Spiciness9%

They are fairly spicy however. as is kimchi.

Flavor7%

Flavour is bit different than other brands of kimchi noodles I've tried: The broth is thicker and the sweet and tangy flavor is quite strong - quite tomato-y, and there isn't a lot of umami taste

Nutritional Content6%

Of course, there's next to no nutritional value to them

Size-Overall5%

They are small

Texture/Consistency-Overall5%

taste is not bad texture isnt as good as some other brands
