Diving into this one, it felt like a bit of a water-level gamble right off the bat. Since there wasn’t a clear fill line, I just added enough to cover the noodles, but looking back, that might have been why it ended up being a little on the salty side.
Produced in Vietnam. Distributed in United States.

However, it really nailed the seafood flavor. It’s definitely got that strong ocean-y thing going on, but there’s also this robust onion flavor that pops through. It leans towards the sweeter side, and while it reminds me a bit of Mama noodles, it’s missing that signature lime zing.
Even with the saltiness, though, I have to say, I genuinely enjoyed it.
To make this seafood-onion fusion shine, some fresh cilantro would add a nice bright herbal note. Tender boiled squid would double down on the seafood, a squeeze of fresh lime would bring in that acidity it’s missing, a sprinkle of dry chili pepper would give it a welcome kick, and some crisp, fresh cabbage would add a refreshing crunch.
Here is my review on the brand’s Menudo version and the Pozole version.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 5 based on his experience with the heat. My own spice tolerance tends to be higher than most, so James’s rating gives a more general sense of the spiciness. Keep in mind that spice is still subjective, so what’s mild for him might be spicy for you, and vice versa!
That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/5 would be very watery, while a 5/5 would be super thick and almost syrupy.
This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 would be very thick and wide.
Here, I’m just describing the style or texture of the noodles, like “udon-like” for a chewy and thick noodle, or “thin and curly” for a more classic instant ramen style.
