BEN'S ORIGINAL Street Food Fried Rice with Vegetables, Prepared Entrée, Microwavable Heat-&-Eat Bowl in 90 Seconds, 9 oz​ (Pack of 6)

This product was tailor-made for my taste. I am crazy about gumbo (and okra in particular), but I don't often have the time to whip up a batch on my own. Okra-based products are rare in grocery stores near me, and I haven't ever found a canned gumbo product that really appealed to me. Ben's Street Food Gumbo broke the mold, and I try to keep some on hand all the time. It's a little spicy, but not too spicy for me. It costs more than some microwave meals, but a good bowl of gumbo is worth it once in a while. My only complaint is that the adhesive holding the sealing film to the bowl doesn't age well, with older packs sometimes refusing to open under moderate tugs. This gumbo rarely gets old enough at my house to be a problem.

Good flavor. It's NOT at all spicy, but I do like a good gumbo. This is NOT authentic you will find in LA's Terrebonne Parish, or NOLA, but it's still really good. It has a decent amount of fiber, but more protein could be added, as 7 grams protein is on the low side. These are great when I'm hungry but don't want to cook in this humidity.

This is worst rice dish I've ever had in my life. There should be laws requiring spicy hot things to be labelled. Hiding it to make people buy it thinking they're getting what is claimed when it's not what is claimed, is illegal false advertising. The ingredient list and description indicate a rice dish with a soy flavor and vegetables. I didn't expect the same consistency as real fried rice given the type of container it's in. But this is mexican spicy hot that tastes horrible and is completely not edible. This is nasty garbage that shouldn't even be sold, but should at least be marked as spicy hot. Two bites and my mouth is on fire and in pain, and I have a horrible migraine from it as well. I doubt it's even returnable having opened one of them and it being food.

I like Bens rice and by it often. I also like rice and beans and Mexican foods that I enjoyed in Texas, But I got used to milder spices in Lubbock and even when I lived in Laredo. This bowl was filled with good rice and beans. But hotter than I like. Pain is not a flavor for me. If you like heat, this will be just fine. The quality is excellent. I added some sour cream and some salad dressing and that helped. But not enough for me to buy more. I may try the other versions.

Love it for a quick lunch

Not impressed with the texture of flavor. Probably won’t purchase again.

I've gotten this before and loved it. But this order? I opened one and it was DARK BROWN. Not anything like the picture or what I've eaten before. I still tried it, one bite and it was very bitter. I won't buy again.

Great price and great taste
