Summary : Skimpy portions and preparation time aside, we were disappointed by this frozen dinner's fatty, stringy beef and oddly chewy veggies.
I found the meat (in mine at least) to be finely marbled and tasty…but not nearly enough of it. And…noodles? Where were they? I must’ve missed them for all of the ONIONS! I mean, seriously, was this onion sukiyaki? I’m not even certain there were any other vegetables present. Furthermore, the onions were obviously cut far too near the peel – they were tough, chewy, and overall unpleasant. I think I may have seen some cabbage in the mix somewhere, though I can’t be certain, and the whole thing was very watery. I had to cook it down. As for the taste? WAY too sugary. It was more like a sweet teriyaki…and an onion teriyaki at that. Definitely going to pass on this one – this would make even an amateur Japanese cook cry with embarrassment.
Ha ha – thanks for sharing your experience! Interesting that the quality/cut of your beef sounds significantly more appealing than ours was. There’s definitely room for better QC/more consistency on this product.
Glad to hear you’re in agreement that this dish didn’t make the cut!
It is frozen for long storage. Please do not review it as a microwave ready instant ramen noodle dish.
If cooked properly, the texture and taste are excellent. There is simply nothing like it in stores except if you go to specialty Asian food markets. With such low price it is a great alternative. Also, if we eat it on top of rice, four servings are possible with four cups of rice. Please don’t pull it off the shelves.
Thanks for your feedback, Vlad! We don’t use a microwave for any of the products that we review, so we agree with you on that for sure. Maybe we’ll have to give it another test in the future based on your recommendation.
We keep seeing this item in good stock at our local Trader Joe’s, so it seems like it’s sticking around! Thanks again!
