- Hey noodle lovers! 🎉
Ever wonder if fancy noodles are worth the big bucks? We did too! So we spent $70 for this Momofuku noodles review to see if they're really that great.
👨🍳 Who Makes These Noodles?
A-Sha and Momofuku!
💸 Why $70?
You can only get all five flavors from their website. That's why we spent $70. Amazon only has three flavors.
🍜 What Flavors Did We Try?
We cooked up five flavors: Soy Scallion, Spicy Soy, Sweet Soy, Spicy Chili, and Tingly Spicy. Yum!
🔥 Spicy or Not?
Some were spicy but not too hot. Others were really spicy!
👍 Our Ratings
We give scores to each flavor. Some got 5 out of 5!
🤔 Is It Worth It?
Watch the video to find out if these noodles are worth the price.
👇 Where to Buy
We got ours from the Momofuku website. That's the only place to get all the flavors.
So, are these noodles a hit or a miss? Click play to find out! 🎬

The chili crunch shenanigans revealed them to be quite the bullies so no to momofuku for me.
I'm down with the non-momofuku a-sha noods.. also trader joe has noods that are made by a-sha.
Just got a 5 pack of the Tingly at Publix for $7.99 this morning.
That’s cheap just found them at target for 12 bucks
I just happened to find them in the market, yes had to buy. Worth it. If you want you can add anything you like or just alone. Good.
Just got a 4 pack from Whole Foods $9.99. Sou and scallions… very good!
A-sha noodles on their own are great. The hainan style noodles with onion, original soy and spicy chilli sauce are all already pretty awesome. They are also much cheaper - $6.98 for a pack of 5.
The Momofuku Chili Crunch goes great with the noodles if you want to bump up the spice and add some varied texture to it.
Screw Momofuku and it's chili crisp. They are trying to make it so no one else can use that term.
I hope everyone knows u can make really good noodles at home without buying these pre made stuff. just buy the egg noodles dried n cook as usual and add sauce
Well said. Plus, if you pay at least some attention to prices, you can make a lot more, better quality for a fraction of the price. When I saw they paid $70 for 5 bags of noodles, all I could do was laugh. Sorry, but a VERY large portion of that cost is simply paying for the Momofoku name. I wasn’t Momofoku born yesterday!😂
@@aaronbickford8725no their review was horrible. It's 5 flavors with 30 individual packs. That comes out to $2.33 per serving. If that's too expensive we'll...

Most people don't have time or going to invest that kind of time to make noodles when this is so much more convenient. People can make homemade pasta which I do for special occasions but not on a weekly basis.
What sauce would u add?
I’ve tried a lot of packaged noodles and I have to say these are so easy to prepare and very tasty! $2.50 a pop but I think the ease of preparation is key. Can’t go wrong with these.
Buy any dried noodle and source in Chinatown. It will tastes 5x better at fractional price
Not sure why these are so crazy priced now.
They used to be $1 more per 5pk than the equivalent A-Sha 5pk. Now it's double the price.
The sauces are slightly different, but I'd recommend just getting the A-Sha noodles and tweaking the sauce to your liking.
Definitely a great recommendation! We've found the A-Sha ones at our local Grocery Outlet from time to time and love those as well.
So 1 bag (@ $13.) has 6 blocks/portions of noodles AND 6 separate sauce packets?
Always see these momofuku noodles in stores but could never pull the trigger just cause we could never justify that price. But now we may have to give them a try
They're for sure top tier out of the quick-prep noodle category even if they do cost more 😅 Definitely think you guys would like it though!
Bought these during the anniversary sale. Really disappointed that none of the flavors packed a punch for me and all tasted very similar.
I'll try them. Bought the spicy chili. Will have to use less sauce for it😮
The soy scallion version has almost no flavour at all..
LOL…this Irishman loves noodles too!
well yea asians like noodles, we created them. its like asking Italians why they eat pasta
Yes they’re a rip off. 0:03 is all the further I needed for that.
agreed
I'm addicted to the soy scallion flavor. I can't eat the cheap stuff anymore, I don't like the texture and it's unhealthy. These let me get my noodle fix without the guilt 🍜 Oh and why do Italians love pasta so much?
These definitely have a better texture and feels like restaurant quality! You have fancy taste 😉
We love pasta too!! Because carbs! lol 😂
1 dollars worth of noodles and 50 cents worth of seasoning for 70$
70 bucks is like 30 packs not a dollar worth
And that's being generous!!
the noodles themselves are very good but the seasoning packs are soooo bland and in some cases even bad-tasting. with a lot of doctoring they're good but it's not worth spending so much just for noodles that you have to add a lot of stuff to in order to make them enjoyable. i'd just buy plain noodles at the asian market for a fraction of the price.
I bought them at Whole Foods. But they only have soy, tingly, & sweet&spicy
Asking why Asians love noodles isn’t racist. It’s a question. Many Asian people love noodles. There is a reason for that. Explaining our culture to others and removing mystery actually reduces the opportunity for racism.
70$ for something thats worth no more than 5$. What a joke.
Tik tok shop had all 3 flavors for 19.99...I had a $5 coupon so paid $15
Some of them are sold at Target stores too.
That's awesome! We were surprised to see it at BevMo too 😆
Id never pay for 70+ no matter who makes them, you got to be crazy to pay that kind of money. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree that it is worth the price. Much more restaurant style! Thanks for your great review!
🙏🏼 thanks for watching!
I have tried these before at Target, so I splurged and bought 6 packs. The package was lost for a month and their customer service team literally did nothing to help. They just kept sending the same generic email over and over saying the package wasn’t lost, usps just wasn’t updating their shipment tracking. For a month? Yeah right. I’ll never buy from this company again, and this is the first time I have said that in 38 years of life.
Hi! I’ve had a similar issue with USPS. They “delivered” my package but when I asked for proof of delivery they said they would investigate and nothing happened. They couldn’t find my package. Basically bought something and received nothing. I was so annoyed.
So it’s not Momofuku’s fault, most likely USPS. 😞
Are they cheaper at target?
Yeah they’re way overpriced. You go to Asian market get noodles for a fraction
Hi! Great run Peter and Kim! So good to see you guys out in the 626! Continue to make great videos!❤
It was great running into you too Kevin! Thanks so much for chatting with us! Hope to see you around!
@@PeterLisaKim very sorry I meant Peter and Lisa! Old age lol
😂😂😂
Tictoc has them all..
I bought the Tingly Chili and I thought they were terrible. The flavor was *so* artificial.
That's unfortunate! Would you give the noodles a try on its own with a different sauce?
Crazy. These are some of the least artificial noodles out there.
We thought they tasted weird too lol.
@@Grantalonus honestly one of the worst instant noodles i've ever had. then i saw they were with A-Sha brand, which is notoriously bad
yes, for sure @@PeterLisaKim
Where is their review on chilli crisps??
th-cam.com/video/Z_j60iduHmg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yy1OC_d7yZdiMzZt
It was a part of a round-up of chili oils/chili crisps. You can find Momofuku on the 3rd chapter!
I do not like the tingly chili 😢
They are two damn high smh
Two? Lol
Not Great !! SO many better options at wayyyy better prices . Buyer Beware.
They suck in my opinion...
same
Asians reviewing noodles. How can this be trusted?? Conflict of interests.
70 dollars for 5 pack of instant noodles 😅.
