NongshimRamen Noodles, Gourmet Instant Ramen, Premium Microwavable Noodle Soup, Spicy Shin, 4.23 Ounce (Pack of 20)

I've been searching for the "perfect" spicy noodle brand. One that has heat, genuine flavor, and is satisfying.And while I love Maruchan, this one might be the one I've been looking for.Perfect noodle thickness, nice and bouncy on the chew, simple instructions to make either firmer or softer noodles, and a delicious spicy broth that they swim in.Simply one of the best. I can't say enough good about these noodles, and they have to rank top 3 if not absolute number 1

This is the least expensive way to get this ramen. So good. A package of 4 is 7-8 dollars in the stores. I refuse to pay that much when I get much more for my money.

Extremely flavorful broth, but a touch on the spicy side. The noodles are the real winner. Thick, full, and with just enough give to the bite, it is hard to recommend any other brand over this.

To set the stage for my review, I do not make much fancy Japanese food of any kind, but I do like the dishes when I go to a restaurant. And we have always loved the cheap Nissin or Maruchan ramen noodle packs in Chicken flavor for a quick light snack or to take when traveling. While those ramen packs do not seem particularly oriental in any way, we do like them and had them in mind when we tried the Nongshim Gourmet Spicy Ramen.First, let me say that I am no stranger to spicy foods - I'm from the Southwest, and I love them. I have never found a dish that I turned away because it was either too hot or spicy. In fact, most folks I know do not enjoy eating foods as spicy as I do. Now that I have said that, I want to note for the reader that I find these QUITE spicy! I would think too spicy for most folks who do not think they really like spicy foods. While the actual palate heat of the dish is only mid-range, the spices used have a tendency to grab you in the back of the throat if you are not very careful how you swallow - lots of coughing can be the result!As for the flavor, I found it quite good, but not remarkable. The added vegetable packet seemed like a nice touch, but really didn't add much (the Nissin Cup Noodles have a lot more). For an instant noodle snack, I prefer the cheaper ramen packs. Perhaps these would be much better if doctored up as shown on the package and like many reviewers say they do, but then it wouldn't be just an instant soup for a light snack, would it?

I've tried countless instant ramens, but Shin Ramen remains my absolute go-to. The spice level is perfect - enough to wake up your taste buds without being overwhelming. What really sets these apart are the chunky vegetables and the rich, savory broth that tastes like it's been simmering for hours. I always keep a few packs in my pantry for quick lunches or late-night cravings. Even my Korean friend says these are the closest you can get to restaurant-quality instant ramen. Worth every penny for the upgrade from basic instant noodles!

I spent two years in South Korea while in the military. One of the first foods you will probably try when you go off post into the civilian population and stop at an eatery is to order their noodle soup. It seems more appetizing when you look at their menu and are unfamiliar with their food. I ordered a bowl of their noodles and have been hooked on them every since. They make it with a raw egg, some scallion pieces, and some red pepper flakes added to it. Since coming back to the states I've never been able to find anything that comes close in flavor. I've tasted all the cheaper brands on the shelves, chicken flavor, beef flavor, spicy, etc. It seemed like I was eating flavored cardboard. Over 30 years later I came across what I was looking for on a YouTube post by accident. They were grading the different kinds of Korean noodles by texture and flavor. I bought two different kinds that they were grading. One was the Buldak and the other one was the Shin. I bought both to give them a try. I liked the texture of the Buldak noodles but they were just too spicy and didn't have the right flavor I was looking for. I then tried the Shin noodles and knew immediately that I had hit the jackpot. The memories came flooding back after my first bite. Although it tastes just as great without the added ingredients they put in it in Korea, I still add those in. I don't put any scallions in but I do put a raw egg in it which seems to add to the flavor and gives you some protein. I now order these noodles by the case on this site. I highly recommend these noodles instead of those other brands. You will love the flavor.

These taste Great! A bunch of larger-than-usual packages in a 20-pack box full (I believe). The ounce size is larger than the usual Ramen Noodles type soup and they taste great! For the large serving, and the low price you can't go wrong. This type tastes like a hot, spicy chicken flavor and they have a beef flavor also. These are my favorite. I bought a microwaveable bowl from Amazon (with a cover) add water and heat for 4 to 5 minutes, let cool a bit, and enjoy!
