Spicy Strips - Spicy Gluten Latiao, Chinese Special Casual Snack Food, Made From Wheat / Chili / Spice, Low Sugar and Low Calories, Best Vegan, 52g (Pack of 2)

These are SPICY. Lemme start with that. I can usually handle a good bit of spice since I frequently eat Asian dishes and snacks but my god these are awful. My local Asian store was out of Latiao as was I and I LOVE it so I figured I’d try some off here. The bags are smaller than I’m used to so I was sad off the bat, but immediately upon opening, I’m met with this gross smell that was very off putting. These don’t smell or taste like any of the six brands I’ve had or am used to. Spice aside, the flavor would make me not eat it either. But I couldn’t even finish a single stick because of the spice!! I’m so sad :( these are going straight to the trash. These are, however, actual Latiao. The texture itself is what it’s supposed to be, the sticks are thicker than normal but it’s still chewy and explodes with the greasy flavor as it’s meant to. Just be wary of this brand! I’d rate it nothing if possible since I’ve basically just wasted money.

A lot of negative reviews were right about this product. I really wanted to experience these after seeing them in those Chinese candy store videos, so I bought them regardless. They smell odd, but nothing too potent. They're VERY spicy, but I have always enjoyed spice. Rather than that they're quite bland. They have a very strange texture, being very, very oily and chewy. Still, product was exactly as advertised and I enjoyed them, so it'd feel unfair to leave a bad review.

It was horrendous and did not have the ideal spicy snack taste for me. Its just not my fancy for someone going up in an African American household. Furthermore, the texture felt like chewing the Styrofoam in delivery packages while its aroma killed me since it had a herbal smell that did not smell like food. Overall, it may be that I am not suited for it since I took one bite but it does have value for your money since they gave plenty of small packs. Overall, its spiciness is lacking while its texture and smell degrade its experience.

My daughter decided she wanted to try these. Why? No idea, but I bought a pack. First, they look absolutely nothing like the picture. They’re very small, thin, and hard. They are incredibly spicy, but not in a good way. There’s a very strange smell, taste and aftertaste that’s hard to place and very hard to get rid of. My daughter has tried everything to make them edible. She has wiped them down and soaked them to try and get some of the taste/smell out. But, there’s no way she or anyone else in the house are going to eat these things. A total waste of money and false advertising with the picture.

Strong sesame odor and spice- they're definitely spicy so I'd be careful when you swallow. Flavor kind of reminds me of a hot pot doused in sesame oil. Not terrible but not great either.
