Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
Chicken katsu and curry are two of my favorite foods. I really liked Chef Choi’s but the last couple times I’ve gotten it, the curry tasted way saltier than usual. Yuck. Less salt and more rice please

Coconut Red Curry & Roasted Salmon
I would’ve loved a few more beans - I think I only got 4.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
Steak cooked a little too well prior to packaging, so very, very well done once reheated to eat.
