Ichiran and Ippudo Ramen are some of my favorite Japanese Ramen Chains. This time I'm going to compare the 2 Instant noodle version of these Ramen restaurants along with a mix of other instant noodles I found at the local Japanese grocery store.

The way Mikey describes food literally makes anything sound good lol like this is legit just 2 minute noodles
Yeah but sometimes instant noodles can taste better than actual restaurant noodles... If you watch the videos you know he expresses when something tastes bad
you obviously haven't tried other japanese instant noodles, some literally taste like it came out fresh from a ramen restaurant
asian instant noodles are on a different level and people do not see them as a povo meal
Have you tried good instant noodles? They're heavenly. I they weren't so calorific and sodium heavy, I would eat them all the time
@@keihan26 I go back to Japan every year :) point was that mikey is very good at commentating about food not that the 2 minute noodles didn't actually taste good
Mike with his future kids:
Good job, here's your piece of pork and hot oil.
how else you reward your kids?
Strictly Dumpling hot oil training haha
Lol seems legit lol I like it

I don’t wanna answer that question
I don’t wanna help you sleep
Stick... A wooden stick
Al Cipta ur a creep bro
Al Cipta what’s wrong with u?
@Al Cipta ok buddy
yes, I also watched the video.
Mike is such a good judge of noodles, cause he's literally had them everywhere in the world.
"I wasn't planning on it, but once you see it, you have to get it"
Literally all of Mike's shopping trips
Isn't that just about everyone's shopping experience? xD
I swear, Mikey’s gonna come out with his own brand of hot oil and it’s gonna fly off the shelves...
He's already is trying to get it into production he has a video about it
well, *grabs savings*
0.o I'll take your entire stock!!!!
This comment aged very well
Oh he did and it's amazing
My anxiety was heightened watching Mike get the ice cream first instead of last lol
Mike's wife one day: honey we need to spice it up
Mike: 🌝 *throws hot oil at her"
Lmao
Imagine not writing an original comment
Brenan - Gaming just a comment.. not a 5 acres land bruh chill

> if a someone you didn’t know sends you a link to a website saying...

what will you do next??
Girl: Let's spice things up a little bit...
Mike: Some hot oil would do the trick!!!
Haha underated comment
* pours hot oil on condom *

