Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Instant Ramen (Tonkotsu)

We try different brands of instant ramen when we go grocery shopping in Little Tokyo (LA) and this, so far, is the best we've found. If you make it according to the instructions, and add a few extras — takuan, boiled egg, spinach, seaweed, kameboko... whatever you like — it seriously tastes almost as good as the ramen houses we go to when we have more time.One weird thing is when you're cooking it, the tonkatsu style kind of stinks. First time I made it I thought maybe the flavor pack had gone bad, but I went for it anyway and I think it's just the oil. Every one I've made to date smells the same but tastes delicious. And the quality of dried noodles is much better than your 99-cent packs. This brand is well worth the extra buck. I believe the guy on the package is a famous chef in Japan and possibly is the creator of the original Iron Chef program, but not totally sure about that and too lazy to Google, tbh.

I have tried them all, best instant ramen...ever!

I don't know that this is worth the money of ordering here and paying for shipping, but this is the best instant ramen I've tried. The soup ends up very rich tasting and satisfying, and the noodles have a better texture than most others. I have started doing a 7-minute soft boiled egg and brining in soy sauce/mirin to have on hand for ramen, and it goes really well with this soup. If I find these locally, I'll definitely buy again.

My wife & I are big ramen fans. I've had it in the US and Japan. I have to say, for the cost and convenience, these are absolutely fantastic! Throw some veges in there, with Chashu and it'll be better than some restaurants where you're paying upwards of $20. If you want cheap, quick and simple, some diced up firm tofu also goes well.

I love ramen. I've never been to Japan, but there are some excellent restaurants in our area that serve ramen. These noodles have just the right tooth and the broth is delicious. They're not cheap but you get what you pay for. My go-to quick lunch!

I love ramen and have eaten a lot of ramen in restaurants in the US and in Japan. I even like a number of packaged brands. On first try, the Momosan Instant Ramen in the Tonkotsu flavor is much better than the Tokyo Chicken flavor. However, similar to my review for Tokyo Chicken, the Tonkotsu flavor is also overpowering when I followed the cooking instructions on the packaging. On second try, I doubled the amount of water per the cooking instructions and the taste improved significantly. However, I don't love these ramen. I have had much better packaged ramen in terms of quality and taste for less money. But, even if these noodles are far less expensive, I doubt I would buy them again simply because they really do not standout as anything special.

The oil and spice packets are very flavorful. The amount of ramen is perfect for one serving. Yummy! The instructions on how to make it are spot on. If I'm having instant noodles...this is the one.

I bought this (and the chicken flavor as well) after seeing a Youtube family try it. They claimed it tasted just as good as a restaurant, and I have to say, I think I agree. For being instant ramen, they nailed the broth flavor pretty darn well. It's a great substitute if you can't make it to a restaurant. Just jazz it up with an egg and some veggies, and you're good to go! We accompanied ours with pork tonkatsu and it was the perfect dinner.
