This spicy ramen is a solid step up from the original cheese variety, offering a flavor that is remarkably similar to Kraft Mac & Cheese. That’s the first thing that James and I noticed. It delivers a nostalgic taste while maintaining that signature Buldak character.

Produced in South Korea.

The texture is creamy thanks to the blend of cheese powder and milk ingredients. While the spice level is a bit lower than other varieties in the line, it still packs a spicy punch that is balanced by the richness of the four cheeses. The noodles provide a satisfying chew and hold onto the sauce perfectly.

The spice was on par with the other Buldak ramens that we tried. It’s about a medium spicy level.

To level up this bowl even further, I would add a splash of cream. Incorporating some chopped hot dogs would also bring that classic “mac and cheese” feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine the spice level?

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!

What does “Broth Viscosity” mean?

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.

How do you rate “Noodle Thickness”?

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.

What do you mean by “Noodle Type”?

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.
