This list covers 22 well-known Korean ramen, ranked by sodium per 100 g. Nongshim Yukgaejang Bowl Noodle is at the top with 1849 mg per 100 g. Nongshim Sichuan Chapagetti is at the bottom with 788 mg per 100 g.
Most of the soup ramen sit close together in the upper part of the list, between 1411 mg and 1849 mg per 100 g. The lower part is mostly sauce, stir-fried and mixed noodles. Use the ranking to see which names sit near the top, which sit lower, and what else differs between them.
The top of the list
Yukgaejang Bowl Noodle leads at 1849 mg per 100 g. Paldo Lunch Box follows at 1605 mg, then Ottogi Snack Noodle at 1583 mg. Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild Flavor (1567 mg) and Spicy Flavor (1550 mg) come next, and the mild one is slightly higher. Nongshim Sari Gomtang Noodle (1545 mg) and Paldo King Ttukkeong (1536 mg) are close behind.
The famous red-pack names sit in the middle of the upper group. Nongshim Shin Ramyun is at 1492 mg per 100 g. Shin Ramyun Gold is at 1432 mg and Shin Ramyun Black is at 1328 mg, so the two upgraded versions are both lower on this measure. Samyang Samyang Ramyun is at 1517 mg per 100 g.
The lighter end
Nongshim Mild Neoguri is the lowest soup ramen on this list at 1233 mg per 100 g. Its taste tag is light and clean. Below it, the list changes to sauce noodles. Nongshim Chapagetti Double Black is at 966 mg per 100 g, Samyang Buldak Bokkeummyeon is at 914 mg, Paldo Bibim Myun is at 838 mg and Nongshim Sichuan Chapagetti is at 788 mg.
Sodium is only one number. Paldo Bibim Myun has the highest sugar on the list at 9.23 g per 100 g, and its taste tags include sweet. A lower sodium figure does not mean a milder or lighter bowl overall.
How to read the label
Every number here is per 100 g, not per pack or per bowl. Compare the same base when you look at a pack in your hands. These are the Korean-market versions, and packs sold outside Korea can differ.
Wheat is listed on the label for some of these, including Yukgaejang Bowl Noodle, Shin Ramyun Gold, Shin Ramyun Black, Ansungtangmyun, Squid Jjamppong, Mild Neoguri and Sichuan Chapagetti. Check the ingredient and allergen lines on your own pack, especially if you avoid a particular ingredient.

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.
