Noodle Journey is an episodic review series in which we learn all about instant noodle brands and products and then do a deep dive into the noodle quality, spice level, and overall flavor. All reviews are as thorough as possible. The noodles are cooked according to the manufacturer's instructions using only the contents of the product package unless otherwise indicated. This ensures that the review is as unbiased as possible and evaluates whether or not I think a product is worth a purchase either as a standalone meal or as a base that you could spruce up. Each review represents my personal opinions and is for informational/entertainment purposes only. I am not responsible for how the information is interpreted or used. I don't think anything else like this exists on the market! This is a new variety from Ramen Toppers, Black Garlic Chicken for Noodles, containing actual dried pieces of marinated, grilled chicken meat with quality narutomaki fish cake and a hearty blend of vegetables. If you're looking for something substantial to add to your instant ramen, you do not want to miss this review.

Ramen Toppers Vegetable Mix for Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
After re-reviewing Ramen Toppers’ Chashu Pork, Fish Cake, and Vegetable Mix and awarding it a perfect score, I was excited to try their other major product: the Ramen Toppers Vegetable Mix for Noodles. This mix contains the same vegetables found in the Chashu blend - peas, corn, cabbage, carrots, and green onion - but without the meat or fish elements, making it completely vegan. Ramen Toppers sent me this canister at the same time as the Chashu sample so I could evaluate both.
Ramen Toppers Chashu Pork, Fish Cake, & Vegetable Mix (2024 Recipe) Re-Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
I’m doing something I’ve never done before: a full re-review of a product that I didn't love originally. Back in September 2023, I covered Ramen Toppers Chashu Pork, Fish Cake & Vegetable Mix and walked away unimpressed. I found the pork to be tough and flavorless, the vegetables pale and unappealing, and at nearly twenty-five dollars a jar, I couldn’t justify recommending it. Fast-forward nine months, and the company themselves reached out to me to say they’d completely overhauled the recipe and wanted me to give it another shot. I respect any business that takes constructive feedback seriously, so when they offered to send me the updated version, I said yes without hesitation. If you watch the video above, you can see a comparison of the old recipe's contents to the new.
Ramen Toppers Chashu Pork and Vegetables Mix Review | Noodle Journey Supplemental Episode
Note: This product underwent a drastic overhaul several months after I reviewed it and earned a much better score! Check out the updated review for more info. I’m checking out another dried topping meant to dress up instant noodles, this time from a brand simply called Ramen Toppers. The thing that makes them unique among other dried topping manufacturers is clear: chashu pork and full-size narutomaki fish cake in the same jar, plus a pile of vegetables. It’s a neat idea if the proteins and textures hold up after rehydrating.
