A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Cups Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 189

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.

Chef Woo Ramen Noodles by Chef Ramsay: Shiitake Mushroom Chicken & Black Garlic Beef Review | Noodle Journey Episode 181

Chef Woo Ramen Noodles by Chef Ramsay: Shiitake Mushroom Chicken & Black Garlic Beef Review | Noodle Journey Episode 181

Ramen Noodles by Chef Ramsay are a pair of brand-new ramen cups that just launched in the US (at the time of review) under the Chef Woo branding, created in collaboration with Gordon Ramsay. These are plant-based ramen cups positioned as a higher-protein, lower-sodium alternative to traditional instant ramen, and they’re notable not just because of the celebrity name attached, but because Borealis Foods (the Chef Woo parent company) is clearly aiming these at a health-conscious audience. Given Gordon Ramsay’s past public opinions about vegan food, this collaboration is at least a little surprising, which makes it all the more interesting to see whether the end result actually holds up.

A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Bowls Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 178

A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Bowls Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 178

Today's review is A-Sha x Hot Ones Ramen Noodle Bowls, a collaboration between two very well-known brands: A-Sha and Hot Ones. The flavors are Taiwanese Tingly Pepper Ramen, Sizzling Chili Garlic Ramen, and Fiery Hot Tonkotsu Ramen. I've got to say, Target has really upped its instant noodle game these last few weeks; not only did they start carrying Buldak Yakisoba, but now they also have these three bowls available nationwide.

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

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

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. 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!

Samyang Picantia Noodle Soup Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 171

Samyang Picantia Noodle Soup Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 171

I’m taking a look at the Samyang Picantia Noodle Soup line in this mega-review, a trio of fusion flavors clearly designed with a Hispanic theme in mind. This is a pretty big shift compared to their usual Buldak lineup, so I'm very curious to see what a Korean company does with a Hispanic-inspired product line. The Jalapeno Chicken and Chipotle Beef flavors feel like a natural fit for the new branding, although the Cajun Shrimp option left me scratching my head at first because it doesn't quite seem to match the rest of the theme. But as I learned right before filming, Cajun cuisine actually does have Spanish roots even if some of us don’t normally associate those cultures together, and that does help explain why Samyang included it in this particular product line.

Dollar Store Instant Noodle Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 168

Dollar Store Instant Noodle Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 168

In this Dollar Store Instant Noodle Mega-Review, I’m diving into four ramen bowls that have been showing up in Dollar Tree stores across the US: Thai Authentic Sriracha Shrimp Ramen, Thai Authentic Chicken Curry Ramen, Norita Roasted Pork Tonkotsu Ramen with Miso, and Norita Tempura Udon Shrimp Soy Sauce Noodle Soup. I found all four of these at Dollar Tree for $1.25 each. These are all made in Thailand and imported by the same Kentucky company, so the two brands are essentially one and the same. Packaging is cheap and generic looking, but as you're about to learn, you should never judge a book by its cover, or a noodle by its packaging.

Nissin Hot & Spicy Fire Wok Bowls Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 159

Nissin Hot & Spicy Fire Wok Bowls Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 159

Today I’m covering the full set of Nissin Hot & Spicy Fire Wok Bowls: Sizzlin’ Rich Pork, Scorchin’ Sesame Shrimp, Molten Chili Chicken, and Volcanic Mongolian Beef. These aren’t part of the regular Hot & Spicy line, but while they use what I think is the same noodle base, they come with their own unique Fire Sauce recipes for extra heat. Each bowl aims for “restaurant-level” stir-fry flavor (Nissin's words, not mine) straight from the microwave, which sounds ambitious for a $2 cup of noodles. I’m testing them from mildest to hottest to see if any of them deserve a spot in your noodle rotation.

Mama Tom Yum Noodles Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 156

Mama Tom Yum Noodles Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 156

This one’s been a long time coming. I’m finally reviewing all three of the very popular Mama Tom Yum Noodles flavors: Shrimp, Creamy Shrimp, and Pork. These are everywhere, including Asian grocers, international markets, even Walmart, and they’ve been some of the most requested noodles on my list. Instead of stretching them across multiple videos, I’m covering them all at once, because if any trio deserves a proper showdown, it’s this one.

Trader Joe's Thai Noodle Bowls (Garlic Sauce, Red Curry & Peanut Satay) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 130

Trader Joe’s Thai Noodle Bowls (Garlic Sauce, Red Curry & Peanut Satay) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 130

Trader Joe’s Thai Noodle Bowls come in three flavors, Garlic Sauce, Red Curry, and Peanut Satay, and I’m diving into all of them in this review. I’ve tried other Trader Joe’s instant noodle products before, like their Squiggly Taiwanese noodles and ramen cups, but those weren’t particularly impressive. Trader Joe’s usually rebrands products from established manufacturers, but I’m not sure who made these bowls. Each is sold exclusively at Trader Joe’s for about $2.50, although third-party sellers on Amazon list them for a steep markup.
