More ads than noodles.

Whoever you guys got to open the packages seem to be a bit aggressive. 😂

@ilyanaismail5391

7:39 maruchan noodles “pretty surprisingly not bad”. I agree. Back years ago when I at a lot of ramen because it was inexpensive—I always preferred maruchan to nissin. I feel vindicated! 😂😂😂

@stephanien6237
@

I demand a redo with the addition of the Mama Tom Yum flavor

@TramTran7
@

Mama pork flavor is the one I grew up eating. I was shocked to hear they didn’t like it! I guess I have no idea what quality ramen is supposed to taste like!!!!! Lol😂😂😂😂

@pkhame
@

Surprised they did not try Nissin Black Garlic

@austinraider4123

The female chef has the best insights

@TheUranus19

MSG .. Makes addictive 😊 awesome!

@HerneProtectUs

I love hearing experts speak. These three know their craft. The way they dissect the flavours and texture, then able to often identify the brand. Loved this.

@SachinGanpat
@

awesome no ((())) on this one

@bebopacoco
@

How could they not include Nissin Raoh tonkotsu ramen?! Best broth and not crazy expensive like the Ichiran--I'd rather go to a noodle house than pay that much!

@Carter-f4n5k
@

why is nissin so bland in the US lmfao

@dreyyxy
@

so no mamee chef and mee sedaap ??

@ar4ror0
@

How about Garlic shrimp curry with kale? 15 small shrimp, half teaspoon minced garlic, half chopped kale leaflet, two shrimp soups or 1 shrimp and 1 shin ramyun, half packet each and a quarter teaspoon of curry spice powder.

The most expensive "healthy" American brands are the worst. That tracks lol

I like the older chef. He’s charming, and kind. He really has a lot of knowledge about noodles. I bet he makes an amazing ramen dish!

@nikilbak

Calling out the sodium content on only 1 brand is crazy 😂

@jamessims9475

Was hoping they have my favorite noodle growing up, Mama shrimp… taste like tum yum soup 😅

@Texas_Denim88

@tsedensodnommyagmarsuren389

Way too much salt in all of them .Not healthy.!

@Venusta-l8r
@

Need to try Ichiran one, but it has 2,530 mg of sodium. GAHDDAMNNNN. D:

@lundinfisk
@

Buldak noodles all are very spicy, the level of hot spice dominates the flavor. To me, it is tasteless and overrated, I can only taste the chilli pepper.

@Marzyart
@

The fact that they know the brand says they eat these all the time.

@larrylitmanen9877
@

I love the Buldok but wish they made a less spicy version with the same taste. Love it but pay a high price for indulging. 🥵🥴

I remember the maruchan and top Raman being 10 for a dollar and sometimes go on sale 12 for a dollar.
