Nongshim Shin Black Noodle Soup, Spicy, 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)

I’ve tried my fair share of ramen over the years, but Shin Black Ramen Noodles truly stands out as one of the best. This stuff is next-level!Flavor:The broth is bold and flavorful, with the perfect balance of spice and richness. It’s not just spicy for the sake of heat – there’s a deep, savory umami that really elevates the overall taste. The heat level is definitely on the higher side, but it’s that perfect type of spicy where you keep coming back for more. The addition of garlic, onion, and the hint of miso makes it absolutely addictive. I’ve had other spicy ramen that feels like it’s just burning your mouth, but Shin Black offers complexity and depth that makes each slurp more satisfying than the last.Noodles:The noodles themselves are fantastic. They have that perfect chewy texture that holds up well in the broth without getting soggy. They soak up the flavor beautifully and are just the right thickness to create a satisfying bite. I love that they feel like restaurant-quality ramen – not the thin, flimsy noodles you get in many instant ramen packets.Packaging & Convenience:I really appreciate the thoughtful packaging – the ramen comes with a separate seasoning packet, which keeps everything fresh. It’s incredibly easy to prepare; you can have a delicious bowl ready in under 5 minutes. As someone who doesn’t always have time to cook a full meal, this is a great option for a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner.Portion Size:The portion size is generous – it’s filling enough to be a hearty meal on its own, but also works well if you want to add your own toppings like a boiled egg, some vegetables, or a bit of meat. I’ve enjoyed it both as is and with some extra add-ins, and it’s always satisfying.Overall Value:For the quality and flavor, this ramen is a steal! It’s a bit more expensive than your standard instant noodles, but you get what you pay for. The quality, flavor complexity, and satisfaction it delivers are totally worth the price.In conclusion, Shin Black Ramen has earned its place as my go-to spicy ramen. If you love bold, flavorful, and spicy noodles, you absolutely need to try these. Highly recommend!

The aroma of this ramen is wonderful Between the season packet, the bone broth packet, and the mushrooms it is a great combination. It is very mushroom forward which I enjoy. I would not say that it is spicy per say but it does have a lingering heat. I do not like spice much but I do quite enjoy this. If You're worried, just add less of the seasoning pack so you have less spice. Doesn't need any additions, microwaves easily, or just add boiled water. Great value for the quality of the ramen. These are large cups too so the size is great - larger than the cup ramen brand. Noodles are the perfect thickness, and easy to get to the desired tenderness.

This is my absolute favorite ramen that you can purchase. It is so creamy, and a little spicy. It is delicious as I'd, or can be jazzed up. I highly recommend it, especially on a cold day!

Love ramen noodles...dined on them throughout my years in college. Compared to the instant brands I used to have in college (Maruchan, Top Ramen, etc. that would cost around $4 for 20-30 packets), Nongshim is several steps up, but also as much as 10x the price per packet.First and foremost, Ramen is a best as an occasional meal option if you need something quick...I would not recommend choking down a bowl of instant ramen daily as they're loaded with sodium...once or twice a week shouldn't hurt much. Secondly, most of these "better tier" brands have a spicy kick to them...you can reduce the heat (and sodium) by using less of the seasoning.What separates Nongshim Shin Black from other ramen types and brands is the broth...the bone beef broth is amazing, rich, and tasty. Gives an overall nice beef flavor. The noodles are higher quality than other brands...they have a perfect tenderness to them. The toppings (mushrooms and other veggies) are also a nice touch considering most other instant ramen noodle brands don't have any toppings at all.For those who have to be more careful of their sodium intake, cut down on the amount of seasoning...I've found that half the "red seasoning" packet adds enough kick and flavor to be sufficient for most. You can always add your own seasonings as well. Nongshim, as far as instant Ramen, is among the best in the market. If you enjoy Ramen, give it a try.

Great noodles! I love the spice packet, the whole pack for a hot spicy dish or cut back and use half for a milder dish. It makes a thick filling quick meal. I like to add dehydrater mushrooms with a little more water in it to give it a little more food.

I really like the Beef Bone Broth flavor ramen and will add additional vegetables, meat, or a boiled egg to make it a complete meal. It does have a salty taste, but not as salty as other flavor of ramen I have tried. Although I prefer to go out to get ramen at a local restaurant, this works as a decent substitute and saves me money, especially in this economy!

Very tasty but way too much salt!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's very very delicious. My all time favorite
