Came here after work to grab some pizza. They sell by the slice and it was pretty busy, so a few…read moreoptions were out while they were restocking. I ordered 3 slices to eat there and 3 to go. Tried the Notorious SMG, Primo, Miss Green, and the Grandma. My favorites were definitely the Grandma and the Primo. The slices tasted better fresh in store. The ones I took home got a little soggy toward the front, but the flavor was still on point. The slices are around $4 each which isn't bad, and they're a decent size with a thin crust. Overall I enjoyed it and would come back. Next time I want to try the square pies.

Top Five Reasons Why I Adore Muscle Up Meals, especially, for my 1500 calories per day:…read more 1. Nutrition Content and Container Sizes. It allows me to specifically pick the low carb meals that I want and/or be able to compare and contrast the various calories between Balanced, Keto, Low Carb and Vegetarian meals. The containers also come in four sizes: Small (4oz), Medium (5oz), Large (6oz) and Extra Large (8oz), so that you can gauge how much food you might need (I'm good w/the Medium Sizes). If you're not sure, you can also contact Muscle Up Meals. Best of all, I can easily enter the information into MyFitnessPal app. 2. The meals are affordable, which allows me to alternate between breakfast and lunch. 3. There's no commitment - I'm not forced into a packaged meal/subscription. I can do a la carte style and choose whichever meals to fit my nutrition goals. 4. The meal deliveries are promised w/in time frame and are packaged neatly and tightly. 5. (Saving the best for last), the Owner - Adam Karapetyan. He went from "Obese to Muscle Beast in 14 months, losing over 200lbs!" Partnering up w/Executive Chef Jesse Munk (who also lost 60lbs), "Each meal is prepared to be 5 Star Delicious as well as precisely weighed and measured to ensure each meal provides the optimum nutrition to help you reach your fitness goals." Proof is definitely in the pudding (pun intended, hehe!). Meal Deliveries: Sundays (between 6pm to 12am midnight) and Mondays (between 10am to 6pm). There's no specific time on when they will deliver. However, you will receive a text notification on your driver's Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). It will also include the driver's name, and the car's make, model and license plate (in case you're at home to receive the delivery and want to make sure it is actually them). If you're not home, the meals come in an insulated bag w/cooling gel packs (lasting up to 15 hours) to keep your food fresh. Deadline to Order: Friday by Noon. However, if you miss the deadline, you can always contact them. Examples of my first breakfast and lunch entrees w/Muscle Up Meals: Breakfast Items: 1. Low Carb - Breakfast Tacos served w/green salsa verde. 2. Low Carb - Eggwhite Breakfast Tacos served w/green salsa verde. Both versions were delicious, extremely satisfying and kept me energized throughout my mornings at work. The lean ground turkey meat, scrambled eggs/eggwhite were seasoned perfectly w/out tasting too salty or bland. The cauliflower tortillas were fluffy, hearty and tasty. I tossed both the green salsa verde since they were too spicy for me and the breakfast tacos were satisfying w/o it. Lunch Entrees 1. Balanced - Blackened Chicken served w/cauliflower and grain rice. Extremely good! Bummer, they didn't have it for this next week's order. The chicken breast was tender and juicy, while the cauliflower was crunchy and grained rice was nicely cooked. 2. Low Carb - Turkey Meatloaf served w/broccoli florets and grain rice. The turkey meatloaf was good but tasted a bit too mushy for me. Whereas the broccoli florets and grain rice were perfectly cooked and filling. I may try out the Balanced or Keto version at some point. 3. Low Carb - Chicken Tenders (2pcs) Plate served w/a chipotle sauce, roasted Brussel sprouts and cauliflower rice. The chicken tenders were hearty w/a little bit of heat to them. The chipotle sauce was too spicy for me. The roasted Brussel sprouts were a bit al-dente, but I still dig it. The cauliflower rice was also tasty, a little bit of heated kick (still edible). 4. Low Carb - Chicken and Cauliflower Rice. My last and simplest meal for the week, which was tender, moist and flavorful. Overall, I highly recommend Muscle Up Meals. I will definitely continue w/them and have already ordered my second batch of food! (Stayed tuned, I'll continue posting pics of new meals).

