Tonkotsu Ramen with Kuromayu Noodle Big Bowl, 3.56 Ounce (Pack Of 6)

If you are looking for a step up from the cheap 25-cent square packs of ramen, this is it. I started buying these as an after-school snack for my teenager, and they have become a permanent staple in our pantry. Why these stand out: The "Kuromayu" (Black Garlic Oil): This is the game changer. It comes in a little packet you add at the end. It gives the broth a deep, smoky, authentic flavor that tastes like it came from a ramen shop rather than a microwave. Actual Satiety: These are "Big Bowls" - Unlike the smaller cups, one of these actually fills up a hungry teen until dinner time. Spice Level: It’s very mild! If your kid doesn't like spicy food, they will be fine with this. It’s creamy and savory, not hot. Bulk Value: Buying the 6-pack on Amazon is usually significantly cheaper than buying individual bowls at the upscale grocery store. Level it up: If you want to make it a full meal, my teen drops a soft-boiled egg or some leftover rotisserie chicken in there. Bottom Line: It’s a bit more expensive than basic ramen, but the quality jump is massive. It’s the only instant noodle my kid actually asks for by name now.

Good value and good quality. Affordable for the 6 pack. At a local store near me they cost each $4.19. This brand is very similar to what I had in Japan. It comes with a seasoning packet and a packet of chili. Your choice to use or don't use chili. Easy to prepare.. add water to the line inside the bowl and microwave it. Or just add hot water , keep covered for a few minutes then stir and remove paper lid. I like to add fresh sliced veggies and sliced ham or beef to it. It's very tasty broth is delicious too. I definitely recommend!!

Pretty fantastic for the price. On the higher end of instant noodles, which is why it justifies the price (~$2 per bowl). Wouldn't call this expensive, as it's Nongshim 'premium' variety, so it's just 'more expensive' than cheaper cup noodles. Great flavor, some of the best soup base I've had, and isn't stuffed with freeze-fried vegetables that get stuck in my teeth. I do somewhat agree that it is a very strong flavor if made per directions, but that just means you can season to taste. The included oil is a great addition. Overall a great noodle bowl with lots of potential to add your own ingredients. I also sort of agree that the 4 minute time is only recommended for soft noodles. Just a matter of dialing in your preference, just know that you might want to start with less time if you prefer noodles that aren't quite that soft.

Good but not worth $2 per serving. The broth is good with good umami flavor, but this is not so much better than my usual Tonkotsu Ramen, by Sapporo Ichiban, which costs $1 per serving.

We normally buy the Tonkotsu noodles from Costco with the spicy oil packet. I was happy to find these online with a black garlic oil season packet, as I don't care care for spicy things. The flavor is deep and amazing. I love it! Super easy to prepare...take off top, add water and seasonings, done in 4 minutes. Yum!

Perfect quick meal on-the-go that I bought for my daughter. Easy to make and tasty!

Good flavor but noodles are soft and soggy. I expected more from a premium brand. However the portion is better than most instant romen and It comes with sauce and a huge powered pack for flavoring with a generous amount. A 6 count packaged neatly. The noodles are semi thick. Heat level gets semi warm but mostly cold. Versatile if you add your own veggies / eggs pairs very well. Easy to make and functions well.

OMG, where have these delectable noodles been hiding? Perfect portion (with a bit of tofu, of course, at least for me), the soup base is a little bland, but the black chili oil kicks it up a notch (or 3). No need for soy sauce, So easy, 4 minutes in it's own bowl, and the noodles are perfect! I have subscribed! Nongshim is a great noodle company, love their other noodles, too! Try them, you will like them!
