This Top Ramen flavor is a comforting choice for any ramen lover. It has a well-balanced flavor profile with a pronounced beef bouillon flavor. It’s not too salty and had a garlic powder undertone.
Produced in the United States. Distributed by Japan.
The noodles are thinner than other brands like Maruchan. Not much broth sticks to it since it’s a smoother noodle. James mentioned that there’s a distinct miso-like aftertaste that is unique to the Top Ramen brand.
To level up this ramen, I’d suggest adding some fresh and crunchy toppings like bean sprouts, onions, or scallions. For a bit of protein, hot dog or spam would be a great addition.

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.
