Black Garlic “Chicken” Ramen – Bold Flavor, Chewier Noodles & High Protein – Vegan, Keto-Friendly Ramen Noodles – Low Carb, Zero Sugar – Healthy Plant-Based Ramen Bowl, 6-Pack

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered these noodles after reading the reviews. First off; let me acknowledge that they are definitely pricey! However, I try to follow a keto-friendly diet, and I experience a lot of digestive issues when I eat carbohydrates. The low carb content and natural ingredients of these noodles ultimately sold me on this purchase. I have only tried the spicy beef flavor, thus far. The size of individual package was similar to other ramen brands. Based on the recommendations of other reviewers, I opted for a longer cooking time than listed on the directions. I will opt to do this again, as a 10-13 minute cooking time resulted in noodles that were soft without being mushy. I read several reviews that these noodles are better when fried, so I set aside a small amount of the boiled and seasoned noodles to try, while I fried the remainder and added an egg. Although both versions were good, I personally preferred the boiled noodles. The texture was consistent with ramen noodles. The spicy beef seasoning was flavorful, with a bit of an expected kick to it. I did not add salt or other seasonings to the noodles, nor did they seem overly salty. The meal was filling, and the low carbohydrate content did not leave me feeling sick to my stomach. I will update as needed upon trying other flavors, but I’m pleased with this purchase so far. Yes, the price point is high, but it is less costly than ordering ramen from a restaurant, and a much healthier alternative to the popular store brands.

I got this very hopeful that it'll be good and good for me. I Love instant ramen as I've been eating it for years so when I heard of this I was excited. I got the package B bundle and I started with the creamy chicken So many was that a huge mistake. See the noodles themselves are a little strange being dark green but as they are plant based that was expected. I cooked it exactly as the directions say on the back with no added ingredients or anything so I can get the full flavor of what I could add the next time. The noodles after boiled were interesting to say the least, the unflavored noodles, while a little stiff weren't too bad. The seasoning packet on the other hand was horrendous. When I opened it up it smelled like rotten meat and when I gave the smell the benefit of the doubt I added it to the noodles as it says on the directions to be when I can only describe as a smell bomb to my entire house, the smell of the seasoning packet mixed with the noodles was exactly the same smell as burning rubber I am not exaggerating at all when I say this. This smell filled up my entire house and it was so bad that it made me and my other roommates gag. I took a leap of faith and tasted it as maybe it just smells bad but it tastes exactly as it smells. I took one bite and almost vomited. I'm immediately looking to get a refund DO NOT BUY THIS or at least the creamy Chicken flavor as I am too terrified to try the spicy red miso or the pork tonkatsu for fear of their smells

I’m on a low-carb diet, but I’m also half-Asian and not being able to have noodles or rice has been really hard. These noodles take a little bit longer to cook than your typical instant ramen and while they don’t taste exactly the same, the texture and flavor is very close to the real thing. The dry noodles don’t really have a noticeable smell and the amount of noodles you get in a packet is comparable to most instant ramen brands. My favorite is Tom Yum - I usually only use half of the seasoning packet to reduce the sodium, but I add other things to enhance the flavor, like chili garlic crisp, green onions, and shrimp (or whatever protein I’m feeling). For the broth, I combine chicken stock, coconut milk, coconut aminos, a little bit of fish sauce, plus fresh ground pepper and monk fruit sweetener to finish. Once the broth is boiling, I add the noodles, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 9 minutes - I’ve found this results in the perfect al dente texture. I love being able to have noodles again and these are super filling and satisfying - perfect for lunch when I’m working from home or for a quick dinner when I don’t want to make a huge meal. Due to the cost, I only purchase a pack of 6 once a month as subscription - this way I get a discount. I know they are expensive, but they’re a small company and this is a specialty product. I would say if you’re not on a particular diet, just get regular instant noodles. Don’t get me wrong, these are really good for being low-carb, but nothing beats the real thing!

Would have given 5 stars but they shipped the wrong item and no one has contacted me. I ordered the variety pack and they shipped only pork.. Update: First pack I followed the instructions on the package and it was inedible. After reading more reviews online I made it like normal ramen- Boiling water (noodles only) for 5 minutes. Add flavor packet, salt, onion powder, more salt, and then left soak for another 5 minutes. The noodles became soft and absorbed all the flavor of the packet. No weird flavors, textures, and actually really good. First review: I am so disappointed. I so badly wanted healthy Ramen. This product is bordering on inedible. The taste of the broth is very bland, and the texture of the "noodles" is spongy and pathetic. And we haven't even got to the crazy price. I was willing to pay the price if they were amazing. Sadly they aren't.

