However, I do believe that everyone should at least try it once.
Those noodles are very tasty. Most Asians and Westerners tend to agree. Btw, most American grocery stores now offer at least a half dozen ramen varieties from Korea, Japan, or Malaysia for 1-2 bucks. A store like the one in this video just opened in my town in Texas. I would go for the variety of flavors only. If you want "real" restaurant-made Asian soup, you'd be better off going to a Vietnamese place for some pho or Korean/Japanese for ramyeon.

Dining out has always been a luxury. It shouldn't be something you do often. It should be a special treat. It's always cheaper and healthier to make the same dish at home.
Exactly. I remember in the 80s, it's a monthly affair or if times were tough once in two months to dine out. We would dress up and it was a special occasion.

True it is instant Korean ramen. But if we are going to go through the rabbit whole of the national origins of ramen, it is actually Chinese and called lamian. When ramen was first introduced to Japan in Yokohama Chinatown it was first called Chinese soba. Then it was renamed as ramen which means hand pulled noodles. Except ramen noodles isn't based on the Northern Chinese noodles but on Southern Chinese noodles from Guangzhou. Today's ramen is considered Japanese-Chinese food. Shin Ramen is a Korean interpretation of Japanese food that is an interpretation of Southern Chinese (namely Cantonese) food.
@@MrMrbokchoiTrue, although you have to admit when people think of “ramen” it’s usually the Japanese version such as shio, shoyu, tonkotsu and miso offerings while the instant noodles are known for either Nissin for Jp, or Nongshim for Kr, etc etc. In the West when people hear of ramen they immediately think about Japan first, but the sad thing is many people in general can’t differentiate the differences between the Korean, and other Asian variants.

@@fordhouse8bif your being cheap/budget conscious just by the ones at your local grocery store, if your picky about the brand you eat just pay an extra $5 for it
This is not a new idea by any means , in fact I watched a program some years ago about how prison inmates make meals in their cells like this , they also made a Ramen Sandwich that was quite popular . When I have left over meet and veggies from other meals I will sometimes do this .
I used to eat a lot of ramen. Ended up with diabetes. I drank water. Never ate fast food. Didn't have a sweet tooth. Never ate anything breaded. Ramen is highly processed carbs. Food is expensive. But so is endangering your life. Just buy groceries and count your carbs on an app. $6/ meal on low-carb veggies goes a long way.
Sorry to say having diabetes is more related to your genetics than eating processed carb. I ate ramen like every other day for over 50 years now. I do not have diabetes but i have high blood pressure. And blood pressure also is genetic related.
My favorite is ramen noodles with stirfry vegetables, add in some left over chicken or beef with your favorite seasonings like sesame oil, soy sauce, very inexpensive and delicious
I started eating in high school around 1971 or so. On first tour in South Korea I learned how to "dress it up." I'll add chicken, sausage, hotdogs, vegetables and I won't necessarily use the season packs but make my own broth using: 1 Tablespoon Hoisin Sauce, 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, garlic powder, Sesame Oil, Italian seasoning plus an additional beatened egg. I save the flavor packs to use in something else I make a pot of like chicken and rice.
Y'all live somewhere else besides America? He isn't providing service in your dang house. Its $6 for the convenience, free toppings, utensils, and place to eat with friends and or family on a day out instead of being cooped up in your home all day. Where can you go out to eat and pay less this $15 a meal these days??
Not bad, considering there’s another restaurant in Aurora charging $16+ for ramen and I swear that the $1.50 ramen bowls that Walmart sells taste way better. Actually like the idea, good way of trying different ramen brands with some interesting toppings.
@@michaellee2910 This place offer 50 varieties of Korean ramyun. How many of those 30 varieties of ramen are specifically korean?

I'm a big fan of Ramen noodles. And at 84 years old its a damn good thing! I've boiled up a chicken thigh added the noodles and made 2 meals. Took 2tablespoons of ground beef added taco meat seasoning and noodles. Yummy👍👍
Actual unmanned instant ramen shops in Korea offer much more fresh succulent and healthy toppings such as bean sprouts, baby bok choy, turnips and carrots, etc.
This exists in korea and only reason it works there is because theyre unmanned and 24/7 and relatively common around the city Charging like 3x the price and making it manned and making it a sit down restaurant makes it a novelty
Sadly if all you can afford is cheap ultra processed garbage food full of carbohydrates, you're more likely to gain weight than buying the much more expensive and healthier fresh foods.
