    I asked if there was any egg in the noodles I ordered - I was told “no”. After eating my food I had an allergic reaction meaning there were traces of egg. Was very upset and disappointed by this.

    DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!!! Absolutely horrible. The guy on the phone has no customer service. I ordered prawn chow mein and the prawn is off it smells really bad & smell off. When I contacted the shop to explain what happened and that I haven’t ate the food so he could came back and collect it. The guy got extremely defensive and rude even though I explain that he could get it back so that he see what I was trying to explain. He told me that it’s impossible. As he does not want to fix my problem but wants to keep my money. I’ve now had to order something else from somewhere else for my family

    I am extremely disappointed with the order that i just received. If if i could give no stars i would! I paid nearly £30 for 2 bento boxes, the quality or lack of it was the worse that i have ever had. If my car was not in the garage i would have returned them to Rikko. Inside the boxes there was 3 slices of salmon in each box (basically 1 salmon portion shared between two), 6 tiny florets of broccoli, 1 prawn toast (as in 1 slice of a baguette), 3 prawn balls. The vast majority (over 70%) was boiled rice. Since when is it acceptable to pay £30 for a box of boiled rice. I know that everyone is feeling the pinch due to the cost of living crisis but these bento boxes are an absolute insult and i will definitely not be ordering again!
