Hakubaku Authentic Plain Ramen Noodles bulk (8 PACK) Kaedama. Product of Japan. Good Asian Teriyaki cold noodles for Yakisoba

So like most kids starting out in college, cheap ramen noodles was a staple... even when I went into the military, they were almost like a luxury compared to some of the food that was served to us. Later on in life, we started getting the much better ramen at some local Japanese resturants and suddenly those Murachan and Top Ramen seemed like a distant memory. Recently I started seeing ads on Facebook for ramen noodle toppings and I was intrigued. For Prime Day week I ordered these noodles along with Topsun dried vegetable mix toppings and Samabila chicken flavor seasoning. This ended up being a fantastic combination... like taking the nostalgia of the cheap ramen and the quality and flavor of resturant ramen. Granted it is a few extra steps but well worth it. Perfect for a work lunch when I am busy or at home when we dont' feel like going out.Cheap ramen will now just be an emergency food... this is too good to keep in a cabinent and never use.

The media could not be loaded. Video shows my homemade tantanmen ramen. (Little secret for ramen lovers out there trying to get into homemade territory: unsweetened soymilk heated to partially reduce + properly seasoned will be shockingly close to real tonkotsu broth. I personally use Lee Kum Kee chicken powder + a dried mushroom spice blend. Of course, this is just the broth, don't forget the specific dashi for the ramen you're making.)The noodles are a tad pricey but very high quality, on par with what you'd get at a typical ramen joint out here in LA County/San Gabriel Valley. Keeping the par-with-ramen-shop theme, a single packet in terms of noodle quantity is also reflective of what you'd be served at a typical ramen restaurant.If I could rate 4.5 stars I could just because of the slightly high price, but leaning 5 stars because of the sheer quality. You can chuck the box in the fridge and the noodles (which are packed freshly made, btw) will last weeks, months in the freezer. Because they're freshly made, they take only ~90sec to cook to a springy al dente vs the 4-7 minutes you'd need for dry/dehydrated noodles. On top of that, they're heat resistant out of the pot, as I've experienced minimal softening even without washing the noodles while I assemble the ramen bowl.Ramen connoisseurs know how integral noodle quality is for a good ramen bowl, and these are the best I've used so far for home cooking. Worth the price? Maybe not for every single bowl, but great for those weeks you want to treat yourself or on the occasion you get to show off ramen skills to guests.

I absolutely love these noodles. They're packaged soft. Not the freeze dried kind you normally think of.Cooking them up is super easy and they have a great eggy taste and fantastic texture. I will be ordering again and suggest you give them a try if you haven't.

Good ramen, but not worth $22

These Japanese ramen noodles are delicious and a perfect quantity for a stir fry or pho.

These were not actually the exact style of noodles I was looking for, and I have to admit I was disappointed when I saw them, thinking they were just ordinary Ramen. Maybe they are ordinary, and maybe I just never had good ramen before. These noodles are amazing, some of the best I've ever had ever. They even smell wonderful when cooked. Will be buying these again. Strongly recommend.

These are great, not deep fried, the package is the right size for one or two people depending on what you may add. Great texture, fast cooking. I keep a few of these in my pantry all the time now.

I had high hopes for these but unfortunately like several others have mentioned, these noodles are very play doh- like and I struggled to eat them such that I ended up tossing my whole bowl. After just one minute of adding hot water they become a gummie texture and then after that they become mush. Maybe these would be better for stir fry but as a ramen soup buyer beware, these suck