@@Taldaran I knew a guy who was a multi-millionaire. He was also kinda weird. He purchased his clothes from thrift stores and showered at work because it was cheaper. His daily meal was a potato and a bag of mixed vegetables. He said that was cheapest way to eat and get all your required daily nutrition.
@@Taldaran That's not true in the slightest. There are people with quite a bit of disposable income who refuse to put the fork down even eating "better food", it has nothing to do with it being ultra-processed. That's the last thing to consider other than shoving your mouth each time you get stressed or are just mindlessly gorging.
Being an instant food, ramen noodles can increase the risk of stomach cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure , kidney ailments and even strokes. So eat them occasionally.
Packaged ramen is something I'd only eat as a last resort if I'm too out of energy/time to make anything better, I would definitely not have it as part of a restaurant dining experience, even if it's cheaper than most other places
Even cheaper when you can do this exact same thing at home. Cute? but I expect actual fresh not fried instant ramen noodles when going out to a restaurant. But hey. this is easily profitable for them.
I think it's a cool idea, some of the small ones are probably only a few bucks & you can make it a thing with a friend. Plus there's a ton of shelf ramens so I'd actually like some advice by the staff
I wouldn't necessarily call this a "restaurant" but rather a boutique snack store where you can eat on the premises that just so happens to offer everything you need to make a hearty meal. That being said, I'd say America is ready for this concept that Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and more are doing. Everyone likes even the more "exotic" ramen brands these days I'd say the explosion of anime culture. 7-11 is experimenting in a few key markets in the United States right now this is where there's a high Asian population but I think we need to create a chain of these in the country that are either inside the gas stations, grocery stores, or right next door to either so it creates a gathering spot for people rather simply coming and leaving quickly like usual. Everyone feels very isolated these days even after the pandemic and this would help with the loneliness epidemic and create a mini boom in affordable meals.
this is why ramen shops will never do well outside of Japan. why spend almost $10 for a bowl when $10 can get me 20+ packets of ramen and I can put in whatever ingredients I have at home. People pay top dollar for Pho because Pho cannot be easily replicated at home.
Some tips for cheap meals- Costco pizza and hot dog, and subway. For Panda Express, mix fried rice and chowmen with your own white rice will fill you up. For ramen put tofu and frozen peas, corn, and carrot- healthy and will you up. Praying for America! God bless us all!
Our fam likes to get the Panda Express family meal. We get chow main with the mushroom zucchini chicken and mix it all together for a more deluxe chow main. Lots of leftovers even with 4 people.
Since 2019 restaurants and fast food places in my area had their prices jump between 50%-200%. That's a lot higher than "25%." This video fails to express local reality...
I want a PB Sandwich restaurant . Made with your choice of bread, toasted or plain. Jam, jelly ,banana, etc? And big mugs of fresh cold milk. One appe too.😅
A Korean business that doesn't overcharge? That is truly revolutionary! My mother is Korean and we own a vegetable market so believe me I know. I argue with her all the time to lower the prices but she refuses.
This seems so wrong and scammy when you can walk into any grocery the and see that all these ramen bags are pretty much all $1/bag. Then compare it with burgers/sandwiches etc and see that there’s actual labor there. This sucks.
For my family, we just can't afford the Grocery Store that much anymore, so that's why we've had to get "Five Finger Discounts". I get my kids to wear backpacks and grab some meat and carry in their bookbags. Or, they'll shove some expensive stuff in my wheelchair bag, because the Clerks never check my wheelchair carry bags. That way, we can save $100 or $200 per week.
If we didn't just have a government for the last four years that was failing the American people by design we wouldn't be worrying so much about the cost of food
Kudos for the low prices the store offers. However, the report failed to mention these are DIY bowls of instant ramen, not real ramen in my book. These are stopgap fake ramen if you are a foodie. I wager selling these at that price is more profitable than selling real bowls of ramen made the wholesome way.
Is this for the homeless or can anybody go in and eat this. Just wondering because it would cost me more to drive to the store than it would eat the Ramen at my home.
I only add 1/3 to 1/2 of the packet. It tastes better and keeps the sodium level way down. Then add meat, vegetables, frozen potstickers or whatever I have on hand.
Spam isn't necessarily cheap: It's just pork shoulder meat made the same way as corned beef. You can make spam at home cheaply but may as well just cook the pork and eat it straight.
