Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
The first meal I've had from CU that was quite terrible. The chicken was tough and tasteless, the rice was too sticky even though I added soy sauce, the "vegetables" (weird succotash) was inedible.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
The beef was overcooked and tough. I order this often and this was the first time the beef was a disappointment. Also too much mayo mixture this time. Seemed like an accident.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
This was really tasty! My only critiques would be that the steak was a bit chewy and the pieces were a bit big because of this.
