Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)

1 stars of rating2 stars of rating3 stars of rating4 stars of rating5 stars of rating

Came with over cooked soggy asparagus, a mayonnaise-y looking sauce on the meat not in the picture of the food, and over cooked well done steak.

Miso Sesame Salmon

This was good, but the green beans were raw so when you heated up the salmon you would have had to cook it to oblivion to make sure they were also cooked. Also got like 3 carrots. Sauce was the star.
