noodle this time.
#395: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Mild) Asian Style Instant Noodle Cup
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!
#393: Kamfen Dried-Mix Noodles XO Sauce Flavoured
This one looked interesting. I really liked the Nissin Demae Iccho Ramen with XO Sauce, so I thought this would be good too hopefully.
#392: Nissin Yakisoba Noodles Karashi Flavor
I have to say, when I see a box like this with any kind of mayonnaise-like stuff going on, I get really hungry!
#391: Myojo Hyoubanya no Chukasoba Japanese Style Noodles Oriental Flavor
So on our recent trip to the new Bellevue Uwajimaya, we got a 5-pack of this stuff. My lady Kit really enjoyed the Myojo Charmela stuff so I thought maybe this would be something she would like too.
#390: Menraku Japanese Curry “Soba” Bowl
So we went to the brand new Bellevue Washington Uwajimaya a couple days ago and wow – pretty awesome! Got some nice bowl noodles to try – here’s one!
#389: MAMA Vegetarian Tom Yum
So here’s one that came down from Canada but I wager it’s available at most good sized Asian groceries around here.
#388: Maruchan Instant Lunch Cheddar Cheese Flavor Ramen Noodles
So been really curious how this one’d pan out. I’ve tried mac and cheese-esque noodles before, but never in a cup…
#387: Nissin Bowl Noodles Rich & Savory Beef Flavor
Well this should be a tasty and tame one after the horror of the zero star review #386. So on we go with some beefiness!
#386: Fu Chang Chinese Noodle Company Pork, Seafood & Noodles Combo
Well, this looks like a lot of insanity! Here we go!!!
Wait – I thought this was pork and seafood flavor, not shrimp flavor…
#385: Ve Wong Hot Of Hots Artificial Black Peppered Beef Flavor Instant Oriental Noodle Soup (Bowl)
So here’s another one of the ‘Hot of Hots’ I found recently. I really have no idea of what to expect with this one…
#384: Nissin Demae Iccho Instant Macaroni In Soup Tom Yam Goong Flavour
So I’ve been doing these slowly because they’re so cool! Another my sis brought back from Canada. Tom Yam eh? Should be interesting!
#383: Lucky Me! Chicken Na Chicken Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavor
Wow! I have a feeling this tastes somewhat like… chicken! Chicken na Chicken Chicken flavor! Here we go!
#382: Lucky Me! N-Rich Instant Noodles with Malanggay (Moringa Oleifera) Tinolang Manok Artificial Chicken Flavor with Ginger
So here’s one of the smaller packs of noodles. This one’s from the Philippines and containes something called Malanggay. Here’s what is said about it on Wikipedia:
381: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Artificial Beef Flavor Vietnam Flavor
So I’ve reviewed quite a few of these so had to look to make sure I hadn’t already! But nope not yet so here we go!
#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.
#379: Nissin Chow Mein Thai Peanut Flavor Chow Mein Noodles
Haven’t reviewed one of these in a while. I did do the Alfredo recently but that’s a little further off track than this. Anyways, Thai Peanut Flavor…
#378: Ve Wong Hot Of Hots Artificial Satay Beef Flavor Instant Oriental Noodle Soup (Bowl)
The ‘Hot Of Hots’ eh? Sounds interesting! I hope its good as I really like satay…
#377: Sau Tao Ho Fan Abalone Chicken Soup Flavored
Yep – here’s another of the Sau Tao’s. I’m just going to go through all of them in a row I think. This is Chicken and Abalone – kind of a new twist on ‘surf and turf’ eh? Anyways…
#376: Sau Tao Lobster Soup Flavored Thick Instant Noodle King
So here’s another of these Sau Tao’s by Sun Shun Fuk (heh heh) and hopefully it’s some good stuff.
#375: Vifon Pho Bo An Lien Vietnamese Style Instant Rice Noodle Beef Flavour
So here’s something new but kind of like a lot of other stuff…
Clockwise from top: powdered soup base, veggies and seasoned oil.
#374: Vifon Shrimp Flavor Mi Tom Asian Style Instant Noodles
I rarely have any issue with a nice shrimp flavor bowl of noodles. These are from Vietnam by Vifon – I’d better cook them up and review them ‘cuz I’m hungry!
#373: Nissin Cup Noodles Chicken Vegetable Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So here’s one my lady Kit brought me back from California! Cup Noodles Chicken Vegetable time!
#372: Noodle Time Spicy Thai Instant Ramen Noodles With Real Vegetables
So let’s start with the name – Noodle Time. Apparently, this is a Canadian brand. They started in 2001 in Edmondton, Alberta and they make this stuff in a few flavors. They pride themselves on No MSG, althought the bowl if consumed entirely contains about 1,500mg of sodium.
