This page ranks 22 well-known Korean ramen by kcal per 100 g, from the most to the least. Paldo Lunch Box sits at the top with 453 kcal per 100 g. Samyang Buldak Bokkeummyeon is at the bottom with 379 kcal per 100 g.
All figures are per 100 g for the Korean-market versions. Packs sold outside Korea can differ, so use these numbers to compare products, not as a promise about the pack in your hand.
The top of the list
Paldo Lunch Box leads at 453 kcal per 100 g. Ottogi Sesame Ramyun and Paldo King Ttukkeong follow at 450 kcal per 100 g each. Nongshim Sari Gomtang Noodle comes next at 445 kcal, then Ottogi Snack Noodle at 440 kcal. All five are soup-style ramen, and all five carry the hearty taste tag.
Sodium per 100 g varies even among these five. Lunch Box shows 1605 mg and King Ttukkeong shows 1536 mg. Sari Gomtang Noodle shows 1545 mg and Snack Noodle shows 1583 mg. The highest sodium on the whole page belongs to Nongshim Yukgaejang Bowl Noodle, at 1849 mg per 100 g. Its kcal sits mid-table at 436.
The lighter end
The four lowest are Samyang Buldak Bokkeummyeon at 379 kcal, Ottogi Jin Jjamppong at 385 kcal, Nongshim Chapagetti Double Black at 401 kcal and Paldo Bibim Myun at 404 kcal, all per 100 g. Three of the four are stir-fried or mixed-style noodles rather than soup. Next up is a group of three at 417 kcal per 100 g: Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild Flavor, Ottogi Jin Ramen Spicy Flavor and Nongshim Shin Ramyun.
Lower kcal does not always mean lower sodium or sugar. Bibim Myun has the lowest sodium after Sichuan Chapagetti, at 838 mg per 100 g, but the highest sugar on the page, at 9.23 g per 100 g. Jin Jjamppong is light in kcal but shows 1369 mg of sodium per 100 g.
How to read the label
Every number here is per 100 g, not per pack. Check the weight of your own pack before comparing it with another. Seasoning packets, sauce packets and cup or bowl formats all change what you actually eat.
Several products here list wheat in the allergen line, so read the allergen line on your own pack. The list above is based on the Korean-market versions, and packs sold outside Korea can differ.

Nutrition and label flags, per 100 g
Every figure in the table comes from the product's own nutrition label as filed with Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), per 100 g so packs of different sizes compare directly. An ingredient flag means that ingredient is written on the label. An empty flag means nothing of that kind is listed. It is not a certification and does not rule out shared production lines. These are the Korean-market versions; packs sold outside Korea can differ.
