My first impression of this Laky Men Beef Flavor Instant Noodle is that it’s quite salty. You’ll definitely want a drink handy. The broth has that kind of recognizable artificial beef flavor, and you can taste a decent amount of MSG in there.
Produced in Guatemala.

It includes those little soy protein pieces, and while the beef flavor is generally well-rounded, it doesn’t really taste like real beef.
The dehydrated vegetables are a nice touch, though, and they do help to cut through some of that saltiness and add a bit of color to the bowl.
If you’re looking to upgrade this one, I’d suggest slicing up some hot dogs and throwing them in while it’s cooking. That salty, savory combo works surprisingly well with the broth. I also suggest adding more water than the packaging suggests.

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.
