It looks like family size in the bag, but we made this a lunch-for-one, even though it makes a very heaping bowlfull. Just pop this in a pan and wait 10 minutes for...some mediocre "lo mein". I was worried it would be oversauced, but actually there isn't much sauce once it's done. Which is better than too much sauce, but it still wasn't great. There isn't a lot of flavor, just some mild soy/sesame/saltiness on what are more like linguine than lo-mein noodles. The veg are basically a non-entity, with just some carrots, onions, and maybe 1 bok choy bit. I wish there were no onions (what lo mein has onions?!) but the carrots are fine. The beef is tender, but very "frozen meal beef" flavored. It's decent and not too many calories, and I think it's better than microwave chow mein type meals due to the lower sauce ratio -- but definitely not great, and not very Chinese-y.
Overall
Cost: 5/10 (About 5$ at Giant)
Taste: 6/10
