Ramen King Kim Tong Kkae
There’s a ramen with a bright red package featuring a cute chef sprinkling sesame seeds. It’s called “Ramen King Kim Tong Kkae.” The unique design and quirky name made me curious about its taste, so I decided to give it a try. Here’s my review of this charmingly designed ramen with a distinct flavor.

Flavor
The first bite delivers an explosion of nutty goodness. The chewy noodles absorb the broth well, allowing the rich sesame oil and nutty sesame seed flavors to shine through. The broth itself strikes a perfect balance between a rich umami depth and a toasty, nutty aroma, enhanced by the addition of seaweed flakes.
The topping pack is the real game-changer. It elevates the flavor profile by infusing the soup with a concentrated burst of toasted sesame and seaweed notes. Eating this ramen feels like enjoying a luxurious sesame-flavored bibimbap with a comforting bowl of noodles.
The taste is not overly spicy but offers a pleasant saltiness, complemented by the delightful nutty and umami flavors of sesame and seaweed.
One standout feature of Ramen King Kim Tong Kkae is the use of dried noodles instead of the usual fried noodles. Dried noodles are made by air-drying rather than frying in oil, which not only reduces the calorie content but also appeals to health-conscious consumers.
With its delicious flavor and healthier noodle option, Ramen King Kim Tong Kkae is an absolute delight that combines taste and quality in one bowl.
If you’re looking for a ramen that’s flavorful, comforting, and just a bit different, this one might be worth a try!