Mikey just avert your eyes and move on
Me: Watchin this at 2:00 am
Stomach: So you have chosen death...
Where do u live?????
Its 10 pm in the uk
Me too😆😆; It’s 2:34am now!!
It’s 4:13pm where I am
Watching this at night aswell but I got food poisoning yday and anything I eat, comes back out in a matter of minutes 😭 im starving and torturing myself watching this but the food just looks 😍
omae wa moo shindeiru
Instant PTSD As soon as i saw you grab that “tonkotsu” vegan ramen.
Lol yeah I had the same reaction. I forced myself to forget about those garbage noodles but when I saw them on this video I remembered the pain 😭
I've tried that "Ocean's Halo" brand stuff before. I completely agree. That's the food you give to your girlfriend when you don't want to see them anymore.
Same, I had the tonkatsu Ocean's Halo ramen and it was so bad I tossed it out after two bites without finishing. It tasted like it had no salt and it had a strong bitter flavor.
lmao nice suggestion
Americans: Ugh, I hate rainy days!
Strictly Dumpling: This is a great day for an amazing broth!
I'm one of the few American's that love rainy days, stormy weather, and snow with a passion! Everyone else runs away at the gentlest sprinkle! lol
Rowan Elessar weirdo
Look its raining! puts on Jogging gear.
Rowan Elessar when was there ever a stereotype that americans hate rain?
Mikey IS American...
“When a good instant noodle is good, I reward it with pork, like my parents did to me!” Lol Mikey you’re so damn adorable 😇
Here I was back in college eating ramen straight from the package. Then I learned to throw everything but the kitchen sink in it. Making egg drop, veggie, thin cut chicken, fish,etc. It’s such a versatile dish that can please just about anyone.
I can't believe Mikey made me want to spend $12 on a bowl of instant ramen.
I didn't catch the name!
@@jenninva1 Ippudo, or Hakata Ippudo
Me : watches all kinds of ramen videos in youtube.
Also me : got access to nothing but maagi instant noodles.(veg)
Amazon, Joseph? Maybe?
Maggie is a joke compared to these 🤣 that's all we have
Lol me too
Bruh I only get the fire ramen
Herebin south africa we also have maggie 2minet noodels that shit aint ramen but i do have a mini. China town down the road go get all my noodels ther e my wife favoret ir korean 2x spice noodles
Watching Mikey eat a bunch of delicious looking instant noodles while I eat my sour and spicy sweet potato noodles with home made beef and shiitake mushroom broth, homemade hot oil, and a side of kimchi and some marinated beef I made myself.
I am so so happy right now
The joy that comes from his voice about all the food he sees and the tastes of each individual item is wat makes my days.
“there’s some wasabi in the mayo!!” *package literally says mustard*
I’ve had the ramen and it def tastes more wasabi than mustard lol
The moment he picked up the Ocean's Halo ramen box, I flinched. Had it from Walmart once and instantly regretted it. Have not come across a good thing from them and couldn't finish the bowl despite all the Christian-raised guilt. No amount of "THERE ARE CHILDREN STARVING" rhetoric could get me to do it, sorry mom. Please don't become an ash wraith to haunt me.
This is what I learned from Mikey
*Splash = 1 table spoon*
*Hint = 5 table spoons*
I would love if you made a list in your description of the ones you loved so we could try them. Thanks!
'Is this expired?', I know Mike doesn't meant to roast that vegan-tonkatsu so hard, but omgg that burns 😂
I wanna see the daily workout routine cuz this ain’t adding up
Haha!
Once his metabolism slows down our boy Mikey gonna be a chungus humongous, trust.
He's done plenty videos on that. He runs like 5 miles every morning or something and then weight lifts before ending the day.
Amey G4B4 No offence, but ramen doesn’t really offer much protein
@@Galactic123 Nah. He exercises an insane amount, and he has said that off camera he eats very little and healthfully. His muscles naturally burn more calories as well. Lean muscle increases the amount of base calories you burn each day.
Nexttime in japan look in 7/11 for Nakiryu instant noodles, they are from a 1 star michelin ramen restaurant.
I think he had it in one of his Japanese 7-eleven videos. He has lots of them by now so idk which exact one lol but I agree with you. Nakiryu is actually I ask people to bring back for me whenever they're on a trip to Japan.
hehehe had to like your comment since I see your name come up from time to time watching Sumo :p
@@Snowkitty1424 Hello my fellow sumo fan, always nice to meet people with the same interest. Finally we will have a basho this month.
What a small world youtube can be.
This is the first time I've ever since Mike spit out food. That vegan ramen must have been ungodly terrible DX
Poor Mike...
Lol it is, I would say to burn those noodles with fire if you ever see them but the fire my spit them out. The secret ingredient must be bleach or embalming fluid. They are that gross.
Definitely the worst brand of instant noodles I've ever had.
I don't trust anything that has the word vegan on it, especially ramen and burger.
Mike, I hope you read this.😊 My grandma came from Taiwan many decades ago to visit us in Bellevue. Grandma didn’t know any English, so we had to come up with creative ideas to teach grandma some English words like “Uwajimaya”. So grandma would say she wants to go to 我的媽呀 then we know she meant Uwajimaya.😂
Can you start showing the receipt on your grocery bill? I want to know how much you spend.
8:55 Mikey doing his best imitation of a peter parker dance
there’s something strangely comforting about a hot cup of 33 cent cup noodles idk lol
right...
I knew it! I pick up the Super Big Ramen every time I go to Uwajimaya and the noodle texture is surprising. I tried it initially because it was on sale for like $1 a bowl. One of my favorites for the price point.
Lol the "It smells like nothing" description of the vegan tonkotsu.
Is there a “much better with hot oil” shirt?
Myojo yakisoba is one of my favorites for years now and I'm so happy to see that Mikey has legit taste buds and gave it a glowing review. I really wanna try the $1× instant noodles
I feel like mikeys catch phrase is “MUCHHHH better with the hot oil!”
Wow if we had a supermarket like this I'd be in there for a week ❤️
Like who needs a kitchen when you got Japanese stores providing you with these amazing things 😍😍😊❤️
“If you can’t open it that’s probably your fault..”. So true! But opening the ippei-chan karashi-mayo to make good stripes is an art.
The Ippudo instant noodles are supposed to taste pretty close to what they serve in the restaurant because that was the selling point when the Seven-Eleven convenience store developed the product in joint with the ramen restaurant. They wanted to create instant ramen products that taste like the real thing in the restaurants.
When I heard my notification go off, I said to myself "If this isn't for a Mikey Chen vid, I'm gonna throw my phone into the wall."
I'm watching this on my phone. Thank the maker for Mikey Chen vids.
Omg!!! Mike has met his sodium content for the year :)
12:50 That Myojo Ippeichan Yakisoba instant noodle thing is my all-time favorite instant noodle. There's another flavor of it that is a little lighter but really good too. I could eat these every day.
Me: looking at the screen with a lot of love in my eyes...
My boyfriend: Whoa, what are you looking at like that.....
Me: * turns my ipad around to face him...*
* Different kinds of ramen flashing by...*
Him: Figures....
“If you get caught at customs, they will take this from you because of the pork inside”
*confiscates Mikey on his flight back from Japan after scanning him and finding mountains of chashu in his stomach*
Its strange seeing my own pfp. I briefly thought I had commented on this video before then realised this was the first time I watched the video so it couldn't be possible. First time I've seen someone else use it which is surprised and also yes
Mike when will the merch with
*I dont to hangovers*
*I only do food comas*
be released? XD
already in the store :-)
@@strictlydumpling Ah really? Did not know that😅
I would rather be drunk on food everyday instead of alcohol😉
Actually never had alcohol before and have no plans to either😅
@@strictlydumpling I'd like to see (THEN BUY) a shirt with "We will We will Wok You"
Me: *frantically searching for names of Asian noodles*
My search history: *does not compute*
You know a good instant noodle cook when you see one, I kinda want Mike to cook my instant noodles now.... And goddd mike please sit down and have your food!!!
You know your product is good if:
-Mikey adds pork to the item
-Mikey adds hot oil to the item
-Mikey adds both hot oil and pork to the item
The noodles that come with the mayonnaise are my all-time favorites! It was a secret. Now they're going to be even harder to get :)
Ever since I watched your noodle videos I can not stop asking my mom for new ramen to try and I told my girlfriend that we need to get noodles and try them and kinda be like you. You are the best you make my day when I'm not doing so good thanks 😊♥️
Please do more of these. I love watching you rate the instant noods
Good timing! I was just rewatching your Osaka Japan food tour vid💜
Você é tão linda 😘😍😘🤝 14997254794
Last time I was this early, it was Strictly Dumplin'
Thank you so much for doing this. I was generally curious about some of the choices you purchased and didn't want to spend money on instant ramen I may not like. I wish I could try that Ippudo ramen but unfortunately I don't live in an area with such a wide range of Asian choices like you do. I was really looking forward to this type of video. I hope you continue to do compare and contrast to a wide-range of similar instant foods so we, as a viewers, can get a general idea of what they may taste like.
My gosh. This brought me so much happiness. I caught myself literally smiling.
When you were dancing you reminded me of Peter Parker from Spider-Man 3 😂
😂😂😂😂
I think that's an insult
Noodle time!
BRUHH I AM CRYING...THEY DONT SELL ANY OF THESE IN MY CITY 😭😭😭 i wish i could try these
We literally only have the nasty gross cheap cup of noodles with radioactive vegetables in my town like I don't understand like I understand that it's texts but why can't we have some diversity and are Walmarts and targets and things like that instead of just plain out cup-a-noodles like like down in Dallas and stuff you can sometimes find stuff but I've done to other states and be able to find you know huge amounts of different ramen usually I just have to order everything online
You can try the first yakisoba that he liked if you get them on Amazon. Search "Myojo Ippeichan Yakisoba Japanese Style Instant Noodles." They're very expensive online right now, I am thinking because of covid. They are very good though.
@@saramoore6911 i tried some of the cup noodles but it tastes bad af
@@wendygutierrez2323 there are few supermarkets in the city who brings in imported noodles here but they are so hella expensive that even if you like eating it, you probably would think twice before spending money on it again. but now during the lockdown situation here, they are giving priority to deliver other necessary stuffs from amazon and most of the noodles are marked unavailable :(
@@rai.b Not only that, but Japan isn't shipping to the states right now....at least for commercial stuff, so if the noodles are coming from there they actually CAN'T mail it to you.
"I thought is was a peanut' I LOST IT
19:58 - That joy in Mikey's voice when he realises the packet is chillies.
Cup noodles - meh! Japanese version - why that changes everything!
^ how I feel about everything over there. From seven-eleven to just about every fast food chain.
Darn it Mikey, you’re not allowed to tell people about that instant Yakisoba! It’s one of my favorites and almost ALWAYS sold out at my local Japanese spot. RIP me ever getting it again. =>.
The Nissin Curry cup ramen is soooo good!! I always get that one at the store. Also if you like fish, there is a Seafood one with little pieces of re-hydrated calamari, fish, scrambled eggs, green onions, and cabbage - the sauce is thick on it as well just like the Curry one. Good stuff!
Mike, can you post all the brand names/varieties in your descriptions? Those yakisoba ones you posted look dope.
I was thinking the same thing! No English on a lot of them
That’s the supermarket of my dreams 😍😍😍 that’s it I’m flying to Seattle from Cologne !
I live here. Can confirm its worth it
@@Boinks Ditto. Uwajimaya is the best!
hey Mikey friendly reminder that tonkatsu is fried pork cutlet and tonkotsu with ‘o’ is the pork broth ramen 🍜
First and foremost, just noticed we have the same name!
Secondly, you definitely need to do a Nissin cup noodle challenge, in-and-of itself. You need to order/find the following:
Nissin 7Premium Instant Cup Ramen Nakiryu Tantanmen
Nissin Raoh Japanese Instant Ramen Dandan Noodles
Nissin Instant Cup Ramen Santouka Ramen with Asahikawa Pork Bone Based Soup
Thirdly and finally, you should do a Korean instant noodle challenge next.
I had that yakisoba with mustard mayonnaise recently for lunch while at work, and I agree with mikey's reaction. It was great, slight hints of wasabi and creamy mayo.
I'm glad I'm not crazy, lol. I bought one of those Ocean's Halo ramen kits, and I was really excited about it, but it was just. Inedible. I really tried to get through it, but it tasted like damp cardboard. I don't know if it's the bowl it cooks in or what. I rarely throw food away, but it had to go. :(
that was BAD
All that packaging for a terrible meal, such a shame
I tried the miso flavor of that brand it's not any better
They also sell just the Ocean's Halo broth, avoid at all costs.
Damn... how did that thing manage to get on the market? Didn't they test it?
I moved away a decade ago and thought I was over missing Seattle, but man I miss the rain. Also, I've been trying a lot of different instant noodles the past year thanks to you and some other channels. Gotta say, I think personally Korean ramen is the winner for me. There's something about the bold spices and subtle simplicity of the ones I've tried that just really hits the perfect ratio. Also Shin Ramyeon has about the best noodles around for an inexpensive instant noodle.
I moved from the west coast to Tennessee and even though there are Asian markets I miss the one's in Portland. I haven't even found a restaurant that has roast duck here 😭
Just had a realisation that your video can one day be an anime series. Your commentary made it soo tempting.
Love tonkotsu, I was excited when you picked up the packet. As soon as I heard vegan I instantly lost interest and had a feeling it wasn’t gonna be great 😰 thanks for taking that bullet for me! lol
I feel like to move to Seattle after watching all those food mart videos from last 3-4 episodes of strictly dumplings.🤤🤤🤤
Everything goes well with hotoil

