This ramen was a bit bland in my opinion. I mostly tasted chicken bouillon. And I didn’t think they were TOO hot and spicy…it was more of a quick-hitting heat that dissipates.
Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.
The noodles themselves were decent. It had a satisfying chewiness and it held up well to the broth.
To level up this bowl, I’d definitely recommend adding a fried egg for richness. A drizzle of chili oil would add some much-needed heat and depth, and fresh green onions would be a nice garnish.

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.

It’s not that spicy, you can taste the lime/sourness in it more.
