# QSR Brand Ramen Meals Jack in the Box Just Unveiled Its New Crispy Chicken Ramen Combo By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2024-09-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-chicken-ramen-combo References: [fastfoodclub](https://www.fastfoodclub.com/p/a-new-twist-on-ramen-jack-in-the-boxs-crispy-chicken-combo-revealed/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/snackolator/p/DAOhsG-pn5J/?hl=en)  [Jack in the Box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauced-loaded-chicken-noodle-burrito) wants to help you officially welcome soup season with the debut of its new Crispy Chicken Ramen Combo. While Jack in the Box is better known for its burgers, [curly fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-seasoned-curly-fries), and other American comfort foods, its latest menu addition draws inspiration from a staple of Japanese cuisine. The brand's new Crispy Chicken Ramen Combo combines one of Jack in the Box's signature [crispy chicken strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-spicy-chicken-strips) with a savory chicken-flavored ramen soup. While certainly not like the ramen you'd find in Japan, this Americanized fast food ramen is sure to be a hit among those looking for something warm and comforting, but also familiar. The new Crispy Chicken Ramen Combo is currently available from Jack in the Box locations in San Diego, California.
