tastes so good. and VEGAN!!!!

When i was looking around for vegan ramen i came across nongshim veggie, dr.mcdougalls, top ramen oriental, and top ramen spicy. I couldn't decide so i ordered all 4. Dr. Mcdougall: bland, didn't taste anything, but it wasn't bad Top ramen oriental: considering how much ive heard of it, it wasn't good at all. I personally didnt like. it tastes at little below average, maybe the ramen i had before were top knot, but i wasn't wowed. Top ramen spicy: it wasn't spicy! it tasted so similar to the oriental NONGSHIM SOON VEGGIE NOODLE: amazing! besides it from being vegan, it was the best ramen ive ever tasted. Personally for me it wasn't at all spicy.

gourmet ramen? not an oxymoron

gourmet ramen? is that an oxymoron? nope. this is the real deal, this ramen has a texture that is unmatched. the seasoning is SO GOOD that I hoard extra packets or portions of packets and use this seasoning as an all purpose addition to other foods that I'm cooking or eating. I've tried so many types and brands of ramen, but I just can't find even one that is close to this brand and flavor. it's a bit hot, so if you don't like pepper, you might want to use less of the flavor packet while cooking. where this brand shines is the unique texture, it doesn't have that mushy or overly soft texture that is found in so many domestic ramen and even international brands. this one has a decent bite to it, so it really fills you up, and feels satisfying when you eat it. a true meal. this stuff is so good that after a long hard day at work, a hearty bowl of this soup is an awesome meal to quickly cook and enjoy while watching Dramafever and unwinding. the price that it's listed at now (approximately $1 per packet) is better than the local Asian markets or anywhere else online. the price can fluctuate, so if you see it @ or around $1 per pack, that's the best deal, and I encourage you to go ahead and try it. i've got it on subscribe & save because it's at the affordable price right now. this is ramen you feel good eating, proud serving or sharing with friends.

Best Flavor of the Best Ramen Brands

Nongshim, do NOT ever change or discontinue this product! I consider myself a ramen/r[l]amyeon connoisseur and I've tried nearly every ramen Nongshim has on the market here in the USA. The vegan veggie by far is the BEST of all the company has to offer. First, we start with the noodle. It has a phenomenal mouth-feel to it. Unlike other noodles that get mushy if they soak up the broth, this noodle remains al dente and still has a good, firm texture that satisfies the pleasure of eating, as well as fills the tummy! The broth. I honestly wasn't expecting a spicy broth, but uh...it's Korean, so what was I thinking? The surprise was a pleasant one. I was expecting a slightly bland vegetable broth, but Nongshim makes a home run with a broth that bites back. Add a few fresh vegetables or top this off with a fried egg and you've got a perfect comfort food that is filling and warming for winter night munchies. Even in the summer, the broth is so clean on the palate and refreshing that a side of avocado or sliced cucumbers would make this a vegan dream! Customer Warning: This is a Korean ramen, hence it is spicy. I've eaten Nongshim's spiciest and thought I'd wind up with blisters on my lips! (It was a good spicy, still.) So, I've run the scale of spiciness with this brand. If you shy away from buffalo wings or the idea of cracked red pepper on your pizza or Italian dish is not an option, this may not be for you. Do NOT expect a mild chicken soup flavor. In Korea, THIS is MILD because Korean dishes are typically so hot that Americans often have trouble eating there when touring. Still, this is a good place to start if you want to build up your tolerance to spicy Korean foods. Start here and work your way up. Step away from Top Ramen and Maruchan. While they're cheaper, you get what you pay for (and I grew up on those two). Even if you can't handle spice, try this anyway. You'll get used to it. I did.

Best Ramen Ever

Yes it has some spice, it’s not crazy spicy but if you are one of those “I tried a spicy chicken sandwich at Chickfila and now I’m suing because my tastebuds are scorched. So now the rest of you can’t have spicy chicken biscuits” people who ruin spicy stuff for the rest of us- Just sit this one out.

Absolutely Fantastic!

