ramen rating: chibaki chuukasoba
If you’re in Torrance this weekend, you can stop by Mitsuwa to try the real Chibakiya ramen. The rest of us can settle for the bowl ramen version of their chuukasoba. Seems like a poor substitute, doesn’t it? We’ll see…
ramen rating: cup noodles premium beef tomato
Cup Noodles’ new distinct black and white package caught my eye on a recent grocery expedition…whoa…Cup Noodles Premium?! Beef Tomato flavor!? Maruchan Tomato Ramen fans just might have a reason to rejoice. I couldn’t wait to try this!
ramen rating: ganso nagahamaya tonkotsu
This ramen advertises that it takes only 90 seconds to make! Just imagine…if you eat this ramen every day for a year, you can save…multiply…divide…divide again…a whopping 9 hours a year! (Compared to the typical 180 seconds (3 mins) that other bowl ramen need.) If that’s not enough to get you excited, what about the...
ramen rating
this is the tonkotsu version of this. the soup was much better and the meat is just as yummy as the shoyu version. the noodles seem just a little better than before, or maybe it’s because i cooked it longer this time. i give it an 8!
ramen rating: q-cup kyushu garlic
The made-in-Taiwan Q-cup ramen is a “Kyushu garlic” flavor (read tonkotsu and garlic) and features pig-faced naruto. I’ve always been a sucker for instant ramen with “piggy naruto”, though I never could figure out the relationship between pigs and naruto, but I digress. The bowl ramen is barely half the size of most other bowl...
ramen rating: marutai negi ramen
(Disclosure: I’m very sleepy, so if this review comes across as a bit loopy…well…you’ve been warned.) The-wife-is-away-so-I’m-eating-ramen-all-week week continues with this special ramen. It’s got “PH adjustment” and “antioxidant”! Really! Scroll down and look at the label for yourself! Oh, It looks like the tonkotsu ramen I had a few days ago also had antioxidant...
ramen rating: king car shoyu
Agh!! Get it off of me! Getitoffofme! — oh, sorry… Ahem…this is the kind of instant noodles that gives people nightmares. In the interest of saying something useful besides just warning people from this travesty, I find it interesting that, even though technically ramen “started” from China, then evolved into the Japanese version we’re all...
ramen rating: nomihosu tonkotsu
The wife is away, so let there be ramen! It seems like I can’t go wrong with instant tonkotsu ramen, so I was eager to try this cup ramen. The ramen comes with a few bits of seaweed, a sprinkling of sesame seeds, plenty of green onions, and a few pieces of pickled ginger to...
ramen rating: cup noodles souper meal shrimp
Have you read our review of Cup Noodles Souper Meal Beef Minestrone? If you have, there’s not much more to add. Like the Beef Flavor Minestrone version of the Souper Meal, this shrimp (with tomato and garlic flavor) is basically an over-sized Cup Noodles. The big difference between this flavor and the beef flavor is...
ramen rating: daikoku chigekara
This spicy miso-based ramen comes with your basic green onions and sesame seeds and that’s about it. It’s got a pretty generic spicy soup broth that reminds me a bit of Korean ramyun, but that’s about it. The noodles are hard (cook it for an extra minute or 2 because 3 minutes is not enough...
ramen rating: itomen banshu ramen
The lovely and gourmet-looking packaging lured me in. Wow! Deluxe noodles, exquisite shoyu…even the salt is special! How could I possibly pass this up! There’re special ingredients galore: large chunks of lightly grilled onions, miniature shrimp (yes! shrimp!), shiitake mushrooms! Visions of instant ramen nirvana floated through my head… I slowly poured the boiling water...
ramen rating: seabura tonkotsu ramen
Wow! The first thing you’ll notice when you open the lid is how many packets of goodies there are. It was almost like a magic trick of never-ending flavor packets. There are FIVE packets of ingredients: there’s the obligatory soup powder (aka MSG), the liquid soup base, a packet of fresh ginger, one for onions,...
ramen rating: myojo ippei-chan shoyu v2
I think this is just a repacked version of this. The noodles seem to be a little bit better this time around…maybe…but overall, this instant ramen is still pretty average. The soup is decent but not particularly flavorful, and whatever flavor it has is overwhelmed by garlic and msg. Be prepared to down a large...
ramen rating: myojo ippei-chan tonkotsu ramen
I reviewed the shoyu version a while ago. Time for the tonkotsu version! Well, the noodles are the same thin kind with a decent chewy texture. The soup isn’t exactly filled with with pork flavor and is a bit “msg-y” but decent…only decent. The soup is actually a tiny bit spicy for a tiny kick...
ramen rating: cup noodles beef flavor
Me: Guess what I’m reviewing next? Cup Noodles! Wife: Cup…Noodles…is there *anyone* in the world who hasn’t had Cup Noodles before? Why would you want to review something *everyone* has had before? Me: (silence…) Wife: sigh… First of all, I haven’t actually had Cup Noodles in quite a while. From what I remember though, only...
