immi earns polarized reviews: many praise the plant‑based ramen for satisfying, high‑protein, low‑carb comfort with flavorful broths like Black Garlic “Chicken,” Spicy “Beef,” and Tom Yum, while a substantial number say it isn’t good because the noodles taste rubbery or grainy and the soups can be bland or overly salty. Reviews indicate it works well as a healthy base with add‑ins and easy prep, but texture inconsistencies, small portions, and flavor balance hold it back.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Best veggie ramen I’ve had, the broth is phenomenal and ramen is not too grainy.

I enjoyed the higher protein content of this product and somewhat healthy version of Ramen. However, the noodles were kind of chalky, and were definitely not as good as traditional Ramen noodles.

I bought and tried three different flavors of this immi noodle: black garlic chicken, spicy beef, and tom yum. The texture of the noodle is very different from any other instant noodle that I have tried. It also tastes a bit weird. I don't know how to describe, but the taste is weird. The price is also so expensive for instant noodle, even with the buy 2 get 1 is also on the pricey side.

These are a bit funky - but the macros are excellent. Their smell is pretty strong, whether you microwave or use the stove - but the taste is decent. But hey, for 21g protein and 15g fiber, it's a pretty great ramen substitute.
pros: - high protein - yummy soup bases (using less water than recommended) cons: - pricy - noodles taste like rubber - small portion The appeal of ramen for me is quick satiation but I felt like I barely ate anything after eating this. I’d rather eat a lower protein ramen with better taste that will leave me satisfied and add protein via toppings. fav flavors: tom yum, black garlic chicken meh flavors: spicy beef
These are guilt-free and I love to add some soft-boiled eggs, mini corn and other vegetables I may have on hand - you can't go wrong. Immi flavors are delicious! The spice packets kick typical ramen out of the park. The noodle texture is definitely a little different as is the flavor, but not undesirable, just different than standard ramen. I love that these have high protein and low-carb with all the good fiber.
weird texture but i love the flavor and how it's low carb and high protein!
Doesn't completely replace the taste of the ramen we all grew up loving, but a great substitute for something a little healthier! I've tried each flavor and they're all pretty good!

I think these just straight out the bag aren't my personal favorite. I think if you made this and added some fresh vegetables and sauces it would take it to another level flavor wise. I saw another review saying that you should cook the noodles longer than specified and completely agree, otherwise they're way too hard
disclaimer - I tried these I'm 2020 so it's possible the formula was improved upon since. I tried the garlic and beef flavors both-noodles were weird textured (like cardboard filling), did not cook properly and both broths were fairly one dimensional and yielded a thin, salty and unsatisfying meal.

Needs to be quite doctored up to be satisfying - if you're in the mood for packaged ramen just eat the crappy stuff to scratch the itch. These are better used as a base for a saucier noodle or a lot of accouterments which I don't always have on hand when I'm just looking to open a package of ramen for some hot soup. I appreciate what they're going for and I'm all for a healthier alternative but I don't think this quite serves the same purpose.

I haven't tried since they reformulated so maybe they're better on their own now! That's just not really my packaged ramen speed, need lower effort-to-satisfaction ratio.
I had high expectations but was not a fan unfortunately. It tasted like whey protein powder noodles. I'm not a big protein powder fan and I had to force myself to finish it so it wouldn't go to waste.

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.

Ok ok product. We didn't like it much but just a new try. We felt ok but my kids find it bad which is not yet all expected.

The noodles were definitely tough but I actually enjoyed how chewy they were, but I wasn't a huge fan of the flavors. I was happy to finish both packs I bought, but probably won't buy them again unless on sale (I'd rather just make my own noodles from scratch, or if I want a healthier instant version just add eggs and veggies to a standard pack).

East to make, delicious, but has a kick so be prepared for a little spice. Would buy again as a healthier version of Ramen

A healthy instant ramen
As a ramen lover, I think this instant ramen is OK - it does has the chewiness I like . Well, it is low-carb with high-protein, so a quite healthy instant ramen. I recommend the Tom Yum Shrimp flavor, quite spicy but very flavorful indeed.
Ramen is my favorite food and unfortunately this one misses the mark, its extremely high cost paired with its poor taste leaves me sad.

Really yummy! Love the protein boost. Easy to prepare, good flavor payoff. Love the convenience of these, tho they are a definite expense I don't purchase regularly.
