Appetitos Crab Rangoon

EDITOR’S NOTE: This review is from 2025. Aldi is selling these again the week of January 21st, 2026, for $3.79. 

My family loves takeout from our favorite Chinese restaurant around the corner. But when we can’t have takeout, we will settle for grocery store Chinese-style food. Aldi sells several types as year-round Regular Buys, including mandarin orange chicken, General Tso’s chicken, egg rolls, lo mein, stir fries, and chicken fried rice. Aldi also rotates several other types of takeout-style food onto its shelves at various times of year, and I make sure to stock up.

One recent item I picked up was crab rangoon, a classic takeout favorite. Aldi used to sell crab rangoon under its Fusia Asian Inspirations house brand, but now it’s sold under the store’s Appetitos house brand.

Appetitos Crab Rangoon cost $3.79 for a 6-ounce box in 2026. They were $3.69 in 2025. The price is up from when we paid $2.49 for a 6.07-ounce box when we first reviewed Aldi crab rangoon in 2021.

These are an Aldi Find, which means they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store should receive one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone until whenever Aldi decides to bring them back. Aldi won’t ship them to you either if they’re out of stock at your local store.

The box describes these as a “crispy wonton wrapper with a cream cheese crab filling.”

If you’re watching out for allergens, these contain wheat, milk, crustaceans (crab, lobster), fish (pollock, Pacific whiting), egg, and soy.

One box has two 3-piece servings. One serving has 240 calories, 10 grams of total fat (13% DV), 3.5 grams of saturated fat (18% DV), 480 mg of sodium (21% DV), 31 grams of total carbohydrates (11% DV), 1 gram of dietary fiber (4% DV), 4 grams of total sugars, 3 grams of added sugars (6% DV), and 7 grams of protein.

The crab rangoon can be heated in a conventional oven or air fryer.

To bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place frozen pieces one inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place on the center rack in the oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until fully cooked.

To air fry, preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Place frozen pieces in a single layer half an inch apart in the air fryer tray. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until fully cooked.

I cooked these in my air fryer, and it took about 8 minutes. You’ll want to keep an eye on them if you’re air frying them, since the instructions give a wide time range of 5-10 minutes.

These aren’t really like restaurant crab rangoon, but they’re good in their own right. My family always happily eats these and we never have any left over. I also feel like crab rangoon from Aldi have gotten better over the years, as these are an improvement over some we tried several years ago.

The Verdict:

Fusia Asian Inspirations Crab Rangoon feature cream cheese and small bits of crab meat in a crisp outer shell. They don’t taste like what you’d get at a restaurant, but if you set aside that expectation, they’re pretty good.
