Review: Iforgot was to lazy to make a pot of noodles last night at home so I would have lunch for the rest of the work week so when the hunger struck, I opted for the next best thing. Well, maybe not the next best thing, but a thing that comes after home-made food. How far after depends on your upbringing I suppose. Growing up, my Father and I used to spend weekend afternoons together working in the yard, watching sports and the A-Team, and cooking up some Maruchan Ramen Noodles. By the time I was in high school, I had tried enough Maruchan noodle-creations to write a cookbook (tip: make a packet of ramen and mix it with Mac n' Cheese powder... yum!), yet I don't think I ever had a teryiaki flavored Maruchan dish.
Yakisoba comes with the iconic brick of Maruchan ramen noodles, a small plastic bag of dehydrated cabbage, corn and carrots and a small foil bag of teriyaki flavor-powder. Add water, add veggies, cook for 4 minutes in a microwave, add teriyaki powder and stir. That's how easy it is to make your own noodle dish reminiscent of a really bad japanese restaurant run by a senile old Italian man. While these noodles aren't objectively bad (the vegetables turned out rather tasty in fact), the teriyaki flavoring ended up tasting something like spiced maple syrup. Maruchan has kept me fed this long, I'm not letting one bad experience turn me into a detractor of the brand, but if you are looking for an inexpensive noodle dish, I recommend sticking with the $0.15 packets of ramen noodles.

I don't know I kinda liked it. C'mon it's Nuked Noodles. Its not like it was made in a Japanese Grandma's kitchen...
I liked it alot! For 92cents you can't beat it. It was sweet but teriyaki sauce is sweet!
i am not a picky eater...AT ALL... and I wasn't too thtilled with this product...
i absolutely love teriyaki typically...
to me, this tasted like eating incense (at least, how i imagine it would be)
you didn't add enough water if you didn't like it. I made several never adding enough water, tasted bad. If you add a little more water than they say, its way better and somehow changes the flavor IMHO
I like this product a lot, and eat it for lunch at least once a week. it's only 87ยข at the local Wal-Mart.
I find the Chicken version much better, you should review that! Mmm mmm.....
I thought this stuff was decent for its price. I added some soy sauce to it though. Sure its not real yakisoba but it fills you up.

Oh forgot to mention it only cost 97 cents at my local target (East State Street, Rockford)
I thought these were quite tasty. The spicy-sweetness of the teriyaki sauce was just right, and the noodles were just the right consistency. Sure, it was nothing like something that could be made from scratch, but what the hell do you expect when you buy a 98 cent pack of noodles, powder, and dehydrated cabbage?
I thought these were very good, especially considering the price. I enjoy these and will continue to purchase them. I feel they are better than the Nissan counter-parts.
