This past weekend, New York City wasn’t just serving street style—it was serving free ramen.
In a surprise collab between Paldo USA and WINK, noodle fans lined up at 258 Elizabeth Street to grab complimentary packs of Paldo Jjajangmyeon and Paldo Volcano Carbonara. And from the looks of it, the crowd brought the same energy as a K-pop concert. 📦🔥

🎉 The Hype Is Real
For the first 20 guests each day, Paldo gave away one pack of their iconic black bean noodles and one pack of the now-viral Volcano Carbonara Chicken Noodle. Ramen lovers were treated not only to bold flavors, but also a taste of Korean culture—right in the middle of Nolita.
The event was full of good vibes, playful content, and lots of reactions like “Where can I buy more of this?!” From selfie stations to spontaneous dance breaks, the line blurred between food event and lifestyle moment.
🍜 The Stars of the Show
- Paldo Jjajangmyeon – Deep black bean flavor with a savory, sweet finish. Thick noodles. Sauce, not powder. Instant classic.
- Paldo Volcano Carbonara – A creamy-meets-spicy blend that combines indulgent carbonara with a fiery gochujang-based kick. Cheese-friendly, TikTok-famous, and utterly addictive.
What surprised most people? The generous portion sizes and the fact that both noodles came fully sauced, not powdered. That quality was a hit—especially for first-timers.
