This came in a chinese box. It was really quick to prepare and really tasty. Ready in 2 minutes. The noodles with peanut sauce were great.

I just made this here at work for dinner. Top Ramen is blown off it's socks! it cannot even compare.i'd love to add a few sprigs of cilantro and some chopped up chicken breast. very filling, less sodium, don't have to boil water and no dehydrated veggies! can't wait to try the rest of the Trader Ming's noodle products!
I have tried the Pad Thai version of this and it is delicious. Perfect to keep in the office for a quick lunch. Full of flavor and no weird deehydrated crap.

I often have this for dinner - for $1.99, and you throw in some pieces of chicken, you have a delicious and fast dinner. Can eat it straight out of the box, no dirty dishes! I think this is better than the pad thai version, but maybe that is because I love peanut sauce. Either way, this is a great product for people on the go who need a fast dinner that is inexpensive.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the convenience and truly delicious meal that can be found in this cute little take-out shaped cartons.
The Kung Pao was a nice balance of spicy/salty/sweet with some heat , but not overwhelming. Package says 2 servings but the yield barely fills 1/3 of the misleadingly large carton.
For only $1.99 I have no complaint. I returned today to stock up on these b/c they are so convenient and satisfyin.

These noodles are good. Not great, but good. They're not a terribly exciting meal, but fast and better than Ramen.

I think I'll try eating them with some chicken and veggies, as suggested above. I can imagine them tasting quite good then.

Tried all three of the Trader Mings noodle boxes (Kung Pao, Pad Thai, and Satay) and they were just too bland for me. I was hoping for some real flavor.

I love the peanut satay. It's quick and cheap, and of course it's tasty. My only issue with it is the nutritional info - it has a lot of fat (but it's peanut sauce, so of course) and a ton of sodium. Luckily I have naturally low cholesterol and blood pressure so I don't really have to worry. The Pad Thai version is great too - higher carb content (I'm diabetic so I watch for that) but also lower fat content. So next time you see these, buy a box, you only waste $2 if you don't like it.
in your pantry you can suffer through them, but they are far from good. the sauce is totally unremarkable, and the noodles taste like they've been in that vacuum pack for quite a while...
as you eat them. I got all three varieties (satay, pad thai and kung pao) because they were easy, cheap, looked good and I loved the boxes. Wow, I was SO disappointed. The noodles smell weird (think play-do), the sauces are too sweet and artificial tasting and the whole thing together just has a really weird and pretty gross texture. Will definitely not be buying these again and the only reason I finished them up is b/c I'm one of THOSE - that just can't throw food away. Seriously, with each bite it's harder to continue eating and it's now been 10 minutes since finishing and I'm got the worst taste in my mouth. Just glad they're gone. And at least I'm full.
