I picked up this instant ramen when I was in New York City. There’s an HMart in Ktown that I like to visit to check out their selection.
Produced in South Korea.
I got a strong mushroom taste on my first bite. And the spice is mild. Simply put, this is like a spicy mushroom broth.
It’s one note and while the overall flavor was just okay for me, it has a good foundation that could be improved with a few additions.
The noodles were a highlight for me. They’ve got a nice chew and they were sturdy against the broth. The packaging mentions that these are “never fried” noodles.
I would add some tangy kimchi and some minced garlic. Poached or sous vide chicken breast would be a good addition since it would complement the flavors of the broth.

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.
