Nissin Cup Noodles BBQ Flavors Review | Noodle Journey Episode 221

Nissin is back with more limited edition gimmick noodles again, which means I have to review them again so that I don’t miss out. Today’s review is Nissin Cup Noodles BBQ flavors: Texas BBQ and Kansas City BBQ. I really have a love-hate relationship with Nissin’s gimmick Cup Noodles at this point. I love when they try new, thinking-out-of-the-box noodle recipes, but I hate that most of them have been, let’s say, subpar. And quite frankly, I don’t expect soft Cup Noodles covered in Nissin’s interpretation of barbecue sauce to be very good, but I just have to know. Another thing I hate is that when these limited-time Cup Noodles come out, my review schedule has to get adjusted, and I’ve got to review these while they’re still on store shelves. I had a completely different product review planned for this episode, so thank you for screwing up my plans, Nissin.

Nissin Cup Noodles Wings Mega-Review | Noodle Journey Episode 211

The Nissin Cup Noodles Wings limited-edition lineup has officially landed, bringing a trio of chicken-wing-inspired flavors to the instant noodle aisle. Released just in time for the "Big Game" (and I’m being careful with the phrasing so the NFL lawyers don’t come after me), these cups aim to replicate a sports bar experience with popular chicken wing flavors translated into instant ramen cups. This mega-review tackles the entire lineup: Spicy Buffalo with Ranch, Garlic Parmesan, and Lemon Pepper.

Nissin Cup Noodles Dill Pickle Flavor Review | Noodle Journey Episode 208

This review kicks off 2026 with one of Nissin’s most aggressive novelty flavors to date: Nissin Cup Noodles Dill Pickle Flavor. Nissin has leaned hard into gimmick releases over the past few years, clearly designed to grab attention on social media, and this one fits that pattern perfectly. Even knowing that, I couldn’t skip it since I've reviewed every other one Nissin has made, for better or for worse. Some of these oddball flavors have surprised me in the past, while others have been among the worst things I’ve ever eaten. This one very much felt like it could go either way.

Nissin Cup Noodles Turkey Dinner Flavor Review | Noodle Journey Episode 201

Nissin Cup Noodles Turkey Dinner Flavor arrives just in time for the November holiday season, and I am jumping back into video reviews, starting with this one because it's a limited-time offering. This was released alongside the rebranded Pumpkin Pie version, which is identical to the Pumpkin Spice flavor from a few years back. I reviewed that in episode 43, so anyone curious about it can check that out.

Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba Strawberry Shortcake Flavor Review | Noodle Journey Episode 195

Today's review is of a product that probably shouldn't exist, but here we are anyway. This is Myojo Ippei-Chan Yakisoba Strawberry Shortcake Flavor, and no, I'm not kidding and this isn't a joke. You could say this is clickbait or even rage bait, but even if I wasn't doing my channel or this website, I would still really, really want to know what this tastes like.

Nissin Raoh Fugu Dashi Yuzushio Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 186

I’m wrapping up 2024 on the channel (or rather, I intended to but something else came along) with one of the most unusual instant ramen products I’ve ever reviewed, and that’s saying something. This is Nissin Raoh Fugu Dashi Yuzushio Ramen, a limited-edition Japanese release built around pufferfish extract. Yes, that pufferfish. The famously venomous one that requires special licensing to prepare safely in Japan. Any time a product like that shows up in instant form, curiosity alone makes it impossible to ignore.

Nissin Cup Noodles Campfire S’mores Review | Noodle Journey Episode 161

It’s not April Fool’s Day, but Nissin has once again gone completely off the rails. The new Nissin Cup Noodles Campfire S’mores is very real, and somehow even more absurd than it sounds. Coming from the same brand that gave us Pumpkin Spice, Breakfast, and Everything Bagel Cup Noodles, this dessert-themed entry takes the concept of novelty flavors to an entirely new level. As Nissin Japan launches a classy blowfish flavor, here in the US we’re stuck with marshmallow and chocolate noodles. The audacity is impressive, but the concept itself already feels like a dare, or even worse: something to get social media all abuzz.

Nissin Cup Noodles Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese Review | Noodle Journey Episode 152

It must be April again, because Nissin has released yet another offbeat Cup Noodles flavor that sounds like a prank but isn’t. This time it’s Nissin Cup Noodles Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese, part of their growing list of limited-edition experiments like Pumpkin Spice and Breakfast Cup Noodles. Both of those turned out better than expected, so this one had me curious. I love everything bagel seasoning and cream cheese, just not necessarily together with noodles.

Paldo Strawberry Bibimmen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 150

Paldo Strawberry Bibimmen marks a milestone for the channel (Episode 150) and it might be one of the most unexpected instant noodle flavors I’ve ever reviewed. I first noticed it on MyKMarket while browsing for Korean-exclusive Buldak varieties, then forgot about it until a Reddit thread reminded me. The comments there convinced me to buy it for this episode, and it’s a fittingly strange way to celebrate a round-number milestone.
