Beef Bulgogi Pilaf
tastes good but would have enjoyed a better ratio of beef to pilaf

Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
Used to be a favorite, but seems to have taken a huge hit to quality. The chicken is dry and rubbery where once it was moist and delicious. Curry was perfect, now super salty.

Korean BBQ Flank Steak Salad
Beef was very tough and overcooked. Radishes were a weird addition. Beens were tough. Needed more dressing. I had to add a tone of salt and extra vinegar to make it edible.
