Been waiting to get my hands on this one for awhile! I tried Cielo products a while back and been curious about the Birria and Mariscos varieties! This is the Birria and it sounds good – we shall see indeed! Time to cook.

#5482: Otoki K-Pop Star’s Secret Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
Here’s a low cal variety from Otoki (formerly Ottogi). Interesting. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first variety, hopefully this one will fare better.
#5481: Nissin Cup Noodles Protein Rich & Savory Beef Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
Here’s the counterpart to the chicken version, found at the local grocery store. What bums me out is no Thai Curry Hot Pot Fusiuon Nissin variety at the local store. Idk… Hopefully I’ll run into it soon. Let’s give this one a try.
#5478: Samyang Buldak Potato Chips Original Spicy Chicken Artificially Flavored – United States
Well here we are with the last of the series of three – starting with the Habanero Lime (not very spicy, overwhelmed by lime), the Quattro (decently spicy and cheese-like), and now the original. Let’s pop open the bag and see what is within.
#5463: Samyang Buldak Taco Spicy Ramen – United States
Found this at the Target next to the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, WA. Very curious about this as it seems ‘south of the border’ flavors keep popping up – Quattro, Habanero lime, Corn, and now the Taco. I got some garnish just for this one. Let’s cook it up!
#5460: Samyang Rose Buldak Spicy Ramen – United States
Found this at the Target in Lynnwood, WA by the Alderwood Mall. I tried the cup version a few days ago and was rather disappointed. I’m hoping this is more pleasing. Let’s cook it up.
#5458: 3 Mien Thai Shrimp Instant Noodles – United States
Thanks going out to James from Lakeside, California! The last couple of these cup have been meats flavored but this one sounds pretty good – they’re made in Vietnam so they might to tom yum some justice? We shall see. Let’s give it a try!
#5457: Paldo Volcano Chicken Carbonara – United States
The video for this one came out of Christmas Day, 2025 – you can see it at the bottom. I think there’s probably a lot of you that don’t know about my show Instant Noodle Recipe Time – it’s on pretty much every single day at 9am Pacific Time (Vancouver/Los Angeles). I’ve been doing the show for years and I think a lot of YouTube don’t know about me on www.theramenrater.com. Didn’t know I’d find this one over at HMart. I tried the pack version recently… Let’s try the bowl!
#5456: Samyang Buldak Potato Chips Quattro Cheese – United States
Here’s the second of three varieties of Buldak potato chips – Quattro Cheese. Definitely one of the latest and popular varieties where their noodles are concerned. Let’s give em’ a try!
#5454: Otoki Jin Ramen Spicy – United States
Alas, another new package Otoki variety! It used to be Ottogi, however they changed the brand name here in the United States. I’m in the mood – found it at HMart – let’s do it.
#5451: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Toomba Stir Fry – United States
Having deja vu? Well, I made this wrong the first time. It clearly states to fill to the line, however it was a lower line than I saw – so I put in too much water. Prepared in that way, I really enjoyed it – 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. This time, I’m doing it right. Let’s give it a whirl.
#5450: Samyang Buldak Potato Chips Habanero Lime – United States
Found these at Target – got the other two varieties as well to review. This is weird; I dunno – will they be good? Spicy? Sounds interesting at the least – let’s try ’em.
#5449: 3 Mien Ribs Flavored Noodle Soup – United States
Another one from James of Lakeside, California – thanks again! Ribs… Hmmm. I guess we will find out. This could go different ways.
#5448: Samyang Buldak Rose Spicy Ramen – United States
Had a nice outing last weekend and found a lot of Buldak I’d not reviewed including this one. Ahh, rose. This is one I did a mukbang video of but before I had the chance to edit it, I had deleted it… Oops. Well, not today but soon as I have the pack version as well. Let’s give it a go – I remember I loved the South Korean local pack version immensely.
#5447: Nissin Top Ramen Hot Pot Fusions Japanese Garlic Tonkotsu Pork Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
The local grocery store keeps providing more stuff all the time it’s really quite interesting. Wasn’t sure of the Korean one but this should be good and last will be the Thai Curry – should I be able to find it. Months later, I still haven’t and would have truly enjoyed finding it, but to no avail everywhere I’ve looked.
#5444: Nissin Cup Noodles Hot Wings Garlic Parmesan Flavor – Unites States
Well, here’s the third. The first was buffalo/ranch flavored – 1 star. Lemon pepper next – 2 stars. This is the last chance. Can we get a good one out of the set? Read on.
#5443: Bias Apgu Red Chili Instant Noodles – United States
Say! Here’s a new one – I was contacted by Bias about a new non-fried, Vegan friendly, and low-cal ramyun that’s supposed to be really tasty. Time to find out!
#5442: Nissin Cup Noodles Hot Wings Lemon Pepper Flavor – United States
Well, here’s the second of the trifecta of wings variants from Nissin. The ranch one I did previously? No thanks. Let’s give this a try – I see something promising.
#5441: Nissin Cup Noodles Protein Rich & Savory Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
Another one I found at Safeway which wasn’t there the day before when I found that Hot Pot Fusion one I reviewed this week. I’ve got strong opinions on this one. If it is indeed rich and savory, that’s what should be concentrated on. I don’t see people looking to instant noodle cups for protein; they’re health conscious. Another point on the whole of the big ‘protein push’ is that chicken is gram for gram protein. You sauté up a small piece of chicken breast – it’s ALL protein. I’ve seen a lot of things come and go in the instant noodle world and I hate to say it, but this looks like it’ll be gone possibly before this posts. But hey – it’s a competitive market and companies have to throw a lot of products at the wall to see which ones stick. Good luck – maybe it will, but I have my doubts.
