ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

about this ramen: this is our classic shoyu ramen, loosely based on new wave tokyo style. the soup is a 50:50 mix of golden chicken soup and seafood dashi, the dashi containing kombu from hokkaido, and dried sardines from the setouchi region, plus high-quality dried bonito. it’s packed with umami, light but hearty, and just the kind of ramen we could (and often do) eat every day.

Tastes horrible

Cooked the ramen correctly as instructed but the broth tasted awful. I’ve had that ramen before in restraints and it’s never tasted like that. The noodles were a horrible consistency too.

SHOYU RAMEN KIT

10/10 Ramen Kit

Loved every bite & slurp! Super authentic flavour and really simple instructions. Having these ramen kits in the freezer is such an easy win.

Amazing

So easy to do. So good to eat. Will be getting again

Amazing noodles and shoyu broth

Just come back from Japan and this is a close as it’s gonna get to the real deal in the UK.

Delicious, perfect blend of chicken broth and dashi, noodles had bite and the chashu was unctuous.

Banging Noodles!

We have visited Matsudai a number of times and never been disappointed! This “at home” pack was incredible and delivered that amazing taste at home! Easy to do and clear instructions! Will definitely be ordering again!

Very good

Tasted great, really easy, and sorted out the mess dhl made with the first attempt at delivery very quickly

SIGNATURE SHOYU RAMEN KIT

broken soup bag, soup is very strong dashi flavour

one of my shoyu kits had a compromised seal on the soup pouch so it leaked all over the ingredients so we were one broth down...
also this is personal preference, but we were not huge fans of the strong dashi flavour of the shoyu broth, we felt like it overpowered any shoyu flavour it would have... but still tasty overall. the noodles are amazing!

Excellent! Simple to make and super tasty to eat. X

Delicious every time

This is the 4th time we’ve had ramen from you guys, and every single time it hits the spot. Delicious broth, and exactly the right amount of toppings, cannot fault this at all. Will continue to order from you!

Ramen Kits

I have tried 2 kits and have been very happy with the ease of preparation and taste. They are great for a good quick meal like one would get in a restaurant. I would however prefer a larger serving of pork slices.

Very tasty

Way to salty

Such a shame I was so looking forward to the chippy. It was way way too salty so much so that I couldn’t taste all the other bits. My sister couldn’t eat her’s. I managed to power through mine as I was hungry. I will say the noodles were really good boiled and fried. I haven’t tried the other dishes in my order but I’m hoping they aren’t the same.

Delicious!

Fantastic ramen

Great flavours, amazing ingredients, will be ordering again.

delicious

Delicious

Tasty ramen delivery without compromising on quality

I was impressed at the freshness of the ramen and would order again. If you love ramen but don’t have an authentic satisfactory restaurant near you, Matsudai is the answer. Unfortunately I’ve yet to find out how I can keep a stock for emergencies as while it is freezer friendly, I don’t want to risk ruining the perfectly runny ramen egg.

Delicious

Absolutely delicious, I visit your store every time I go to Cardiff without fail.

Item arrived 4 days after dispatch and was unsafe to eat

Item arrived with ice packs completely thawed 4 days after dispatch.
I didn't mind as they offered to resend. I requested 21st December as new date, or New Year but they didn't dispatch and won't respond to my emails.
£49 and nothing to show for it except a video of inedible food from the delivery.
I think this could be nice if you live in a city and delivery is better, but if you live in a city you probably wouldn't need to order food to prepare at home as you could order hot take out.

here's a tip, dont ask for tips

like the title says. the food is fine.

Great ramen

Love matsudai, the pleasure of a great ramen at home.

Great Item 5*

Consistent, great food!

I’ve made a few orders for different kits from Matsudai over a couple of years - each and every time they’ve been amazing, really easily prepared, very, very tasty (better than any restaurant chain and a few individual stores where I’ve been able to find ramen!) really pleased with my most recent order and I will be making one again soon!

Great Item I have ordered again for next week & 5* Service

Very tasty!

Awesome flavors, easy to assemble, will definitely be ordering again

Got their act together

quick delivery - great kit and now the noodles are much less salty - very good !

Absolutely love this ramen!

I’ve had the Signature Shoyu Ramen a few times now and it’s just gorgeous. A ramen night in this house is a very happy night!

I thought I had gone to Japan

But seriously….. Matsudai ‘kits’ deliver really good Ramen. They are stupidly easy to make into a meal (and I ignore some of the instructions and microwave the broth to heat it, I know, I know, but it works perfectly well) and the little trimmings are just ready to add. This is ‘restaurant quality’ at home.

The ‘Signature Shoyu’ ramen is quite light (the opposite of the classic Tonkotsu which is a real winter warmer that requires a short nap after eating) and the broth is notably different being half seafood broth.I’ve tried most Matsudai Ramens and they’re all great and arrive promptly and perfectly.

I would note that sometimes I have no idea what I’m ordering, I’m not a Japanese speaker and ordering is sometimes guesswork for me, for example when looking at the ingredients, what is shio tare? negi lard? rayu? and do I want to add some extra ‘menma’? etc., but you know what, it’s all good, I like an adventure. Yes, it feels like I’ve gone to Japan and don’t quite know what I’m ordering, but it is all delicious and I’ve learned something and worked out my favourites (I think that’s probably ‘Tantanmen’). Oh, and it’s not all ‘brothy’, there’s a new Shirunashi Mazesoba that I just have to try, simply because it’s not brothy, ie not what I thought it would be.
