This instant ramen is great for the price point. The noodles have a nice chew and it holds up well in the hot broth without becoming mushy too quickly.
Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.
While it does have beef flavor, you can tell it’s artificial, but I personally don’t mind it. It’s actually comforting. The aftertaste has a heavy hit of onion powder, followed by garlic powder and a solid dose of MSG.
To level up this simple bowl, I’d add a soft-boiled egg for richness. Vienna sausages would also be a quick addition. You can check out my easy upgraded maruchan recipe for more topping ideas!

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.
