Kind of tasteless
I was actually really excited to try these because I like jack fruit as a meat replacement. They smelled really good, and they actually looked really pretty even from frozen. However, when you pan fry them, you can tell that there's something weird about the skin - it gets "clunky" and sticks to the pan (maybe because it's gluten free?). It also took me twice the time to cook it as recommended on the box. If you look at the photo on the packaging, it clearly does not look the same as my picture. It's not even the same dumpling, and the ones on the photo are regular gyoza wrappers.
I was let down by the taste, as they were pretty tasteless. I probably wouldn't purchase these again.

Incredibly versatile!
I had a great time experimenting with this product, making four different versions: regular, teriyaki, honey garlic, and soy sauce. I wanted to see how versatile it was, and it definitely delivered! The texture was surprisingly spot-on—chewy, satisfying, and nothing like I expected from a fully vegan option. It really holds up in different sauces, which makes it easy to customize for different tastes.
What I love most is how clean the ingredients are—zero cholesterol, no trans fats, rich in fibre, and completely free from soy, gluten, sugar, and sulphites. It’s a solid option for anyone with dietary restrictions or just looking for a wholesome plant-based choice.
That said, I did find it had a bit of a spicy kick on its own, which might not be for everyone. But once mixed into sauces, the heat balanced out beautifully. It’s quick to prepare, great for a weeknight meal.
If you're looking for a versatile, healthy, and surprisingly hearty vegan protein, this is worth a try!

Doesn’t taste like it’s meatless
For the dumplings I steamed them and I also tried air frying it too.
This doesn’t taste like it’s meatless. I gave it to my mom to try and she said it taste like chicken. There’s also a slight spice to it. I’m not particularly fond of the taste but it’s okay. Not sure if I’d buy it again though
