Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 37 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant disappointment with the product's taste, describing it as disgusting, bland, or lacking flavor, and often tasting like cardboard. The quality of the noodles themselves was also a major concern, with people noting they were soggy, clumped together, or hard, and that portions seemed smaller than before. The new cardboard pots were a frequent source of dissatisfaction, with many finding them too hot to hold, flimsy, and prone to collapsing, leading to burns and spills. Reviewers also mentioned issues with the amount of soy sauce provided and the difficulty in recycling the cardboard pots once saturated.

I've came to the conclusion that you…

I've came to the conclusion that you guys are really selfish with the Soy sauce i have a mate called Sara who said she got the same size soy sauce packet in the big one as she does in the small one and i won't stand for it no more! this needs to change, there is enough soy sauce for everyone in this world don't be shy!

Go woke go broke

Last time I looked plastic was recyclable so can’t see how it’s better for the environment, probably better for profit. Anyway, the cardboard pots are absolutely disgusting and all I can taste is soggy cardboard.
Luckily I’ll stay with the king size pots until they go the same way then I’m on to something new on a night shift! Adios pot cardboard

Paper pots not the same

I’ve had my food shop delivered today. The first time getting the new paper pots. Fair to say I won’t be buying them again. The classic chicken and mushroom flavour has gone and you can taste the paper. What a disappointment.

Love the bombay rotten box aka (bad lad) but recently I have noticed that someone has to go back to noodle school the pot no longer has enough noodle and flavours cutting costs is losing myself as a customer as I can taste the difference and I don't like it I have eaten the bombay since they first launched im half way through one now as I write this please do us all a flavour and offer the power mix as a purchase offer so we can make our own noodles with your specialty in powder to water ratio.

Thanks a once loyal customer

Absolutely disgusting

Absolutely disgusting, ended up binning it. No taste, flimsy packaging (not a great fan of the paper container at all) and way overpriced for a just a few noodles. Say goodbye to the chicken and mushroom. Just sad the company will lose millions in profit. Why change what works.

The new paper pot noodle pots are…

The new paper pot noodle pots are pathetic. So flimsy and dangerous as when you pick it up full of boiling water it closes in on itself. They don't set properly in the paper pots, also they taste bland. I was a pot noodle fan. Not anymore.

I used to love a Pot Noodle

I used to love a Pot Noodle, but now they are completely flavourless. The soy sauce is a joke. Didn't there used to be lots of peas and sweetcorn in them? Pots seem tiny now too. There is something far wrong when supermarket own brand noodles taste better than the original.
