EDITOR’S NOTE: Read our roundup of some of the takeout-style food options at Aldi here.
Aldi sells a variety of Asian-inspired dishes, with some being better imitations of takeout-style food than others. My family, for instance, loves Aldi’s General Tso’s chicken and orange chicken. But to serve it right, you have to have other side dishes such as rice, pot stickers, lo mein, crab rangoon, or classic egg rolls.
If it’s egg rolls you want, Aldi sells egg rolls.
Fusia Asian Inspirations Chicken Egg Rolls or Pork Egg Rolls cost $2.39 for a 12.55-ounce box at the time of publication. Each box has four egg rolls, with sweet and sour sauce packets included, which comes out to about 60 cents per egg roll.
These are a Regular Buy, which means you can find them all year at Aldi. The boxes describe them as either pork or white meat chicken with “crisp vegetables and spices in an egg roll wrapper.”
If you’re avoiding allergens, both varieties of these egg rolls have soy and wheat.
These are sold frozen and should be kept frozen until ready to cook. They can be baked, microwaved, or fried. Either way, they should be heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
To bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the egg rolls and sauce packet from their plastic film. Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet on the center oven rack and bake for 10-12 minutes. Then turn the egg rolls over and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Let stand 1-2 minutes after baking.
To microwave, remove the egg rolls and sauce packet from their plastic film. Place the egg rolls on a microwave-safe plate and heat one frozen egg roll on high for 1 minute, adding 45 seconds for each additional egg roll. Let stand 1-2 minutes after cooking.
To fry, preheat the oil in the deep fryer to 350 degrees. Remove the egg rolls and sauce packet from their plastic film. Fry the egg rolls for 7-8 minutes. Let stand 1-2 minutes after cooking.
Egg rolls after going through the air fryer.
I used to bake these in a conventional oven, but after we bought this air fryer a few years ago, I now prepare them in the air fryer every time. That leaves my oven free for things like General Tso’s chicken or orange chicken. To air fry these, put them in at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then shake and cook them for an additional 8-10 minutes. They come out crispy every time.
An egg roll with General Tso’s chicken, chicken fried rice, and pot stickers, all from Aldi.
These aren’t as good as restaurant egg rolls — and it’s not easy to find any kind of grocery store egg rolls that are as good as takeout. These are all right but nothing really special. We like to dip them in soy sauce, and one family member dips them in Ranch, which makes them taste surprisingly good.

The Verdict:
Fusia Asian Inspirations Chicken Egg Rolls and Pork Egg Rolls can be paired with some of Aldi’s other takeout-style foods such as General Tso’s chicken or orange chicken. They’re not as good as what you’d get from a restaurant, but they’re not terrible either.
Hubby and I absolutely LOVE the chicken egg rolls. He likes them microwaved for a softer crust. I heat them in the toaster oven for the crispy texture I enjoy. While they are not the same as restaurant take-out, they’re better for my family because they are so much less greasy and delightfully available via our regular Aldi shopping trip. They are definitely worth a try. Another reason to LOVE Aldis!
They are better than alot of some take outs near me, especially if you air fry them with a different sauce.
Like your own store bought sweet chili sauce.
I was also wondering why my box says it’s 120 calories and 2 total fat grams per piece are so different from your box.
Saying 170 and 5 total fg per egg roll. Very interesting
It’s possible the recipe has been tweaked, which Aldi is known to do sometimes with various products. I’ll try to take a look at the nutrition information on the current boxes the next time I make an Aldi run. https://www.aldireviewer.com/does-aldi-tweak-its-products/
they are very good for store bought eggrolls
It’s been SO LONG since I’ve had good Chinese takeout. Eggrolls especially disappoint. When we have Chinese takeout, that means stopping at Aldis on the way home from work. Chicken Lo Mein, General Tso’s Chicken, Potstickers, and Eggrolls are all great — though sometimes elusive. I’m going to try the won ton soup mentioned in another review.
Apparently, these egg rolls no longer come with the sauce packets. We will not be buying these again.
I just bought some and they came with packets.
There was no sweet and sour sauce in ours just purchased recently Dec 2021 I guess like everyone else they are cutting corners.
