February 24, 2019Reviewer: Wendy in Arizona* So glad I ordered only ONE to try! They were not firm enough, tasted like dirt and it was disgusting. Will not buy any other products from manufacturer.This review is specific to Shirataki Pasta, Fettuccini

December 06, 2017Reviewer: Christina in Indiana* Oh I can't even with these. The texture is like the tentacle of a jellyfish and it has zero flavor. I made it with meat sauce and had to throw my dinner away.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 07, 2015Reviewer: A customer in Texas* I won't buy this again. With mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. It is true that there is an odor, but when rinsed completely (at least 2-3 times) and patted dry, there's no odor. However, when I prepared a dish, there were problems. First, you have to cut way back on the liquid or it's soupy. Second it basically has no taste. And finally, it causes digestive issues that I won't detail here. There should be a warning about that! I used 2 of the 4 packages but am tossing the rest. Interesting idea, but fails as a food item.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 04, 2014Reviewer: Mary in Kansas* I could not get past the odor. They smell like lye and rinsing did not remove it. I have a case of this stuff taking up space in my pantry. I lost my sense of smell following a cold about a year ago, so I may try them again if they haven't disintegrated in their packages!This review is specific to Shirataki Pasta, Fettuccini, 7 oz.

September 17, 2012Reviewer: Christina in South Carolina* If you must try the "Miracle" noodle line, only buy one first. I couldn't get past the fishy smell and taste and had to throw the rest of it out (an expensive lesson).

June 25, 2012Reviewer: Danielle in Arizona* Gross. Disgusting. I followed the cooking instructions and tried to eat it with pasta sauce. I got a few bites down but just could NOT make myself eat the rest. It is EXACTLY like chewing on worms!

September 01, 2011Reviewer: cindy in California* Pass on this one. The texture is too wierd. Tastes like you are eating worms or some kind of packing material. I will stick with different brands which are much better in texture. If not, and you are extremely overweight then maybe you can get use to these. At zero calories it's worth a try, but definately don't order more than one package your first time and be sure to follow the cooking directions.This review is specific to Shirataki Pasta, Angel Hair

June 19, 2011Reviewer: Susan in Florida* I love Netrition and am sorry to do this, but I am also in the "hate" camp. I was excited to find Miracle Noodles and bought a $40 variety package of 10 different forms of these. I tried 4-5 different types and hated the texture. I did not mind the rest - rinsing did get rid of the slightly fishy smell and cooking was fine. They just do not in any shape or form have a pasta texture/mouth feel. I wound up throwing the rest away. If you are brave and want to try it, at least just buy a pack or two as part of a bigger order so if you don't like it, you aren't wasting much or extra shipping.

2 of 4 people found the following review helpfulJune 11, 2011Reviewer: Lauren in Texas* If you've been thinking about trying Miracle Noodle, let me save you time and money- don't. When I first received Miracle Noodle in the mail, I was both excited and anxious and I prepared to make a low carb version of macaroni and cheese. I opened the package and the smell of formaldehyde wafted up singing my nose hairs. Who wants to eat something that smells like this? I decided to press on and start the "cooking process"... When you eat Miracle Noodle, it bursts in your mouth, like eating a worm. It is an odd sensation and experience to say the least. Please don't buy this product if you enjoy food. This is not your low carb pasta alternative. Just allow yourself a small portion on a cheat meal of the real thing and save yourself the horror of Miracle Noodle.

March 12, 2011Reviewer: Sasha in Texas* I've done everything I can think of to shirataki and I just don't get it, I guess. I've even tried dehydrating them. Whatever I do, I put the unpleasant, rubbery things in my mouth and just can't force myself to swallow. It's not the taste, it's absolutely the texture. It's not pasta. It's not. It's much like revoltingly waterlogged rubber bands made of Jello.

March 06, 2011Reviewer: brenda in Ohio* Would like these more if someone could tell me how to cook them so they didn't taste like I was chewing rubber bands. Didn't mind the rinsing and boiling part. I did that and sauteed with butter and parmesan cheese. Taste was good but the texture just didn't get any better. To say these were anything like pasta was wishful thinking.This review is specific to Shirataki Pasta, Angel Hair

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 04, 2011Reviewer: Abigail in Massachusetts* I was so excited when Netrition.com got this product. I wanted to try these noodles very bad and was excited to do so. However when I actually tried them I was very disappointed. I have read so many great reviews on them and I don't understand it. It is like eating a big bowl of snot. When you first open the bag it smells like dead fish. You then have to rinse the noodles and it feels like a dead fish. I was so grossed out by them I had to force myself to eat them. That being said they do absorb the flavors of whatever it is that you are cooking. My stomach was so turned by the smell however I just couldn't get myself to eat them. The texture is also like a rubbery seafood, nothing like pasta. I would actually compare the bowl of noodles to a big bowl of snot. It is so far from pasta it isn't even funny. I wish I would of liked them because they are carb and fat free, but they were horrible. If netrition does start to carry the rice I might actually try the rice and hold my breath as I rinse it off. I think smaller bits in a soup might not be so bad. I think you will either love it or hate it but I am totally in the hate camp.This review is specific to Shirataki Pasta, Angel Hair

3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 25, 2011Reviewer: Ilana in Australia* I am definitely in the "hate" camp. This is not food - I found it nauseating and actually worse than eating plastic due to the rubbery, slimy texture. I was so excited about this product before trying it - there is a reason it sounds too good to be true.
