The flavor of this roast wasn't what we were looking for. Even my kids, who usually devour pork and ANYTHING Asian, wouldn't touch it. Not a winner for us.

Good roast but it did take longer to cook than specified. Wasn't sure what bean sauce was so I used black bean sauce. Good flavour and easy to prepare. Thanks for the recipe

Very good. I used 4 pork tenderloins (about 5 pounds in all) and marinated longer than 2 hours. Everyone enjoyed it. The pork was tender and delicious. I'm going to use the leftovers for pork fried rice. Yum..
