Review: Nissin Cup Noodles Protein Rich & Savory Chicken Flavor

This Nissin Cup Noodles Protein Rich & Savory Chicken Flavor the first review (of three) of a small new product line from Nissin that just started popping up in July 2025. These are protein-enhanced Cup Noodles flavors, containing 16g of protein per serving, which is a 10g increase over the standard 6g included in the normal Chicken flavor. The announcement page on nissinfoods.com implies that this twofold increase in protein is due to the use of bone broth in the ingredients and not necessarily an overhaul of the noodle itself like so many other manufacturers do (with varying degrees of success).

Review: Nissin U.F.O. Super Hot Chilli Flavor

A while back I had my first taste of Nissin’s U.F.O. noodles in the form of the Hong Kong export version, which I was lucky enough to find at a local Asian convenience store. The other variety I picked up from that store around the same time is this Nissin U.F.O. Super Hot Chilli Flavor, which is another Hong Kong export variety that claims to be a “super hot” yakisoba flavor.

Review: Nissin Cup Noodle BIG Hot and Sour Soup

You may have noticed the last handful of reviews were photographed in a kind of black void. That’s because I’m using a photography box to document some of my reviews when I’m not home. And not being home means that the easiest thing to review is Cup Noodles (and other noodles that come in a cup, of course). This Nissin Cup Noodle BIG Hot and Sour Soup is Nissin’s Japanese take on Chinese hot & sour soup, and is a limited time offering from Nissin that comes back around every so often due to its popularity. I snagged one a couple months ago, so here is a proper review for your reading pleasure!

Review: Nissin Cup Noodle BIG Butter Chicken Curry

One of the benefits of doing reviews here on the site is I can churn out reviews of limited-time products much more quickly than if I had to schedule time to film and edit for the YouTube channel. So with that in mind, I’m checking out the first of many limited-time Cup Noodle products from Nissin right here for your reading pleasure, with this Nissin Cup Noodle BIG Butter Chicken Curry. Oh yes, and it comes in the “BIG” Cup Noodle size only.

Noodle Journey Episode 186: Nissin Raoh Fugu Dashi Yuzushio Ramen

Original video description:

As we celebrate not only the end of 2024 but of the channel reaching 2,000 subscribers, I bring you one of the craziest instant ramen cups I’ve ever seen. You read the thumbnail correctly: Nissin made a fish and yuzu salt broth flavored with actual pufferfish as part of their Raoh product line. How does a potentially poisonous fish taste in a ramen cup? You’ll have to watch the review to find out.

Scores:

  • Noodles: 8/10
  • Spiciness: 0/10
  • Overall: 7/10

Noodle Journey Episode 175: Nissin Cup Noodle French-Inspired Flavors Mega-Review

Notes since filming:

Shortly after filming, Japanese Snacks Republic sold out of all three of these flavors completely. I would love to believe that was because of me!

Unfortunately, the best of these three, the Chicken Supreme Sauce flavor, seems to be in dwindling supply already if it’s not completely gone. Which really stinks because it is my favorite Cup Noodle flavor of all time at this point.

Original video description:

I couldn’t wait to get into these new Cup Noodles I got from Japan. This is a trio of French-inspired flavors in Cup Noodle form: Lobster Bisque, Sea Bream & Scallop Bouillabaisse, and Chicken Supreme Sauce Truffle flavors. Watch the video to learn all about these flavors and which ones are worth buying!

Scores: Lobster Bisque flavor:

  • Noodles: 5/10
  • Spiciness: 0/10
  • Overall: 7.5/10

Sea Bream and Scallop Bouillabaisse flavor:

  • Noodles: 5/10
  • Spiciness: 0/10
  • Overall: 8/10

Chicken with Supreme Sauce flavor:

  • Noodles: 5/10
  • Spiciness: 0/10
  • Overall: 10/10

Noodle Journey Episode 169: Nissin Geki Fiery Hot Chicken Noodles

Original video description:

Here’s something unique from Nissin that all you Buldak fans might be interested in: noodles infused with chili pepper! This affordable little pack of noodles promises a spicy kick and some authentic chicken flavor, but it comes with what I would consider a massive flaw. Watch the review to learn more.

 

Scores:

  • Noodles: 3/10 (but can be improved by lowering the cooking time)
  • Spiciness: 6.5/10
  • Overall: 6/10 (would have been higher if not for the overcooked noodle texture)

Noodle Journey Episode 167: Nissin U.F.O. Japanese Sauce Yakisoba

Original video description:

It’s yakisoba time! Nissin’s U.F.O. product line is one of the most popular yakisoba lines in the world, but it’s not very easy to get in the USA. Fortunately, my local Asian market sells this version made for export to Hong Kong, and so I decided it’s high time I review one of the famous U.F.O. noodles for myself.

 

Scores:

  • Noodles: 6/10
  • Spiciness: 1/10
  • Overall: 7/10
