I have only ever had restaurant General Tao Chicken so this was quite a change. The sauce was runnier, paler, and all I could taste was sugar with brown sugar being the third ingredient. The spice was there as an afterthought, with the ginger in it coming through. If you are used to the store-bought formula then it's not a bad product. Each package comes with two servings of chicken and sauce, so you can be creative with how you eat it. I poured mine over rice. Overall, I was expecting a thicker, spicier Tao so it was a bit of a disappointment and the amount of sweetness I found overwhelming.
