Just the right amount of spicyness. There is a generous helping of green onion, which also gives the broth a deep taste. The fish cake provides a little seafood flavor, and the egg cake is provides a sweet texture. This is Nong Shim at it's best. Overall: 5 |

| Season Packet: salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, paprika oil, red pepper, black pepper, ginger, garlic, cuttlefish, shrimp Vegetables: fish cake, seatangle, chives, shrimp Spicyness: 3 Comment: What a big bowl of ramen. There is a big, flat piece of fish cake I believe, in the ramen. Also some little rectangle shaped sheets, which are pink, seatangle maybe? And some real shrimp. Also, a lot of seaweed(not listed in the ingredient list). The broth is not overly spicey and not a strong seafood taste. Just enough to let you know it's there. Very good ramen Overall: 5 |

Even though it should have been. Vegetables: carrot, mushroom, green onion, red pepper flake Spicyness: 4 Comment: Killer. That's the only way to describe shin ramen. The broth is very spicey and with the most pleasant beef overtone. I could drink the broth all day. The mushrooms are huge. And add a nice texture. Overall: 5 |

 |
| Season Packet: salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, black pepper, red pepper, soy sauce, onion laver Vegetables: fish cake, fried fish cake, welsh onion, carrot, sea tangle Spicyness: 2 Comment: This ramen came with a ton of vegetables. The fried fish cake is the size of a nickel. The broth has a nice onion flavor. Not much spicyness other than a black pepper flavor. With the udon noodles, this is a hearty ramen. Overall: 5 |

| NONGSHIM KALBI |
| Season Packet: beef seasoning powder(beef extract, soy sauce, dextrin, salt), salt, msg, sugar, spices(garlic, black pepper, onion, ginger), palm oil powder(palm oil, dextrin), soy sauce powder, capsicum powder, paprika powder, grilled flavour Flake: carrot, textured soy protein, green onion, cabbage Spicyness: 2 Comment: This is a differnet packaging for Nongshim. A square bowl. Kalbi is a Korean BBQ short rib dish. This is an attempt at that, but Nongshim doesn't fully succeed. The broth has a slight beef flavor and a nice combination of spices. Although it says a "spicy" ramen, its not that spicy. There are bits of soy protein to simulate the short rib. I would have like a more BBQ flavor for this ramen. Overall: 3 |

| NONG SHIM MARISCOS(SEAFOOD FLAVOR) |
| Season Packet: salt, mixed seafood powder, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce powder(soy sauce, yeast, salt), spices(red pepper, garlic, black pepper), seafood seasoning powder(squid extract, salt), vegetable oil powder(rice bran oil, palm oil, sesame oil, dextrin), paprika powder, sugar, beef bone extract Flake: onion, carrot, green onion, mushroom Spicyness: 3 Comment:I had to do a little research on exactly what "mariscos" is. It seems to be mexican for seafood. Is Nong Shim trying to crack the mexican ramen market? The broth's arroma was definetly seafood smelling. The flavor had a light seafood flavor with a beefy undertone. The spicyness isn't to overpowering and the veggies are the standard Nong Shim kind. Overall: 4 |

The broth is thick and a deep dark brown. The broth doesn't have any spicyness. Theres a beefy taste with a hint of sesame. A lot of textured vegetable protein give a lot of texture. This is a heavy meal. Oddly, ramen is salty, this one could have used more salt. Overall: 4 |

| NONG SHIM HEALTHY GENERATION KIMCHI FLAVOR |
 |
| Bowl Size: 3.06oz/87g Soup Base: kimchi seasoning(mixed spice base, beef soup stock, roasted kimchi paste), salt, potato starch, seasoning oil(rice bran oil, rapeseed oil, soy lecithin, glycerin esters of fatty acid, d-sorbitol, d-tocopherol) and less than 2% of the following: anchovy seasoning(anchovy, mixed vegetable powder), beef seasoning(beef extract, yeast extract, glycine, methionine), calcium, citric acid, cochineal color, disodium5' guanylate, disodium5' inosinate, DL-maltic acid, fructooligosaccharide, garlic, glycine, gum arabic, hydrolyzed soy protein, maltodextrin, marigold extract color, potassium carbonate, roasted red pepper powder, sodium carbonate, sodium metaphosphate, sodium phosphate, spices, sugar, vegetable seasonings(onion, radish) Kimchi Block: kimchi, green onion, maltodextrin, tapicoa starch, gelatin) Spicyness: 4 Comment: This is Nong Shim new healthy version of their famous ramen. The noodles are not fried and there is no MSG added, but oddly enough the ingredient list is huge. Sodium content is still high 80% of your DA if you eat the whole bowl. The kimchi block made a nice size amount of chunks of kimchi. The broth was spicy, sour and salty and tasted just like kimchi. I prefer the fried noodles versus the non fried but they were still chewy and held up well in the broth. Overall Nong Shim has pulled off another winner in ramen. Overall: 5 |
