Deeelish! By Sous Kitchen

My job offer Sous Kitchen as one of the «Corporate Perks» but while every company might get a different «perk» it seems that what they offer our business is simply the privilege of onsite delivery. It didn’t seem to me that we received free shipping or even a discount on the foods. Big minus! (Kudos to the company where I work for having this available though.)
Next, because I decided to jump on this wagon the first week of employment, I had to order by phone, but given the number of questions I had, I decided to be kind to them and write an email first. A day and a half later, I still hadn’t heard back, so I called them. Minus!
The woman who answered the phone was extremely helpful and had the patience of a saint with me. I don’t exaggerate when I suggest I must have had about 10 questions. I wanted to know what I was getting myself into. She answered them all and not with simply «yes» or «no» but she elaborated when necessary. She even told me about a discount code that was available and about specials. Big plus!
I’ll skip some dreary details. I arrived in the afternoon to pick up my order. Everything was ready but I had to wait behind an undecided couple, and the person at the counter was almost pretending not to see me for a while, but eventually she did tell me she would be with me shortly. Later she couldn’t carry the two bags at once because her shoulder is hurt (very understandable — I’m not entirely without a heart). I was a little disappointed that though everything was frozen, that there wasn’t any dry ice like I was told there is when delivered to a business or presumably a home. So on one of the hottest days of the year, during commute traffic, I was a little concerned. (It turned out fine.)
The best part though is that after cooking two meals I’ve become a HUGE fan. I was SUPER impressed by how they packaged everything and made the instructions very clear. Their portions are as stated; I purchased the «Medium» which they say feeds 3 – 4, and I was in fact able to get three very healthy portions. I could have gotten a fourth had I made a simply salad or had garlic bread with the pasta dish. The chocolate chip cookies were also very tasty.
I ordered all of the vegetarian choices for the month, two sides, scones AND chocolate chip cookies. The delivery charge was omitted since I picked up. Keep in mind that each of the meal (6 different entrees) will yield me 3 meals easily. I’m convinced that for what I paid, and knowing myself well enough to know how much produce I discard because I never get around to cooking it in time, ~$ 165 is reasonable. I feel like with the one meal, I’ve already saved about $ 25 between one dinner out and one lunch at work.
You still have to cook, and you have to think ahead so that you can take the meal out of the freezer the night before. But, you don’t have to grocery shop nearly as much or as long. You don’t have to think about what you’re going to cook, necessarily, you don’t have to chop and dice and you get to try different foods. One of the dishes I ordered is a Korean style dish — I’ve never had Korean food and the thought of buying a bunch of unfamiliar spices to try my hand at one dish isn’t entirely appealing to me.

For the 1^st time, I’ve got food coming out of my kitchen that tastes better than resturant food. With 2 kids (1 and 3), we frequently get take out and trader joes. When we want adult food, we do fine dining in SF or Los Gatos. Imagine how shocked I was when the Deelish meals tasted better than resturant cuisine! The Coffee Hanger steak is sweet and sticky, a nice contrast to the nutty flavor of beef and the usual BBQ or rubs. But it was the porcini and white mushroom lasagna that blew me away. My 1 year old who just started solids and 3 year old picky eater put away ¼ of the pan by themselves in just a few minutes. Preparation involved taking the prepared lasagna out of the bag and popping it in the oven for 60 minutes. Amazing taste, better than my fav resturant lasagna. You’ll spend about $ 200-​$ 250 an order which includes up to 16 split meals or 8 whole meals. The portions are generous, especially compared to resturant food. Can’t recommend them enough.

I have been using Deeelish!‘s food prep services for about 6 months now. At first I was a little hesitant to «invest» in the number of meals the minimum order consisted of. After talking to some of our neighbors, we dove in and asked for our meals to be «split» which basically means they’re divided in half (9 meals becomes 18). The beauty of Deeelish! is that my husband can actually read and follow their instructions. Our kids like approximately 50% of the meals too which is a nice bonus. (I never expected them to break out of their simple food demands) I am so thankful for the time Deeelish! has given me to spend with my family as opposed to meal planning/​shopping/​prepping every single day. The value is incredible on so many levels. If you haven’t tried them yet, you should!
Our absolutely favorites are the paella, stuffed pork tenderloin, coffee roasted hanger steak, cedar plank salmon and the pulled pork sandwiches. We’ve only had one meal that we thought was less than awesome and none that were regretable.
Thanks for a wonderful service and delicious meals for my family!

After having our baby, my husband and I went in with some friends on some of the meal-​prep options around here. Out of everything we tried, Deeelish is definitely my favorite; their food is much fresher, and they don’t try to fool you into thinking that a piddly serving should count as a meal in order to lower the per-​meal cost. (Example: when you split the meals they are actually 2 2-​person meals, not 2 3-​person meals that are really only enough to serve 2 people.) I appreciate their extensive menu because my husband tends to be a little pickier than I am about food.
Beyond the great ingredients and generally delicious taste, the people who work there are truly nice, and helpful. Also, they’ve got great senses of humor; they were the only people who did something on April Fool’s day that made me laugh. (I even told my friends about how an alpaca — Sir Bertie Fuzzywumpkins III — wrote me an email!)

Great menus every month, and the quality of the food is excellent. The meats are top quality. We freeze the meals and use one per week, and when that night comes around, it’s always a treat. No complaints at all.

