Indulge in Comfort Food with Crofton Ceramic Noodle Bowls at Aldi

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2026.
When I was a kid, I had a few favorite things I loved eating at home for lunch. On days when I wasn’t at school and relegated to eating cafeteria fare, I often enjoyed a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup or New England clam chowder. Or, I loved eating ramen noodles. I preferred the shrimp flavor, even if it doesn’t really taste much like shrimp.
I still like ramen, and so does my entire family. We don’t eat it often, but it’s nice to keep some packages in the pantry, especially for times when we’re sick and the noodles and hot broth with steam are comforting. Ramen is also good to keep around in case of power outages because we can prepare it on our gas stove or even make it outdoors on our portable camp stove.
We usually eat our ramen in regular soup or cereal bowls, and that works fine. However, the latest Aldi ad indicates the grocer is selling specialty ceramic noodle bowls made just for serving this popular comfort food. Aldi is selling the bowls alongside a variety of other kitchen products with an Asian theme, including a stir fry wok, a rice cooker, and some Asian knife sets. At the same time, Aldi also is selling some serving platters, sauce dishes, utensils, and other products that match the noodle bowls.
These cute little noodle bowls include chopsticks and feature a custom hole in the upper rim designed to hold the chopsticks when they aren’t in use. Keep reading for more information about the bowls.
What We Know:
The Crofton Ceramic Noodle Bowl cost $4.99 each in January of 2026. That’s the same price they were in 2025 and 2023. That’s cheaper than noodle bowls I found on Amazon. The designs and colors on these bowls rival some more expensive ramen bowls I found on Wayfair as well.
This bowl is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store receives one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back at some point. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that are not in stock at your local store.
These are scheduled to be in stores starting January 21st, 2026.
Crofton is not a company. It’s the private label Aldi uses for all kinds of kitchen products such as serving trays, filtration pitchers, barware sets, and more. Aldi sources those products from different suppliers.
Here’s more information, according to Aldi:
- Includes chopsticks
- Bowl has a 21-oz. capacity
- Bowl is dishwasher- and microwave-safe
- Handwash the chopsticks
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t tried these ramen noodle bowls yet, so we don’t know how well they work or how durable they are. We write open threads so readers can talk about Aldi products.
Have you bought these Crofton Ceramic Noodle Bowls? Tell us what you think of them in the comments below.
Just bought two of the blue flower Ramen bowls and a pack of the four small condiment dishes. They seem well made. However the condiment dishes (also priced at $4.99) seem a bit pricy. My wife complained because I bought these specialized bowls when we already have a ton of other bowls. But she’s already used one for a big bowl of cereal!
Been using these bowls for a couple of weeks now for pho and ramen. The only issues that I have are that the bowls are rather deep but don’t seem to hold as much of the soup that I typically make for lunch. If I fill it with all the soup liquid, it’s close to the chop stick hole in the side of the bowl. They might be better if they were and inch or two wider because it seems difficult to fully empty the bowls and I even have special 6.5″ long pho/ramen spoons.
