Nongshim Shin Original Ramyun Cup, 2.64 Ounce (Pack of 6)

I’ve tried my fair share of ramen over the years, but Shin Black Ramen Noodles truly stands out as one of the best. This stuff is next-level!Flavor:The broth is bold and flavorful, with the perfect balance of spice and richness. It’s not just spicy for the sake of heat – there’s a deep, savory umami that really elevates the overall taste. The heat level is definitely on the higher side, but it’s that perfect type of spicy where you keep coming back for more. The addition of garlic, onion, and the hint of miso makes it absolutely addictive. I’ve had other spicy ramen that feels like it’s just burning your mouth, but Shin Black offers complexity and depth that makes each slurp more satisfying than the last.Noodles:The noodles themselves are fantastic. They have that perfect chewy texture that holds up well in the broth without getting soggy. They soak up the flavor beautifully and are just the right thickness to create a satisfying bite. I love that they feel like restaurant-quality ramen – not the thin, flimsy noodles you get in many instant ramen packets.Packaging & Convenience:I really appreciate the thoughtful packaging – the ramen comes with a separate seasoning packet, which keeps everything fresh. It’s incredibly easy to prepare; you can have a delicious bowl ready in under 5 minutes. As someone who doesn’t always have time to cook a full meal, this is a great option for a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner.Portion Size:The portion size is generous – it’s filling enough to be a hearty meal on its own, but also works well if you want to add your own toppings like a boiled egg, some vegetables, or a bit of meat. I’ve enjoyed it both as is and with some extra add-ins, and it’s always satisfying.Overall Value:For the quality and flavor, this ramen is a steal! It’s a bit more expensive than your standard instant noodles, but you get what you pay for. The quality, flavor complexity, and satisfaction it delivers are totally worth the price.In conclusion, Shin Black Ramen has earned its place as my go-to spicy ramen. If you love bold, flavorful, and spicy noodles, you absolutely need to try these. Highly recommend!

I really like the Beef Bone Broth flavor ramen and will add additional vegetables, meat, or a boiled egg to make it a complete meal. It does have a salty taste, but not as salty as other flavor of ramen I have tried. Although I prefer to go out to get ramen at a local restaurant, this works as a decent substitute and saves me money, especially in this economy!

Holy s word this was the/is the best ramen I‘ve ever made myself. Taste and spice level are on point. I added green onion, broccoli, red pepper, rainbow carrot chips, a bunch of cilantro, a fried egg and a dash of cinnamon 🤤Ate the whole thing in one sitting and thats abnormal for me 🤭Thank you!

Love ramen noodles...dined on them throughout my years in college. Compared to the instant brands I used to have in college (Maruchan, Top Ramen, etc. that would cost around $4 for 20-30 packets), Nongshim is several steps up, but also as much as 10x the price per packet.First and foremost, Ramen is a best as an occasional meal option if you need something quick...I would not recommend choking down a bowl of instant ramen daily as they're loaded with sodium...once or twice a week shouldn't hurt much. Secondly, most of these "better tier" brands have a spicy kick to them...you can reduce the heat (and sodium) by using less of the seasoning.What separates Nongshim Shin Black from other ramen types and brands is the broth...the bone beef broth is amazing, rich, and tasty. Gives an overall nice beef flavor. The noodles are higher quality than other brands...they have a perfect tenderness to them. The toppings (mushrooms and other veggies) are also a nice touch considering most other instant ramen noodle brands don't have any toppings at all.For those who have to be more careful of their sodium intake, cut down on the amount of seasoning...I've found that half the "red seasoning" packet adds enough kick and flavor to be sufficient for most. You can always add your own seasonings as well. Nongshim, as far as instant Ramen, is among the best in the market. If you enjoy Ramen, give it a try.

The ramen has a good level of spice and flavor. Its spice and flavor packet are together so it’s not possible to adjust the level of spice without reducing the flavor. That said it is not overwhelmingly spicy as some other reviewers have claimed. We’ve ordered at least four times and not have had any problems with shipping to military diplomatic post office.

...you want to eat regular ramen again. This is AWESOME! Very spicy, great toppers, delicious. DELICIOUS!!! I love to keep it at work and just add hot water to it--so much better than the vending machine.

Tastes great, but in my most recent order, half the packages were open. I mean that the seals weren't just loose, but we're fully open. I got a refund, but I would have rather have had no packaging issue. This is the second time I'm experienced this.

I microwave mine for 3-1/2 minutes full power with the contained sitting in the bowl I plan to dump the ramen into after it has cooked and steeped and then steeped another minute. This helps make the noodles softer and the mushroom pieces not chewy. I really like spicy and the broth for this is really creamy and hot. It is filling and flavorful.
