The instant noodles: Vegetable ramyun Shin ramyun Seafood ramyun Beef soguki ramyun Mushroom ramyun Kimchi ramyun "Mushroom flavor": "Beef flavor": They all taste the same but are marketed as different flavours. You'd expect a vegetable flavour to have a vegetable soup base and taste like vegetables or a beef flavour to taste like beef? But it doesn't it's just all the same spicyish savoury or umami soup base. Like the only different one is jajjamyeon or however it's spelt, the black one. Cheese ramyun is like the same spicyish savoury soup base but you get a packet of cheese powder. NB: I don't have instant noodles often this is just from years of experience

It's not just you and it's not just Korean instant noodles, Korean dishes taste quite similar as well using mainly the same type of chilli and bean paste. Koreans aren't particularly known for having a strong culinary history and diverse choice of dishes but what they have is generally good. Most of them are also quite recent, one of the more liked meals I've heard about is budae jigae or army stew and it's made of Spam. In America, Spam is considered junk but one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Also I never buy or order ramen or udon in Korean restaurants since I know that most of them are basically instant noodles (and my Korean friends admit this is how they do it in Korea). Most Chinese and Japanese restaurants make their own noodles.

You should try The Nation's Noodle. It's really good with all kinds of flavors. Such as Christmas flavor, Chip Shop Curry, Beef and Tomato, Sweet and Sour, Chicken Mushroom and more. I personally prefer the Chow Mein flavor.

Yum yum yum I just ate Koka Spicy Black Pepper non-fried noodle and I thought it would be gross based on the packaging but actually it is really delicious. I'm so excited to tell people how yummy it is. It turns out it is a Singaporean noodle brand well we all know Singaporean food is delish. It's like pow black pepper pow umami pow ginger pow ultimate deliciousness. Then there's like this packet of crispy crunchy garnish which was the figurative cherry on the cake. I give it a score of 4.5 stars out of 5.
