you have been in socal way too long...

what does that mean?

I think you assume too much, I've actually lived in Hong Kong before as well.

Santoka>Shinsengumi

I would try that place if it wasn't all the way in LA. I'm too lazy to drive that far with gas being expensive these days. Shinsengumi is just a few minutes for me while Santouka would probably be a 20 minute drive at least.

They have ones in Torrance and Costa Mesa as well.

The one in LA is the closest one for me, I live near the Santa Anita Race Tracks to give you an idea. Well technically I live in Riverside but when I do come back I don't feel like driving an extra 20 minutes from my 45 minute commute for some ramen.

 

[lil smoke]

Love these sorts of instant ramen, soba, etc. but when I read the sodium content, I have to put it back on the shelf. These days I just can't do it

 

[Tyrannical]

Anyone? ;-(

No, that's crap. That's why the topic is about Nong Shim.

 

[oxtailsoup]

Wow, 88 cents at Wal Mart and by far the best instant ramen noodles I've ever had. Nice and spicy too, sturdy styrofoam bowl. But it's the actual noodles that are so tasty.

Do these have any meat, or meat products in them?

 

[nakedsushi]

Oh man, why did I open this thread? I brought lunch, but since I work so close to the WLA Santouka, I think I'm just going to go there instead. And stock up on bowl ramen from Mitsuwa while I'm there.

Ah noodles in soup -- why are you so delicious?

BTW, the awesome pho place in Alhambra is called Pho 79 I believe, not 99. It's a little south of the movie theater.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

I think its Pho Super Bowl since he said its on Main St.

Santouka's is too greasy. It's just all fat, and no extra noodles. Also, it's not very filling either, so in the end, Shin Sen Gumi ends up being cheaper.

Shin Sen Gumi is definitely king.

Illinois has a Santouka at the Mitsuwa. Very popular since there are barely any ramen shops around here.

Good news oxtailsoup, it DOES have beef products in it. So it kinda sorta makes it an oxtail noodle soup.
(eating a yummy bowl nong shim spicy chicken)

 

[pjberri]

CORRECTAMUNDO.

Fry up some dumplings and stir them in with the noodles, that shit is wild.

I like Teumsae Ramyun for really spicy shit, even if it is face-burning spicy.

 

[Star Power]

Hmm, i think I'm gonna make some spicy shrimp noodle soup tomorrow thanks to this thread.

hah I see, well I like the site because it helps to bring business to local restaurants that may be good but most people don't wanna risk their $10 and not enjoy it when they can go somewhere they know or many people they know about and has a reputation as well.

It's helped me find many local places that I now frequent. I do not swear by it religiously but it helps to know whats is a local favorite in the area.

 

[tnw]

I've never had nong shim. I'm sure they don't sell it in Japan, so that's not suprising.

and hakata ramen sucks. boo tonkontsu :/

I love sapporo ramen

and pho.

the best thing ever is tom yam kun ramen with rice noodles! ........

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I just came back from Japan today, this thread is TORTURE

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

where do you shop?

I mostly stay in Arcadia when I happen to be back home on weekends.

Goddamn I hate boring Riverside.

Are you from Arcadia? We might be neighbors

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Are you from Arcadia? We might be neighbors

yeah I live near Temple City High

 

[laesperanzapaz]

to OP,

you do realize that ramen and especially styrofoam-readied ramen is the equivalent nutrition of eating a Big Mac with extra extra salt and just as full of taste [read: none at all], do you?

 

[tokkun]

The Nong Shim bowls have around 350 calories and 10 grams of fat.
A Big Mac has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat.

There is about 100% of your daily sodium intake, but you can avoid most of that if just eat the noodles and don't drink the soup.

 

[El Papa]

:lol

they actually love me over to the ones I go to, never have any issues. Let me see if I can get the address for you and I will PM it to you.

Are you talking about the one on Main and Garflied? Pho 79?

yeah I live near Temple City High

HA, sorry about that BEATDOWN Alhambra put on you guys last year in football!

Nong Shim's Udon Bowl is the best instant noodle ever.

For $2.50, you can get a bowl of udon that's just about as good as any udon you can get at most Japanese restaurants.

 

[Formless]

No instant noodle brand beats those "Mama" Thai noodles

What's the red and white stuff that looks like sliced radishes? I see small peices of that in their other noodles. I've really no idea what it is and I wont eat it.

They're slices of totally synthetic fish cake. I don't know if there's actually fish in them but they certainly don't taste like fish. Imagine them as spam...but Japanese and uh...wannabe fish?

The "fresh" ones you get at the market are good. I imagine meat of the future (when we all live in space ships) would pretty much taste like that.

HA, sorry about that BEATDOWN Alhambra put on you guys last year in football!

wrong quote buckaroo

but yeah main/garfield. Pho 79 ( I knew it was something like that)

 

[Yoboman]

Nothing beats it... Nothing.

With some chicken, egg it's even better. Put some sour cream in too and it's delicious

 

[Zyzyxxz]

why are you apologizing, the hell I care I hated my school. I hated football players as well so whatever lol :lol .

Beside I graduated back in 2005 so I wasnt even around to know about it.

 

[bigmit3737]

On GAF we have fanboys for instant ramen.


Weeeeeeee.

:lol
