good flavor and spice level
i loooove these ramen! very nice heat w a great flavor not for beginners tho. almost 10,000 SHU. if you are into spicy food HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Don't believe the youtube videos until you try it for yourself. i have bought this many times over years always a favorite to revisit. as an added plus it is vegan as per google the chicken flavor is artificial so that makes it that much better.

Best ramen I have ever had
I have a high spice tolerance, and eat these every day sometimes multiple times a day, 100% worth every penny. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who loves spicy foods, I have recommended these noodles to every person who is willing to listen to me. Admittedly, this may be too spicy for those with a low spicy tolerance or who do not often eat spicy foods. I eat the spiciest foods I can find for every snack, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These are among my favorite snacks. Follow the instructions on the packaging, and you will taste perfection.

Yummy
I loved this flavor. I didn't use much of the spicy sauce seasoning cause I'm a wimp with just a tiny drizzle put in. If you can tolerate the spiciness of this ramen, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I put some shredded cheese in it and added steak or prosciutto. Would get it again if I could find a less spicy version.

The BEST instant ramen (and Carbo is the best flavor imo)
We love trying different flavors of instant ramen- they make a quick and tasty lunch with an egg stirred in and some green onion or seaweed or what have you sprinkled on top. I've tried the "original" black package version, the 2x spicy version, the curry version, cheese, and Carbo. Carbo is by far my favorite, with curry a close second. The noodles have the best texture of any instant ramen I've tried. The sauce that comes in every packet is flavorful and spicy- if you like it spicier, just add more of this delicious sauce, and if it's not for you, put less. It's easy to customize the heat to your liking. Carbo comes with a seasoning packet as well that stirs into the noodles at the end, making the noodles a little creamy and garlicky. I can't say it actually tastes like "carbonara"- no bacon or pea flavor to be found here- but it is delicious, and clings enticingly to the bouncy, chewy noodles. These are absolutely addictive. I just ate the last packet in the house and I'm already thinking about when my next shipment arrives.

I love these noodles even if they are crazy spicy.
I grew up eating spicy foods, so I thought this wouldnβt be too spicy for meβ¦ I was wrong. These noodles are delicious, but my mouth was painfully on fire. lol I eventually learned that if I only use HALF of the sauce in the red packet, itβs much better and easier to handle. I will definitely buy these again. Such a good deal for these noodles.

Great product, but shipping is terrible
One of the bowls came completely smashed. I wanted to try to see if I could get a replacement, but there's no place to ask for that under orders. Otherwise, I'm excited to try the other two.

Excellent Noodles with Potent Physiological Properties
After seeing many "Korean Fire Noodle" challenges online, I have to admit that I was skeptical. Were the (admittedly pasty and Anglo-Saxon) people in the videos acting for the camera? How could a commercially available food product push grown men into such screeching palsies?Now I know why. I made my first batch of these only moments after they arrived at my door. After preparing these as directed by the friendly pictograms on the back label (though I should have been warned away by the cartoon chicken holding what appeared to be some sort of warning sign), I sat down at my table to test my mettle against the sad and pathetic people in the videos. I should also note that my Korean wife was sitting next to me with a slightly amused expression (another warning ignored).My first bite was uneventful. The noodles were firm, with a pleasant texture, and the sauce was flavorful and spicy. After my second and third bites, as my mouth's capsaicin receptors become more and more saturated, things started to change. What was once a nice tingling was now staring to build into something else. After the fifth and sixth bites, my mouth was now a searing pit. Beads of sweat formed on my face as my body's cooling mechanisms kicked in. As I finished the bowl (a feat I still can't believe I accomplished) my mouth was in full panic mode. My heart rate and respiration increased as I became more convinced that I somehow contrived to eat a big bowl of lava.At this point I was in a sort of pain-fueled hallucinatory trace. I transcended my body, even as I became aware of my hands frenetically fanning my face, mouth agape in a pitiable attempt to dissipate the hellish, pulsating agony. My wife, I should note, was slapping her knees and weeping tears of joy.Only after 15 minutes, as I lay in a sodden and boneless heap, did the endorphins start trickling into my system. Finally, the maw of flaming sulfur that had been my mouth started to extinguish.The pain began to fade, replaced by a pleasant tingling. After e few more moments, I breathed deeply, shuddered, and was still.But this was not the end of my journey. A different type of pain began to emerge as the noodles worked their way through my gastrointestinal tract. As the day went on, my innards began to spasm, horrible and groping, as if they were trying desperately to push through my abdomen to freedom, no doubt looking for the nearest basin of water. By the next morning, my agony was inverted, and my normal morning ritual became a fresh excruciation. Fortunately it was a Saturday. Work would not have been an option.On a side note, my wife also had a bowl and proclaimed them "spicy, but too sweet," and then went about her business. She is made of stronger stuff than I.In short, the noodles have a nice texture, very spicy, but slightly too sweet. I recommend half of the lava packet. Also be prepared for a least a day of recovery time. Good luck.

