Really? Carbo is my least favorite, the cheese flavor kinda ruins the experience for me. Jjajang is the best one imo, the sauce has a meaty, beefy smoky flavor that's just so addictive and craveable.

>>17413544
Recommend me more based ramen to try, my gook friends

>>17413544
What are your credentials to make this build claim?

>>17413544

>>17413679
this is my favorite. the pink one is a bit too sweet
the original black one is good too, the cheese version is very similar, just a bit more creamy

>>17413544

>>17413679
honkey please

how much does a 5 pack cost where you guys live?
$8 CAD here at the chinese market. seems expensive but I still bought one.

>>17413733
They're like $6USD at H-Mart by me

>>17413733
$1 a pack, $4 for a bundle.

>>17413733
like 5$
the nearest store only carries the 2x hot meme version for tiktok kiddies unfortunately

>>17413573
Hell yeah. Good marbled steak cubes and Jjajang noodles is my all-time favorite food

I hate that these are so big. I want my noodles to be a snack, not a damn meal. I wish they were half the size.

>>17413803
That's why you buy these, because they're an actual meal instead of just being a snack. If you want a little snack packet that still has good sweet taste, I recommend Indomie. The original is great, it comes with a bunch of little packets to build a sauce and some crispy fried onions for the top.

>>17413813
based af taste, indomie and samyang are my fav instand noodles too
the flavoring on indomie mi goreng is delicious but I kind of wish they had those chewy samyang noodles

>>17413762
won't lie, that looks amazing

>>17413761
The 2x one is fine to eat, I eat it sometimes.

>>17413761
3x is the meme version but i can never find it

>>17413544
what the fuck?

im kind of scared of this brand now because i bought some hot variety without realizing it was a big korean internet meme, and it caused me literal butthurt

>>17413544
>>17413821
As it happens I just got some of these today.

Throwing my hat in the ring with these bad boys.

>>17414334
they make milquetoast ramens too

>>17413761
The 2x is very spicy. I recommend using like 3-4 oz of the cooking water instead of the normal 2oz. They're delicious, but yeah you'll be panting and sweating, anyone who claims they don't is a tough guy liar.

>>17414364
It's possible to get used to the heat. I found the Carbo ones to be very spicy but after eating enough of them it was fine. My dad has the 2x spicy ones regularly and they don't affect him much anymore.

hello friends

>>17413821
This is the only appropriate answer. If you want it spicier just add some LGM
>yes, it's literally THAT easy

>>17414384
I see you still use the inferior chili crisp. Fly by Jing is so much better it makes Lao Gan Ma seem like garbage.

>>17414344
I never had good luck with that brand, their noodles are just bad quality. I'll give the Kimchi ones a try though

>>17414392
>This guy fell for the marketing gimmick!

No thanks, I'll stick to the tried & true chili crisp that has been the household name for decades. Keep buying your overpriced influencer chili crisp tho! God bless

>>17414378
>$2.50 for 1 pack of shin ramyun

>>17414410
Really? I've always appreciated the thicker noodles that Nongshim offer, but yeah give the kimchi a go, I'd argue they're the best all-around ramen I've found in terms of quantity, flavour and spice.

>>17414334
they're all hot, but most of them are around Shin Ramyun levels of hotness - so quite hot but not overwhelmingly so if you eat hot food occasionally
the 2x and 3x hot variety is just a meme. the pink one is probably the least hot if that's what you want

>>17414420
Lao Gan Ma seems like they use cheap oil, that gives it a metallic bitter taste. Fly By Jing has more garlic and is a little sweeter which to my western palate tastes much better. I swore by Lao Gan Ma for years but once I found this new stuff I never looked back.

>>17414425
Maybe I'm just spoiled by the chewy dense noodles in Samyang, but I find it hard to go back to any of the big japanese brands.

Every single Buldak flavour I have tried, about 6, is completely flavourless other than the OMG SO SPICE meme bullshit that makes the whole thing not enjoyable. I don't know what OP is smoking but these are by far the worst noodles I've had.

I honestly advise everyone try the kimchi ones... sweet and sour and spicy, fucking tasty.
I got bored of constantly eating the 2x spicy ones, glad I ventured out into the other flavours.

>>17413544
Yep, definitely the best I've had so far... had my last packet last night, need to order more!

>>17413573
I love these ones, they're actually a lot spicer than I thought they'd be too, not 2x hot spicy, but definitely the 2nd hottest ones out of the lot... I fry up some beef and onions and add that to it.

>>17414420
The best LGM product is the one with fermented beans (douchi). I put it on everything

>>17414443
you just don't have the spice tolerance to appreciate them. they're actually very flavorful, sweet and savory
have you tried the pink one? that's the least spicy version

>>17414443
they're good you just don't like spicy food

>>17414443
Is this a troll post? It's pretty well agreed upon that Samyang noodles have the best and most flavorful sauces on the market

>>17414437
Strange. I thought that the Nongshim ones were very similar to Samyang.

>>17414443
The general appeal of Samyang isn't meme spice, there's plenty hotter noodles out there. They're loved because they put as much effort into making them taste nice as they did in making them hot.

Has anyone tried this version of the carbo? I think its supposed to be extra creamy and cheesy. I might order some today.

>>17414449
Kimchi is so underrated, they always have the most stock in the store cause nobody buys them. Easily in my top 3

>>17414454

I tried the cheese, which didn't taste like cheese at all. The curry, which didn't taste like curry. The 2x spicy which indeed was pretty spicy but had no flavour other than OH MAN THIS IS SPICY. The Jjajang (green) one was actually okay now that I think of it. The 40% lower calories one has no spice AND no flavour and the black bean one was just spicy and didn't taste anything like black bean sauce.

So whatever if you like them good on you I will stick with Nongshim or Ottogi.

>>17414496
You tried a few of the worst, the curry and cheese are down the list for me too. I never tried the 40% lowcal. Give the original 1x spicy a try it's the best seller for a reason

>>17414496
Also are you following the package instructions? They're a stir fry noodle. If you make them like a soup with all the water they taste like nothing. You only add a couple of oz of the cooking liquid to make a thick sauce

>>17414496
>>17414505
curry and cheese are my faves lol
corn is the worst
kimchi and 2x spice are pretty good
i can't remember if i'd tried any others
