Detailed instant noodle reviews and ratings – watch, read, and discover your next favorite.
It’s been a while since I reviewed something from Jin Mai Lang, also known as JML. I reviewed their Artificial Chicken Mushroom flavor way back when, and it did certainly deliver on both the chicken and the mushroom flavor, although the noodles weren’t really the best. Here with this variety, we’ve got a Chinese “stewed pork” flavor I’m not totally familiar with, but I do love trying new things, so this should be interesting.

One look at the noodles on this packaging and I knew I had to try them. This is a hot and sour broad noodle from China made by Baijia, and it has been recommended to me a few times now. Check out the review for all the details about this flavor.

It’s yakisoba time! Nissin’s U.F.O. product line is one of the most popular yakisoba lines in the world, but it’s not very easy to get in the USA. Fortunately, my local Asian market sells this version made for export to Hong Kong, and so I decided it’s high time I review one of the famous U.F.O. noodles for myself.

These thick, broad noodles paired with a salty, meaty broth looked incredible and so I had to buy them for a review. Not all is what it seems with this unique Chinese soup! Check out the video to learn more.

Notes since filming:
I never deal in absolutes, which is why I won’t commit to saying any one noodle product is my number one of all time. I enjoy all of these for different reasons, and what awesome product I crave one day may not be what awesome product I crave another day. That’s why I filmed this list this way, and I will continue to do so with any future top lists.

Time for the channel’s first top 10 list! I’ve reviewed a lot of great products since the channel began. This list, in no particular order, highlights my 10 current favorites among the major noodle varieties, along with some honorable mentions for those of you with dietary preferences.
Notes since filming:
As I write this, the Tomato Meatball flavor still hasn’t found its way to Ramen Talk’s website, yet I can still find it in S Mart stores where I live. So weird. I can’t imagine this flavor wouldn’t sell well online.

One of the absolute best noodle companies on the planet, Ramen Talk, stealth-released a new variety in the US, and Noodle Journey has the scoop on it! This is a tomato pork broth with a generous portion of meatballs, tomato chunks, and corn. Will this Asian/Italian fusion make your tastebuds sing? Check out the review to find out.
When Ramen Talk starts selling this online, you’ll find it on http://ramentalk.us and http://ramentalk.co.uk.

Notes since filming:
Major bummer, but this variety seems to have been discontinued in both its pack and bowl forms. I don’t know of any other seafood ramen varieties that have this specific XO flavor. If this ever makes a comeback, hopefully Nissin doesn’t mess with the recipe!

It’s been quite a while since a Nissin Demae review, but this one seemed extra interesting and so I grabbed a pack from my favorite Asian market. This XO Sauce Seafood flavor is something totally unique to instant ramen. If you’re unfamiliar with XO Sauce and want to know how this tastes, check out the review!

One of the more interesting products from Nissin’s Hong Kong Cup Noodles lineup, this popular Black Pepper Crab flavor promises a hearty combination of seafood umami and tingly aromatics. Could this be one of the best Cup Noodles out there?
