Buldak Korean Spicy Chicken Stir Fried Ramen Original Flavor Spicy Noodles Authentic Korean Ramyun 4.94 oz, 5 Count (Pack of 2)

I got curious enough during Spicy Noodle Challenge times to order this 5-pack. It's a better deal per unit than ordering just one, but I was hesitant because, you know, if it wound up being inedibly hot, I didn't want to be stuck with 4 packets of unwanted ramen. Eventually, my love of ramen and my sense of adventure took over and I hit the order button. I would rate my spice tolerance as higher than average, so I wasn't sure what to expect. When it comes to the Spicy Noodle Challenge, there are a whole lot of highly dramatic videos and reviews, and then there are some spice-acclimated people going, 'yeah, it's spicy, but whatevs'. So, I was a little afraid in case it *was* actually nuclear spice levels, but I also suspected that I would be in the latter category. I made the ramen and the aroma was deceptively mellow, so I was a bit surprised at the heat at the first bite. Definitely very spicy. "Oh no," I thought, "If this is the first bite, it's gonna get so bad." But then, interestingly, the heat kind of mellowed out from there. It didn't build and accumulate as I continued to eat, it just stayed about the same level as the initial heat. My mouth was burning, for sure, but I was able to finish it without any struggle. It's definitely spicy and I can definitely see people with lower spice tolerances finding it a challenge! I had the foresight to put lip balm on, so my lips weren't burning that bad.. my sinuses cleared, causing my nose to run, and I had some residual burning in my mouth for maybe 20 minutes afterward. A bit later, a mild capsaicin high kicked in, which was nice. The noodles are stellar and are probably the best I’ve found in instant ramen. They have the best texture, very pleasantly chewy and firm. Flavor-wise, to be honest, it's almost all heat/spice, which overwhelms the other flavors. Every now and then, the chicken/seaweed/sesame flavor comes through, and it's good, but it's like one bite out of four. The rest, it's just a lot of spiciness that overwhelms the palate. However, I liked them so much that I not only finished a 5-pack, I ordered another! :D

This is good quality and better than the local grocery. The noodles are thick and take 5 minutes to cook vs 1 or 1 1/2 for the college student ones. It is quite spicy. I like spice as much as anyone but I have already reduced the amount I use from the package and I will reduce again the next time. I only just learned you can make a better meal by adding things to the bowl. So far I have added cooked shrimp and a boiled egg sliced in half. I'm sure Mr. Google can give you more ideas. The price is excellent too!

These are my favorite ramen noodles. However, i wish they were a little cheaper! ha-ha but they have such good flavor to them and tons of spice! I LOVE spicy food, so they aren't too bad for me. I love how they also sell the sauce in a bottle too so sometimes i add extra sauce to it! I highly recommend these ramen noodles to anyone who loves spicy food. I can't get enough of these! I go through a bag every 2 weeks! ha-ha

I go for ramen

It’s really spicy, it made my nose run. A little bit thicker than regular noodles but it isn’t bad, I like it

classic, the best noodles u can buy

These noodles have a perfect amount of spice for someone who enjoys some heat. The flavor is pretty good, but with a few additions, you can take your bowl to another level. Add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream, a tablespoon of your chili crisp of choice, a teaspoon of sugar, a little white pepper, and a small splash of toasted sesame oil. YOU WILL BE ADDICTED.

I once fancied myself a connoisseur of spicy foods, but no longer harbor that delusion. A review of this lava ramen will be forthcoming once my taste buds have regrown their nerve endings. I only write to warn other foolish souls that unless you daily drink Da Bomb, this ramen is Not For You.

Son loves these for quick snack, he puts fried onions and cheese mixed in with noodles

Pican rico. Me gustaron.

Very delicious but VERY spicy. The secret to avoid the burning sensation in your mouth, eat them with fried eggs.

Brought as party of a Xmas gift for my husband. Arrived quickly and value for money with the amount you get. He was very happy and loves the taste and heat of them!! Wil definitely buy again!

Sehr gut und ein guter Kauf
