Noodle Journey: Top 10 Instant Noodles (2024)
Notes since filming:
I never deal in absolutes, which is why I won’t commit to saying any one noodle product is my number one of all time. I enjoy all of these for different reasons, and what awesome product I crave one day may not be what awesome product I crave another day. That’s why I filmed this list this way, and I will continue to do so with any future top lists.
Original video description:
Time for the channel’s first top 10 list! I’ve reviewed a lot of great products since the channel began. This list, in no particular order, highlights my 10 current favorites among the major noodle varieties, along with some honorable mentions for those of you with dietary preferences.
Noodle Journey Episode 144: Ramen Talk Tomato Meatball Noodles
Notes since filming:
As I write this, the Tomato Meatball flavor still hasn’t found its way to Ramen Talk’s website, yet I can still find it in S Mart stores where I live. So weird. I can’t imagine this flavor wouldn’t sell well online.
Original video description:
One of the absolute best noodle companies on the planet, Ramen Talk, stealth-released a new variety in the US, and Noodle Journey has the scoop on it! This is a tomato pork broth with a generous portion of meatballs, tomato chunks, and corn. Will this Asian/Italian fusion make your tastebuds sing? Check out the review to find out.
When Ramen Talk starts selling this online, you’ll find it on http://ramentalk.us and http://ramentalk.co.uk.

Noodle Journey Episode 83: Ramen Talk Pepper Crispy Pork Noodles
Notes since filming:
This is currently the only review where I’ve second-guessed myself after. Did I get a bad bag? Is what I tasted what it’s supposed to taste like? Either way, it’s the only Ramen Talk flavor that got a bad review, bad enough to end up on my first bottom list.
One of these days, I feel like I have to revisit this one, because my experience doesn’t appear to be typical for this flavor.

I loved almost the entire Ramen Talk product line, but this is the one that gets repurchased most. There’s nothing else like it on shelves in the USA.