#5439: Nissin Top Ramen Hot Pot Fusions Korean Spicy Beef – United States
Hey Nissin you’ve been holding out! This is a new one I found at my local Safeway supermarket of all places. There are two siblings in this range – a tonkotsu and a coconut curry – both of which I’m all over. Let’s try this one.
#5434: Samyang Tangle Garlic Oil Pasta – United States
This one came by way of James from Lakeside, California – thanks again! I must admit that this range seems to be pretty good stuff. Maybe this is a kind of aglio olio thing? Let’s find out.
#5430: Otoki Jin Ramen Spicy Noodle Soup – United States
Here’s another form factor of the Jin range – cups. I’ve reviewed the mild as well. Let hit the spicy!
#5429: 3 Mien Beef Flavored Noodle Soup – United States
Another neat one from James of Lakeside, California. This is an export for the US market from Vietnam. The first one I tried was chicken and it was pretty good. In comes beef. Let’s give it a whirl.
#5427: K-Town Spicy Hula Ramyun – United States
Big thanks to James from Lakeside, California for this one! Never seen this before. I don’t know who makes it, however its distributed in New Jersey. Neat packaging… Let’s try it!
#5424: Paldo Volcano Chicken Curry Noodle – United States
Found this one at a Grocery Outlet bargain market here in town over the weekend. $2.99 for a 4-pack is pretty good I figure. Last time I tried this it had different packaging – back in 2017. This one took a long time to edit as the pictures had the expiration date over the words ‘That’s Crazy Hot.’ But it came out nice. Let’s cook it up!
#5423: Nissin Top Ramen Picante Beef Flavor – United States
A big thank you to Aimee J. for sending this one! This is the first time I’ve gotten a Nissin product for the corrections industry. This is prison ramen. The packaging is clear in order to make it difficult to hide things. I’ve never had a reason to hide things in a pack of noodles so I find that fascinating. I wonder what other flavors there are out there? Would like to review them all, so if you’ve got any, please contact me! Well, let’s give it a try!
#5422: Simply Asia Soy Ginger Noodle Bowl – United States
I dedicate this one to my late friend Jamie. These were the kinds of noodle things we generally poked fun at a lot. I must say though that the absence of the words inspired, authentic, and fusion seem to be missing where something like this may even have all three. Those are generally the opposite of what is found. Let’s give this one, found at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market.
#5420: 3 Mien Chicken Flavored Noodle Soup – United States
Here’s another one from James of Lakeside, California. This an interesting one – he sent a bunch by this brand. These are made in Vietnam for the US market and say ‘made with Korea technology.’ Curious how they are. Let’s find out.
#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.
#5592: Samyang Buldak Original Spicy Ramen Artificial Spicy Chicken Flavor – United States
We end the year on an interesting note today! My son Miles is very interested in trying out Buldak. Now, he’s very food sensitive – he generally only like non warm, crunchy things (Cheez-Its, chips, apples) , pudding, chocolate milk, soda… It’s kind of an uphill battle introducing new things for him to try that he’ll go for, Noodles are definitely not going to be an easy go except for the fact he really wants to do Buldak. We saw this at 7-Eleven and he was all over it, so we got it. I’m going to cook it up, add nothing, and let it cool. I can’t think of any time he’s eaten anything hot temperature wise in years. He used to eat oatmeal and peanut butter with me, and he did used to eat noodles – but at a certain point he stopped. Is this the turning point? There will be a mukbang below – so watch and see.
#5410: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Toomba Stir Fry (Soup) – United States
Note – I prepared this incorrectly, however in an upcoming review it is prepared correctly.
#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!
#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!
#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!
#5401: Trailtopia Adventure Food Curry Ramen Noodles – United States
Big thanks to The Fat Hipster for sending this along. This is an instant noodle for hikers and campers. So if you’re neither, think of carrying tons of stuff for a multi day outdoor trip. You will need food. Do you want to carry something heavy or light? When you’re done, do you want big trash to lug around? Well, this is a solution. These packs aren’t huge, they’re light, and unlike a foam bowl, this is also the cooking vessel and folds up for disposal away from the trail. The expiration date said 2029 as well, so if the universe hasn’t blown up yet, you’ll have noodles, and if it has blown up, it’ll be right there for you in your secret noodle bunker! Plus, it’s curry. Sold! Let’s give it a shot.
#5397: Maruchan Instant Rice Bowl Mexican Rice – United States
Well, here you go! We found this while looking for Slurpees for the kids at 7 Eleven a month or two ago. There’s a Mexican rice flavor one as well I’ve reviewed in the past. I know – not ramen. However, it’s with the ramen so there, and made by a ramen forward company. Let us microwave!
#5395: Ramen Pop Spicy Chicken Ramen Big Bowl Soup – United States
I’m currently broke and my options are limited, so I thought I would walk over to the discount grocery stores nearby. I found one option – this. 99 cents! It says its made in South Korea, but my whom is anyone’s guess. I’m curious – let’s cook.
#5394: Ajinomoto Oyakata Yakisoba Chicken Teriyaki – United States
The last of the versions found at HMart recently. The first one was super salty but the rest haven’t been too bad. I think this one sounds good – let’s find out.
