Uncle Ben’s Special Fried Rice

Uncle bens a very old and respectable company seek some reviews from young people your rice is not very good regardless of variety please get in touch we can change taste for the new generation

We will never buy Uncle bens rice Any other brand is better than That Changing the name/ Image, now the taste is terrible, since Mars company took it over No stars !!!

It is no longer 'Uncle Ben's' it is just 'Ben's'. I do not understand how Ben's survives as an instant rice brand. The Special Fried Rice is terrible and so are the rest of the Ben's rices. If any of the varieties has a single merit it would be the Mexican rice where I would give it 2 stars. Nothing good to write about any of the product line.

Pathetic taste – The chef needs to be fired immediately for creating such recipes...he should be banned for lifetime. It is hard to imagine how this recipe got approved. Such a shame for supermarket to have them on their shelves

Tasteless & disgusting – This would be the worst rice side dish I have ever eaten, tasteless is the best description, don't waste your money, maybe just shred some cardboard instead, then at least you would get some fibre.

Disgusting pulp – Nothing like the picture on the packet. You would need an electron microscope to find any trace of vegetable. Just tasteless glutinous rice with some artificial colour. Cook some real rice, it is 100 times better. Typical Coles rubbish.

Not for human consumption – Thought this would be an easy side dish for the kids' dinner. The smell coming out of the microwave was hideous but I served it up, thinking that I was being overly sensitive. When my son arrived home 5 minutes later he exclaimed "what's that HORRIBLE smell?!". I couldn't feed it to my children without knowing if it was edible, so I took a tiny… Read more

bite. Very strong fishy flavour (despite no fish in the ingredients). I told my kids that they didn't have to eat it and we all agreed that it would be best if we removed it from the table as the smell was overwhelming. The positive is that it provided great entertainment for meal time, discussing why this would ever have been sold as food and how horrible it looked and smelt. We found the reviews here and I read them aloud much to my children's delight. They thought the descriptions were hilarious and would like to say that it is "the worse thing we've ever eaten" and "dog food would taste better than this".

I would never normally bother getting a refund on cheap food items but I've got two more packets of this and I'm angry that I've paid for something so awful. So I'm determined to go back and get my money back.

Trash – This product is absolutely horrendous. Mexican flavoured rice no, crap taste plan as hell. The black men on the packet isn’t black. Which black man is named ben? Freaking uncle sam on disguised. Even my white in-laws can season better then this pile of crap. Never again buying. I want a refund.

Disgusting – Tastes nothing like fried rice. The rice is mushy and there is an over powering taste of herbs - this is nothing like Chinese fried rice. Wouldn’t feed it to my dogs

Even the flies asked “What’s that stench” – Thinking this would be a helpful addition to a quick dinner, I purchased a few packs. I’m not sure why this was placed in the same aisle as rice, it clearly needs to be re-merchandised to the pet food aisle. The over-powering plastic, garlic-y, spicy stench, was somehow outdone by the gross, bland, chemical flavour. My suggestion is to walk past this product, and never, ever look back. Absolutely disgusting.

satay chicken – The satay chicken and rice tasted like chook poo, flavourless and a waste of money! I could have done a better job cooking a similar product by doing it myself!

If it weren't for the taste, smell and appearance this would be great!! – I'm at a loss as to how they achieved it, but the smell when cooking was remarkably similar to a dirty nappy. Smells can sometimes be deceiving but in this case not - words can't describe the level of discomfort felt while attempting to digest this. One mouthful which was soon in the bin was enough to justify tossing the rest. The recent time spent appeasing the PC crowd would have been much better spent on their products!!

I only tasted dissapointment – So bad. Like really bad. Avoid unless you hate yourself. This is an affront to anything remotely related to rice and believe this could be the actual reason for the current trade war between China and the us

Disgusting – Bought some Uncle Bens Special Fried Rice and just made it for snack in the microwave. It is like porridge - but porridge at least has some flavour. This product has no discernable taste (except something awful and unidentifiable) - even rice - except a lingering of garlic. Could not eat it, nor would my usually non-fussy dogs touch it either.

Highly disappointing – as mentioned below i was expecting some taleaway similar flavour ... WRONG! wow it was bland and smelt funny so bad. my mate also had the jasmin rice with herbs flavour shocking, and more all there range of these are hopeless. epic fail Uncle benny's.

Disgusting – Only brought because they were on special as I usually just get homebrand as it's really good. What a mistake that was! Most disgusting rice I have ever had. I brought a few different flavours and they are all as bad as the other. I don't even know where to begin with what they taste like, 2 week old mouldy bread maybe? I don't recommend this product as it leaves a foul taste in your mouth after you have spat it back out

Tasteless – Purchased 2 packets from woolworths. Followed directions to the letter. Tasted like heated cardboard. Had to add soy sauce and garlic to get any flavor. Still couldnt eat it all not worth the cost

Revolting – Tried this 90 second fried rice, thinking it would be a simple meal at work, following instructions to a T. Had one mouthful. Tasted like cardboard with a chemical aftertaste. Added some chicken salt, hoping to add some flavour, with no success (just tastes like salty cardboard). Ended up in the bin. Had to crack open a can of Spam to get rid of the taste. Would have been better to go to a Chinese restaurant and buy proper special fried rice.
