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.

Found this in the Aldi Finds section at my local Aldi, and as a huge fan of Snapdragon’s Pho instant noodle bowls… I was excited to dive in! The flavor is very familiar, heavy on the porky funk with rich umami and a hint of sweetness that can be a bit surprising at first. The noodles are springy and pick up the broth with ease. The package contains a liquid soup base, dried vegetables, and a seasoning oil that packs significantly less spice than in their Pho cup noodle. Overall a tasty cup ramen I’d enjoy again, perhaps with some ground beef and a healthy dosage of roasted garlic! Unless you’re a vampire at least lol

Thin noodles with a light texture. Very rich broth with medium to light amount of veggies and sesame seeds. Only wish it was a little cheaper and a larger serving, it doesn’t fill you up. But very delicious! College student approved!

Think about its overall taste (savory, sweet, sour), richness, and authenticity to the advertised flavor.
Think about their texture, consistency, and how well they held up in the broth.
