Samyang Bulldark Spicy Chicken Roasted Noodles, 4.93 Ounce (Pack of 5) (Ven_FD15-102)

It’s almost too hot for me to finish but I always end up finishing anyway. The sauce is MAD delicious and smells great and the combo of the sauce and noodles are inseparable and amazing! Sure it burns my lips and tongue and inside of my mouth, makes me sweat, have blurry vision, hallucinate and have cramps and chest pain but it’s soooooo worth it, these taste like bliss hope they never remove these off the market if they do I’ll be sooooo upset! Yesterday I had a pack and I ate three big bites so fast and I hallucinated the room getting smaller and smaller and me floating around, these are no joke! 5/5. I like these better than most noodles in the samyang market

I don't usually write reviews but I have to for these noodles. I first found out about these after I watched the YouTube channel TheWolfePit post a video about it. Obviously, they are quite spicy, especially when you use the whole packet of sauce like I do. I have a fairly good spice tolerance. I put hot sauce in my eggs for breakfast, my Bloody Marys, hot dogs, burgers, everything. But it still takes me a while to get through a bowl of these. That said, this isn't one of those gimmicky "spicy challenge" fad foods you see on YouTube or Instagram. Well, maybe it is, given how I discovered it. Still, the flavor of these noodles simply fantastic. There's definitely a solid umami flavor in there with a hint of teriyaki-like sweetness behind the heat. This is simply the best prepackaged ramen I've ever had. If you don't have a spice tolerance at all (I'm talking, you get tea at McDonald's because soda is too spicy-type lack of spice tolerance) just buy this anyway and only add a drop or two of the spicy sauce, it's that good. Both the regular 2x spicy chicken and the cheese flavors are good (those are the ones I've had so far), but I prefer the former as they're spicier and you can always add cheese if you want. Plus, the spiciness enhances the flavor I think. If you're like me and challenging yourself to build up your spice tolerance, this is probably not only the most cost effective way to do so, but the most delicious way. After reading this, scroll back up, buy a pack, and you'll know.

If your idea of spicy is a jalapeno or the DIABLO sauce from Taco Bell, you are NOT ready for this ramen. I'm not being diminutive, I'm speaking in a sense of saving you from feeling like your mouth is melting. Each package has 5 packs of the Ramen and each pack of ramen comes with a sauce packet and seasoning packet. I personally find the flavor of the sauce, amazing. It has heavy chile taste, assuming you can actually taste it, and the seasoning packet brings a welcome blend of sesame and dried seaweed. The noodles are a slight bit thicker than your typical maruchan or top ramen and frying them up as instructed allows them to take to the sauce fantastically. These noodles are not for the faint of heart and I ONLY recommend them for fans of extreme spice. For reference, standard Tabasco sauce has 3,750 Scoville Heat Units(SHU). I regularly eat food around 250,000SHU and found these to have a decent amount of spice (They made my nose run, but did not make me sweat or cry.) So if you're a heat freak such as myself, buy yourself a pack of these, they're great.

Amazing flavor but when the package has 2x on it, that not only means two times the heat, it also means you get to feel it two times. DO NOT eat this at night before work! You have been warned.

Never could my comment be as majestic as Kim's comment. However, with complete agreement, this is by far not as hot as the YouTube weenies make it out to be. Although it may not be the right amount of hell-fire I'm looking, this has forever replaced the position in the cabinet once claimed by the majestic Top Ramen Chicken Flavor. The quality of noodles make Top Ramen seem like they may be fake. These noodles are full of flavor when dry, wet, sauced up, warm, and even cold. Top Notch! The only down side is you only get 5 packs for a whopping $9.00; I'm not sure if that's from shipment or the media hype of the Noodle Challenge. To sum it all up: they could be spicier, they are definitely pricey for the amount you get, and they have absolutely become the best spicy ramen I have had despite the real deal from Japan.

