Serious Eats4.9/10

The Best Chicken-Flavored Instant Ramen | Taste Test

The panel described the flavor as nostalgic and reminiscent of Campbell's chicken soup, but noted the noodles were prone to becoming soft or chalky without a chewy texture. It was ranked lower than Sapporo Ichiban in the taste test due to noodle and broth quality.

The review describes the broth as one-note with a polarizing, distinctive celery salt flavor. It is labeled as a reliable base that requires added toppings to be enjoyable, as it lacks complexity on its own.
