China Melamine Soup Bowls Set of 2-8 Inches, Red and Black for Ramen Noodles, Pho and Menudo, by Umami Tableware

These bowls are massive! Perfect for pho, curry, vermicelli noodle bowl, etc. They are super durable in the hand and very shiny and nice looking. Would recommend if you need actual big soup bowls.

These are BIG and that is what I was looking for. They are Melamine and I an starting to get more and more fond of that product. My last big soup bowls were pottery and chipped and pretty bad looking. One of these new bowls had a black streak in the red interior and I mentioned it to the company and they immediately sent me a second set at no cost. I didn't even have to return the original set! Now THAT is customer service, I recommend them highly but be aware that they are pretty big and I am going to use them on the table for serving bowls, too. That's a nice bonus for me and my Corelle dishes have a black pattern around the edge and match nicely for everyday use.

These bowls are really cool... I love how they have the little holes so I can slide the chopsticks in there when I'm ready to serve supper. My husband and I don't always eat at the kitchen table so this is quite handy. So far they stand up to the dishwasher really well, and are just the right size for soup, rice, or any type of food we are eating.

These bowls are tiny. Maybe not "tiny," but way too small for ramen in my opinion. You can not put a Shin Ramyun disc in here without breaking it into quarters, and even then it won't sit below the water line. As a result you end up trying to put more water in and it overflows when microwaved. It is also small enough that when you use your chop sticks to push your toppings into the broth it will overflow out the handles of the bowl. The base of bowl is extremely narrow (around 1" ID at the lowest point).These are fine soup bowls when paired with the spoon, but really not practical for ramen unless you're serving children.

Very nice bowl. I bought these to use as salad bowls for meal sized salads. They are deep, so when you mix the salad to distribute the dressing everything doesn't escape the bowl. They are large enough for a good sized salad. They are well made and very pretty -- nice shine which I like.

These are a beautiful set, make sure you look under the styrofoam for the chopsticks. I gave these to my youngest for Christmas and couldn't remember what came in the set and thank goodness she checked under the foam. I will say, while these are lovely, they don't hold a lot. If you are true ramen addicts like we are, you know the bowl should hold a lot of broth. The chopsticks also have a weird clear dot that looks like maybe polyurethane at the square end? We'll have to see how these hold up to use.

These are great bowls. I have porcelain ones but I needed something for my deployment to Afghanistan. These bowls will handle any ramen or pho you throw at them. They are larger than I expected but that is a good thing. I will look for more of Umami's products in the future to stock my kitchen with. The addition of simple recipes is awesome. I can't wait to try some of them.

I was very excited to recieve this set.My excitment turned into disappointment when i saw a chiped spot.So now i can't use it !I don't want ro eat ceramic particles with my food!!!Also the color and design looked so much better in the pictures than in person.For the price i paid i expected a better productOverall not happy with the purchase.☹