I enjoy a healthier home made version at home for a fraction of the cost. I use organic ramen noodles, fresh veggies, home made bone broth, fresh sliced Shabu Shabu, an egg or two, some shoyu, sesame oil, some ginger and garlic and onions. Super delicious. Inexpensive too.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
$6 for ramen and some toppings and they are paying for the building, utilities and staff. That's amazing!
Mind as well pick up some instant noodle from an Asian market for $3 and "cook" at home. This isn't a restaurant.
$6 is amazing! It's like the tax on a restaurant bill, not even tip.

I think it's a cool idea, some of the small ones are probably only a few bucks & you can make it a thing with a friend. Plus there's a ton of shelf ramens so I'd actually like some advice by the staff
You can buy those ramen for little more than one dollar and cook it at home… 4-5 dollars markup
Smart. This same motto is done in Japan and Korea.
Don't want to overcharge people but charges $6 for a 80 cent pack of noodles that they have to cook themselves!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about the toppings that are actual meat and vegetables? You can’t be old enough to use RUclips and be that obtuse, can you?
I thought it was gonna be affordable and then theyre offering pack of ramen for $6 and you cook it yourself 😂.
Hey can you show me where I can get these noodle BOWLS for 80 cents? That's an amazing deal.
I wouldn't necessarily call this a "restaurant" but rather a boutique snack store where you can eat on the premises that just so happens to offer everything you need to make a hearty meal. That being said, I'd say America is ready for this concept that Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and more are doing. Everyone likes even the more "exotic" ramen brands these days I'd say the explosion of anime culture. 7-11 is experimenting in a few key markets in the United States right now this is where there's a high Asian population but I think we need to create a chain of these in the country that are either inside the gas stations, grocery stores, or right next door to either so it creates a gathering spot for people rather simply coming and leaving quickly like usual. Everyone feels very isolated these days even after the pandemic and this would help with the loneliness epidemic and create a mini boom in affordable meals.
That is such a cool restaurant!
go to restaurant for something you could easily cook at home no thanks.
By that logic why go to 5 guys, taco bell, McDonald's or Popeyes then.....
It’s packet ramen 😂
this is why ramen shops will never do well outside of Japan. why spend almost $10 for a bowl when $10 can get me 20+ packets of ramen and I can put in whatever ingredients I have at home. People pay top dollar for Pho because Pho cannot be easily replicated at home.
@@Wongseifu548 especially Subway like u have to be lazy AF to put some bread,meat and veggies together lol
It's for the experience more than anything. Eating out with friends.
Creativity is key to adaptability
So many ways 2 enjoy this classic.
great business supporting the local community
RICH CELEBRITIES AND CNN/MSNBC KEPT TELLING ME THE ECONOMY IS GREAT
Some tips for cheap meals- Costco pizza and hot dog, and subway. For Panda Express, mix fried rice and chowmen with your own white rice will fill you up. For ramen put tofu and frozen peas, corn, and carrot- healthy and will you up. Praying for America! God bless us all!
Our fam likes to get the Panda Express family meal. We get chow main with the mushroom zucchini chicken and mix it all together for a more deluxe chow main. Lots of leftovers even with 4 people.
Love Ramon but use only use half packet of bullion because it’s too salty.
chuck the packet and make my own broth from veg scaps and leftover bones
Its doesn't matter....the noodles worst than cheapest slice white bread, plus the noodles are fried to preserve it to last forever
really depends on which one you buy. for the cheap american ones like top ramen and maruchan, yea sure
This looks just like the self serve noodle bars in Japan and Korea.
its century old korean fast food recipe, this isn't news
In other news, ramen is 30 cents a bag at walmart
That stuff is brutal on your body. There was a study that showed the stomach can barely even digest those noodles
Not for the good stuff. A 4 pack of nong shim black is $12 plus the cost of the toppings and sauces they are offering.
Since 2019 restaurants and fast food places in my area had their prices jump between 50%-200%. That's a lot higher than "25%."
This video fails to express local reality...
I want a PB Sandwich restaurant . Made with your choice of bread, toasted or plain. Jam, jelly ,banana, etc? And big mugs of fresh cold milk. One appe too.😅
I’m curious wanna check that place out
It looks delicious
If you want spicy look for made in Korea brand
The Asian market on Alameda and federal has a great selection in bulk and it's cheap b
Oh that’s so healthy
Instant ramen packets are obviously more costly than regular noodles in bulk it is about the convenience the flavors and overall experience 🍜
What is the recipe though? Ramen with toppings?
Ramen got me through college.
