Delicious and goes a long way.
Ready to make the ramen tonight
This bag on the inside makes it convenient and makes me cook it into soup by just using water and it’s super simple and easy to make and this makes this taste more gold and so enjoyable to drink it with noodles like ramen and that does the better thing for us.
Haven’t tried it as of yet
The soup base arrived perfectly sealed, rich, creamy, and flavorful.
Decent ramen broth for at home ramen!!
I ordered some ramen to try making it at home. I'm looking forward to it.
This was amazing I used it as shabu shabu broth and it was so flavorful and not spicy so it was good for my kids
First time to order this. Looks great.
I'll buy it again. It's a small pack, but it's definitely enough for four people. The taste is good.
Packaged well
I bought this because tonkotsu ramen is my favorite. It was delicious.
Will always get this everytIme cant live without these noodles
Good flavor.
Tonkkotsu ramen is the best
Repeat purchase, satisfied customer!
Good cheap ramen
This is very delicious and very tasty
this is my favorite type of ramen. The black garlic oil adds an extra richness to the already smooth broth.
It's still a year away from expiring. A must-have for every household.
The pork flavor is rich and savory, making this tonkatsu ramen satisfying and easy to prepare.

this really goid.taste like restaurant served ra n en.tge kids live it
I bought it because the reviews were good. I'm looking forward to eating it.
I especially love this ramen. It's gone from $2+ to $6+, and if it goes any higher, I'd rather eat it in the restaurant.
I bought three kinds because they were on sale. It was a hot day, so I suppose it's somewhat unavoidable, but they were slightly thawed.
This is our favorite ramen…repurchased many times.
Repurchased!
I love tonkotsu ramen so I tried this brand. It’s so good and delicious Will order again.
This is my first time buying! I've tried several kinds of Japanese ramen before!
This is a simple and convenient ramen recipe, but the portion size is a bit small. You can add more noodles to cook as needed.
Always stocked in my pantry!
These noodles taste good!
Ichiran wasn't on sale, so I bought this instead, and it's pretty good. They ran out of eggs, so I substituted them with dried seaweed, and it tasted even better with the char siu on top. I'm thinking of trying other flavors...!!!
Japanese ramen that's quick and easy to make, with a rich broth and springy noodles.
I bought it before and it was great with char siu and egg.
Taste just like it’s from the restaurant
I bought it before and thought it was very good.
Price is great one of the best offer for the price for instant noodles
Been buying this brand, Nongshim at Amazon but now I can conveniently order it through Weee!
pcked well will order again
First time buying it, the taste is okay~
This is absolutely delicious it smells good even before you put anything in it’s so good definitely buying again no doubt
AMAZING FLAVOR!!!!
This brand is so yummy but Costco only sells in bulk and I can’t find elsewhere near me.
one of my favorites I love this
Not really... The sauce doesn't stick to the noodles, so individually...
Great tasting quick ramen. Flavorful.
Yummy and savory
