Reactions to the product in its first week of the release are positive. Especially, reviews say its modified spiciness compared to Fire Noodle makes the product more approachable. According to the spicy level Samyang Food suggests Sriracha Ramen in less spicy than Cheese Fire Noodle, which is the least spicy flavor of the product.

As the popularity of Southeast Asian cuisine in the country has vastly increased lately, market insiders expect Sriracha Ramen to be settled as the successor of Fire Noodle.