I have loved NongShim for many years. It wasn't until another amazon reviewer made a video that understood the difference in NongShim Shin Black Noodle Soup, Spicy. Though I use the Red too, I am extremely pleased with this product and that of Amazon as well. The NongShim Shin Black Noodle Soup, Spicy is Not Hot but, Spicy. Some people don't care for hot & spicy. So it was with great pleasure and a nice surprise that not only do I enjoy these products but, that of my wife and son too. Therefore the entire family can enjoy a good, quick and tasty meal to their liking rather than just mine. I sent (5) packs of the BLACK to my son too see his response as his lady friend doesn't eat HOT foods. Their response was AWESOME as is mine too! Well done, Tastes Great and Ships Fast!

Very good.

If you like Nong Shim's spicy seafood and kimchi ramen, you will love this. I like to alternate these three. They're all great when jazzed-up with other things, as ramen should be. The delivery bastard was in my area (I tracked it online), and refused to deliver due to some snow on the roads, so this ended up as 3-day "prime" delivery. Sure, it was snowing. The US Postal Service still delivered the same day. USPS gave me a big pile of junk mail paper that went right into the recycle bin. How nice. If you like something, always save the empty packaging. This will help you find more later on. Ordering this 10-pack online saved me a drive 10 miles each way down Powers Blvd. in Colorado Springs.

My (almost) favourite ramen!

I think that this is my favourite not-fresh ramen. I love these. They are just spicy enough, and very tasty. The vegetable packet is more generous than other brands of ramen (still could be a little bigger, lol). The noodles come round, rather than square like some other brands, too. Also, I taste the dry noodles. These have a nice flavor before you cook them, whereas many other brands do not. They taste, smell, and look like of much better quality than most. I am comparing these mainly to U.S. brands of ramen, but some Japanese brands, as well! This ramen comes with 3 different packets. 2 seasoning packets, and one veggie packet. The seasoning packets are larger and more flavorful than other brands. As for eating them, these noodles are good alone... but they are GREAT when you take the time to eat them the way ramen should be eaten--with additions! I cook some pork tenderloin, and slice it thin. I soft - medium boil an egg. I sautee scallions, daikon (if I don't have that, I use just regular white radishes), enoki mushrooms (regular ol' white or bella mushrooms if I don't have those), and other veggies. Boil some fishcake/narutomaki (if I have it). Lastly, I make the ramen. All of this delicousness goes on top of the ramen.

The best "ramen" we've ever had - has a nice heat but won't light you on fire. Beware the serving size.

These amazing noodles. This variety has a much higher quality noodle with a nice chew. There are "vegetables" included but they are really just shaved mushroom and a bit of green onion. You could easily add some pea pods or bean sprouts to get a few vitamins. The "black" variety is spicier than the other Nongshim Shin Big Bowl Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 3.03 Ounce (Pack of 12) both have a great beef flavor. You get a much bigger block of noodles in the Black variety - and if you're watching your calories, you need to know that each package is considered two servings. If you eat the whole thing, it's a 560 calorie meal that's not really providing you with the quality of nutrients you need. We eat these occasionally - usually at the end of a really long day when neither of us can work up the energy to cook something. We love them!

A huge step up from then 10-cent ramen packets

I practically lived off this stuff in college, and ten years later, I still think it's delicious. The noodles are thick and chewy, an not only do you get a spice packet, but you also get a packet of freeze-dried veggies. I like to add a few things of my own: frozen spinach, frozen seafood mix, a poached egg, and some cold kimchi at the end. Using this ramyun, you can easily make a delicious and filling meal for about $1-$2.

But nothing that a dash of gochugaru or black pepper can't do to get it to taste exactly like Shin Ramyun

For some weird reason, many instant noodle products that are sold in the US seem to have different recipes/ingredients from the original. Shin Ramyun is one such product that contains beef extract when the original or at least the one I have tried did not. Soon veggie is a milder version of Shin Ramyun. But nothing that a dash of gochugaru or black pepper can't do to get it to taste exactly like Shin Ramyun..So 5 stars for this amazing product!
