Hot Spicy Chicken Ramen

I've been wanting to try these for a while, didn't think to look on Amazon though so I kind of stumbled upon these down a shopping rabbit hole. Needless to say, I read the (bad) reviews carefully before I actually bought them. They made me a bit apprehensive but I decided that it was worth the risk. I wasn't a prime member on trial when I ordered these, but they still came sooner than I thought they would. I've since tried them...and I think they're lovely. And I'd like to address some of the bad reviews I've read on these: Firstly, mine came in great condition, not a one broken sauce pack or crushed ramen. But I also had a bunch of other stuff shipped with them and there was a ton of bubble wrap, so maybe that had something to do with it? Second, me personally I don't think they're "too spicy". I'm so used to spice that spicy foods kind of plateau and don't really get spicier than a certain level but these are still pretty hot, I am glad to say BUT if you don't wait for them to cool down you may confuse hot-°F for hot-spicy and will burn tf out of your mouth-not in the good way. So "wait for the steam to abate" hahaa or don't get them if you know you suck at taking spice (and if you do anyways for the fun of it, don't bi*ch about them being too spicy. Just saying). Third, as for flavor and noodle quality, these are NOT at all like the americanized oodles of noodles you and I are used to having. The first thing I noticed When I took my first bite was not the spice but how they're not salty. Not saying they lack salt but I'm used to pack noodles being LOADED with salt, so much so that if u like them less soupy, you can't use the whole seasoning pack. With these, the whole seasoning pack gets used on very little water so you don't really have the soupy option- fine by me. Also, cooking then for less time (like I always do with American ramen b.c I like a firmer noodle) isn't recommended. If you want my advice, follow the directions carefully the first time and THEN make your personal tweaks. I see people cooking them for less time than they're supposed to b.c the think they "like a firmer texture" and then complaining about noodle quality. These noodles are made with tapioca so yes, they're chewy and thicc and must be cooked their whole 5 min, then 30 sec. When I did this, they came out perfectly and the taste didn't disappoint- very unlike the assembly line-sodium packed taste I'm used to :) but I still felt like they were missing something. Not flavor, but other stuff... The second time I tried it (and added my personal tweaks) I put in some leftover chicken and broccoli stir fry I'd made and my noodles were transformed. My boyfriend, who had previously declined to try them before, tasted them that time said (and I quote) "Those are really good", this coming from a man whose top praise for food is a rare "Delicious". Getting a "Those are really good" from a food that came in a package and that is not a steak dinner/ home cooked meal is also pretty rare from him. I think they're totally worth buying, they're so unlike any other pack noodle I've ever gotten- my tongue and stomach doesn't go numb from the salt after I ate them, and they mix VERY well with meats and vegetables- also unlike typical instant ramen which makes anything you add taste weirdly artificial- it's almost like.. real food. Like something I'd order from a Chinese food restaurant. I rarely eat ramen but sometimes I crave it for some reason, I'm always disappointed and I go back to not eating them for months and months...that won't be a problem anymore b.c I will never be eating American ramen again😂 I am so glad I bought these and Will be getting them from now on.

My teen after watching countless videos of Buldak wanted to try this carbonara flavor. We made it last evening and it was surprisingly good, I assumed it would be run-of-the-mill ramen but it turned out very flavorful with moderate spiciness. As recommended in videos we added milk and shredded cheese to make it a delicious meal. Buying it here was actually cheaper than my local Asian market, making it another plus. However, for us this is an occasional treat as it is rich in flavor, sodium and calories.

I'm slowly trying all of these. Ever since WalMart started selling the original Spicy Chicken flavor in the black package, I've been hooked! So far, my favorites are the Jjajang flavor, the habenaro lime, and the original. These cheese ones are pretty good, though. It tastes sorta like cheesey spaghetti when you make it, so adding meatballs or just some ground beef is a good choice for protien. I just love Buldak spicy noodles! Favorite ramen brand, hands down!

The flavor combo here is interesting, yet really pretty good! The cheese flavor is nicely creamy, not chalky at all like some other brand "cheese flavor".My spicy loving husband and daughter literally love everything about Buldak and would gladly eat it daily.I personally loved the cheesy flavor... before the heat hit me. I nearly passed out! If you find it super spicy too, I recommend adding some heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream to it to soften the blow.

This was my least favorite, it was so spicy you couldn’t taste much but what I could taste, it was a very spicy spaghetti o flavor. Not for me I guess. The black one is good and the pink was my fav!

This is the perfect balance of spice and flavor. The red 2x is too spicy to be able to enjoy the other flavors, but the black one is perfect. Always have this one in my pantry.

This flavor is my favorite flavor and it is sooo good and cheesy. What I like to do sometimes is add two fried eggs and if I’m really hungry I’ll add tteokbokki :)!! I also am bad with spice so if I eat it alone I will just use half of the spicy sauce but if I have the eggs and other things added then I use the whole pack or more than half.It is more on the expensive side so it may not be for you on if you’re on a budget but definitely worth the hype and taste.I do want to mention that I got these as a gift for my boyfriend, I usually get them through my local Asian stores !

They're spicy but I love them. I little more cheese would be awesome 👌

Las sopas son riquísimas, si no te gusta tan fuerte el picante, este ramen en particular es mitad crema y mitad picante, es dulcesito al inicio y al final picante. Además le puedes agregar quesito y huevo a la hora de prepararlo para alivianar más el sabor del picante :)

This flavour is VERY different from the others. The noodles themselves are made with corn so they have a different texture and flavour than the regular ramen. It’s a fun flavour!

Realmente sabe a elote, pica menos que las otras de la misma marca.

These are VERY HOT, but DELICIOUS 🤤 I just finished trying my first pack and my nose is running as I type this review 😂 I only used about half the hot sauce packet, and I love spice. It still made it quite hot but also enjoyable. The noodles are spongy and thick, they are really good. The carbonara flavour is very nice too. It makes a good size bowl of noodles. It’s bigger than a regular pack of ramen noodles you would get at the store. The hot sauce is also a really nice flavour it almost has a sweet tang to it. What I like about this is that you can adjust the heat to your taste, experiment with it and see how much hot sauce you like in it. At $9.99, to me it’s definitely worth it! If you really like spicy things, you will probably enjoy this a lot! 🌶

Nice very hot instant noodles. Highly recommend for folks who liked and can stand hot hot chili hot!