I would give 0 stars if I could…read more This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had - and the first time in my life I've tried to get a refund on a meal. The order was from the Bird-N-Bun kitchen, but Allied Food To Go made it worse. We ordered a $30+ meal: A Spicy chicken sandwich, waffle fries, coleslaw, and a chicken slider sandwich. What we received was entirely incorrect and inedible. I want to emphasise that it's not just that the items were wrong, they were made with such neglect they should not be sold. It seemed like the Bird-N-Bun was surprised to receive an order, and someone threw together something from whatever was around. The 'Spicy Chicken Sandwhich's' chicken seemed old and had no spice (not just "this isn't spicy enough", I mean no attempt was made to spice or season the chicken), no sauce, no pickles. It was bread and chicken - not remotely matching the written description or images of their item. Worse, the slider was not a sandwich at all - literally just chicken sitting next to a roll. The waffle fries and coleslaw were missing entirely. They did include some regular non-waffle fries, so there was at least some aknowledgement that fries were included in the order. 4 items, 1 missing, 1 incorrect, 2 prepared so poorly it feels criminal to have been charged for it. Bird-N-Bun is 0/10. Afterwards, Allied Food To Go was extremely disappointing. When I contacted them about the order, they deflected, suggested I must have picked up the wrong order. They did not seem to understand that the issue was not just wrong or missing items. They initially refused to consider a refund, even after showing them in-person the order vs what we recieved. Customer service issued a $10 credit before I got a chance to explain the problem, and never responded to my messages. I followed up again days later and still received no reply. I would not order from Bird-N-Bun or Allied Food To Go again.

CM Ghost Kitchen by Chef Maezaki is located at 296 North Allen Avenue…read more Suite #1 Pasadena, California 91106. It is located in a small shopping area just below the 134/210 freeway. There are a number of small boutique stores located here. This Japanese restaurant was a great find when I was out walking. I was actually going to pick up some food at another place. I read some of the reviews to get an idea of what to expect and was pleased to find that the food here is very good. This is a takeout only restaurant. They cater and also Chef Maezaki teaches sushi techniques in the surrounding area. I entered the front door and walked to the large counter. I was greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. I asked a number of questions and realized that I must be talking to Chef Maezakl. He showed me the menu. He also showed me specials that they were offering. After taking some time I decided to order the special wagyu beef entree, and a spicy tuna hand roll. I sat down in one of the chairs available and waited. I could smell great aromas from the food being prepared in the kitchen. I was happy when my food arrived about 15 minutes later. I could sense his pride in what he had prepared for me. I enjoyed the complete dinner that was the wagyu beef entree. There was rice, pickled cucumber, California roll sushi, a special piece of fried chicken, and chicken gyoza. It came in a perfectly packed & arranged container, ready to eat. I'm happy to say the taste translated to a great experience in dining. The marinated beef was tender and flavorful. The chicken was moist tender with a crisp exterior. The cucumber salad was bright and refreshing. The fresh sushi was a nice touch. I went back another time to try the cold chicken ramen, a three piece chicken appetizer, and the tiramisu. I was happy with the fresh flavor of the vegetables in the ramen. It was a nice change. All I can say about the tiramisu is that it has an addicting flavor! I can't wait to have it again. It's nice that the parking lot accommodates all the small boutique businesses. There has always been plenty of parking when I was there. This shopping area with its boutique stores is a good find. I look forward to my experience at CM Ghost Kitchen.

Overall hits the spot for sushi fix. The only drawback is it's priced the same as restaurants which would have served two pieces of each fish plus uni and ikura etc. Although I will say I was pleasantly surprised at the tiny squeeze bottle sauces provided and that it tasted homemade (ponzu, yuzu, unagi sauce). May order again if there's a deal.

Several of their "no added sugar" items -- like the banana protein and dessert-style meals -- clearly contain sugary ingredients (one even has Nilla Wafers). It feels dishonest to advertise them this way, and I think many customers are being misled. I reached out by email asking for clarification about the actual sugar content, but never got a response. That silence says a lot. The rest of the food is decent, but the lack of transparency and failure to address customer concerns is disappointing. Honest labeling and communication should be the bare minimum for a place promoting health-focused meals.