Like many of us here, I kept seeing ads for Immi Ramen on Instagram and, like so many, I also read a ton of reviews. I finally fell for the marketing saturation and decided to give them a try—despite the price tag which caused me to pass many times before. I went for the variety pack, which includes Spicy Beef, Black Garlic Chicken, and Tom Yum Shrimp. The noodles themselves have a texture that reminds me a bit of buckwheat noodles, though they’re firmer and have more bite. They’re quite neutral in flavor and take longer than traditional ramen to soften and soak up the broth. I find that adding an extra cup of water (making it 3 cups total) while cooking for about 8 minutes helps (as I prefer some broth in my ramen bowls) as the noodles tend to absorb a lot of liquid. I was intrigued by the fact that these noodles are made from pea protein, and I have to say, the portion size is filling. I’ve been adding a soft-boiled egg, some finely chopped scallions, cilantro, and my personal touch—a generous drizzle of Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauce (I have four varieties, LOL!) —for extra flavor. As for the flavors, here’s my breakdown: Spicy Beef: It’s decent, but not a standout for me. Black Garlic Chicken: I had high hopes for this one, but the flavor wasn’t as bold as I’d anticipated. Tom Yum Shrimp: Surprisingly, this one impressed me the most! It had the most robust flavor, with no fishy taste at all (and it’s completely vegan). Overall, while they’re okay, I can’t fully justify the cost. If they were priced closer to $4 a package, I might consider buying more. At over $6 pushing $6.50 a pop, though, it feels a little steep for pea flour noodles. The upside is that I do feel like I’m making a typically unhealthy meal a bit more nourishing, so there’s that!

Okay. The FB ads got me on this one. I kept seeing this stuff over and over. I read a lot of reviews. The cost stopped me more than once and then I finally gave in. I got the variety pack. 2 Spicy Beef, 2 Tom Yum Shrimp, and 2 Black Garlic Chicken. The noodles themselves are as close to actual Ramen as possible without being ramen. They don't have much of a flavor themselves and do take a little longer than normal ramen to absorb the flavors of the broth but the texture is good with both stovetop and microwave methods. There's no need to be critical here. It's a healthy noodle. My inner-carb-lover is satisfied and they are super filling portions that keep you full. Now for the flavors Beef: It's good. Imagine a slightly muted version of regular beef flavored ramen. I'm okay with it. It's less sodium. It's a good flavor, just not strong. Black garlic chicken: For sure my favorite of the three. Great flavor. Same as above as far as being kind of muted flavor but it's not in a bad way. I do recommend letting the noodles sit for a bit in the broth before diving in. You can always add in your own toppings for more flavor, which I did my second go around but my review is for the product on it's own. Tom Yum Shrimp: It's a solid no for me. This one honestly tasted like how I imagine cleaning products taste. It's weird and I do usually like shrimp-flavored things. Conclusion: Overall I'm not mad about the purchase. It was good. If you are keto and miss ramen, this will hit for you. For me, it's way too expensive for what it is. There are many positive elements about this when looking at it as a meal because it is healthy. Unfortunately, the cost will keep me from buying it in the future. It's worth maybe $4 a package and I'd consider at that price for a regular lunch item but definitely not $6.50.

The ultimate yuck! I was thrilled to stumble upon an ad for this brand, as my husband and I have been looking for healthier quick options to have at home--but especially as an asian woman myself, I wanted to give this company my business. Although the product arrived promptly, well packaged, and as described, the ramen itself was downright disgusting. I'll break down the experience my husband and I shared. Preparation: Easy to prepare, typical packaged, at home ramen. My husband and I used a stove top to prepare the noodles as directed on the packet. Flavor: What I imagine cardboard would taste like. No chicken, salt, or authentic taste whatsoever, just bland water. The smell of the ramen itself is telling of how it tastes, which to us, was an off putting scent, almost reminiscent of body odor, quite frankly. Noodle texture: Chalky. Not sure of what other word is as accurate to use but these noodles are dense and feel like they're made from unmixed ingredients, rather than feeling smooth. My husband notes that the noodles are the worst part of the ramen, that while the broth isn't great, the noodles just make it that much more inedible. Other notes: While there is less sodium, the saturated fat content is notably higher (9g, 45% daily value) compared to a cheaper brand, ie, Top Ramen (7g, 33% daily value). Although the numbers aren't extreme, they're worth considering, as Immi prides itself on being an all-around healthier option. Conclusion: We couldn't even finish the chicken ramen and my husband and I are debating tossing the rest of our variety pack because of how negative our experience was, seriously, this was revolting ramen. However, considering how overpriced they are, we're torn, and are considering at least trying the two other flavors (beef and shrimp) and if we do, will update accordingly. Update: We desired, for our own well being to not try the other two flavors and tossed them in the trash.

I find these very tasty! I throw in a packet of nori, sometimes some hot sauce or a little bit of soy sauce. The texture is a little bit different from the 17 cent packets of ramen, but I actually like it better! And I definitely like the nutrient profile better. These make a great, easy lunch or snack. My kids like them too. The price certainly isn't 17 cents, but it still makes an affordable and satisfying lunch.
