"The tonkotsu broths, made by boiling pork bones for a dozen hours or more until the stock takes on a white, creamy, lip-smacking, gelatine-rich vigour, had profound depth. The noodles had necessary bite. The eggs had perfectly jellied yolks; remarkable when served in a restaurant, a small miracle when delivered halfway across the country."

Absolutely delicious

We came back from Japan and were having withdrawal symptoms without any decent ramen until we discovered Matsudai Ramen. I was abit nervous as it wasn’t cheap but the quality and authenticity was fantastic. It was also so easy to cook and put together. Easily as good as anything we had in Japan!!

Move to boil in the bag has really lowered the quality

These sets were great, unfortunately they've changed to boil in the bag, quality has really dropped

yeah...

its good matsudai use less packaging now. but as it now comes as a single frozen block its impossible to have nice presentation of meat and menma.also also we can no longer reduce the spice sauce level for people who prefer more milder palette

I preferred when this wasn’t frozen

The flavour is great as always but the presentation really suffers from the new way of heating the broth and meat and oil together. It made the meal feel less special and I missed th crispy bits on the pork.

A delight to the senses

Fantastic looking dish which tasted just as good as it looked. I was concerned it would just taste 'hot' but the flavours were much more nuanced than that. Will certainly be ordering again!

A bit like the “Curates Egg” only good in parts

Compared to restaurants or even my home made attempts I thought it was very average and too salty

Great flavours but extremely fatty. Packaging not great.

Packaging was okay, spring onions were just thrown in the box so were crushed and unusable. Egg tubs burst in the cool bag. Actual ramen was good and hit the notes of an authentic Japanese ramen. This one is extremely fatty and the broth is very very heavy. Eat quickly before it cools otherwise the fat will congeal like gravy.
