Tasted a bit fishy (wonder why), green beans were uncooked and hard, won't be getting again.

I like the dish, the flavor was bold but slightly too salty. Portion size was good. I like the Stacy Berang version more because her was spicy this was not spicy. So it personal preference

Chef: Way to heavy handed on fish sauce and sodium. I’m not a picky person and this was awful.
