| - I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching the sous vide cooking method on my own for fun, before my family was enticed by the pictures they have outside their doors. AND THEY MISERABLY FAILED. I ordered a half steak half galbi with white rice, a spring egg, fried onions, pickles, and mushrooms in a garlic butter sauce.
-The steak was WELL DONE, without any significant char. Not even leniently medium (advertising a medium rare), and recieving the meal hardly warm.
-The kalbi (almost as thin as cheesesteak meat), i honestly just feel like they ate themselves and gave me the bones. Charred much better, but the thinnest possible cut of meat just made every piece taste like butane.
-The pickles were certainly not japanese, neither in taste or vegetable. Very briney, not sweet--salty and sour.
-Why white button mushrooms??? And how did you get them to taste canned?
-The egg was (no contest) the ONLY successful things they made, because i mean the fried onions were store bought, and the rice was mushy.
WORST OF ALL: Their butter garlic sauce was literally melted butter and RAW chopped garlic. Even worse than the 100% absence of salt, or the fact the only seasoning was a pinch of furikake on the egg, it wasn't even bland. It all tasted like raw garlic. Everything the butter touched.
If i were at a sit down restaurant, I wouldn't even have bothered to ask for a replacement.
They've comepletely missed the entire point of the concept of sous vide cooking and had in fact made something just simply terrible.
