CHEF WOO Thai Lemongrass Ramen Cup High Protein Noodles (12 PACK), 20g of Animal-free, Bioavailable Protein | Made in U.S. |

I can't eat regular ramen noodles anymore and I missed the texture, the experience of the noodles. They just have an irrational but solid place in my mind due to childhood comfort food status. I have tried konjac noodles and physically regretted it for hours and hours. Never again. But I kept shopping. These Chef Woo noodles had promising reviews and a promising ratio, but what sold me was actually some of the dissatisfied reviews. There are people who dislike the Chef Woo noodles because they're too firm. I can't tolerate mushy noodles; they send me involuntarily running for the trash can. When I would eat regular ramen noodles in the past I would slightly undercook them on purpose. Basically I like to chew my noodles. If they break down without much help from my teeth, they are inedible for me. If that also describes you, BUY THESE. Start with the recommended cook time and then experiment with slightly different cooking times with your microwave to find the Goldilocks texture for you depending on how powerful your microwave is. They do need to sit for a few minutes after the cook time also. Even when I have forgotten them for a little too long after cooking, so far I have not ever found them mushy. The chicken and beef flavors are both great and I alternate between them with my orders. I like to add dried chives before cooking. I did try the Thai lemongrass and it was good flavor but painfully spicy for me. For context, I can't eat regular buffalo wings, they're way too spicy. If that also describes you, the Thai lemongrass spice level is not for you. Overall I will buy the chicken and beef flavors for as long as they manufacture these without changing the formulation. I dearly miss the mushroom flavor of regular ramen noodles and couldn't find that in recent years anyway, so I would love it if Chef Woo made an umami flavor like that also.

Chef Woo’s Spicy Tequila Lime Ramen Cup is a great go-to for a quick and satisfying meal. It’s super easy to make, which is perfect for a quick lunch, and I love that it packs a good amount of protein. The flavor is bold and delicious, with just the right amount of spice, but enough to give it a nice kick. The lime adds a refreshing balance, making it way more interesting than your average ramen. A solid choice if you want something tasty, convenient, and a little different! Also the cheapest of the options which makes it a good deal.

Love this high protein vegan ramen! I usually let it sit/cook a little longer for extra soft noodles.

If you have sophisticated taste in Asian food, you might not care for this; it's essentially dry ramen and dehydrated spices with some extra protein. But for a single person who wants a quick hot savory meal with a decent amount of protein, it's fine. And I give them credit for using organic ingredients. It's good before hitting the gym, seems to digest pretty fast without that sensation of being weighed down. Almost like a protein drink but with extra texture and spices. The capsicum is not insignificant. I almost always sneeze or cough at least once when some of it gets into my windpipe or sinus cavities. But that makes it more interesting. It's a little too expensive to buy often. I can make a protein drink for about $1 and this is more than twice that much. When it was at Aldi's for $1.50 a serving, I bought as much as I could. At $2.30 to $2.50 online, I'll only buy it occasionally.

So, I am a non-recovering addict of Cup Noodles brand ramen (Chicken flavor to be exact). I am on a journey to lose the back that I have gained over the years. This was a great find, because it increased my protein intake without adding too much to the carbs category. So I can appreciate the product. I bought the Thai Lemongrass flavor. My honest critique: The broth is tasty, has a very mild but welcome kick to it, the veggies are also tasty. I was not prepared for the ramen texture however. While I can overlook some of the differences, for me ramen enjoyment is hugely tied to noodle texture. The noodles have a nice appearance but felt grainy to me. All this to say is that if you are comparing protein ramen specifically I think this is a good one. If you are looking to replace a Cup Noodles habit, it may take some time. But seriously not totally bad.

Chef Woo’s Ramen soup is a delicious and nutritious option for anyone who loves instant noodles. It is made with organic, plant-based ingredients that provide 20 grams of protein per serving, as well as iron and essential amino acids. The noodles are soft and satisfying, and the broth is rich and flavorful, without any MSG or chemicals. Chef Woo’s Ramen soup comes in four different varieties: roasted chicken, braised beef, Thai lemongrass, Spicy Tequila Lime and sweet chili togarashi. Each one has its own unique taste and spice level, so you can choose your favorite or try them all. I personally enjoyed The Spicy Tequila Lime. Chef Woo’s Ramen soup is easy to prepare, just add hot water and wait for a few minutes. You can also customize it by adding your own toppings, such as eggs, vegetables, tofu, or meat. I love to add a little lemon to mine. It is perfect for a quick lunch, a snack, or a light dinner. If you are looking for a healthy and tasty ramen option, I highly recommend Chef Woo’s Ramen soup. It is a great way to enjoy noodles without guilt.

Normally they are good and the high protein content is important.Lately their quality has taken a very sharp downhill turn. In my last pack of 12 Beef ramen, 2 had no flavoring in them and 1 wasn’t sealed properly. The order prior to that I had one with none of the dried vegetables and 1 that wasn’t sealed properly.Picture included , supposed to be beef flavored but there’s no beef flavoring, no salt and the water should be a dark brown. Very bland.They’ve clearly stopped paying attention to quality control. I suggest finding a different brand.

They taste really good but the texture is horrendous. If you have any texture issues I don't recommend you buy them.
