Samyang LeebaikYang Ramen


Country of Origin: Korea
Bought at Choi's Oriental Foods in Huntsville, AL


I was in Huntsville a couple weeks ago for my very sweet aunt Charlsie's funeral (RIP) and had some time before the funeral so I found some noodle joints on the internet and headed to the nearest one. Choi's is a nice store, not huge but has a lot of stuff crammed in there. I picked up a sacka noodles while I was there and this is one of the ones that I got. I had never seen this one before, I think it may be new. It's made by Samyang so I'm expecting it to be good.


Everything on the package other than what you could see in the first pic is in Korean, including everything on the packs. The green one is a veggie pack and the read one is seasoning that kinda looks and smells like paprika and pepper. The noodles are kinda thick, not as much as the Neoguri that I reviewed recently but a little thicker than standard noodles. Me likey.


So here ya go. Looks pretty standard. When you let this one sit for a few minutes the noodles soak up a lot of the soup and it makes it taste about 20 times better! It kinda tastes beefy, but doesn't taste like the regular Samyang ramen... as in not as good. It is ok though, nothing special, but not great. It does have more vegetables than most ramens do, though it's mostly green onions and carrots. I'd get the regular old Samyang beef ramen over this stuff any day. I'm giving this one a 6/10.
