Samyang Buldak Kimchi Ramen feels like a natural fit with the rest of the Korean flavors in the Buldak lineup. When I first opened the massive variety pack of Korean noodles I bought ages ago (that essentially hallmarked that start of this whole site and channel), I was surprised by how many Buldak varieties there were all-told, some of them unexpected like Corn or Tomato Pasta. The combination of Samyang’s signature heat with the sour fermented kick of kimchi seems like a no-brainer for fans of bold, punchy flavors. Unless you hate kimchi, of course, in which case this one’s probably not going to be your thing.

Samyang Buldak Tomato Pasta Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 93
Continuing my deep dive into the Buldak product line, I’m trying out one of the more unique flavors left in my review queue, Samyang Buldak Tomato Pasta Ramen variety. Some online chatter, particularly on Reddit, claims this is basically a South Korean spicy take on Spaghetti-Os. That doesn’t sound too bad to me, though we’ll see how it plays out in practice.
Samyang Buldak Stew Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 92
This review looks at Samyang Buldak Stew Ramen, one of the few variations designed to deliver the brand’s signature flavor in soup form. I’ve seen people dilute regular Buldak sauces with water to create soup, which isn't a great idea - it just spreads the spice around and weakens the flavor. This recipe is actually formulated to be in soup form with the promise of all the intense flavor and heat you'd expect from the Buldak name. Be warned that the packaging is kinda similar to the standard original Hot Chicken pack but has a “Stew Type” logo, so be sure you’re buying the right one if you're shopping for this flavor.
Samyang Buldak Habanero Lime Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 91
In this spicy review I’m covering Samyang Buldak Habanero Lime Ramen, one of three new Buldak flavors introduced in 2022. The sombrero on the packaging hints at a Mexican‑inspired profile. I had tried this a couple of months earlier because I wanted to see how relentless the cilantro flavor was, and after it passed the cilantro-tolerance test, I wanted to revisit it here.
Samyang Buldak Rosé Ramen (Korean Version) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 90
Today I'm reviewing Samyang Buldak Rosé Ramen, which at the time of this review was one of the more elusive flavors in the Buldak lineup. I ordered it from stylekorean.com for about two dollars a pack, though I hope Samyang eventually releases an English‑export version (update: they did!). Some viewers have mispronounced it as “rose” like the flower; the packaging clearly uses the accent mark over the e, so it’s pronounced ro‑zé. This ramen aims to blend Samyang’s signature heat with a creamy smoky bacon sauce.
StyleKorean.com Ramyun & Tteokbokki Unboxing | Noodle Journey
Noodle Journey's first unboxing video! While hunting for some new noodles, I came across StyleKorean.com, a South Korean website selling some interesting noodle products (and cosmetics, if you're into that sort of thing), some of which I can't find in the USA. There's some really cool stuff in here, so check it out if you're interested in ordering from them. (This video is not sponsored in any way. I'm just a fan of their service and selection.) #nongshim #samyang #buldakramen #paldo #ottogi
Samyang Buldak Quattro Cheese Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 62
I’m following up my review of the regular Buldak Cheese with this one, Samyang Buldak Quattro Cheese Ramen. After getting radio silence online when I asked others what the difference was between the two, I’m taking it upon myself to compare them directly. My hope is that this one turns up the cheese in both flavor and texture.
Samyang Buldak Cheese Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 61
I'm diving back into the world's most popular spicy noodle product line to try Samyang Buldak Cheese Ramen, one of the more popular Korean instant noodle flavors around. This sets the stage for my review of the newer Quattro Cheese version in the next video/post, so I can directly compare the two. Cheese in Korean noodles remains a polarizing topic, but I'm firmly on the pro-cheese side.
Samyang Buldak Corn Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 40
I’m diving into what might be the most polarizing Buldak variety: Samyang Buldak Corn Ramen. It’s drawn some harsh reactions online, which bumped it to the top of my curiosity list. I usually enjoy the Buldak product line for its spicy, flavorful reliability, but corn in Korean ramen? And a corn-flavored sauce no less? That’s new to me.
Samyang Buldak Jjajang Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 30
Samyang returns to the spotlight in this review with their spicy twist on a Korean favorite: Samyang Buldak Jjajang Ramen. For those unfamiliar, jjajang is a Korean adaptation of Chinese black bean sauce, which is a thick, earthy, and slightly sweet sauce that I’ve only recently started exploring. My first exposure was through Nongshim’s Chapagetti, but this version promises a much more intense experience thanks to Samyang’s trademark Buldak heat.
