Stories From Our Customers: What They’re Saying

Nothing inspires us more than hearing how CookUnity has impacted your lives. Here’s what a few of our customers shared in 2024:

“Not only did the food taste good, there was outstanding variety from several different kinds of Asian food to European food to Caribbean food to American traditional food, etc. I had to quit Factor because all their food started tasting the same. I don't have the same issue with CookUnity.” - Steve L.

“I love CookUnity. Customer service is amazing and the meals are super tasty…Definitely better than Factor!” - Syed S.

“I've tried both Factor and CookUnity and CookUnity was by far the better option for me and preferences.” - Tai K.

“We have tried a number of meal delivery companies over the last 3 years. We had recently settled on Factor 75 because we liked not having to cook and clean every night. Their food was OK, but everything sort of tasted the same, and their variety was limited. We got an Instagram ad for CookUnity and decided to try it. The variety is very impressive, and the food is so delicious and it has an appearance like it just came out of the kitchen. After two weeks of CookUnity, we cancelled our subscription with Factor75 for good.” - David H.

“Night and day difference from Factor. I hated that factor would average 400-600 calories a meal since I’m not a bird but a grown man. CookUnity taste better and has portions fo 1000-2000 calories consistently.” - Alex R.

“This is not the first meal prep service we have tried but it is the best! The convenience that addresses our allergies, great flavors and portion of the meals too.” - Rah S.

“I am just so impressed with the quality of the meals. I have tried many meal delivery services in the past, but CookUnity is by far the best. Such a joy to have in my kitchen.” - Brenda D.

“I have tried quite a few meal services, and CookUnity is by far my favorite. Every meal I've tried has been SO good, and the website is easy to navigate and filter to find meals that fit my dietary preferences. Customer Service is also awesome - I reached out with a question and got a prompt, friendly, and super helpful response!” - Kelly H.

“I have tried a lot of food services. None have compared to your meals.” - Patty M.

“This meal delivery service has the best variety, quality, and taste out of all the ones I’ve tried 5 to date. They have breakfast options which were important for me. It costs a little more but I think it’s worth it. The food packaging is eco friendly. I also love that they deliver everything in reusable insulated bags instead of big cardboard boxes that you have to breakdown and dispose. The app is easy to use and the cuisine and options are vast. Nothing is boring or bland.” - Lily

“Loving CookUnity - props to the chefs! I've been a happy CookUnity customer since early this year! I hate cooking, and DoorDash and UberEats get way too expensive. My cousin is a chef so I appreciated the chance to support local chefs. The quality of the food and variety of options are leaps and bounds better than the other weekly subscriptions, in which I've tried them all! Keep doing what you are doing CookUnity! The chefs are awesome!” - Jackie
