Do not consume the water you boil the noodles in. Very salty!

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019

These noodles taste great; perfect for tonkotsu ramen. First time, I boiled the noodles separately from the soup broth. Second time, I thought I would get a little thicker broth by cooking the noodles and the broth in the same pot. Huge mistake! I didn't understand why the whole ramen tasted so salty. When I checked the nutritional label for the noodles, I found just one bundle (one serving) had 1.57mg of sodium -- 68% of daily value! You must discard the water after boiling the noodles, unless you want to OD on sodium for some reason. I can't believe just the noodles alone can have so much sodium content. Next time, I'm not making this mistake again.

False information

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2019

Noodles were received in good condition and the flavor was excellent.

I can't in good conscience give higher than 3 stars as the nutrition info in the product photos is not what I received. The serving size, as well as ratio of nutrients, has changed. I've attached the nutrition info for the item I received on 5/9/19. If this matched the nutrition info in the product description photos my review would be 5-stars.

Asian grocer sells for $4.49 per package!

It's delicious but the local Asian grocer sells one pack for $4.49. That works out to $0.17/oz.

Yes, you CAN use them for instant noodle type soup, but...

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019

Yes, you CAN use them for instant noodle type soup, but you have to follow a few steps. We have a water cooler that does hot water; now, it's not boiling, but it's pretty damn hot, so short of throwing things in the microwave, it does the job with instant soup mixes, oatmeal, and cocoa.

I was looking for a noodle that I could use to replace the cup of ramens I was eating occasionally (for better taste, less sodium, just generally trying to find a healthier option so I wouldn't feel so guilty eating them in the first place). Other reviews mentioned the saltiness and if you taste the noodle before cooking, it's pretty salty. I was experimenting with making it in a standard size coffee mug because that's about right for a small thing of soup.

Anyway, a whole bundle will NOT fit in a cup. Don't even try. I can get about 2/3 of a bundle into one, snapping off short 2" sections from the bundle and putting them in upright. If it looks a too crowded in the cup, it probably is, especially since you need to take into consideration that the water still has to go in, along with anything you might want to add later, and the noodles will expand a little. Then I put the hot water from the water cooler in the cup and cover the cup (I don't really have anything suitable at work, so I just use a paper napkin and make sure it doesn't dunk into the water). Let stand about 4-6 mins., depending on how you like your noodles, and then drain the water. Not all of it, just most, so the noodles are still a little wet, but not swimming. It keeps them from sticking together. Draining gets rid of the majority of the salt and leaving a little behind makes sure there's still some of the starches from the noodles, along with the salt, that stays behind for flavor. I suppose if you wanted to get rid of even more of the salt, you could use cold water to rinse, but it's excessive for my personal tastes. Then I dump in my package of instant miso soup in the cup, fill with hot water, and let everything sit for a couple of minutes before eating.

I've also tried it with the microwave, which gives you faster results and seems to cook the noodles a little better, but you have to watch it a little more because if the water boils, you'll have a noodle-y mess. Now I'm looking forward to working toward a full blown ramen, with the veggies and meats and different soup base flavors!

Unbelievable, Best Ramen Ever!

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020

Size: 1.58 Pound (Pack of 2)Verified Purchase

We have many Ramen bistros, restaurants, cafes in the Houston, TX area. These ramen noodles are about as close as what you get in a ramen restaurant. When I ordered these, back before CV19, I was actually concerned about the origination of the order, or their shelf life. All of those concerns were quickly dissipated when I tasted my first batch. while my broth and prep may take some time, I generally go the long route and make a large enough amount to last for several bowls. I've also gotten pretty good at making the Tamago (eggs). purchasing the nori (seaweed), and additional green chives, and yes I add bean sprouts, and sliced water chestnuts are also my different niche on my ramen bowls. So, don't hesitate, go buy these you won't be sorry!

perfect texture when cooked properly.

Absolutely the best pre-made noodle I've been able to find for ramen. I've search every Asain market in my area and haven't found a decent noodle for ramen, and I don't have time to make my own, as often as I eat ramen. These are worth every cent and every day that you have to wait to have them delivered.

I love having these on hand

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018

Size: 1.58 Pound (Pack of 2)Verified Purchase

I have used these so many times since ordering. They boil for three to four minutes and are ready to go. I have never needed to add salt to the boiling water either. These have a nice, subtle flavor. They aren't overly starchy where they glue together immediately after draining. The most common thing I've used them in seems to be peanut sesame noodles, but most recently in Mongolian Beef with ramen. I will say that the noodle bundles are in an awkward size as far as ounces my recipes call for. I'm either using an additional .5-1.5 oz of noodles, or I'm opening a new little bundle and leaving loose noodles in the main package.

I brought these to make yakisoba cuz I was so disappointed to the yakisoba in some fake Japanese restaurants. It turns out that I make the right decision, the yakisoba is better than those in some Japanese restaurant.

I am using these noodles in meal prep and I really enjoyed them. After having Ramen in Japan, they are so similar to the noodles I actually got while I was there. Additionally, they took so little time to cook which with a hectic lifestyle is perfect. A much better option that is just as easy as the packets, but a great price and a healthier option.

the better ramen

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020

Size: 1.58 Pound (Pack of 2)Verified Purchase

these are great noodles. they cook up to a perfect ramen al dente rather than the softer texture of the widely sold block packets (which become soft and gummy in the bowl). each packet contains eight bundles of noodles, tightly wrapped in a thin gold lettered band. your mileage may vary, but I found half the noodles in a bundle made a good single bowl of ramen. no flavor packets provided; i mix 1-1/2 cups of chicken stock (or water with a dab of chicken boullion) with 1/2 tablespoon of mirin, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a dash of mongolian fire oil. add a "ramen boiled" egg, seaweed, protein garnish and it's a good to go single meal for the day.
