A-Sha Meteor Dan Dan Noodles, Spicy Sesame Sauce, 12 Pack, Taiwanese Ramen

The most authentic Dan Dan Noodles I've found outside of my favourite hole in the wall ramen place in Tokyo. Dan Dan Noodles is my favourite dish and I've always wanted to make it at home but I was hesitant to buy this on Amazon because nothing - even well known supermarket brands - have come close to the real thing. But I saw the reviews of this one and gave it a go. Glad I did. The noodles are the perfect thickness and texture and the spicyness isn't burn your tastebuds off hot but it's for those of us who appreciate a good spicy dan dan noodle. The amount of sauce and sesame paste was a perfect ratio to the noodles as well (I used the entirety of both packets). The noodles only took 5 mins to boil (they weren't ready at 3 mins) and then you just mix in the sauce packets after you plate the noodles. Only "issue": the sesame paste comes out almost as a solid and won't spread in the noodles even when they're hot and wet. I recommend putting the sesame paste into a a separate bowl with a small amount of hot water to get it back into paste form before mixing it into the noodles otherwise you'll have chunks of sesame paste in your noodles. Outside of that this is a 10/10 for me and I'll absolutely be buying again. Bliss in a bowl.

Good noodles. Inexpensive. My only and and major complaint is the sauce is terribly bland. Like, no pepper at all. Is it defective?

Great noodles. The sauce's flavor is excellent. The noodle has a very good chewy texture. The only complaint is pricing.

Love the noodle texture but the sauce has no flavor & no spice. Sesame paste is almost solid as others have said. Want to try with just the sauce and no paste next time and see how that tastes.

Never had dandan noodles because they always have chicken added, but very nice. Sesame and medium-hot heat.

sauce is ok .. but these noodles do everything. soup . stir fry. noodle salad .. I haven't chilled them but that's not my thing.. they're very sturdy and a very high quality.. buy forever. make ur own sauce.

I have a subscription to this product and absolutely love it compared to other packaged noodles. The noodles feel light and healthy in my stomach, likely because they are air fried, made with simple ingredients, and contain no preservatives. The sauce tastes wonderful as well. These are essentially dried noodles and sauce that can also be purchased separately at Asian grocery stores, but they are packaged into individual portions, which makes them very convenient. One review mentioned that one of two sauce packets can sometimes be too thick and not very spreadable. I agree. A simple solution is to add one or two tablespoons of the hot noodle water to the sauce. This tip is also included in the cooking instructions for the chili crisp squiggly noodles version. Speaking of which, ASHA squiggly noodles are very good, although I personally prefer the dandan flavor slightly more. My only complaint is the price. I originally found both the dandan and squiggly noodles at Costco for about ten dollars per box. I understand that shipping alone significantly adds the cost on Amazon, but $30 versus $10 is still a big difference. Even so, I continue to buy these noodles on Amazon because Costco availability is inconsistent and I am hooked on them.

Pretty bad. Not even close to a good dan dan noodle. Just curly ramen noodles with a peanut sauce. No spicy umani taste. I tried two packages and threw the rest in the garbage.
