    If there are any Canadians that live in BC, AB or ON, these can be found at T&T supermarket. They carry both Tofu and non-tofu versions of this noodle. I bought mine for $1.59 a pack.

    I recently fell in love with these. The first time I tried, I must have not done something right because it didn't get rid of the smell and I just didn't like it. However, I gave it a second go and I must have gotten it right that time because it was INCREDIMAZING! Having some tonight. Yummy! Will try the dry fry!

    Hi, first post here hehe I just use the site to calorie count.

    Anyway in Australia or atleast in Melbourne they sell them at woolworths/safeway. They're in the health food section near the gluten free pasta and are called 'slim pasta'. Google them they have a website where you can buy them online too. But yes the normal supermarket sells these and I'm pretty sure they're the exact same thing as shirataki noodles. Just with a different name.

    Thank you so much for posting! My husband and I saw these noodles online some time ago claiming to be zero calories, and we were far too skeptical to try them (especially since my husband, being Italian, is somewhat of a pasta snob). Now that I've been properly educated, we WILL give them a go. Thanks again!

    Chelle, I've been looking into them myself. However, i don't know where to buy them. I have seen them online, but... Where do you buy them? And have you tried the rice variety, too?

    Thanks for all the info! Can't wait to pick some up. When you use them in pho, do you still dry fry them first?

    Usually yes. Occasionally, no. If you don't dry fry them then wash them REALLY well with very hot water.

    Thank you! My husband and I are now going to give these noodles another shot. I am hoping for the best!

    I looked at prices on skinny noodle and miracle noodle and found amazon had better deals. Just waiting for my pkg to arrive to try them out for myself. I bought the angel hair and fettucini.

    I've read through virtually all the posts here and i don't think anyone has asked yet: how many servings are in a bag? i know its an 8oz bag which is usually 4 servings, but does that weight include the water? Would a bag be enough for 3 or 4 people? Also do these noodles come dry-packed without the water in them? Thanks

    I love shirataki noodles. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!
    Well I just tried tofu shirataki noodles ... found them at Loblaws and was like HEY I heard of these ... must get me some! 7 oz for $3.50 ... expensive ... but I wanted to try them! We had them in a stir fry ... OMG amazing! Just found a place that sells 14 oz for $2 ... got three packs! We are going to put a full 14 oz pack in the stir fry because the 7 oz didn't seem like enough (there are two of us). It's like two servings each I believe but I don't see anything wrong with that!

    Yeah they smell bad at first but you can easily get over it!

    I bought a few bags of miracle rice since my oriental background includes a LOT of rice eating. I didn't like the miracle rice alone, but if I mix half miracle rice and half jasmin rice I can handle it much easier, sooo I didn't cut out all my rice carbs and calories, but at least I was able to cut them in half!

    THEY ARE GROSS!!! i TRIED THREE DIFFERENT NOODLE TYPES AND THE TEXTURE MADE THEM ALMOST UNBEARABLE! I SENT THEM BACK AND GOT A FULL REFUND.

    I'll stick with my spinach pasta.

    Does it matter what a serving is if there really aren't any calories at all in them????

    In general, I love any Japanese food ^^ I'll have to look for these noodles. I don't think any of my recipe books from the Japanese supermarket uses shirtaki, but I'll try searching for recipes in Japanese to see what comes up. Thanks for the post.
