Thai KitchenInstant Rice Noodle Soup Variety Pack, 19.2 oz

Great soups

This is one of my favorite soups. All of the different flavors are nice and mild, and very tasty. I usually add a little salt after I cook it, but that's just me. I like how easy they are to make, and how quickly I can make it. It's my emergency go-to for when hunger strikes and I'm feeling weak. The soups thicken up nicely after you let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the rice noodles to soak up the liquid and flavors. It ends up being mostly noodles then, which is the way I like it. I highly recommend!

Love these for when I just need some noodles without all the waiting! The garlic and lemongrass flavors are distinct but the spring onion is pretty bland. I always add my own lime juice and sriracha to them anyway. They all have the same oil packet, so they do taste a bit similar if you’ve had them before, but you can make them your own. Not as filling as I’d hope, kinda always wanna eat 2 but do the job if you are craving noodles. Easy to make but wish they were a tad cheaper since they aren’t as filling.

Update: When I made this review, these were $14.99 and a great deal. Sometimes they are cheaper to buy them in a store.My Review: These noodles are good. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. This is a great, cheap meal that is quick and easy to make. I used to live in Thailand. I am gluten free - so these are the best quick meals for me when I don't feel like really cooking. My favorite one - most flavorful, is the one with garlic & chili. These meals are reminiscent of basic Thai noodle meals I would eat when I lived in Thailand.These are not going to taste like Ramen noodles - packed with insane levels of salt and chemicals. This is much healthier with less ingredients. If it isn't flavorful enough for you, add some spices. I always add a massive amount of cayenne after it's heated up and soaking. It is much much more flavorful. I also wanted to really get a good amount of broth when eating the noodles. In order to do this, I need the noodles to be smaller. I will take the packet (after opening it, while holding the end closed) and crunch those noodles up with my hands while it is still in its packaging. Then, I open and pour it in a bowl and pour boiling water over it. I have a kettle to heat up the water. But, rice noodles can be tricky and it's never cooked by that alone. So I then put it in the microwave for 1 minute (sometimes 1 1/2) and then I let it sit for another minute and it's perfect. Since I broke the noodles into smaller pieces, I can then eat it with a spoon (for more broth) or a fork.

Wow! First of all... what's going on with the price?These are "good," but not that good. I bought them as an alternative to cheap ramen noodles---which I love! But gluten does not love me so much. :( The taste is...okay. If you're thinking it's going to taste just like the cheap ramen noodles you are used to, think again. They are a different taste. Okay, but not comparable.Here's my issue, and why I probably won't be buying these again. There's still a good deal of sodium in each package. Not as much as traditional cheap ramen noodles, but enough to make it a high-sodium choice. Also, some of the flavors have ingredients that don't really support my effort to eat healthier. Personally, I think I also have any issue with MSG, and there are ingredients in these soups that are forms of MSG.If you don't have problems with salt or MSG, and you're just looking for a gluten-free alternative to cheap ramen noodles, you MIGHT find this option okay. But if you're looking for a "health food," this is possibly not what you are looking for.

Awesome replacement for ramen noodle packets for those of us who cannot eat gluten products.They did come in a soft sided envelope package rather than a box, but the rice noodles bend a bit when dry so there was minimal breakage.Flavors are good. Strong enough without being overpowering. If you are used to very salty ramen packet flavoring, this will taste bland in comparison, but just look at the ingredients lists to see how much "less bad" these instant noodles are for you than most instant noodle packets/cups.There are also a ton of ways to prepare them. You can microwave or cook on the stovetop. I will also boil water and then pour it into a bowl over the noodles and let them sit for a while to soften. Even if the noodles are broken, you can just add a bit more liquid and make noodle soup!These are definitely my new post-work "I don't want to cook but an hungry" pantry staple.
