Haven’t had a fresh noodle bowl in a while and thought this would be a good day to try one out. This is one my sister brought me back from a trip to Canada earlier this year – thank you! Kimchi flavor! Let’s give it a try.
Here’s the distributor sticker.

The fresh noodle package.
Liquid base.
A dark, thin liquid.
Vegetable flake.
Nice looking mixture.
A seasoning cake!
I love these things – they suck up the liquid and become an awesome addition! This one’s freeze dried kimchi.
Finished. Added a little more kimchi and some of these seasoned spicy fresh cucumbers from H Mart. The noodles are what you’d expect from a fresh noodle bowl – chewy and wide. The broth was very nice – has a good balance of heat and flavor. The re-hydrated kimchi was everywhere and very nice as was the vegetable flake. Premium stuff! 4.5 out of 5.0 stars – this was classy and quite good. UPC bar code 883298618917 .
A Dongwon TV commercial – wish I could find one for this product!
Some more of these Paldo noodles. Let’s see how they taste and especially what I’m curious about – if these are thicker noodles.
Nice looking packets – nice to see lots of veggies and things going on.
Red powder and nice looking veggies!
Two fried eggs and here we go. So not exactly as I imagined – which isn’t a complaint. The noodles are a little bigger than your average and much chewier. I like them. The broth is hot and spicy and tastes good, and the veggies are awesome. Altogether quite good! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars! Get it here.
Wow okay so for the 150th review here on ramenrater.com I thought I’d go for something really different. This is a big ass bowl noodle with fresh noodles! Should be interesting!
8.67 ounces. Jeez that’s a lot more than is realistically needed.
Three packets: noodles (it would’ve been horrible if they hadn’t labeled it because I would have never figured that out), soup base (the dark packet) and the veggies in the silver packet. It felt like a little brick was inside there…
When I opened the soup base I almost got whiplash – the fish odor was intense. The directions said to put it and the noodles in the bowl and fill up to the line with hot water and then microwave for 3 minutes. I did so and stirred and was greeted by these enormous noodles swimming in a deep red broth. The next step was to add the vegetables. So that little silver packet did have a strange little cubelike thing in it! I dropped it in the soup and watched it dissolve and then gave it all a final stir…
Here’s what you get. Wow – was not at all what I expected. It’s actually pretty good. The noodles are huge – nothing in the western diet really compares to Udon noodles. If you leave some spaghetti noodles in a bath of water overnight they still won’t swell up to the thickness of Udon and won’t be a chewy and nice. These were “fresh” as they call them, so they’re a mark above a noodle block you’d find in other instant packs or bowls. The broth is thick and rich; it is truly hot and spicy. It also has a definite seafood flavor – not sure what kind of seafood, but it’s in the ‘of the sea’ category for sure. Finally, the vegetables were a big surprise. I’ve never seen veggies supplied in this way – they’re always loose except for one instance. This little cake or sponge of veggies was a lot of fun and worked great and re-hydrated with a couple stirs. Overall, this has been quite the adventure for the palate as well as a lot of fun to make. I’m giving this bowl a 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. Very unique and flavorful.
