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.

Miso Sesame Salmon
Very good, especially salmon. I also liked the sliced beans & carrots combo, would like to see it more often in other dishes too. Sesame sauce was very tasty, could use more to put on rice too!

Roasted Teriyaki Salmon
An all time favorite bursting with umami perfection! Rich teriyaki pairs with a generous portion of salmon complimented with steamed brown rice, braised carrots, and brussel sprouts. Outstanding! A+++
