I love the convenience of Munchery and quality of most of the meals. However, some of the meals' sodium levels are outrageously high. I would prefer to keep sodium levels under 500 mg per entree. I would appreciate more healthier options.

Munchery has become a staple in my meal planning. I use Munchery at least once a week, ordering 2 to 3 meals at a time. I would probably starve without them!
Mostly good, with a few specific suggestions for improvement
I very much enjoy the convenience of Munchery. The quality of their cooking kits are excellent: delicious and nutritious. Many of the pre-made entrees are good. I enjoy the diversity in the menu. I also enjoy the their are both consistent and new dishes. The salmon dishes are not usually very good (and I like salmon!) probably because fish doesn't reheat well. The heating times are way off for the oven. I usually double the recommended heating time for the oven. I do not like the amount of packaging, and feel guilty subscribing because of the amount of waste it produces. I wish you could buy more individual produce items, especially fruit. Deliveries are usually on time and the drivers are friendly.
Problems with implementation
They say they send a text 10 min. before delivering, but do not. They say they knock on the door or ring the bell, but they don't. Support said they would do these things next time, but they didn't. The raw chicken was supposed to be in a sealed bag, but it had a leak. Chicken juice leaked on everything and through the bottom of the bag. They don't let you delete your credit card info. The site says that's because it's used for the membership, but that's not true; I canceled the membership.
Good food, but quality slipping and price going up
Good food, but overpriced. The food was excellent in the past, but quality has slipped in past weeks. Hopefully the quality will go back up. I rely on it a few times a week and prefer salmon and healthy options. I like that the sauce is on the side, so you can often control just how sinful you want to make it! Love love love our delivery woman!

prices creeping up over time;
Great tasting quality food
Great tasting quality food. Portions are a bit small for men and growing teens.

Some menu items are better than others for sure. Usually the simplest ones are best. French dip sandwiches are very good as is the shrimp roll. The vegie minestrone is very good. The salads definitely leave something to be desired (like freshness). The kids hamburger/cheeseburger is also pretty good and in general the desserts are good but can be expensive. I have not bought any of the drinks. The last menu item I purchased was the chicken pho. Bummer. When delivered the bag looked fine and I put in the refrig. immediately. When I opened the bag and then the box the entrée came in, the plastic container with the chicken stock was not just cracked but pretty completely smashed in. I'm still trying to figure out how someone did that because the whole side was literally smashed in. I took a spoonful of the broth that was all floating in the box and it was pretty blaa - as in no taste. Needless to say it all went into the garbage. Prices are going up all the time and I can't really say much for the quality of most items. Too bad. I've pretty much given up on Munchery.

Most of the Munchery meals I've had are very good. Delivery folks are always pleasant. Pricing is good.
Well run company
Well run company. Some dishes are good, others, not so much. I complained and got no response.