These types of Ramen houses are normal in Japan. Mainly self serve 24hrs
High sodium and unhealthy
It's not a restaurant if it's just selling pre-packaged soup that you can buy at the dollar store for a fraction of the cost.
$6 for Ramen???? It's 20 cents in stores
I’m perplexed as to why ramen eateries aren’t at least half as popular as Mexican places.
A Korean business that doesn't overcharge? That is truly revolutionary! My mother is Korean and we own a vegetable market so believe me I know. I argue with her all the time to lower the prices but she refuses.
It is not. Most Korean businesses charge reasonable prices. I highly doubt that you are Korean.
That’s expensive. Go to Asian market to buy ramen , eggs , mushrooms , vegetables, Just add water
You can save more money , it will cost about $3
They should off TV dinners as well.
$6 for an instant ramen??
Doesn't make sense.
I just cook one at home.
This seems so wrong and scammy when you can walk into any grocery the and see that all these ramen bags are pretty much all $1/bag. Then compare it with burgers/sandwiches etc and see that there’s actual labor there. This sucks.
$6 is overpriced. You can buy a weeks worth for $6 at the store
For instant noodles, 6 bucks is still expensive.
Food prices are crazy
For my family, we just can't afford the Grocery Store that much anymore, so that's why we've had to get "Five Finger Discounts". I get my kids to wear backpacks and grab some meat and carry in their bookbags. Or, they'll shove some expensive stuff in my wheelchair bag, because the Clerks never check my wheelchair carry bags. That way, we can save $100 or $200 per week.
I’m sure this will do wonders for your gut.
Yeah it can even fix a sink
If we didn't just have a government for the last four years that was failing the American people by design we wouldn't be worrying so much about the cost of food
Kudos for the low prices the store offers. However, the report failed to mention these are DIY bowls of instant ramen, not real ramen in my book. These are stopgap fake ramen if you are a foodie.
I wager selling these at that price is more profitable than selling real bowls of ramen made the wholesome way.
The report clearly showed customers choosing a packet of instant noodles and doing it themselves. Are you blind?
Im trying to be better with my money so I always get doordash from Hangang Ramen.
That's on average. My food bill doubled or tripled, depending on the store- and I don't eat a lot
is that ramen from japan in colorado? 1:58
No these are all Korean instant ramyun brands, like Noingshim, Samyang, Paldo, Soon, and Ottogi.
I can’t afford to pay the tips. So I serve myself.
Add a but of cheese and an egg and Ramen is fab!
Is this for the homeless or can anybody go in and eat this. Just wondering because it would cost me more to drive to the store than it would eat the Ramen at my home.
1:27 Indomie Chicken Curry.
Should try Indomie Goreng. 🍜
$6 for noodles and boiled water is ridiculous. if people are down that bad just go to McDonalds and get the $5 meal deal comes with a drink.
cool idea for those who does not want to do food prep and you basically have ready to eat meal but relatively more affordable price
I've seen this idea in Japan.
Great, now we're all living like students in a college dorm room because groceries are too expensive!
Enough with covid. The economy will recover very soon. Great entrepreneurship here!
The sodium in those things are crazy high. Stay away.
Been eating ramen for 46 years my blood work is perfect. You should like at the newer research on sodium
@@cm6534 Google it.
I only add 1/3 to 1/2 of the packet. It tastes better and keeps the sodium level way down. Then add meat, vegetables, frozen potstickers or whatever I have on hand.
Ram Yun 😋 in Aurora ❤
Ramen & Spam
I learned to “cook” in prison Colorado department of corrections YOS Youthful Offender System
Should i open my own “Ramen Truck” 🤣🤣🤣
Spam isn't necessarily cheap: It's just pork shoulder meat made the same way as corned beef. You can make spam at home cheaply but may as well just cook the pork and eat it straight.
What a unique idea. If it can work in a brick and mortar, why not a truck?
Is it healthy to eat everyday
Up just 28% since 2019? No, it's much higher than that.
I enjoy a healthier home made version at home for a fraction of the cost. I use organic ramen noodles, fresh veggies, home made bone broth, fresh sliced Shabu Shabu, an egg or two, some shoyu, sesame oil, some ginger and garlic and onions. Super delicious. Inexpensive too.
Sounds wonderful. I favor homemade food. Not so instant though.
That's cool I personally can't stomach ramen with the exception of one I like I really can't do it I gag.
So happy to see Glenn but where is Maggie?
I want the water machine.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