I saw the curry cup noodles today and was like “I can’t buy those Mikey would never” 😂 NOW I HAVE TO GO GET THEM
Me too 🤣
HAHAHAHA! Damn! The "tonkatsu" ramen gave me hope in the beginning!
Living the life through Mikey 🔥
I love Ippei chan too! When you go to Japan again, please try "UFO" and "Peyangu" those are 2 popular instant yakisobas, and we have a "team UFO" and "team Peyangu" battle
“Sa-koo-rah soda” 😂. Looks delicious though!
I really love these instant ramen videos. I cant wait for the grocery store haul video. If i were to go shopping i would have bought the whole store i don't know how u have such strength not to buy everything!!!! Im so going to my local asian supermarket right now!!!
Best food vlogger Mikey Chen ❤️
Glad you liked the yakisoba one, I love that one a ton myself.
Using instant yakisoba to construct a Yakisoba bread is amazing btw (and better than actual Yakisoba bread imo cause the texture of springy instant noodles just match better with soft fluffy bread than the thinker soba noodles)
As soon as I saw you grab the vegan noodles I knew you would hate it. As you made it I was screaming to not try it 😂 I bought that awhile back and was SOOOO excited and it was one of the worst things I have ever tried in my whole life 😅
Radioactive vegetables!!! 😂😂

