Mike's Mighty Good Ramen Chicken Soup - Chicken Noodle Soup - Instant Ramen Noodles Cups - Organic Non-GMO Instant Noodles - 1.6 Ounces - 6 Pack

Hands down the best at home ramen I’ve ever had. Not sure if it is the liquid packet ir the seasoning packet that makes it so good, but whichever it is, it works Everyone in the house loved it too. Highly recommend!

Great taste and healthier than most store-bought options.

I really liked this ramen. Is it bland, yes sure maybe. But it tastes good, it's a good base. It could use some pepper and other seasonings, but the broth is a little creamy. I'm pregnant and everything I eat gives me indigestion - this didn't. The noodles were fresh tasting and had a good bite. Not spicy at all which is fine for me at this point. The beef flavor has more spice. If you want something good that will fill you up and taste just fine, this is good. If you're looking for something that tastes like normal top ramen, you're not going to get that here. The broth tastes homemade, like chicken noodle soup, not like top ramen chicken flavor. The sodium is lower, there are few ingredients and nothing weird/chemically. Its good.

Great quality of Ramen and easy preparation instructions. I wish the portions of noodle were a bit larger but other than that no complaints.

I don't normally write reviews, but I've eaten a lot of ramen and soup noodles in my lifetime (Maruchan, Nissin, Shin, Indomie, WeiLi, probably more than the average person by far), so I feel pretty qualified to write this. Needless to say, $16 for a six pack is a lot of money, so I felt compelled to write this review. I felt a ramen that claims to be "craft ramen" deserves an in-depth review. Tldr; There are better ramen brands out there for cheaper. The broth is pretty good, but the noodles are worse in many ways compared to what you'd get even in 25 cent instant ramen packs. The portions are also very small and, given the price, the ramen doesn't come with a whole lot of extra ingredients. If you're like me and wanted to splurge on some ramen to make up for not eating out during quarantine, here are my thoughts: First off, let's talk about the broth. You get a packet of powder and one of what I'm pretty sure is sesame oil. To their credit, their broth is pretty above average for instant ramen. You can actually taste the chicken flavor and the broth is somewhat fatty (I wouldn't call it "insanely rich," but at least it doesn't taste like chicken water). There's also finely diced garlic that rehydrates in the soup. All in all, it tastes similar to soup from a bowl of noodles from a mediocre Chinese restaurant (which is pretty good for instant ramen). I think the saltiness is just right--it's probably a little less salty than your average ramen but not enough for me to want to add salt. Now onto everything else--like the review headline says, the broth is really the only good thing about this ramen. The noodles are sub-par, to say the least--I take it that they tried to approximate actual ramen you'd get in a restaurant, but don't end up succeeding (to the point that I actually prefer Maruchan noodles that don't even try to accurately imitate restaurant ramen more). Better a well-done pencil sketch than a butchered imitation of a Van Gogh painting, in my opinion. The noodles lack a certain elasticity or bounciness that restaurant ramen and even Maruchan instant ramen have. I followed the instructions to a tee and used boiling water, too, so I don't think it's a problem with cooking. Somehow, the noodles always end up tasting either too soft or somewhat hard. Noodles normally have a middle ground between this where they end up in that bouncy/springy area, but these don't (and I've tweaked the times I've spent cooking these noodles, too). For a pretty easily accessible instant ramen with a good noodle, I'd recommend Shin ramen or Neoguri (I think Korean instant ramen usually does well with springy ramen, even if the noodles are a little thick for my taste). The noodles are the big let-down of the ramen (in fact, you'd probably be better of buying good soup boullion cubes and using Shin ramen noodles to get a ramen better in every respect for cheaper). However, especially for the price, the portions are very small. Granted, a cup's only around 300 calories, so I guess that hints at the portion size. If you were to eat this for a meal, I think I'd need two to feel full. This makes each ramen meal close to $5, which is pretty steep even for "gourmet" ramen. For a little under that price, you can buy ramen that actually comes with packets containing real (not dehydrated) meat or shrimp (and a large amount of noodles and good broth, too). This brings me to my last point--this ramen is pretty much just soup and broth. For this price range, you can pick up plenty of "gourmet" ramen from most Asian markets that don't require you digging in your pantry for you to have a meal that's not just soup and noodles. I'd expect them to include, at the very least, some embellishments on the ramen (like actual chicken, even if dehydrated). In short, please just go onto an Asian market's website and search for gourmet instant ramen there. I get the feeling that this product was made with people who don't shop at Asian markets in mind since it hardly compares to a lot of the stuff they offer. For less money, you could easily find instant ramen with good broth, noodles, and actual embellishments (like meat, shrimp, mixed vegetables, etc.).
