Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
Curry was saltier than usual, and the chicken was very tough and rubbery. It looked fine and was great the past few times we've ordered it, but this time it tasted really terrible.

Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp
i added fried chili oil because it was bland to me. Could use less rice and some veggies

Miso Sesame Salmon
Spicy compared to last week, my son struggled eating it when he ate the whole plate last week. Inconsistency makes me nervous - this is only my second week of deliveries.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
The sauce flavor is what saved this one. We’ve gotten it before but it’s hit or miss. The steak is way over cooked this time. Very dry.

Grilled Chicken Teriyaki
Sauce is great! I also love broccolini and the chicken was well cooked, but it was all dark meat and really fatty
