Simulate earns largely positive reviews for plant-based “Nuggs” that convincingly mimic fast‑food chicken nuggets—especially the Spicy variety—delivering crisp breading, satisfying texture, and strong crowd‑pleasing appeal across vegans and omnivores. Reviews also flag weaknesses: occasional dryness or blandness in the original flavor, inconsistent interior texture (spongy or too soft), highly processed ingredients, and reliance on air‑frying for best results, making it a great nostalgic fix but not universally loved.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I used to be obsess with these chicken nuggets! honestly so good cant taste the difference between real chicken nuggets and fake ones. only thing its kinda expensive.
Preferred fake chicken nuggies. My partner says the spicy ones are similar to Wendy's spicy chicken nugs. Goes well with dijon mustard and crinkle fries!
I’m always trying to find ways to cut down on my meat consumption, and these Nuggs make you feel like you’re eating the real thing. I pop mine in the oven for the full crispy effect and pair with dipping sauce, and it feels like a guilty chicken nugget experience. Only docking a star because they’re very hard to find in my area and I do think they need to be very crispy to give the full effect, which can take some time.
Fine but not mind blowing. Tasted only as chicken-like as other substitutes I’ve tried like Qorn and Impossible. Didn’t find the coating very tasty.
I am not a vegan/vegetarian, I got given these in a mystery grocery bag..... and now I'm weirdly hooked. They really solve that fast food chicken nugget craving, just with a little less flavor (So I recommend the spicy ones). They're such a fun snack to have on hand, and I can tell myself they're healthy since they're vegan.

One thing I would change is the quantity per box, OR make the box smaller. Either one. The box is a little large and obtrusive in the freezer for not that much product. For the price, in my opinion, there should be more of them, but I am not familiar with the ins and outs of how much this style of fake meat costs to produce. I also would love if there was a slight addition of flavor, they're a bit bland, but great with sauce. (Which, to be fair is not that far off of a normal nugget, but yeah maybe some salt)
LOVE THESE! I was really surprised on the taste of them
Surprised by this brand. Followed them for a while before making a purchase because their social media was hilarious and branding was great. I finally tried the spicy nuggs and loved them! I am not (currently) vegan, but I can say this beats a lot of vegan 'chicken' products on that I've tried. Taste and texture would pass as (actual) chicken nuggets!
Delicious, good crunch. I’m not sure they taste like chicken, but they’re very tasty. Plus the packaging is interesting. I buy these weekly.

LOVE THESE!

The spicy are TOO SPICY!!! Can't have more than a few and I love spicy typically.
Looking for plant based McDonald’s nuggs? These are for you! They don’t taste like “high quality” chicken nuggets….But they aren’t supposed to. They’re a perfect substitute for the pressed and formed fast food nuggs we all grew up eating. 😀
So delicious!!

So expensive for how little comes in a box
An okay option for those preferring a vegetarian/vegan nugget. I found the taste, texture, and nutrition subpar. Fantastic marketing, packaging, and brand experience, but the product itself falls flat.
Feedback
The nugget was weirdly too moist for my liking. They have less protein than other products in this space.

Real chicken nuggest freak me out but I love them, so Nuggs are perfect where you get the same childhood joy of a crispy nugget without real meat. The flavor and texture are great, just make sure you don't overcook them or the inside will be dry. Air frying them is great too!
I loved these nuggets. The spicey nuggets are probably the best chicken substitute I have had. I recommend these to anyone looking to try a chicken substitute for the first time or those that already have a plant based diet
I'm not vegetarian, but the packaging interested me. Easy to cook, and actually crispy! I'm huge on texture, so the inside threw me off a little, but the overall texture/experience was very similar to a chicken nugget. I think this would be a really good product for anyone wanting to dip their toes into vegetarianism, and looking for a similar product to comfort foods.

The regular flavor nuggets could use some more seasoning.
I didn’t think they were that great. I have only tried plain and they are quite flavorless. I’ll try spicy and let you know but I doubt this will replace regular ol nuggets.
I didn’t expect to like these, but they really exceeded my expectations! The box instructions are spot on for cooking them well which I appreciate. The breading texture reminds me of Mickey D’s nuggets (my fave) and the “chicken” texture is pretty nice. I had both the original and spicy. The spicy ones were a bit overpowering, so I preferred the original. I would gladly munch on these again!

Level out the spiciness of the spicy nuggets so that they are overpowering
Low key delicious, even for a non-vegan. And what a fun brand.

As a meat-eater, I was unsure what to expect. But I was very surprised at how well these simulated actual chicken. Would buy again, possibly venturing into the Spicy Nuggs next time. The branding & website are also great.
Best vegan chicken nuggets I've had, it doesn't have an off taste and I thought the texture was fine. It's definitely not exactly like chicken nuggets, it's a little more bland, but it does taste good. Definitely needs to be heated per instructions, it gets too soggy in the microwave, but putting it in an air fryer makes it crispy faster than an oven.

The brand design is fun and new, they could probably reimagine a better packaging for the box/ storage itself. They could work on the texture which seemed to be the main complaint from my friends and I.
