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.

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 sog... See more

Where's the flavour????

Where's the flavour????
I've been eating Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodles since the 1980s. Made by Golden Wonder back then. Absolutely delicious. Haven't eaten one for a few years until my wife bought some recently.
They were REVOLTING !!!!!!....NO flavour..just tasted of water and oily noodles. I will not buy the Unilever branded one again as it is a rip off to save money. The Lidl and Aldi ones taste the same if not better than the original Golden Wonder ones and a fraction of the price. GOODBYE POT NOODLE AND THANKYOU UNILEVER FOR RUINING YET ANOTHER UK BRAND..

Kingsize pot noodles is a scam for more cash for normal size ones

I bought a 4 pack of kingsize pot noodles & a 4 pack of normal pot noodles and the kingsize ones had exactly the same amount of noodles in them as the normal sized ones did,they are scamming customers and charging more for a bigger container only not extra noodles like it should be,never again will I purchase pot noodles,I'd rather buy other none scamming brands than theirs again

Will never buy a pot noodle again after that advert

Will never buy another pot noodle after that advert. Worse advert in UK TV history, absolute torture to listen to. Panicking to find the remote to mute it. They’ve changed the advert now but every time I see a pot noodle that noise is all I think about and it makes me feel sick and angry. Disgusting your meant to be selling a food item why make it so disgusting!!!!

This company could improve if they changed their advert.

This company could improve if they please stop the slurping on the advert. I have an aversion to horrible noises, and this one is just the worst for me. I have to keep fumbling around to look for the remote to put it on mute but by the time I find the remote I have had to listen through it. Due to this advert I will now never eat a Pot Noodle again, I could even go as far as to not watch channels that have adverts.

Never buying pot noodle ever again

Never buying pot noodle ever again even though I love them, Ramen from now on. All because of the disgusting advert, never heard a single person do this in public but we're forced to hear it in our own homes multiple times.
16.04.24 after its apparently been censored, no it hasn't.
