Very tasty - however the servings are more "appetizer" sized. If you have room in your sodium count for the day I would double the recipe. I didn't have any trouble finding the 5 Spice or the Hoisin sauce at our local grocery store. My daughter said that these wraps taste as good as the one's you get at Pei Wei. :)
