The Big List of Buldak

Buldak is such a popular brand that its fans try to seek out every single flavor that has ever existed to make sure they can try them all. On Reddit, I’ve been maintaining an active list of all known flavors and their status. You can find that list below, along with links to my reviews of each one I’ve tried.

Anyway… cheesy instant noodles. I think cheese may be the most divisive ingredient I’ve ever encountered in instant noodles (aside from all the stuff in the gimmick flavors out there). Here we have Maruchan combining a cheese sauce with their yakisoba noodles into what I’m imagining is going to be a glorified mac and cheese with minimal-to-no Asian flavors.
