OK, I don't eat meat, but I do eat eggs, cheese occasionally, rarely seafood. I'm always looking for something I can nuke for lunch or dinner that tastes good, not high in fat or calories. I get tired of the same old, same old.I had Annie's micro brown rice before and liked it, thought I would give this a try.Here's all about my experience:TASTE - I thought it was VERY tasty. On the front of the outside packaging, it shows it having a heat/spicy index right between mild and medium. I would hate to see what they call HOT! I have had hotter/spicier, but I would AT LEAST consider this between medium and hot. Cleared my sinuses. LOVED THE FLAVOR MIXTURES and it was actually better than I have had in some restaurants and tasted fresh.PACKAGING/COOKING CONVENIENCE - JUST follow the directions carefully. Just a few steps, but important to follow re how to prep, easy though. Cooks in 90 secs and I let it sit about a minute. You do need to really stir to mix in all ingredients evenly.QUANTITY - For ME, it was a nice little lunch. If you're used to having a LOT of food for lunch, you might want two. ONE was plenty for me and FILLING.COST - OK was on sale, but I would pay regular price. Quality and quantity, plus having something DIFFERENT, well worth it to me.BOTTOMLINE: You don't know til you try it, but it you're a fan a fairly spicy Asian food, I don't think you'll be disappointed. ESPECIALLY at this price point. We don't have many great Asian restaurants in town and this really hit the spot!

I recently tried this brand and wow! I love how they taste! They are very easy to prepare. The individual packaging acts as the bowl. You just add 1/4 cup of water and 90 seconds later and some stirring, you have a great meal. The noodles are nice size and firm. The peanut sauce is sweet and delicious. Plus the veggies and peanuts it comes with add more great flavor and texture. For the price, you are getting a very good value as well as a tasty meal. I can’t wait to try more flavors! Give them a try!

My son would get lunch at school everyday, which ended abruptly in March when school moved online, I scrambled to come up with good lunch options for him daily at home, made more challenging by the bare shelves at the market. I was happy to find Annie Chun's Peanut Sesame Noodle Bowl | Non-GMO, Vegan, Shelf-Stable, 8.7 Ounce (Pack of 6) | Thai-Style Microwaveable Ready Meal in stock and well priced. He loves them and that makes them a great purchase.

I eat many Annie Chun products on the reg because they're good vegan options if you like instant noodle dishes that can be quickly and easily made in the microwave, which is definitely my jam. The yakisoba is my favorite, but I also like the udon soup and thai peanut noodle ones. I order these a dozen at a time to maintain reserves of handy fast foods I can make if I don't have the energy to cook (which is often, I have depression). If you're vegan and you want to stock up on handy instant noodle dishes, you can't go wrong here. This is my vegan, more expensive version of stocking up on Maruchan beef-flavored ramen, which is what I used to do before I went vegan. But it tastes much better than that!

We picked these out because we needed some pantry items (pandemic) but also strive to have cleaner ingredient lists. This meets the needs and some!These are delicious!!! And they're a great base if you want to add more veggies and a protein. They will definitely be added to our lunch rotation when we return to our physical workplaces.Only cons:I wish there was double the veggies. They're so good and very little come in the package.Of the four packages inside the cup, three are serrated for easy tearing, one is not....and that is the sauce packet, sooo it's the messiest of the four to open ???? I wish those had one too.Overall, delicious and we are excited to try other flavors as they come in stock.(Also, our 3.5 year old approves!)

LOVE THIS! THE SESAME PEANUT FLAVOR PACK IS PERFECT. SO EASY, EVEN A KITCHEN USELESS GUY LIKE ME CAN PREPARE IT IN LIKE TWO MINUTES! NOODLES ARE A PERFECT CONSISTENCY CONSISTENTLY :-)

Very bad even for instant food. Better off with actual instant korean noodles from nongshim, they taste better, bigger portion, and little/no sugar compared to the 19g in one of these. I don't think you should eat this even if someone paid you.Edit 2/5 after realizing user-error: I didn't make these properly and with apologies to the company, will note that for prospective customers, read very carefully. Do not automatically fill up to the line like with most other products, if you are microwaving--which I would recommend to avoid the pain of draining the water awkwardly with the weak plastic lid--you only need 1/4 cup of water. Also, it's very important to put the flakes into the bowl first, so the water gets there instead of dropping them on top of the noodles where they'll stay hard, dehydrated flakes.After having made them properly, they are pretty good and very quick to make. Having said that, I still think 19g of sugar is way too much and not necessary to have this taste good but I won't take a star off as that's my own fault for not checking before purchase.

I really like these noodles when you're looking for something really quick. They're healthier (and tastier) than ramen, and at the time I bought these they were less expensive than buying them at the grocery store. In my opinion the best flavor is Kung pao, followed by sweet teriyaki. Pad thai is okay but I don't remember it being that great. It's not an amazing meal, but for instant noodles it's my favorite.
