Definitely plan on ordering these again!

Bad. I ordered two, don’t even want to open this second one. Way too salty, not spicy, and the flavor is not right. Will not order again.
LawrenceXiao
Really safely to taste.
wendy
This cold noodles is so delicious! I really regret ordering two copies! Apart from being salty, there is no garlic flavor, not enough sourness and spicyness, and you can’t even taste the taste of sesame sauce. It’s really outrageous. The noodles are not cold noodles. The noodles are very similar to Cantonese noodles. To me, they are just messy and they sell this. I also kindly ask other people who have tried this kind of cold noodles not to exaggerate and say that it is delicious. It is simply a lie.

I have repurchased Gulepiao spicy cold noodles several times. It is spicy and appetizing. It is suitable for those who don’t want to start a meal when the heat wave hits. I think the portion is very generous and the sauce is very fragrant and delicious. I will continue to repurchase it.

Fortunately it's not very spicy. Divide it into two meals and add celery and peanuts. You can buy it next time when the price is reduced.
Maggie
It’s my first time buying this. The taste is a bit spicy, the quantity is relatively small, and each piece is small and broken. I only gave it three stars, but the rating above has been set to five stars and cannot be changed!

There are four in a portion, they are a good size and taste good.

It’s really nice, red bean is smooth, mochi is soft. You will need to microwave it for 20 second if it’s too hard/cold. The box has an instruction how to warm it up .
Sarah Chan
I got 6 mochis last time, but didn’t realize they’ve switched to selling only 4 now. Just a heads-up for everyone!

One order of four, not too sweet, I like it.

It had a subtle sweetness and the coconut and bean paste went well together, making it delicious.

Tahoe
Tofu fresh and delicious sauce yummy. Like
Grace
The ingredients are already cut, which is very convenient. The taste is a little light. Next time, I will season and thicken it myself.
Cora
Online shopping pictures - more tofu than vegetables. Reality reception - more vegetables than tofu. But considering the quantity, simply reheating it and adding the included sauce makes it a reasonable dish.
GogoBuy
The taste is pretty good, but the ingredients are not fresh enough and lack the bean and meat flavor. It is a good choice when you are greedy but lazy.
