I get the appeal of this place but donāt understand the ratings. Both times I went here, it felt like I was a random person sneaking in to raid a fridge. No hello or welcome, no offering of help, and felt like I was putting the girl out who cashed me out. All of that is fine I guess, not everyone is as friendly as the chefs at a sushi restaurant. The variety is good and the food was alright. I got the BBQ chicken and the stuffed peppers. I have no dietary restrictions so I was leary about the dairy free potatoes but they ended up being the best thing. A little pricey for what you get but the ingredients seem good and you are paying for the convenience, right? There are no directions on the food. I grabbed my selection thinking it would be quick but realized that I guess the peppers needed to be in the oven, taking more like 30-45 minutes vs the few to microwave ( I am guessing this is how to cook them, again, no directions) and the way how the BBQ dish was put together, it cooked unevenly (potatoes were perfect but chicken got overcooked and the beans were under). For the price and the time, Iād rather just get the peppers from Costco. Those of you that rave, I am happy you found this place but I was significantly underwhelmed. Final suggestion, weird that a meal prep place is closed on Sunday since that is the literal day most people meal prepā¦maybe...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI really love this business. Other meal prep places, although they deliver, you are restricted to ordering for the entire week by a certain cut-off deadline. For those, like myself, who are always on the go and donāt have the time to think about what they want to eat let alone set aside some time to order it, you will really appreciate this concept.
You can walk in and every day they have such a large assortment of meal prep items, from breakfast to dinner, and beverages. Everyday has different offerings so you can swing by last minute and ensure you can get plenty of meals for the next few days.
The only constructive criticism I would give is I wish there were more balanced meals, in terms of a meal averaging 1g protein for every 10 calories. Iāve only had one day when I walked in feeling super limited on my options because they were higher in calories but lower in protein. Overall Iād like more options in that ~1g protein per 10 calories range. The other suggestion Iād offer is if they can offer any other fish besides salmon. Tilapia or cod would be a great option especially for the fish tacos.
My favorite meals are the blackened salmon, low carb turkey bowl, and chicken burrito bowl.
Overall very filling, very delicious, and cost effective compared...
