Black Garlic "Chicken" Ramen

2.5 • 6 Reviews

I know there are nutritional advantages, but I just realized from this product that I don't eat instant ramen for the health benefits. I've never thought, I'd like my instant ramen to be healthier and taste worse. So this is not a product for me. I add vegetables to contribute to nutrition, but I want the noodles themselves to feel like actual ramen. These ones are weird in both texture and flavor, and if I use the full packet of chili oil it's too spicy for me but if I don't use it at all it's too bland. I do appreciate that it's meat-free.

Clearly in the minority here but I really like immi and reach for it often when I want something quick and protein-forward that also scratches the "comfort carb" itch. The texture of the noodles doesn't bother me as I always prefer my ramen noodles on the chewier side and I find the flavors - while not necessarily true to what they are named after - still satisfying and robust. For someone who doesn't usually seek plant-based foods.

The taste isn't all that great. For what it is (ramen soup) it's much more expensive than the alternatives and it doesn't feel significantly healthier an option. It's still a processed snack. If it was the same price as regular ramen I'd buy it, but I doubt that will ever happen.

pretty good taste! and i loved that it was healthy, plant based, and high protein. So the texture for the noodles was a bit strange but nothing you can't get used to. I really enjoyed the black garlic "chicken" flavor because I'm vegetarian and it's so hard to find ramen without meat broths.

I was really excited to try this ramen. The flavors were unique and for the price point I was expecting a high quality product. It was flavorless. I’d prefer a 30 cent package than this $5 one any day.

I wanted to like these so badly! I tried the shrimp flavor originally and it was a hard pass, nevertheless I pushed on and tried the black garlic thinking maybe I just chose the wrong flavor. Except there was no flavor, like at all. The texture of the noodles is way off but that I could’ve dealt with, having to dr up the flavor with all sorts of add-ins to have any sort of flavor really felt like it of defeated the purpose of instant ramen at home. Unfortunately this was a no go for me.
