 Meh! March 5, 2010

Flavor is a bit bland and something I'm not used to. Smell and appearance is not very appetizing. This is the only Nong Shim instant noodle I've had to throw away due to the taste. It's probably just me not being used to Korean cha jang noodle (at least the Nong Shim one). I'm more accustomed to the Chinese one where it's more flavorful/deliciously aromatic and not black. I've had 5 other people in my apt agree that it's the worst instant noodle they've tasted from Nong Shim.
Good noodle, bad sause January 31, 2010

The noodle is pretty good, and I love it. But the sauce that comes in with the noodle is horrible. There are three bags. One is veggie, another is oil, and the other one is Chajang (. The terrible one is Chajang. It makes the entire soup dark and makes me loss my appetite. I only used that sauce once, and then I just boil the noodle and add my own sauce.

I liked this. Nice change from ramen.
This is not a soup. It's noodles in sauce. Sort of an instant lo mein.
I did not find it spicy at all. But then, I like spicy food, so I might be used to hotter food than the average Joe.
The instructions cracked me up. "Boil 19-1/2 fluid ounces of water." This is just water you boil the noodles in, then drain and discard!
 And now for something different... (and oily) December 3, 2009

A longtime fan of Nong Shim's excellent and popular spicy Nong Shim Shin Noodle Ramyun and Nong Shim Kimchi Noodle Ramyun, I was curious to try something different. And different it is. This is the first Nong Shim product I didn't take a liking to right away.
Chapagetti is "chajang" + "spaghetti", chajang myun (noodle) being a Korean interpretation of a Chinese dish. Chajang literally means "fried sauce". It's a thick, black, soybean paste that's slightly sweet. For the instant version, Nong Shim replaced the paste with a mix-in powder. Inside the bag are 3 flavoring packs: a packet of sauce powder, an oil packet, and a dehydrated vegetables packet. Preparation is easy. Just add the vegetable pack to the noodles when cooking, drain, then add the other 2 packets and stir well before eating. The instructions say you need to boil the noodles in a pot for several minutes, but just pouring boiling water on the noodles and letting them rehydrate works just as well. I add the vegetable pack after I've drained the noodles so as not to pour it all out accidentally with the water. The residual heat and moisture will reconstitute the ingredients.
The first time I tried this, I added everything. It tasted very oily and the powder seemed to be too much compared to the quantity of noodles. The noodle platform is hearty, thick, and elastic, like Nong Shim is well-known for, but I particularly dislike the oil because it made them greasy and runny. Now, I add half a bag of the powder and discard the oil, saving a few calories along the way and cutting down on some sodium. The tangy taste is very similar to Myojo Ippei-chan Instant Yakisoba Noodles and other Japanese instant yakisoba because of the same Chinese culinary influence.
Chapagetti contains less than 1/2 the sodium of the regular spicy Nong Shim ramen, so as a quick meal, it's not as bad for you. You can also add cooked cabbage and slices of chicken or other meats to bulk up the meal and make it more filling, as well as improve the nutritional value.
Verdict: still a good noodle, but it may not be what some shoppers are expecting.
 Good if you know what you are getting. November 30, 2009

First, I like it. I read the reviews and it seems me that some people didn't know what they were ordering. It's not a soup based noodle food, but a noodle mixed with sauce dish. Also, vegetarians can use only black paste which is simply made from beans and not the dried spice which contains some meat. I hope this helps! I sprinkle some pepper powder, and it boosts the flavor. :)
