This is a Vietnamese ramen that tastes very similar to the pho instant noodles I had recently. It has a decent beef flavor, though James thought it tasted a bit like Mama noodles. We could taste strong hints of the Vietnamese cinnamon in it.
Produce in Vietnam.
I really liked the potato noodles since they were sturdy and chewy. I felt like they did a great job holding up to the broth. The noodles are slightly more yellow than other instant noodles I’ve seen probably because of the egg that is included.
Overall, it’s a solid, comforting bowl. It’s a basic flavor that you can easily be built upon with different toppings.
To elevate it, I would add traditional pho toppings. Thinly sliced beef, fresh herbs, and bean sprouts would all be nice additions.

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.