Mikey I have noticed that whenever you have anything with karashi mustard, you call it wasabi. They are different
to be frank to anyone outside of japan and had never tried the real wasabi, it's wasabi
best ramen according to mike:
hot oil + noodles
hahaha You NAILED IT lol. --- The Muk Bros !
@@themukbros8518 you do know you don't have to tell people what your channel name is right? not trying to be toxic, just curious
Mikey: "Yeah its horrible"
*continues to eat*
😂😂😂😂
Suggestion : You are amazing. If possible please try to do testing while sitting on high table. Eating something continuously standing not good.
You rock.
Why did I think about brains when I saw the ninja burger XD
Mikey dancing waiting for the cup noodles just made my day!
Hey Mike, love the videos! Been binge watching your videos during quarantine, and I, personally, feel like the sound is a bit soft. Sometimes I switch between other youtube videos and I have to keep lowering the volume after I watch yours. But other than that, keep up the good work and stay safe!
This guy making me want to open a ramen shop. So good.
I’m glad you love Uwajimaya! The one in the international district has a food court and a Japanese book store. It’s basically heaven.
"Holy Broth, Batman!" Mikey no wonder the trees there are so green. Let it rain! I hereby dub you....." Hot Oil Mikey". ❤
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry"
*Watching mikes video*
"FUCK!"
Ive been adding tom yum paste to my ramen and is amazing! Im thinking of throwing in a couple boiled eggs in and other ideas
Hi Mikey! The Curry Cup Noodles I actually recommend microwaving it, it’s also recommended by the directions on the side
The curry is more thick if you microwave it, versus the thin curry from just pouring hot water
Honestly, loving the noods. 😍
When we lived in Kirkland, we went to Uwajimaya all of the time. Awesome. Loved living in the Pugit Sound area.
