Neoguri ramyun review : very nice. Not spicy enough to frighten the horses, but a definite hint of chili. The seafood was a couple of slices of crabstick which was not enough from my perspective. I added a diced avocado to the final dish and that was very nice. When doing it again, I'm going to add a cupful of marinara mix as well as avocado and a bit more chili. That would be ace. I did enjoy the kelp-y bits. Dashi vibes were strong.

If there’s a hint of chilli will that be too spicy for someone who doesn’t like spiciness?

Probably not. Definitely not enough to bring up the sweat in the eyebrows and back of the neck. Just enough to know that somewhere, somehow, chili is involved. My current chili tolerance is almost zero, and this was a bit weak for me. You'd get more hit from a teaspoon of dijon mustard or a generous sprinkle of black pepper. Edit: this would be a good gateway drug.
