needed more beef. flavor was great.

Classic Kung Pao Fish
Breaded fish was extremely bland even with sauce. Brown rice was good, carrots ok, but microwaved zucchini & onions just wet & soggy, need to use something crisper, less water-based.

Roasted Teriyaki Salmon
The salmon was perfect!
Paula Nuspl · 08/03/25
Braised Short Ribs (Galbi Jjim)
So bland, not even adding salt or hot sauce could make it good. The short rib itself had a (little) bit of flavor, but all the vegetables were tasteless and dry.

Roasted Teriyaki Salmon
WHY WAS IT SO SPICY WE COULDN'T EAT IT? IT WASN'T MARKED AS SPICY. Yes I'm yelling, this is absurd.
