Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black with Premium Beef Broth, 4.58 Ounce (Pack of 10)

This is the best of the Shin ramen and probably all of the packaged ramens. Creamy slightly spicy.

Absolutely the best ramen I've ever had from a bag, bowl, or otherwise; the only ramen that can even compare is ramen I've had from local joints here in the LA area, but I feel this is just as good, at only a fraction of the price. I originally thought it was a bit expensive, at $16.90 for a 10 pack, but for $1.69 for a bowl of restaurant quality ramen, it's a superb deal. I prepared it using the microwave method with a microwaveable pyrex bowl and poured it into a normal bowl I have for large soups (this prepares a LOT of ramen, so get a big bowl!) and chopped some medium boiled eggs into it. The broth is the real star of the show here, a nice, hearty meal that really helped with some cold symptoms I've been fighting recently, and the noodles are thick and filling, just like those from a restaurant. There aren't too many freeze-dried vegetables in there, but I found the mushrooms and scallions to taste good, the ones that were included. Fresh mushrooms/scallions would be good to add in the future, I imagine, as well as slices of beef. Very, very worth the money; I went ahead and bought another ten pack while they're still at a relatively low price! Easily the king of instant ramen soups, of all the ones I've had, and, while regular Shin is great, this is just on another level. It's not AS spicy, for those expecting some extra spice; you might need to use a bit less water for that, but then the noodles might not cook properly.

Great noodles. Wonderful flavor. Comes with bone broth powder, spicy powder and veggies packet.

Easy to cook, eat as is or add in what you want :). Getting hubby used to "RAMEN"-he's on board now ;).

High quality, good flavor, hard to find, expensive.

As I have had a sinus infection it seems forever I have been eating these noodles it seems more then once a week. Who knew that from a package of noodles you would get such great flavor. As I eat only eat one meal a day (health reason) I have two of the packages and I am very satisfied. The spice helps so much with my sinus infection. No meds seem to help more than a cup of these noodles. They are not too spicy where you can’t eat them but certainly spicy enough that I have a water next to me when eating lol. I can eat a long hot pepper without any issue and these noodles are spicier than the pepper. I just don’t like food when the spice is too hot to enjoy the flavor. They noodles always come perfect not crushed or opened. They will remain a constant in our pantry as my son loves them as well. It is perfect for a quick meal when to tired to cook and tired of ordering out and spending $100 or more for a meal for 3. These truly are the best brand and the only place I have been able to source them with no issues. I have rarely written a review a handful at best but I love these oodles so much I felt compelled lol.

I love this ramen, but this gives my SO bad stomach problems, so I suggest trying it first before you order a bunch.

These amazing noodles. This variety has a much higher quality noodle with a nice chew. There are "vegetables" included but they are really just shaved mushroom and a bit of green onion. You could easily add some pea pods or bean sprouts to get a few vitamins. The "black" variety is spicier than the other Nongshim Shin Big Bowl Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 3.03 Ounce (Pack of 12) both have a great beef flavor. You get a much bigger block of noodles in the Black variety - and if you're watching your calories, you need to know that each package is considered two servings. If you eat the whole thing, it's a 560 calorie meal that's not really providing you with the quality of nutrients you need.We eat these occasionally - usually at the end of a really long day when neither of us can work up the energy to cook something. We love them!
