I cannot even find a proper way to address this repulsive matter. I tried to find a direct contact or even an email to respectfully message your company privately, but sorry it came down to a public display. This review is specifically for the Sapporo ichiban ramen in chicken flavor (bright green package)
Ive always thought your company had the best ramen handsdown and I still believe your product is insanely beyond delicious in comparison to other brands that make such product. It’s nearly 1am and my 3 year old son asked for some noodles since hes sick. Did my normal routine of boiling the water and waiting for a simmer before adding the dry noodles into the pot. After adding flavor contents, I scooped out the noodles. As I was waiting for the noodles to cool down I noticed a black hair, so I removed it assumed one of my many hairs fell into the mix. As I continued to mix away, I noticed another black hair, much shorter, entangled within the noodles. I pulled it out and thought it was highly unlikely for another one of my hairs to fall in yet again since my hair is in a ponytail. I started looking through the noodles and noticed not 2, not 3 or even not 4, but 6 more little dark black hairs warped within the ramen! I couldn’t even begin to think what the hell it could be!
On top of my son crying for his soup, I began to scramble and look on the package for a contact. Not being able to recover such information, I searched the internet. Still no info on their website, which resulted in my final option in writing this review hoping one of your management from this corporation reaches out to me. I would never post anything to ruin a business, most especially something as vile as this. I’m too scared to even open the other packages we purchased only to find hairs in those as well. I’m in complete shock and utter disbelief that I had to experience such a disgusting matter. I’m hoping the products are checked for the safety of your customers.
I don’t live that far from garden grove, so if I have to come down to the corporation itself to resolve this matter, I will gladly head over with the entire bag of products purchased yesterday. I’m still gagging from the discovery of nasty hair in the ramen that I couldn’t wait til the morning to call your business.

Please bring back the Kitsune Udon!
There’s nothing like those noodles on the market at all!
I NEED THEM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

IMO, Sapporo Ichiban’s line of instant ramen are the best of all the dehydrated, packaged noodles on the market, and their pricing reflects it as well. The cheapest I’ve found them were for 50-​cents a package. Normal pricing can run as high as $ 1.30. Not an expensive meal by any means, but definitely higher priced and a bigger portion (3.5 oz.) than their competition (3.0 oz.)
PREPARATION:
While they make for a good noodle soup, they also make excellent fried noodles. Boil the noodles, drain, pan fry in a little oil, and season with the included flavor pack to taste. Delish!
A twist on making it the traditional way is to add in a raw egg at then end, whisking to break it up which results in an egg drop soup-​like broth.
As a kid, others would bring the package to school, crush the noodles, pour in the sodium-​rich flavor packet, and go to town. Yikes, not me.
I’ve also mastered the technique of cooking it in the microwave due to no stove at work. Microwavable bowl, flavor packet, 2 cups water, the noodles, 5 minutes on high. Comes out perfect. I use this technique at home now to save washing a pot!
FLAVORS:
Original is my all-​time fave. It has a beefy/​onion-​y taste that goes excellent with all the preparation concoctions.
Shrimp is another fave. Very good shrimpy taste that blows the competition’s version out of the boiling water.
Chicken is something I have to be in the mood for. Not my favorite flavor to make fried noodles with, but good for when you’re sick and need that chicken soup it’s-all-in-your-head remedy to get well lol.
Beef flavor has an odd aftertaste. Pass.
Miso is lightly flavored and not a fan of even in ramen shops.
Hot & Spicy is a good attempt at challenging Nong Shim’s Kim Chee version but falls flat.
The styrofoam cup versions have spot on taste with the packaged ones. They oddly give you the same sized seasoning packs that are meant for the 2 cups of water packaged versions. Can you say sodium overload?

i was a former employee.
Working environment of this place is AWFUL.
1. My toe nails came off for standing all day long with uncomfortable shoes they provides
2. Lots of mandatory overtime work without consulting employees.
3. They do not allow employee to go to restrooms while machine is working. No one is usually available to cover when we need to go. I’ve got interstitial cystitis. AWFUL.
4. Not enough rest for hard physical work.
5. I was told from the manager to park far from the entrance on company parking lot because «employees with longer years working has priority to park near the entrance». WTH?! It should be first come first serve basis. Otherwise, they should put a signs for those who has «priorities».
I was seriously thinking about consulting lawyer for this place’s work environment. I am glad I quit there.
They should treat employees fairly and consider their health and safety more seriously.

Véritablement les meilleurs nouilles instantannées essayées jusqu’à date.
La différence dans ces produits se trouve toujours au niveau du bouillon en poudre. La qualité dans le goût est vraiment supérieure à la grande majorité des autres nouilles. Aucun arrière goût désagréable ou amer. Le dosage d’épices est excellent. Faites votre choix parmi la marque Sapporo Hichiban. Vous en aurez au moins une dizaine de sortes à essayer. Franchement bravo, même pour des nouilles instantannées, c’est rien d’autre qu’il me faut !
Really the best instant noodles tried yet.
The difference among others is in the quality of the powder soup stock. The taste is superior to almost all the others on the market. No bad after taste or bitter sensation. The spice mix is clearly well thought. your choice is made among the Sapporo Hichiban collection, maybe ten different sorts of kit. Bravo, even for simple dried noodles, I’ll pick nothing else !
