Maruchan Instant Lunch Hot & Spicy Chicken Flavor, 2.25 Oz, Pack of 12

Very delicious, and the price at first was stellar. But since the price has doubled and made it unaffordable for what you get. ($12 is a fair price)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fire-Level Flavor, Zero Effort Hot & Spicy Beef Instant Lunch Review — Tiny Cup, Massive Personality The Maruchan Instant Lunch Hot & Spicy Beef Bowl is the microwave lunch version of a heroic pep talk. The noodles cook up soft, springy, and surprisingly consistent for a cup format. The Japanese-style broth brings a bold beef kick with real spice warmth, the kind that says “hot & spicy” and actually means it. It has that addictive meaty, peppery, slightly savory-sweet punch that hits your taste receptors like a respectful-but-firm alarm clock. Heat level is legit — not melt-your-spoon volcanic, but noticeably spicy enough to wake up tired taste buds without ruining the mission. It’s a great base for adding extras too — like scallions, garlic powder, chili flakes, or a boiled egg if you want to turn it into a cup of spicy ambition. 🍜 Best for: Fast lunches that need bold flavor Travelers, office drawers, or emergency hunger moments Spice lovers who want convenience Zero-pot, zero-drain meal rituals 👍 Pros: ✔ Strong beef flavor with a real spicy edge ✔ Cooks fast and reliably ✔ Broth tastes rich for cup ramen ✔ No mushy noodle betrayal ✔ Affordable, grab-and-sip convenience ✔ Easy to upgrade with toppings ⚠ Cons / Tips: • Beef base is great, but salt and spice potency mean hydration helps after eating. • If you want chef-level broth depth, toss in a dash of soy sauce or extra seasoning — standard ramen creativity. Bottom line: If you want a fast, flavorful, hot & spicy beef ramen cup that saves time and actually delivers spice power, this one is a 5-star mood. It’s bold, easy, and perfect for daily use or backup snack strategy. Would absolutely restock again! 😎🥣🔥🍜👏✅

Love these cups for a quick lunch or dinner. Great tasting, very quick to fix and great price! I have been eating these for years and they are my favorite!

High salt content which can be diluted with extra water or by adding vegetables to it, the chicken flavor is spot on as is the spice when mentioning the spice, it isn't as spicy where it will make my nose run or my eyes water nor will you need a glass of milk to wash down this soup. The size of these soup cups are meant to be a single serving size they prepare in about 3 minutes if I'm using hot steaming water when my hot/cold water dispenser was still working that too has the hot enough water to cook the noodles quickly in 3 minutes so I think it's a super easy food to eat the only bad things about this soup is the corn stay firm even after steaming for the 3minutes and the saltiness.

The portion size is just right for a light late night snack or a small meal, and it satisfies hunger without feeling too heavy. The noodles cook quickly and have a nice texture, which makes it convenient when I want something fast. The flavor is mild, and I was hoping for a stronger seafood taste to match the shrimp style. It is still enjoyable, but it could use a bit more seasoning or richness in the broth. One drawback is that the cup is not microwave safe, so I always need to boil water separately and pour it in. If the packaging were microwave friendly, it would make preparation much more convenient. Overall, this is a good option for quick meals, especially when I need something simple and easy.

I love ramen noodles, it’s convenient, cheap, and a nice meal in the winter time. I recommend not forgetting to put the water in because it will burn the cup and smoke will fill the kitchen (past experience from when I was 8 lol)

Worth the price when they are 5-6 dollars. If you see them higher than,that wait if you can.They always come in fast whether it is on autoship or the 2 day shipping. Same great taste as usual, and never had one opened, and they are neatly packaged if you dont want them to be seen.

this is my back up when I don’t have left overs to take to work. I sometimes wish i don’t have left overs to take, just because this ramen is sooo good. It’s a great price for what you get as well. Very easy to make and takes a minute or two to make, I just use hot water from a coffee maker. Perfect spice level.
