Samyang 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. A while back on Reddit, I started maintaining an active list of all known flavors and their status. You can now find that list here, along with links to my reviews of each one I've tried. This list does not include offshoot products like tteokbokki, dumplings, or hot sauce, but rather only focuses on noodle products.

Twisted Noodles Shrimp Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 193
Today's review is of one of the most poorly received instant ramen companies I've ever come across. This is Twisted Noodles Shrimp Ramen, in both cup and pack form. And given that a lot of people really seem to hate this brand, I might regret my life choices by the end of this review.

Samyang Samgyetang Ramen Soup Review | Noodle Journey Episode 192
Today I've got something super interesting from Samyang: Samgyetang Ramen Soup. This is super interesting to me because I love trying new things as you may well know and this product is Samyang's take on Samgyetang, which is a South Korean soup typically made with ginseng, garlic, and chicken. As I filmed this review, I was a little bit hoarse, so a hearty bowl of chicken soup sounded really good at the time.

Indomie Mi Goreng Rasa Rendang Review | Noodle Journey Episode 191
Today's review is something I've wanted to try for years and now I finally have some: Indomie Mi Goreng Rasa Rendang. Now I love Indomie products, and this one has eluded me for a long time. If you find yourself in Indonesia these are obviously very easy to come by and I have seen lots of Australian websites selling these and lots of other Indomie products that we don't get here in the States. If this review piques your interest and you want to score these check out eBay or make an online friend somewhere that these are sold. What stinks is that from what I can find this used to be included in Indomie's assortment of exports to the USA and for some reason that stopped happening several years back.

A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Cups Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 189
I’m revisiting this A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Cups collaboration products, this time focusing on the ramen noodle cups rather than the bowls reviewed back in Episode 178. While the branding might suggest these are the same products in different packaging, the recipes are completely different. The lineup includes Sweet Chili, Garlic Chili, and Smoky Chili, all built around air-dried Taiwanese-style noodles and broths that are clearly derived from hot sauce bases rather than traditional ramen soup.
Samyang Buldak Basil Cream Udon Review | Noodle Journey Episode 188
For the first review of 2025, things kick off with something a little different and a little harder to find. This is Samyang Buldak Basil Cream Udon, a flavor that was already elusive when it was new and may have been discontinued shortly after. Even so, it is interesting enough that it deserves a proper review on the books in case it ever turns up again.
A-Sha Hello Kitty Hand Pulled Style Noodles with Friendly Scallion Sauce Review | Noodle Journey Episode 187
I know I said the last review was the last one of 2024, but this is a very last-minute entry to close out the year, and not one I originally planned to review. After Christmas, my wife and I made one of our usual trips to Target to check out the clearance aisle, and this six-pack of A-Sha Hello Kitty Hand Pulled Style Noodles with Friendly Scallion Sauce immediately stood out. These were marked down significantly, and given the A-Sha brand is a solid one, it felt like something worth reviewing right away before the opportunity disappeared.
