After the soup boils, then put in your noodles for a couple minutes, that way you won’t get the porridge consistency. Maybe I’m weird but I like when it’s porridge like Either way 10/10. I like it a lot!
Weee Yummy in the Tummy
Tasty and flavorful, however noodles were broken into pieces that looked like rice

The crab noodle soup is delicious. The broth is great.
asics2506
In my opinion, it tastes sweeter when seasoned again.
Bella Dang
Crab noodle soup (or crab rice noodle soup) is okay, but personally, I didn't find it very tasty. I wouldn't buy it again.
Quinn
The rice noodles were broken and the seasoning was bland. Not tasty.
MasterChaos
Nasty. Nasty. And NASTY. The udon is broken up to little pieces. It kills my apatite. Don’t want to even taste it. It doesn’t even look like human foods.
tanngo1988
The taste was edible. But the rice noodles were too crumbly.
NThanh
Those flat crab noodle are so good when cooking them and are so easy to chew on them and are so enjoyable and so almost transparent and yet it was also briefly worth the size they have and this bag from the outside looks like a graphic novel version and that looks fun and very designable to see them
Adigo lee
It's a small crab, and it tastes a bit fishy.

The crab noodle soup I bought last time was delicious, so I bought it again. However, this time Wee delivered it in a different box, although it's still the same brand. I hope it will be as delicious as the last time I bought it!

Took it out from the box. This is how it looks inside. It’s in a black bowl. It’s very good. This is a repurchase of every time.
