Namja Ramyun - New Korean Hot Ramen 4.06 Ounce X 5 packs

I, probably like you, am a big, no HUGE, ramen fan. I ordered a 5-pack and just finished the last one. The noodles have great texture. I use a bit more water than with other ramens. The broth ends up being pretty thick. The flavor is good, with a fair amount of garlic, however it's a bit on the salty side. As far a heat goes, I feel this is as hot as any ramen I've had. It's spicier than Nongshim Gormet Spicy and better tasting, but also twice the price. The vegetable pack is small and lackluster. I consider this ramen comparable, yet inferior, to Nongshim Shin Black. It's still a five star ramen and I will order it again. I will just be ordering more of my other favorite ramens first. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

This is delicious! Very garlic-y and spicy which is a combo I truly enjoy. The packaging is in Korean so the cooking instructions are pretty basic with the English translations included on the packet.I'd personally cook it like this:(For more broth) Boil 3 cups of water and add seasoning packets, let that cook in the water for a minute, then add noodles and cook on the highest heat for 3-4 minutes or until the noodles are to your preferred tenderness.(For less broth) Boil 2-2 1/2 cups of water and add seasoning packets, let that cook in the water for a minute, then add noodles and cook on the highest heat for 3-4 minutes or until the noodles are to your preferred tenderness.It was a great ramen all in all and I would recommend this to anyone. The only draw back is the price point. This is damned expensive for just 5 packs of ramen.

Very good in the category of Korean instant noodles. There are actually slices of dried garlic in the dry vegetable packet which makes it more garlicky than the others noodles. The texture of the noodles is not too soft when cooked right and the broth is not too spicy. A tip to new instant noodle "chefs", simmer the noodles for a few minutes until they are al dente, slightly chewy.

A tip to new instant noodle "chefs", simmer the noodles for a few minutes until they are al dente, slightly chewy. During the simmer, you can add vegetables or anything that will cook quickly. Add your flavor packets near the end for maximum flavor. Let the noodles cool down slightly and the seasonings will absorb into the noodles. It is important that the noodles are not left too long in the hot broth or else the texture will change to mush. Finally, as delicious as it is, for your well being, I don't recommend you eat any instant noodles daily.

I just ate these and I'm pretty happy with them. Noodle is good. The dried veg packet actually has sliced dehydrated garlic so the garlic flavor is strong with this one. The seasoning packet is, as usual, super salty and overpowering so if you've still got functioning taste buds you should consider using 1/2-3/4 of a packet. It's still reasonably spicy but tasty spicy, not stupid spicy. Add a protein and some frozen veg and you are good to go.

The texture of these noodles are great! They have a very smooth texture unlike the ramen you get at the supermarket for $0.97. These are not as doughy and goes very nicely with the soup. The powder has a sharp spicy taste which some people may not like. I dont ming it since you can adjust the amount of powder you put in. However I am giving it a 3 stars because they give you another packet that includes herbs and mushrooms but the only put like maybe 3 pieces of mushroom about 2 cm long or just extra thin. I wish they would include more because it really goes well with the soup and it is pretty pricey.Would I buy this again? No. I just feel that the price does not justify the ramen because I could get a variety pack of indome ramen which is (in my opinion) better for about $16-20 for a 30 pack. That comes out to be about $0.50 a pack while these are around $2.50 per pack. They shouldnt charge you so much for just noodles and powder!

An excellent ramen, especially easy to prepare. Just pour on boiling water, cover and let it sit 5 minutes.Has very good noodles, slightly thicker and less oily than the usual. Includes a veggie packet, with real sliced garlic as well as a very dense flavor broth packet. Not overly spicy, probably tuned to American tastes. .Throw in an egg and maybe some bean sprouts if you feel ambitious, but they are not essential.

I’m a fan of spicy noodles but these were not that good to me at all. The garlic is pretty strong. I have had better. Would not purchase again.
