Convenient versatile Gluten free with no excess packaging. No nonsense noodles.
Got the box of 48 noodle cakes. Packaging is the giant bag in the product photo carefully fitted into a cardboard box. Very nice. There will be some noodles no longer in cakes due to shipping. Get over it. Just measure about 1 cup or 1 1/4 cup of the dry noodle blob as an equivalent cake and move on.I think the noodles taste simply like brown rice. You are meant to add your own seasoning, so I dont understand people complaining about flavor. You season it as you wish. If you think they should magically taste like wheat, they wont, they are rice and millet. So guess what they taste like? RICE. Don't disappoint yourself by expecting this to be more than what it is.My seasoning recipe for one prepared cake of noodles:I use about a tablespoon of sesame oil, a teaspoon or two of gluten free soy sauce and a good sprinkling of white pepper. White pepper gives a light illusion of salt, without being salt. I dont salt mine. Adjust these amounts to your liking.You can season these to be Cajun, Italian, whatever meal you're making, as a side dish which is very convenient.I put all the noodle cakes stacked in large airtight containers. (I will use the bag they came in for a little trash can bag, so no waste there.)Cardboard box goes to the cat.Very happy with these.For anyone complaining the noodles are from China, a lot of your ramen products come from China, so just stop already with that nonsense. So are your tv and phone electronics that you cant live without. Why are you buying them 'Murica? Because they are good! Are you going to open your own noodle factory in the U.S.? Let me know when you do.Just shove some GF noodles in your mouth and enjoy them already.Sincerely,A citizen for no nonsense noodles.

Surprisingly good for such a bargain
My wife and I love to use this for our soups. It's actually a really good noodle, which surprised me cuz I've bought some bargain noodles and they fall apart so easily and get mushy. These just have a good texture and taste very good. Of course we add vegetables and stuff to our soups, but for a cheap noodle, it's quite a steal. Some of the bottom squares do come crushed, but nothing a few zip lock baggies can't fix. They are not individually wrapped but again, we just use zip lock baggies and re-use.

Great noodles low sodium
These noodles are great and the only reasonable option that I have found that doesn't have a ton of sodium. I have purchased these multiple times. Love them.

Not going to easily replace instant ramen, but still good
I love ramen, but just can't handle 1200 to 1600 mg of sodium with each bowl. I thought I could make my own, so I ordered these. I got the cakes quickly with zero breakage problems. They were packed well. I wanted to try to keep the convenience of microwaving, so I put them in a bowl with some water, dehydrated veggies, and chili paste. They didn't really cook well. They were still stuck together. But, I separated them with a fork and let them sit in the hot water for a few more minutes, and they were fine. They taste good. The texture wasn't quite instant ramen style, but it's passable. It's more like a pasta noodle. The bricks are small, and I will be using two, and the noodles are short. But , I was able to have an enjoyable cup of ramen with almost no sodium, and that is a winner in my book!

Great gluten-free noodle!
I am so glad to have found these noodles! Since being diagnosed with celiac and taking steps to heal my gut, one of the things I've missed most (believe it or not) is ramen noodles. The portions look small, but they're made from brown rice so are more dense and filling so the portion ends up being perfect. I boil them with a cube of Herb-Ox gluten free bouillon and a small handful of organic freeze-dried vegetables and they're delicious! They're baked and not fried, which is also much healthier. My kids are even satisfied with them! They end up being more expensive, but at just over a dollar a serving I think it's a great trade-off for a healthier product. They're part of my daily routine and I love them!

Half of the noodles were broken and crumbled at the bottom of the bag

BUT BREAKAGE PROBLEM WORSE!!! Fantastic! Gluten and FODMAP free!
STAR REDUCTION UPDATE NOTE:I stand by this as a great product, but the shipping results are terrible, thus I reduced the stars from five to three. It comes in plastic bag in snug cardboard box, and there is significant breakage. The first time it was MEH-- a goodly amount, but acceptable. This last time, a *substantial* portion of the product came in CRUMBS. Not just mostly broken cakes--- a heavy bag of literal shards and dust. This of course will affect serving size, texture, and taste of my finished food products.I want to constantly keep this product on hand in my cupboard, but I don't like to invest that much money into foodstuffs that will not be reasonably usable. I hope they decide to add more protection to their product in shipping.__________________PRODUCT IS STILL GREAT!Great product and this is a good deal compared to any shelf pricing. Cooks quickly, great taste and texture, versatile to cook with, good as a light soup, or a spiced-up heavy noodle dish.Comes in one big bag; I put several into a glass jar on my counter to cook with and pin the bag closed and store it until I need it. However, its good enough that my husband likes it too and we go through them faster than I thought I would :)

Delicious
I was purchasing these noodles through a local Costco (not low sodium). We have since moved further away from Costco and don’t want to drive 45 minutes for these noodles. I was very pleased to find these on Amazon, especially since they are lower sodium! I have purchased these a couple of times now and I’ve been very pleased! The lower sodium ones pull apart easier and I don’t notice a difference in taste. I love these noodles!
