The Paldo Premium Gomtang Noodles is a South Korean import based on seolleongtang. It’s the traditional Korean ox bone broth that’s slow-simmered until it turns milky white. James and I both went in curious since we both haven’t tried this yet.
Produced in South Korea.
What’s in the Package
Inside the packaging, you will find a rectangular block of wheat noodles along with two distinct sachets. There is a dry flake packet containing dried green onions and a liquid soup base sachet.
How to Cook Paldo Premium Gomtang Noodles
- Put the noodles, soup base, and dried onions into the boiling water (500cc) and simmer for 3 minutes till the noodles are tender.
- Stir the noodles and ready to serve.
How Does It Taste
The broth is clean, savory, and warm in the way a good bone broth should feel. The milky white color is there and it’s comforting from the first sip. What it’s missing is the intense beefy punch you’d expect from something labeled premium. It’s pleasant but a little one-dimensional on its own.
The noodles are a Paldo highlight as always. Soft, white, and substantial in a way that feels like a warm hug alongside the mellow broth. James and I both agreed the noodle quality is what elevates this bowl beyond where the broth alone would take it.
How Does It Compare
The Kang Shi Fu Chicken with Mushroom Soup Noodle is the closest parallel on the site in terms of a clean, mild, comfort-forward broth. The Kang Shi Fu has the shiitake mushroom depth to carry it further on its own. The Paldo Gomtang is cleaner and more neutral. The Paldo Gompaghetti from the same brand is a completely different direction but shows the range Paldo has across their lineup.
How to Level Up Paldo Premium Gomtang Noodles
I would add generous amounts of both black pepper and salt. Traditional seolleongtang is always finished with black pepper at the table and this instant version needs it just as much. I would also add seaweed and sliced beef more more beefy flavor.
Final Verdict
The Paldo Premium Gomtang Noodles is a comforting bowl but it doesn’t quite reach the depth the premium label suggests.

It’s not spicy and the broth is very rich. It’s a creamy, garlicky chicken flavor. Although I love spicy ramen, I would not pass on this one.
