I really enjoyed the Chicken Teriyaki. Although the portion is on the smaller side, the quality in general of the meal was high. I also got the Takoyaki but did not enjoy it unfortunately. It was really dry and came without any toppings - no mayo, no tonkatsu sauce. It made me extremely disappointed as I was actually looking forward to having one of my favorite comfort foods, especially since the pictures on Deliveroo seemed promising.

Edit on 28th November 2022: changed 3 stars to 2 stars, added a new review above the old one and added 2 more photos. I decided to try this again. I did not phone you to discuss my review since I trusted your reply and I only complain to inform. Your reply seemed like it was a problem with UberEats, so I decided to order through Deliveroo, like I did the first time. However I was wrong to order again for the third time. If you look at the new photos I have just added, you can see the difference between what I received this week compared to what I received back in October. It's crazy to believe that they came from the same place with only a month difference. The chicken was dry, the rice was hard, there was barely any vegetables (and lacked of the beans and spring onions that I had a month ago), the prawn tempura tasted different and the croquette wasn't as flavourful as last time. It overall just lacked a lot of flavour. I'm just so disappointed. The rice used to be so soft, the chicken used to be moist and the croquette used to be so lovely. It's such a shame. Old review made on 8th November 2022: My food this time was disappointing in comparison to my first time. I had ordered here with Deliveroo on the 16th of October 2022 and had a good experience with my food. I had ordered: chicken lovers bundle (which includes karaage chicken, crispy chicken gyoza and battered wings), chicken katsu curry and the chicken katsu set with prawn tempura. The food came in light brown coloured tubs with plastic see-through lids and the boxes kept the food in good condition since the material didn't make the box greasy. The food was also tasty; the chicken katsu, croquette and tempura prawn being my favourite as they tasted fresh and full of flavour. The curry was a little on the weak side in terms of flavour but it was nice. I wasn't a fan of the karaage since they left an odd aftertaste in my mouth and the chicken gyozas were rather tasteless. I was indifferent to the battered wings. HOWEVER, I ordered here again with UberEats yesterday on the 7th of November 2022 and the food was disappointing in comparison with my previous experience. Firstly, there's an instant change in the boxes that they use to put the food in; they're now white and not the same material (I've tried searching online and I'm thinking it's bagasse but I'm not sure) but the food made the box greasy since all the oils and sauce soaked in. Also, the pictures of what the food is supposed to look like weren't what I received (I've attached a photo of what I received. I did take some food out of my curry set but the rest of them I didn't touch yet) But, as you can see, it was disappointing. The pictures on the UberEats app show that some of the food are supposed to come with slaw/some vegetables (like the tempura, croquette and salt and pepper squid) but they did not. And the tempura says it is "served with dipping sauce" but I didn't receive any. Moving onto the taste, the chicken katsu curry was disappointing. The chicken was dry, tough and soggy prior to even being doused in curry. The takoyaki was soggy and I couldn't see any tonkatsu sauce that it claims to have, unless the sauce is what is all over the box then they need better packaging. I was also expecting at least some garnish and more sauce like mayo (though it doesn’t say on the UberEats app but it does on Deliveroo) but that's what takoyaki should be so it was a shame. The rest of the food was okay, I still loved the tempura so that hasn't failed me yet. Overall, I don't see myself ordering takeaway here again, which is a shame since my first time was amazing.
