This Nongshim tonkotsu ramen is a convenient instant bowl that delivers a mild, nonspicy broth and a decent quick meal. The noodles and seasoning packets are the whole package, and the sodium sits in the flavor packets rather than the noodles. It also gets credit for being better than expected for some, especially as an easy high-end style instant ramen. The main knocks are the small contents, lack of dried toppings, and a taste that lands as merely okay or even disappointing for tonkotsu fans. The product photos and Prime-only pricing also feel misleading.
People wanting non-spicy instant ramen, because it is described as high quality and not spicy.
No. The package is just noodles plus seasoning/sauce packets, and it does not include egg or pork pieces. The product photos can be misleading because they show a dressed-up serving rather than the actual contents.
It is generally described as decent but not amazing: some find it good after doctoring it up, while others call it mid or overpriced. It is also noted for a small amount of contents in an oversized bowl and no dried toppings.
It is not spicy, making it a better fit if you want high-quality instant ramen without heat. The flavor is described as more of a tonkotsu-style bowl than a spicy ramen.
Yes, the shown $9.85 price appears to be Prime-member only, and the listing should be labeled that way to avoid confusion. The deal price may not apply to non-Prime shoppers.
I think it actually is a little more deceiving than normal somehow, because they picture it still in the original container. Usually 'serving suggestions' have the curteousy to put it out in a fancy bowl or something.
I think it actually is a little more deceiving than normal somehow, because they picture her getting in the original vehicle. Usually 'pessenger suggestions' have the curteousy to put an overweight wifey in a lawn chair or something.

FYI, the content of this is very small. It just comes in an oversized container. It doesn't even come with dried toppings that most higher-end instant noodles come with. It's an over-priced gimmick. Taste is just OK. It was good enough to try, but I never bought it again.

The Black is always expensive, but he's right, its better (and possibly the best instant soupy-ramen).
This Tonkotsu Ramen is good. Not great, nothing amazing. Just good. This is a frequent seller at Costco, and is also constantly on sale there if you have a membership. The 10 people here who say its disgusting are delusional.

dehydrated green onions is enough for me. Have you ever been to an actual Ramen restaurant? The base tonkotsu or shoyu ramen actually comes plain. Not that this is authentic, but its not trying to be something it isn't.
and serving size wise? This is the same amount of noodles as almost every other generic ramen in grams. The bowl size is to be able to cook everything in it, so they increased volume for safety.

Dehydrated green onions inside is very little. They don't even bother packaging it and just sprinkle little stuff. Contrary to what you are trying to insinuate here, the issue is the other way around. I know ramen far more than you do. I lived in Japan for over a decade and ate the best ramen there is. A good instant ramen contains better dried toppings. Some even contain dried chaashu, which is the signature item for tonkotsu ramen. This ramen is laughable considering that it's marketing itself to be a high-end ramen, which it isn't. Ingredients are also not right. It even contains corn syrup and gum. The added sauce packet is also disgusting. The reason you think this is good is because you don't know enough about ramen. I wish I knew less so I could enjoy low quality overpriced ramen like this.

The ramen can taste good when it is doctored with extra ingredients.
The flavor packets can carry most of the sodium rather than the noodles themselves.
The product can work well for people who want instant ramen that is not spicy.
The ramen may be better than expected as a non-spicy instant soupy-ramen option.
The ramen may not taste like authentic tonkotsu and can come across as just bad.
The package contents can feel small because it ships in an oversized container without dried toppings.
The included toppings can be minimal, with very little dehydrated green onion and low-quality sauce.
The sodium level can be high at 1510mg, which may be a dealbreaker for some shoppers.
