This is my first time trying this brand’s stir-fry type of noodles. Immediately, you can definitely smell the seaweed coming from the seasoning packet. The flavor is quite salty and tastes like sweet soy sauce.
Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.
The noodles themselves are simple and have a good texture that holds up well to being tossed in the sauce without breaking or getting too mushy.
To level up these noodles, I’d add some thinly sliced steak for a satisfying, savory protein. A drizzle of sriracha would also be a great addition to cut through the sweetness and add a nice kick of heat.

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.
