Roasted Teriyaki Salmon
Below average taste to me. The fish skin is covered in scales.

Hamburg Steak with Mushroom Gravy
not one drop of gravy on the meal. large pieces of mushrooms so hard that I couldn't even cut with a fork. usually one of my favorite meals. Definitely not this time.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
Meat was very tough and thinner pieces would probably help

Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
Needs sauce. Could use more chicken.

Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
This was almost as good as the Japanese Curry place down the street. Definitely a reorder on this one.

Coconut Red Curry & Roasted Salmon
Rice was way overcooked- it was mushy. The curry sauce was good.

Udon Noodle Soup with Shrimp
Everything was cooked well, but this dish could benefit from way more veggies and flavor. I added my own spinach and had to add my own Ponzu sauce and Sriracha I luckily had in my fridge, and salt.

Classic Beef Bibimbap
