I sadly have not been able to source either, I really want to try them both ! Ive heard mixed reviews about Chapagetti and better reviews about Paldo. Which one do you like best?

Chapagetti is the OG

Paldo. The sauce is INCREDIBLE. I make jajangmyeon and Paldo is a great stand in when I want it but can’t be bothered making it.

Nongshim 100%

Chapagetti! The Paldo Jjajang is trying too hard to be real jjajang; it just comes off as a really poorly made version. Chapagetti is its own thing, not satisfying if you’re craving jjajangmyun, but just the trick if you’re craving Chapagetti.

갑자기 짜파게티 먹고싶네. I saw this picture and I’m not even thinking about the one on the left. 짜파게티 is just more iconic to me.

It’s either Nongshim (Chapagetti Black) or Ottogi (Jjachelin) as far as instant jjajang noodles are concerned. Outside of their “bowl” noodles Paldo just doesn’t do it for me.

Nongshim because it’s nostalgic to me

Paldo!! Don’t get me wrong, I like chapaghetti but I always have to add stuff to it. With Pardo, I can eat it straight with just a sprinkle of gochugaru.

Wasn’t instantly a fan of Nongshim when I first tried it and compared to restaurant jjajangmyeon, bbut I think it has become its own thing at this point that its difficult to compare it with other brands.
Paldo however is something I’d grab if I’m craving for jjajangmyeon and too lazy/busy to go to the nearest restaurant. It’s just that close to the original version.

Tbh neither taste anything like the real thing especially the right one, no flavor in that but when you make it yourself even with just the basic ingredients you need its wayyy better and so different i genuinely cant compare them, might as well be two different flavor profiles
