Noodle Journey is an episodic YouTube channel dedicated to detailed and informative reviews of the instant noodle universe. This website provides a fully searchable index of every video, allowing you to find your next favorite instant noodle product. Some reviews have additional thoughts that I have added since the video was published.
It dawned on me after filming that I should have given the dumpling a “Texture” score, in which case these probably would’ve earned a 3/10. If I do more dumpling reviews in the future, I will make sure to score texture.

Did you know that Samyang started making Buldak Dumplings? It seems that this product has flown under the radar of many Buldak fans, but there’s a lot of things you should know about these dumplings before you spend your hard-earned money on them. Check out the review to learn more!

My old review of this product is still up for the sake of posterity and comparison, but this new recipe is the one you should pay attention to! Such a great comeback story.

Here’s a first for Noodle Journey: I reviewed the previous version of this product back in September 2023, didn’t love it, and then was contacted by the manufacturer to inform me that they had greatly improved their recipe and ingredients. Did it work? I won’t spoil it, but if you’re interested in freeze-dried pork, fish cake, and veggies for your ramen, you’re going to want to check out this review!
These have really grown on me since filming; I actually use them a lot! But holy shit are they difficult to work with.

I’m back with Ramen Bae’s other new April 2024 product. This is a 3-ounce bag of dried enoki mushrooms. Never had enoki mushrooms before? Check out the review to see if these are worth buying!
If you held a gun to my head and asked me to pick my favorite Ramen Bae mix, it’s this one. It pairs perfectly with 99% of the Korean noodles that are out there, it’s not crazy spicy, and the ingredient quality is top-notch. I’ve personally used this Kimchi Mix more than any of their other flavors.

Here’s a product Ramen Bae has been teasing for a while, and it’s finally out! Check out my in-depth review for everything you’ll ever want to know about Ramen Bae Kimchi Mix.
Ramen Bae sells a full-sized version of this now! Assuming the quality is as good as this bag of mini-narutomaki, I would also give it a strong recommendation.

Did you know that you can buy shelf stable Japanese fish cake from Ramen Bae? This product flew in under my radar sometime in the last few months, and so I bought a bag for a review. I also dive a little bit into what fish cake is and compare Ramen Bae’s product to the frozen narutomaki you may find at your local Asian grocery store.
I felt horrible giving this a 5/10 score, but I absolutely got a bad batch of those dehydrated eggs and I don’t compromise on my opinions on any review, even on a company I love as much as Ramen Bae. I never want to sour a potential relationship with any company, but I pride myself on honesty and integrity in my reviews, so that’s why this product was scored the way it was.
From everything I’ve seen on Facebook reviews, The Ramen Rater’s review, etc., my egg incident was largely isolated, so go ahead and buy this if it appeals to you.
Since filming this review, Ramen Bae has cut the amount of eggs per bag in half and has also removed the narutomaki (fish cakes). Assuming the egg issues are all ironed out, that would put this at a 9/10 for me as an overall score.
