Nissin Cup Noodles Ramen Bistro Korean Gochujang Beef is the third and currently final product I'm reviewing from the Ramen Bistro line, and it's also supposed to be the spiciest of the three. Since this flavor originally came out in 2024, Nissin has launched its Top Ramen HotPot Fusions line, which also features a spicy Korean beef variety. I wonder if this variety uses the same flavoring as that one, or if it will be a different recipe. Let's find out!
Nissin Cup Noodles Ramen Bistro Sichuan Garlic Chicken is the next flavor I'm tackling in the Ramen Bistro lineup, and I think it's probably the most interesting of the three, especially given the flavor issue I had with the Japanese Miso variety. A lot of the time you'll find Sichuan spices paired with beef, but in this case we've got a chicken broth instead. This should be interesting.
Nissin Cup Noodles Ramen Bistro Japanese Miso Flavor is the first review I’m doing of this Ramen Bistro product line, which was launched back in 2024. I was hoping to do a video mega-review of the whole product line, but you know how it goes, other things have taken priority. There are currently three products in this line, all of them featuring chili-infused noodles with what Nissin promises are “bold flavors” and “hearty vegetables.” Don’t worry, I will be reviewing all three products in this line, but let’s start with this one first.
Here's all the noteworthy noodle news you may have missed in May 2026. There's another manufacturer recall to report, a brand-new collaboration product line, an expansion of one of Maruchan's newest product lines, and an exciting addition to the Shin Ramyun lineup for its 40th anniversary. Read on for all the news!
Here's one I should have reviewed a long time ago: Nongshim Neoguri Spicy Seafood Stir-Fry Noodles. If you never watched my 25th episode spectacular from way back when, I pitted the soup versions of Neoguri against each other, Korean export vs. American manufactured, and it was a pretty interesting experiment and it gives you an idea as to what Neoguri's all about. Basically, it's a thick-noodled spicy beef and seafood broth concoction not too dissimilar from jjambbong, and it's also available in this stir-fry form if you prefer something brothless.
Today’s review is going to be a quick little examination of a hot, pun intended, new flavor from Maruchan and Frito-Lay. This is a new collaboration between them: Maruchan Instant Lunch Flamin’ Hot Chicken Ramen.
It has been quite a while since I touched Maggi noodles, so when I saw these Maggi Classic Masala Noodles in my local Grocery Outlet (along with a couple other flavors that I'll get to eventually), I thought it was high time to revisit the brand. Now, just as before, this comes with the standard warning: Maggi is owned by Nestle, and Nestle has done enough terrible things to warrant a #fucknestle hashtag on social media, so you are well within your rights to not want to support the company. Having purchased these from an outlet store, the minimum amount of money possible was exchanged between me and Nestle for the purposes of this review. With all that said up front, read on for the review.
Today’s review is not technically an instant noodle, but it is certainly part of the instant noodle universe. These are brand new from Samyang: Buldak Mac n' Cheese Sweet Corn Flavor and Carbonara Flavor.
Here's all the noteworthy noodle news you may have missed in April 2026. And it looks like April must be a heavy month for noodle makers because there's a bunch of new product announcements to get through. Read on for all the info I've gathered this month!
A few weeks back, I had my first taste of Kang Shi Fu with their Braised Beef flavor, so now I'm moving onto the next bowl of theirs in my pile: Kang Shi Fu Hot & Spicy Artificial Beef Flavor Noodles. I'm not entirely sure as I write this introduction if this is simply a spicy version of the braised beef flavor or something more removed from that flavor profile, but either way this seems to be a pretty popular flavor of theirs.
