Review: Jack in the Box - Egg Roll

Out of all the major food chains, Jack in the Box probably offers the most variety. They can dish up a reasonable facsimile of whatever it is you're craving, from their mainstay of burgers and fries to tacos to egg rolls?! Yup. Egg Rolls. Jack in the Box serves Chinese-style Egg Rolls fried crispy and filled with diced pork, cabbage, celery, carrots, and onions with sweet and sour sauce to dip it in.

They're priced at $1.29 each or $3.39 for three. However, if the "3 for $3" promotion is still running in your area, it is available as a selection.

Just an FYI, I'm not a fan of Chinese-style egg rolls in general. Most Chinese restaurants don't even serve them and when they do, the egg rolls seem to be inevitably filled with mostly cabbage and bits of every thing else. The result is mostly tasteless. Which is why Jack in the Box's Egg Rolls surprised me.

It was fried fresh to order and was very crunchy as a result. There was also plenty of juicy diced pork inside to complement the cabbage and other vegetables. The Egg Roll was also neutral enough to take on sweet and sour sauce, which it went well with. It was, however, on the small side for $1.29 but I wouldn't say unreasonably so. All in all, probably the best Chinese-style egg roll I've had (I've had much better Vietnamese-style ones though). If you actually like Chinese-style egg rolls, definitely give it a try.
