Review: McDonald's HUNTR/X Meal

The McDonald's HUNTR/X Meal.

McDonald's HUNTR/X Meal is a limited-time combo meal with a KPop Demon Hunters theme that includes a 10-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, Ramyeon McShaker Fries, a medium fountain drink, and a collectible card.

The meal cost me $12.19.

Various themed packaging of the McDonald's HUNTR/X Meal.

The meal comes in a special box that's basically an oversized Happy Meal box. It features both HUNTR/X and Saja Boy graphics, so I'm guessing the same box is used for the special breakfast combo as well.

The Chicken McNuggets box included themed graphics on the outside and inside:

The new items in the combo box (and the focus of this review) are the Demon Sauce and Ramyeon McShaker Fries.

I asked for both Hunter Sauce (a sweet chili sauce) and Demon Sauce (a new mustard sauce) for the McNuggets, but they ended up giving me two Demon Sauces.

The Demon Sauce was purple in color. It's not a fruit sauce, though, and tasted like a mix of honey mustard and mayo with a light-to-medium dose of spicy heat. It was good, but not great. While the color hits the KPop Demon Hunter, the flavor was pretty run-of-the-mill. I guess if you've been missing Hot Mustard, Demon Sauce is similar, but sweeter.

The Ramyeon McShaker Fries includes a medium order of McDonald's Fries, a seasoning packet, and a pouch to shake them together.

The seasoning was yellow flecked with green bits and sesame seeds. I had to break up some lumps, but it coated the fries well.

As for how it tasted, there was a savory seasoned quality to it. However, it didn't taste like any instant ramen or ramyeon seasoning that I've ever eaten. It lacked meatiness and heat. You'd probably be better off grabbing the seasoning packet of your favorite ramyeon (or ramen) and shaking it on the fries.

Between the Demon Sauce and the Ramyeon McShaker Fries, I liked the Demon Sauce better, as the Ramyeon McShaker seasoning was just okay for me. I was expecting more in the way of Korean flavors in McDonald's HUNTR/X Meal, given the theme, but it was sadly lacking in that department. The packaging was really nice, though.
