More ads than noodles.
@davidself77Whoever you guys got to open the packages seem to be a bit aggressive. 😂
@ilyanaismail53917:39 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! 😂😂😂
@stephanien6237I demand a redo with the addition of the Mama Tom Yum flavor
@TramTran7Mama 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😂😂😂😂
@pkhameSurprised they did not try Nissin Black Garlic
@austinraider4123The female chef has the best insights
@TheUranus19MSG .. Makes addictive 😊 awesome!
@HerneProtectUsI 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.
@SachinGanpatawesome no ((())) on this one
@bebopacocoHow 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-f4n5kwhy is nissin so bland in the US lmfao
@dreyyxyso no mamee chef and mee sedaap ??
@ar4ror0How 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.
@NathanVaughn-e3x13:52 LMAOOOO
@vvindicatorThe most expensive "healthy" American brands are the worst. That tracks lol
@xXMilk__DrinkerXxI 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!
@kaylamcderment1517They Didn't, Mention, Buldak, lol 👀🤨🤷♂️ But They EnJoyed, It 😆🤦♂️
@ThePolishJoker“Oh it is vegan….it tastes vegan”
the SHADE 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We a shin ramyun black family here!
@hokierayI love how on point they are, and also, how merciless they are 😅

3:20 what do you mean by 1 dimensional?
@torresngchengjunnng401Dang, I was rooting for Mama ramen, it's my fav QwQ oof
@nikilbakCalling out the sodium content on only 1 brand is crazy 😂
@jamessims9475Was hoping they have my favorite noodle growing up, Mama shrimp… taste like tum yum soup 😅
@Texas_Denim88you find me a bag for .69 in this economy come on!?
@o7JackLion"It tastes vegan" 😂😂😂
@joeythethriftyi swear the chef with glasses was on another channel which did a similar idea
@billross91322 guy better start youtube channel specially older guy talks very funny nice idk why but
@tsedensodnommyagmarsuren389Way too much salt in all of them .Not healthy.!
@Venusta-l8rNeed to try Ichiran one, but it has 2,530 mg of sodium. GAHDDAMNNNN. D:
@lundinfiskBuldak 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.
@MarzyartThe fact that they know the brand says they eat these all the time.
@larrylitmanen9877I love the Buldok but wish they made a less spicy version with the same taste. Love it but pay a high price for indulging. 🥵🥴
@cyndod6527These 3 are Jedi Ramen Masters
@vishalseusankar9793Kang Shi Fu is the GOAT instant noodle
@xchanxzenxI remember the maruchan and top Raman being 10 for a dollar and sometimes go on sale 12 for a dollar.
