I have ordered from here plenty of times. The food is always fresh and good sized portions. I just received my order via Uber eats and was very disappointed this time around. The portion size was extremely small the thinnest layer of rice I payed for extra meat which I don't believe I received. Food was good but was done in about 6 bites literally. The boz wasn't even half way full too the top. Disappointing because now I still have to order more food.

I thought this was an actual restaurant but it’s part of a ghost kitchen or something. I got the chicken bowl and idk if it’s just the chicken I got but it tasted old, not fresh. The veggies were also tasting some what frozen.This reminded me of something I could get from yoshinoya or something. Not what I was expecting, kind of dissatisfied and disappointed.
