Simulate reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Convincing chickenlike flavor profile
- Crispy, satisfying breaded coating
- Crowd‑pleasing, omnivore‑approved nuggets
- Spicy variety with robust kick
- Occasionally dry interior texture
- Original flavor sometimes bland
- Highly processed ingredient list
- Inconsistent, spongy interior texture
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.

I love these!! I've only tried the spicy nuggs but I've gone through boxes of it. So great and easy to make in the airfryer. They're crispy, and they have more protein than the meat based alternative. Honestly worth the try!

Nothingggg love these!
this is not a replacement for traditional chicken nuggets

the nuggets are dry no matter how i make them (I've tried with a microwave, microwave oven, and air fryer). the texture comes close to that of meat but for the price it's not worth it.
Delicious in the air fryer! I've never tried the spicy but I'm guessing they would be even better since the regular definitely needs a dip/sauce.

These are great for texture and nostalgia – if you're looking for "nuggs" then this fits the bill. I like having a box in my freezer for the occasional "treat". It's not amazing for flavor or natural ingredients, obviously. The spicy version is actually spicy, which I appreciate.
Feedback
I feel like the packaging could use some improvements – I'd rather it be a smaller box that's more densely packed.
These are amazing. High quality. The spicy ones are as good as Wendy’s.

As a vegan I love trying new plant-based products, and I thought these were really good. I put them in the air fryer to get them extra crispy, and though I wish they had a little bit more flavor, I was impressed with the texture. Ingredients are obviously very processed but that's easy to expect with meat alternatives
Feedback
I only wish they had more flavor to them..compared to impossible chicken, these are close but not quite as good.
SO GOOD. These nuggets are incredible. I’d say they are similar to McDonald’s nuggets with their breading and texture. I always have these stocked in my freezer! Their packaging and website are also really fun and I look forward to trying their Dino nuggets.
Feedback
They stopped selling them at Costco. I would love it if they could bring it back and partner with them.
I tried these before I had the Impossible nuggets, and I honestly like Nuggs better. Simulate is a great company and their products taste amazing. Definitely the closest option to taste like real chicken nuggets.
wanted to love it but it fell short. impossible nuggets are much better imo

texture is off?
I tried the spicy nuggs. They were underwhelming and the texture just wasn’t right for me.
Ive only tried the regular and dinosaur version of these nuggets but they’re pretty good! I think there’s other brands that I favor more but this brand has become more accessible in a variety of stores which is great.
Feedback
I don’t see any room for improvement for now.
I've tried many, many fake chicken or chick'n nuggets in my 15+ years of vegetarianism. These were pretty good! I'm not sure if they are worth it for the price. I tried both the spicy flavor and the original.
Feedback
There's a slightly sour aftertaste on the spicy nuggets that I didn't particularly enjoy.

I thought these tasted great and were a better alternative to standard chicken nuggets. Our kids liked them just as well too!
I'm not vegan but I try to limit my meat intake. I tried this and gotta say it's pretty close! Also love the box design lol
Not a fan, but potentially great for kids
I like these a lot actually. They are not my favorite plant-based "chicken" but I'd definitely buy again. I am eager to see if they create future "chicken" products.

More product offerings
Love the brand and idea

Taste is bad
Honestly cannot tell that these are plant-based nuggets and perhaps taste better than the real thing! Definitely a strong alternative and so easy to pop into an air-fryer

I'm very impressed with the taste and texture of the nuggets. Also impressed with the amount of protein they contain. Will definitely purchase again. I love the packaging as well.
These are fine.
