Good, but I'm not fond of one of the spices (not sure which spice since I don't know the recipe).

We thought it was okay, with the potential to be good. If the noodles were left out and then cooked at the time of the sauce reheat, I think it could be very good. Our noodles got all mushy and broken up during the reheat process.
