Nissin Cup Noodle Ramen Bistro, Sichuan Garlic Chicken, 3.1 Ounce (Pack of

Love this stuff, but beware it's a whole lot of spicy!

These taste pretty good. There's kind of a generic spice tart i can't quite place but it's a little heavy. Other than that these are great in a hurry.

Good flavor! Bit spicy. Great quick meal. Would recommend

I love ramen and was excited to try this one because I tend to like stronger Asian-inspired flavors, especially chili and garlic. Unfortunately, this particular one just wasn't for me. The flavor itself isn't bad. The garlic comes through nicely and there's a mild kick, but I wouldn't consider it particularly hot or spicy. If you're expecting a lot of heat from the Sichuan description, this is definitely on the milder side. Where I really struggled was the noodles. They had an oddly rubbery texture and a taste I didn't personally enjoy. I even tried letting them sit longer than directed to see if they would soften, but it didn't seem to make much difference. That texture stayed pretty consistent. I can absolutely see someone else enjoying the flavor profile, so I don't think these are necessarily "bad" ramen. They just weren't to my taste. I'd happily eat one if it were what I had available, but given the choice, I'd reach for regular Cup Noodles or Nissin's Protein Chicken version instead. I wouldn't personally repurchase this flavor.

Full of flavor and pretty damn tasty. Be careful tho, they have a little heat. Not too much heat, but it'll come out a little spicy later so have some soft toilet paper on hand. I shouldn't, but I'll be buying again.
