Chicken was chewy

While the lobster was good, risotto is supposed to be creamy and soft. Need to rename this to lobster and rice.

Really like this, the chicken wasn't dry and I expected that. The flavors blended well.

Automatically ordered by CookUnity. I would never order this myself and didn't particularly enjoy.

Mushy veg and dry meat, but decent.

I really disliked this. There was too much broccoli, and it was almost crunchy. The cheese was grainy, and there wasn't much egg in it. The potatoes were just ok. I threw it away after several bites.
