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.

I enjoyed trying it and I liked the dried garlic slices. The noodle itself would be better if it was chewier. Also I have a pretty low spice tolerance so it was spicy for me. Overall I liked it but I am not sure if I’ll buy it again. I also bought the mushroom one and I have higher hopes for that. 6 out of 10.
Didn’t enjoy this one at all, unfortunately 🙁 everything felt artificial and the garlic had an odd after taste. Oiliness of the pasta made it gross. Sauce packets smelled weird…
Samyang should stick to noodles. 🍜
