Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The sauce combination is bold and satisfying, though many found it too sweet; using half the sweet soy glaze keeps the savory-sweet balance in check 🍲. Some also felt the ginger was overpowering — start with less if you're sensitive to it.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to pull together, with minimal cleanup and clear steps that work well on a busy weeknight.
  • Suggestions: Add extra vegetables like carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, or edamame to bulk up the dish and add texture. Brown the chicken before adding the coleslaw mix to keep the veggies slightly crisp, and reduce the noodle cook time slightly to avoid a mushy texture. Consider adding peanuts or water chestnuts for a satisfying crunch.
  • Leftovers: The dish tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had time to meld 🎉.

Really really like the easy prep. A great recipe. Love the spicy sweet sauce with the combination of the cabbage and the chicken and the noodles. My nine year-old granddaughter ate half of my portion!

Tasty and fast -- I love the flavor of the umami ginger sauce. I wish this had snow peas or sugar snap peas in it.

Love recipes with noodles! Great flavor with the dark chicken. Also the option of adding spicy sriracha for those of us that love the heat, but not everyone else does.

Like the dark chicken meat in this recipe. Love the lo mein noodles. Good idea for coleslaw to bring veggies.

I'm disappointed that I was sent the dark meat chicken, as I had requested the shrimp for the protein. I'm not sure if the order confirmation didn't go through or what. But I appreciated the quickness of this dish! I also only used half the sweet soy sauce because I didn't want the umami ginger sauce to be overpowered.

The flavor was great but I just wish the sauce was thicker. I might drain the chicken/cabbage mixture next time before adding the provided sauces.
