CHEF WOO Spicy Tequila Lime Ramen Cup High Protein Noodles (12 PACK), 20g of Animal-free, Bioavailable Protein | Made in U.S. |

I can't eat regular ramen noodles anymore and I missed the texture, the experience of the noodles. They just have an irrational but solid place in my mind due to childhood comfort food status. I have tried konjac noodles and physically regretted it for hours and hours. Never again. But I kept shopping. These Chef Woo noodles had promising reviews and a promising ratio, but what sold me was actually some of the dissatisfied reviews. There are people who dislike the Chef Woo noodles because they're too firm. I can't tolerate mushy noodles; they send me involuntarily running for the trash can. When I would eat regular ramen noodles in the past I would slightly undercook them on purpose. Basically I like to chew my noodles. If they break down without much help from my teeth, they are inedible for me. If that also describes you, BUY THESE. Start with the recommended cook time and then experiment with slightly different cooking times with your microwave to find the Goldilocks texture for you depending on how powerful your microwave is. They do need to sit for a few minutes after the cook time also. Even when I have forgotten them for a little too long after cooking, so far I have not ever found them mushy. The chicken and beef flavors are both great and I alternate between them with my orders. I like to add dried chives before cooking. I did try the Thai lemongrass and it was good flavor but painfully spicy for me. For context, I can't eat regular buffalo wings, they're way too spicy. If that also describes you, the Thai lemongrass spice level is not for you. Overall I will buy the chicken and beef flavors for as long as they manufacture these without changing the formulation. I dearly miss the mushroom flavor of regular ramen noodles and couldn't find that in recent years anyway, so I would love it if Chef Woo made an umami flavor like that also.

This is very good. The broth is excellent. You could take the noodles out and have a good meal of ramen - then use the broth to make a single serving of soup if you wanted to. This is comfort food at its best.

Chef Woo’s Spicy Tequila Lime Ramen Cup is a great go-to for a quick and satisfying meal. It’s super easy to make, which is perfect for a quick lunch, and I love that it packs a good amount of protein. The flavor is bold and delicious, with just the right amount of spice, but enough to give it a nice kick. The lime adds a refreshing balance, making it way more interesting than your average ramen. A solid choice if you want something tasty, convenient, and a little different! Also the cheapest of the options which makes it a good deal.

They taste really good but the texture is horrendous. If you have any texture issues I don't recommend you buy them.

I tried another flavor of Chef Woo ramen (purchased at a supermarket) a couple of months ago, and had been impressed by the Gordon Ramsay video endorsement and the "hi-pro glow", and so decided to try a larger package as a birthday present for me. This Spicy Tequila Lime flavor was considerably less expensive than other Chef Woo ramen flavors if one didn't insist on Prime shipping, and the package nevertheless arrived 2 days earlier than the estimated delivery date. I followed the cup's microwave directions, which called for a far longer post-microwave standing time than other ramen cups I've tried; however, the waiting time allowed me to get the rest of the family's lunch (not ramen) prepared. I added a spoonful of white cheddar cheese spread stirred into the ramen (I could have used sour cream or cream cheese instead; any of those options would "mellow" the anticipated spiciness) and a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on top (a common ramen topping for me, regardless of the flavor).I tasted the "spicy", but not the tequila or the lime. Fortunately, the spice level was low enough to be tolerable, and I will eventually work my way through the rest of this 12-pack of Chef Woo ramen cups (hopefully with the help of other family members). I do not think I will order this particular flavor of Chef Woo ramen cups again, though I'd still love to find a good sale on the plain chicken or beef versions of Chef Woo ramen cups.

Good! A bit spicy. But don't buy it on Amazon. Cheaper at Walmart!!!

I liked the texture well enough and the flavor was good, but unfortunately I had to get a refund (I couldn’t return) because it was so spicy. I tried first with the recommended water amount but couldn’t finish the cup. I took a second cup to work and ate about half before my lips were actually burning. If you like spicy, this is actually pretty good. But if you can’t handle spice, like me, stay away. I went back into the description to look for the word spicy or spice amount but couldn’t find any description. Not sure what the spicy ingredient was, but I don’t think I can try another flavor for the price.

So, I am a non-recovering addict of Cup Noodles brand ramen (Chicken flavor to be exact). I am on a journey to lose the back that I have gained over the years. This was a great find, because it increased my protein intake without adding too much to the carbs category. So I can appreciate the product. I bought the Thai Lemongrass flavor. My honest critique: The broth is tasty, has a very mild but welcome kick to it, the veggies are also tasty. I was not prepared for the ramen texture however. While I can overlook some of the differences, for me ramen enjoyment is hugely tied to noodle texture. The noodles have a nice appearance but felt grainy to me. All this to say is that if you are comparing protein ramen specifically I think this is a good one. If you are looking to replace a Cup Noodles habit, it may take some time. But seriously not totally bad.