The first couple of times I tried this was for the spicy noodle challenge and wow if you follow directions correctly, it delivers! It took me 2 tries to finish completely. I decided to make a meal out of it tonight because the flavor is amazing as well as the noodles. Much thicker than your average top Ramen. I left some water in it and added chicken bullion and some poached eggs. Its delightful. The only thing I can complain about is the price. I recently found out they sell for much less at your local Asian market but unfortunately not everyone has that convenience.

I don't usually write reviews but I just had to for these noodles. These noodles are EXTREMELY spicy! I got my whole family to taste it and it was just way too spicy. You can just smell the heat in this. It did nothing for me for a few seconds but then I got a very intense burning sensation in my mouth. It took me a whole hour and 3 and a half tall bottles of water just to finish ONE bowl; I had to keep taking breaks. I was breaking out in a small sweat and actually felt kinda dizzy while eating this, but still managed to eat it all. Seriously I don't even know what I can compare the spice of these noodles to; it's just that spicy. I have some packs left but I'm going to toss out the sauce packets and use the noodles in a stir fry or something (the noodles themselves have a nice thick texture, thicker than the ramen noodles you'll get at the grocery store). If you can (somehow) get past the spice, it's actually quite tasty. but I can't really handle it. I still give these noodles 5-stars though for the fun experience.

I love spicy food. I love, love, love spicy food. I amaze and annoy my family members and everyone around me in equal measure with my preoccupation for such delightful masochistic self-infliction. Not just in savoury foods, but also sweet. I frequently add four kinds of pepper to everything I make, and add neutral spices to my maple syrup just for an extra kick. i like it hot, yo. Something I find is a lot of food that is focused on being hot finds flavour being waylaid. So there is heat, but there is nothing enticing or more complex to accompany it. It's disappointing and makes for a flat, incomplete experience. And absolutely not an issue here! At the end of day, this is a pack of instant noodles, we all know these aren't the best for you and will probably shave years off your life with every wonderfully manufactured bite, so have them in moderation, but there is excellent flavour here. I love the bounce and feel of the noodles, too, nice and fun to chew. It made for a nice complement. But these are sooooo goooood. As for spice, they are decently spicy! I saw these during the spicy noodle challenge and looking at all the reactions I knew it was something I wanted to do. Trying to convey spice, though, is difficult. Impossible. Everyone's levels of tolerance are different, so to the person saying that people who said those who didn't find them as spicy had to have been drinking bevs, I say not everyone will have the same experience. If you find sriracha very spicy, these will annihilate you, leaving a black, ashen smear where your body once stood moments before it exploded in a fiery blaze. So, y'know, just be aware of that and inform your loved ones of your possible express trip to the depths of hell if need be. For me, these were spicy enough that I would get them again, and yes the spice did linger with me, I breathed a lot, and I felt my sinuses clear, but at no point did I ever struggle to eat them. In fact, I could not get them in fast enough they were so goood. After I had one pack, I immediately had another and counted the hours until I deemed it acceptable to have a third. I would recommend the following for first-timers: Drain ALL the water instead of leaving some as per the instructions. This will concentrate the sauce and not dilute the heat. And be advised if you decide to add additional items like meat or vegetables, because that is more area your sauce needs to cover so that too so it may spread it a bit thin. Adding more stuff isn't a bad idea, It's delicious and i had it with bok choy and shrimp, but I think I will save that for other noodles because this is all about the spice for me. All in all, highly recommend!

Hot and tasty.

Muy buen producto. Superó mis expectativas.

Just wanted to try these. Sure the spice level is unbearable! My lips swollen. My eyes watery. My mouth burning. BUT I LOVED IT!

Ottima esperienza gastronomica asiatica contemporanea, pur essendo un liofilizzato non ha nulla a che vedere con ramen e noodle da supermercato. NB la salsa ha un altissimo livello di piccantezza, chi non ama un piccante troppo forte la sostituisca assolutamente con salsa yakisoba o agrodolce affine.
