    Chef Esther Choi -- Miso Ramen with Chicken Katsu, Shiitake Mushrooms & Bok Choy
    Chris W.

    If you are someone who checks Yelp before trying a restaurant... I'm right there with you. And yes, I know... Cook Unity isn't technically a restaurant. But it kind of feels like you've curated a lineup of restaurant-quality meals and had them delivered straight to your door, ready to be reheated however you like (chef's recommendation in a pan or in the oven, or in the microwave... I choose the chef's route) What sets it apart is that it's a Chef's Marketplace. These aren't random meals. These are dishes created by actual chefs, people with accolades, restaurants, cookbooks, a following... all putting their menus into rotation for you to order from weekly. I've tried the typical meal prep brands that promise "easy" and "time-saving." That's great, but not if it comes at the expense of quality and taste. I switched to Cook Unity from Factor, and I haven't looked back. Honestly, I regret ever convincing myself that Factor was good enough. I know my reviews tend to be more detailed than most, but that's just how I am. I'm not paid for this, and I'm not trying to sell anything. I just appreciate when something actually delivers on what it promises. For context, I live alone, and while I enjoy cooking, it's not always practical. Between time, cost, and wasted ingredients, having restaurant-level meals at home just makes sense. Actually, it goes beyond that. I find myself reviewing almost every meal in the app because they're genuinely worth talking about. There are 300+ meals to choose from weekly, plus rotating new additions, premium options, snacks, desserts, and juice accompaniments. And the delivery has been solid, better handled than most traditional food delivery services I used to rely on. Personally, I run a two-weeks-on, one-week-off rhythm. It keeps things balanced and makes me appreciate it even more when I come back. And I get to cook and be purposeful for a week. Some standouts so far: - Chef Cat Cora -- Seared Salmon & Crispy Rice with Sriracha Mayo Firecracker Sauce - Chef Aarthi Sampath - Jamdown Jerk Chicken w/Coconut Rice & Roasted Plantains - Chef Esther Choi -- Miso Ramen with Chicken Katsu, Shiitake Mushrooms & Bok Choy - Chef Chris Ratel -- BBQ Chicken with Gooey Mac & Cheese (no exaggeration, one of the best mac & cheeses I've had) - Chef Anne Thornton -- Sweet Chili Tofu Bowl with Quinoa, Edamame & Broccoli (I re-plate my meals because it just feels better... but you do you... don't judge the pics, didn't realize I'd be making a review. But my mom loves to see what I eat!) If you made it this far, you already know this isn't a quick review (I rarely do a quick review lol). I just like highlighting companies that actually follow through on what they promise... and in this case, exceed expectations. Cook Unity definitely does. Hope you give it a shot!

    A H.

    I made the mistake of not checking the Better Business Bureau before signing up for CookUnity. Had I done even five minutes of research, I would have seen their F rating and the 187+ complaints filed against them. That should have been my warning. My experience was every bit as bad as those reviews suggest. Trying to reach customer support was an exercise in frustration. There is no easy way to speak to an actual person, and when responses do arrive, they're delayed and unhelpful. For a company that deals with perishable food and recurring billing, making it this difficult to get assistance is inexcusable. Worse, I received multiple meals that had expiration dates just two days after delivery. For a weekly meal subscription, that's completely unacceptable. The entire point of the service is convenience and flexibility -- not scrambling to eat food immediately before it spoils. Sending customers nearly expired meals feels careless at best. The final insult was continuing to charge my card after I had closed my account. Canceling should mean canceling. Instead, I had to dispute the charge because there was no clear or responsive way to fix the issue through their support channels. Being billed after termination isn't just frustrating -- it destroys trust. Between the near-expired meals, the inaccessible customer service, and the continued charges after cancellation, this has been one of the worst subscription experiences I've had. I expected reliability and quality. What I got was stress, wasted money, and hours spent fixing their mistakes. I strongly advise anyone considering CookUnity to research thoroughly before signing up. I certainly wish I had.

    Just a few items we ordered for next week. The app makes it really easy to use.

It is a true gem in Times Square! We were staying in Times Square and really craving Asian cuisine--but as anyone knows, it can be surprisingly hard to find a genuinely good, satisfying dinner in that area. Finding Bee-Licious was such a gift. From the moment we walked into Picnic (a digital ordering food court where multiple kitchens operate under one roof and you input your order electronically) the staff (Kai) was incredibly kind and accommodating, taking the time to recommend the honey BBQ pork combo--and wow, we are so glad we listened. The meal came complete with fluffy rice, a perfectly cooked fried egg, and a freshly prepared salad of crisp lettuce, sweet corn, and carrots tossed in a light, refreshing vinaigrette. The combo even included a water or soda, which felt like such a thoughtful touch. This meal was truly the highlight of our day. It tasted home-cooked, savoury, well-prepared, generously portioned, and absolutely scrumptious. Every bite was comforting and balanced, not heavy or rushed--just honest, delicious food made with care. We're Filipino-Canadian and lucky enough to have some of the best Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese food on the West Coast (Vancouver!), and this meal genuinely tasted like home. That says everything. We would 100% recommend Bee-Licious to anyone craving an Asian-flavoured, well-balanced meal--especially if you're overwhelmed by Times Square dining options. Please support local businesses and eat at Bee-Licious. You won't regret it!

It was just ok. Food was room temp, but I heated it up and it was still just ok. The egg was pretty good though. I don't like the BBQ taste and was just trying this place out. This place is at the Picnic digital food court/ghost kitchen at W46th St in the heart of Times Square. It's for pickup and delivery only and they have a variety of foods from about 15+ restaurants using the space. There is a small ledge table by the door and window, so you can actually eat fast on it. They also have tables and seatings right outside.

In helping him troubleshoot the block, I learned of this amazing take out sushi that is unlike any other take out I've had before. We went for the Joji Box 1 and I wasn't sure what to expect but wow. This little box of goodness rivals some omakases I've had in person. The fish was fresh, and the rice was perfect temperature without falling apart. Even the box felt like it was a high end gift box. Everything is tucked away in this box: chopsticks, napkins, sauce dishes, fresh real wasabi, and even soy sauce from a tiny bottle. What a treat.

I'd splurge on it if you want to treat yourself to a good "to go" lunch or dinner. Definitely do so if you have corporate meal allowance. I was always curios about Joji Box but it' s not cheap - so like many I wondered if it was worth it. Eventually took one for the team. The first time I got the omakase box I didn't love having to sauce/wasabi it myself but I think that's just being picky. The last time I got the omaakase box, the omakase chirashi and the maki flight. The omakase box is a good assortment with a shimi, salad, two maki rolls and 10 nigiri. The pieces vary with premium ingredients like kinmedai, ikura, uni, toro, etc. It's costly at $62 but I think you get what you pay for. The chirashi had a variety of sashimi, lots of ikura and plenty of sushi rice. It's very good but for $50 I'd rather kick in more $ for the omakase. Maki Flight is great, $21 for a sampling of their three best rolls. It's 12 pieces total but they're nice size with a good amount of filling. If you're looking to treat yourself for lunch or maybe a nicer dinner takeaway - solid choice. I'm convinced enough that I'll try Joji for real one night.
