This was my first time trying the Maruchan Roast Beef ramen. I’ve had the regular Beef Flavor and the Chicken plenty of times, so I was mostly curious whether the “roast” in the name actually came through.
Produced in United States.

What’s in the Package
Inside you’ll find a block of wavy wheat noodles and a single seasoning packet.
How to Cook Maruchan Roast Beef Ramen Noodle Soup
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the noodles.
- Boil for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the seasoning packet.
- Stir for about a minute, until the seasoning dissolves.
How Does It Taste
The broth hits you with beef bouillon and heavy onion powder right away. It’s slightly creamy in a way that feels thickened rather than from actual cream or fat. I wouldn’t call it roast beef, though. It just tastes like they poured in more beef bouillon than they do for the regular pack.
This is the kind of bowl you’d want when you’re sick and need that warm, aggressive seasoning to cut through.
Noodles are the typical Maruchan. They don’t fall apart in the broth.
How Does It Compare
Maruchan’s beef lineup all shares the same bouillon-and-onion DNA. Roast Beef is very similar to Maruchan Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup. They’re both salt-forward, both built on the same onion-powder base. Maruchan Chicken Flavor is the gentler one if the beef feels like too much.
How to Level Up Maruchan Roast Beef Ramen Noodle Soup
The broth is already salty enough on its own, so I went straight to adding vegetables. Cabbage adds a nice crunch and keeps it from being just broth and noodles. Any vegetable you have on hand works, but I’d recommend ones with texture for a crunch.
Final Verdict
This is a solid sick-day ramen. The salt and the onion-powder beef broth are exactly what I want when I’m feeling off. The noodles are a step up from the thinnest instant ramen options. Both James and I said we’d buy this one again.