I love this place. I’ve been going there on and off since they opened. The food is always fresh, California style food with wonderful flavor and healthy to boot! Before I found Deeelish, I tried some of the other companies. The food was full of fat, low quality ingredients, and just wasn’t the type of food my family was used to eating. Thank goodnesss for Deeelish!!! They are always friendly, helpful and the food never disappointing. The portions are huge, so my family of 4 always has left overs (a huge bonus for me!!!). I love this place — convenience, great recipes and quality, healthy ingredients. What more can you ask for???

I’ve driven past this place on my way home from work, nearly everyday, for almost 3 years and have never stopped. Always wanted to… just never did.
Well, I’ve finally tried their food… the Pesto Sausage Gnocchi. It was sooooo delicious! It was so full of flavor and tasted so fresh. I wish I had the recipe, actually. On top of the food, their customer service is excellent. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and knowledgable.
I know that for delivery, it’s kind of pricey (only because you have to order a minimum of 8 entrees, I believe), but you can still pick it up w/​no minimum. I really suggest that you try at least one entrée. It sold me. =)

I’ve tried similar place and the quality and flavor of the meals at Deeelish is much better. Big advantage is that you don’t have to plan your meal. Cost is very reasonable. They also include a decent side dish so all you have to do is to add fresh veggies.

Pros:
Everything I hate about preparing a meal is made easier. The shopping for ingredients, only using a small portion of said ingredients for a recipe and having the rest go bad (lE fresh herbs or vegetables, etc) chopping, cleaning up after the prep — is all a thing of the past.
Cost per Meal — I would say it’s pretty reasonable per meal. The portions are hefty for four and small for six. So a family of four like us, usually has 2 servings leftover for lunch the next day. Plus most of the meals come with a side (mostly pasta or rice).
Taste — It’s good, not great or exciting, but a solid «good». Personally, I prefer my food to be a little more exotic, but I understand they are trying to make it pleasing to the mass. I’ve had 3 of the eight meals so far. Hanger Steak, Maple Glazed Salmon and Chix Kebabs.
Great Atmosphere:
Extremely clean, they offer coffee, tea and water. Even freshly baked scones. The staff was extremely attentive (think WholeFoods) Anytime I had a WTH look on my face, someone was there in less than 5 seconds to offer assistance. Everything I could possibly need was brought to me instantly.
The Cons:
Having to order 8 entrees minimum is a lot. Esp because there are only 7 days in a week and if your husband isn’t taking you out at least one night a week, then kick his ass. I know you can freeze the packages, but this defeats the purpose of a «fresh» meal. I can go get frozen food at any number of places.
The Total Cost. Yes, I did say the Cost per Meal was reasonable, but because you have to buy 8 at a time, it’s an expensive investment. Esp if you don’t even know if you’ll like it! My bill was around $ 238.00.
I’d give it a 5 star rating if I could purchase 5 meals.
Would I do it again? Most likely but I would probably order before the 1^st of the month and have them pack the stuff for me at no additional charge, which will save me 1.5 hrs of work (It’s $ 4 extra per meal otherwise for them to pack)

I tried Deeelish because a friend of mine told me how convenient it was. I have to say, it was so easy and the meal was very simple to cook. Not only that but the food was great. I got the Pomegranate Tri Tip with the Panzanella Salad (awesome bread salad) and I loved it! I immediately went back to get more but I guess I got one of the last tri-​tips… I learned that they change their menu each month. So I tried another meal (the Salsa Verde Skirt Steak) and it was so flavorful I was blown away. I am hooked and this place has totally made my life easier… I don’t have to worry about what to do for dinner, I just go to Deeelish and bring it home.

i worked at deelish for a short week (personal issues) but let me tell you, best experience EVER. Loved my co-​workers, the management and just about everything else. The ingredients are fresh, the meals are all gourmet. I can’t wait until i have a chance to go back and make some meals for me and my husband. I suggest Deelish to EVERYONE that is on a busy schedule yet still desires great, easy to prepare food.

wow — where have you been!
I was skeptical of this place — I had walked by several times, checked out the website then when I was under pressure for an upcoming dinner party I decided to give them a try. I picked my meals online and opted for them to package for me. The day I was supposed to pick up I missed my time but when I called in — no worries come when you can — wow how nice is that! Then I get there and a gentleman goes over my meals at a beautiful bar style counter. He details each one for me and to make things even easier they have labeled directions on the front of everything! I’m so thankful to have found a place that will plan the menu, do the shopping, chop, measure and bag the meals for me. All I have to do is figure which day I’m serving what! I love that their menus details the calories for me. I’m all set for next month and have a coworker going in with me spiltting the meals — yes they will do that for you too. Awesome service for a busy professional that still loves to cook gourmet food but doesn’t have the time for shopping and prep work. By the way — dinner party for 8 — was the easiest and least stressful one I’ve given in years. Thank you — deeelish.

Deeelish is truly a place that lives up to its moniker. The establishment is clean, the managerial staff is knowledgeable and professional, the ingredients are fresh, and the entire experience is worth repeating. Working here at deeelish gives me the authority to say that all the above is true! I’ve never worked at any food Establishment like this before. Every single product is brought in fresh for the customer the same day they use it. All the meats and produce are fresh from local vendors, nothing is frozen! All meals are professionally vacuum sealed extending the freshness and eliminating freezer burn. People go on-​line to select the meals they want to build, then come to a pre-​reserved session to build their menu.
It’s all about making cooking at home easy. All the shopping, chopping, dicing, and prep work are done. All that’s left is to put the meal on the grill, in the broiler, or into a skillet. In 30 minutes you can have fast food that’s healthy, real food. Deeelish meals serve 4 – 6 people for about $ 30.
