Samyang Buldak Kimchi Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 94

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 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 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

Paldo Jang Ramyun Review | Noodle Journey Episode 86

I’m diving into something a bit unusual today: Paldo Jang Ramyun, a soy-flavored noodle soup that stands out because it’s from a Korean company. While soy-based broths are a staple in Japanese ramen, they’re a bit rarer (in my experience) when it comes to Korean instant noodles. This particular variety has a few interesting twists in the ingredients. It’s part of Paldo’s diverse lineup, and given how consistently solid their products are, I’m going into this review with optimism.

Nongshim Guksu Soba with Gochujang Review | Noodle Journey Episode 85

This is my first time reviewing a soba noodle product, and I’m kicking things off with something from one of my favorite Korean companies. Nongshim Guksu Soba with Gochujang combines Korean sweet-and-spicy chili paste with Japanese-style buckwheat noodles, creating a chilled noodle dish that’s a refreshing change of pace. And the most interesting part? It comes with two different preparation methods: cold sauced noodles or cold noodle soup. Naturally, I'm reviewing them both.

Nongshim Guksu with Beef Bone Extract Review | Noodle Journey Episode 84

I’m taking a look at a Nongshim variety that completely slipped past my radar until recently: Nongshim Guksu with Beef Bone Extract. The packaging boldly advertises a hybrid of beef and umami dashi flavors, and I picked up a four-pack on sale for $3.99 at my favorite Asian market, marked down from the usual $5.99. Oddly, I haven’t found it on Amazon, but some Walmarts carry it, and other Asian online stores or eBay may have listings.

Nongshim Ansung Noodle Soup (Ansungtangmyun) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 75

I’m revisiting a flavor I tried a long time ago: Nongshim Ansung Noodle Soup, also known as Ansungtangmyun. Back then, I wasn’t in serious reviewer mode, so this time I’m taking a closer look. Despite its lower prominence compared to Shin, this one is still easy to find in stores like Wegmans or online for around $5 to $10 per 4-pack. The name “Ansung” refers to the small Korean city where this recipe originated, and the import version usually bears the original Korean name instead. According to Nongshim, this is a mildly spicy miso soup with beef extract and shiitake mushrooms, and it definitely piqued my curiosity.