Oh why did I have this for my office lunch?
Wanted to start getting into eating for less and these noodles with a soup cup both purchased from Amazon made it ideal.So here's me giving it the large to impress the ladies in the office and started bragging about a bit.Cooking straight forward, how water in, cover for 5 mins and drain the water to add the sachets of hell and flavour.Sat down ready to nosh the lot as quickly as poss and first bite to examine the lunch. Second bite in and hang on.... what's this happening? why is my nose running? how come my forehead is sweating? ..I can't feel my tongue let alone my mouth!Then realising this is not just hot but bloody hell what am I eating ..one spoon is the equivalent of 10-15 Bombaybadboypot noodles.Now the choice, do i whimper away and bin the lot or do I commit and continue on to punish me and my guts by finishing this off? Well after 20 minutes of drinking fizzy cola and eating a choccy bar in between (all I had available) I completed the task and decided to share the packets to my fellow colleges as no way would i go through another round unless I sacrifice the hot sauce sachet or only use a tad instead of the lot.Good news is following day, I can feel my mouth and also the bowels didn't collapse upon themselves.If you got the taste for hot stuff like this, give it a go but be warned...it's very spicy.Sadly I have dishonoured my family and heritage as being an British Asian man, I can no longer take the hot stuff.

Came in 2nd out of 6 during a noodle tasting
If you are in Toronto, you can buy these for cheaper at H-mart. If I recall correctly, it's about $8 for the pack. Though $10 including delivery isn't a bad deal here. Just saying.My coworkers and I are having noods tastings every week at work. We gather any and all noodles we can find, sort them and do a tasting. These noodles were unanimously liked by all 5 of us (1 Russian, 1 Viet, 1 Korean, 1 Nigerian, and 1 Japanese/Chinese). It came in 2nd place against the Laksa noodles (search amazon for it, they're $4 a pack and worth it!) which was also a unanimous vote. It was also against Panang White Curry Mee and Nongshim Shin Black (tied for 3rd place). In 4th was the Nongshim 2x Spicy, and last was Nongshim Chapagetti.It is spicy but the spice goes away quickly and it's flavourful. It's not just spicy to spite you.Noodles always taste better when cooked over a stove top. We don't have a stove at work and had to resort to the age old boiled water and microwave but they still tasted great.10/10 recommended if u like noodles and can enjoy spice. Not as spicy as the 2x.Were doing more noods and plan to do an all-star tasting. I will end this review when the time comes. Probably will be a while though as we have enough noods to do at least 3 more tastings.

These are pretty hot but if you like spicy food and hot ...
These are pretty hot but if you like spicy food and hot sauces they are a PERFECT mix of heat/taste IMO; they give me a little bit of a sweat on but they were extremely tasty with an enjoyable level of heat.A word of advice, DON'T drink the left over spicy water, as spicy water is what will come out the other end!

You might die
I bought this as a birthday present for a relative (they requested it), and got myself an extra pack to try them out to see if I like them. So on receipt of the package I commenced the creation of my first meal with the noodles. It was relatively simple and the process was kind of fun.On sitting to eat the noodles, I discovered that my relative probably had wanted the noodles for some initiation rite. They were pretty hot. I thought, 'Hey, a glass of milk will help!' (because of that episode from Spooks, where they got tear gassed and the guy said to use milk - somehow its related - if you eat something super spicy don't reach for the water, reach for the milk. I am sure there is a more educated science person who can explain why the alkaline is helpful when your mouth feels like you have inflicted what can only be described as acid burns to your own tongue and mouth). I thought I might die.I hate milk. But milk was my only saviour.Personally, I highly rate the product. It had a really enjoyable flavour, packs a punch, and if you want to feel like you might meet your Higher Power sooner rather than later, I would totally recommend.Side note - after I had recovered from the burning in my mouth, I decided to give another one a go the next day. This was far more successful - probably due to the fact that most of my tastebuds had been murdered the day before. I have since continued to work my way through the pack.I have advised my relative that they should probably add more chilli to the finished prepped noodles just to make sure it's hot enough for them.(p.s. you may want an ice pad to sit on roughly 4-6 hours after consumption)

Call 999, cus your going to be on Fire π₯
My Good God, why? Currently my lips, tounge and throat are on fire...like hot as Hell itself kinda fire! Even the Milk isn't helping! Why?? Why would people make these, what sick sadistic person thinks this is food? This is not food this is torture! Now body thinks I hate it and have instigated chemical warfare. It's not Covid 19 that's going to take me out, its these devil noodles. My insides are burning π₯π₯ it's ok though I only brought 5 packets π€―π₯΅
