Munchery

Try it out yourself. You will definitely return to try out more of the menu, which changes daily while rotating through some standard menu dishes every week. I’m actually prioritizing my vacations on which friends I go to visit based on whether they have Munchery in their city yet, too. It’s kinda ridiculous how much I love it. I’ve tried a few other services, but I always go back to Munchery.

We had a few meals from the Munchery in the past week.
Classic Pasta Bolognese: Enjoyed, typical pasta dish.
Pork Carnitas Soft Tacos: Didn’t warm up well, overwhelming about of pork (too much for three shells), very sparse on the toppings (not enough for three). The pico was too tangy, and the excellent crema sauce was a small amount (not enough).
Short Rib Ramen: This was a joke. It was essentially just ramen, and not enjoyable at all.
Your Perfect Burger: Best of the four, enough meat for two patties, excellent pagakaging ensures moist and tender burger.
In summary: It arrives cold, and meals are hit or miss (50% chance), but a miss is disheartening when it is your dinner. I left cardboard microwaved meals behind in college, and the misses were reminiscent of them. I’d rather order to-​go, or pay 3 $ more to have something local delivered of better quality.
Unimpressed, and not worth the misses to find the good meals.

Munchery is a great concept. Restaurant-​quality food delivered to your door the same day you order, if necessary. Just the ticket for the busy but discriminating foodie. But the question stands: is it worth it, vis-​a-​vis just getting some upscale takeout dish at the grocery store?
Sadly, in a word, no. I am honestly astonished by the number of 4– and 5-​star reviews. All I can think is that Munchery’s fan base is not a terribly discriminating bunch.
THE ROSES: They make it soooooooo easy; lovely, easy to use website. See what you like, a few clicks, Bob’s your uncle, and you’ve got your dinner brought right to your door. You are given a delivery window, and they nail it!
THE THORNS:
1) The uncomfortable feeling that you’re abetting the worst of the ‘new economy’. You get the feeling that everyone involved with Munchery, from the chefs who make the food to the Matt Dillon lookalike who delivered our food are just scraping by, while the folks who own
make a mint of their app and website. Better to just patronize someones food cart or restaurant, and not support the Über-​ization of the economy.
2) The food just ain’t that great. On the website, everything looks simply amazing. Delivered, not so much. My duck in gastrique was small, dry, and paired with a downright parsimonious serving of root vegetables on the side. Our chicken with biscuits fared better, but I honestly couldn’t see how this was any better to a Marie Calender’s entrée from the freezer section of the grocery store. I’m just being honest.
THE VERDICT: In open and honest counsel to all the Millennials who think Munchery is worth 4– and 5-​star reviews: if your lives are so hectic that this is the alternative to either (a) cooking a quick, healthy stir-​fry or something at home, or (b) taking some time to enjoy a meal out with loved ones or © just getting an upscale frozen entrée or a nice takeout dinner at Metropolitan Market or Whole Foods (and you KNOW you live close to one of these), you REALLY need to re-​evaluate your life choices.
Munchery is a marginally viable option if you’re taking advantage of one of their promotions, but otherwise, it’s really not that great a deal. If you’re paying rack rate for this, you must really be desperate. Just sayin’…

THANK YOU! This is exactly what I was looking for on those busy days where I want a good dinner that is easy to put together at home. I tried a few of the services that bring you recipe and food to prepare… but that took too long and honestly wasn’t good. What you get with Munchery is yummy food, ready to drop into the microwave or oven that is fresh and tastes great. My husband and I got the Santa Fe Salads and they were good… but I wanted to try something more complex. He got the Miso Glazed Salmon and said it was excellent (Although I’m not a big fish person he suggested I not try it since he said it had a bit of fishy-​ness to it) I got a short rib soup that was super tasty. I love that we got an extra cookie (although with two entrees it would have rocked to get two) Oh and for me one of the biggest happy happy joy joys is that you can order as late as 5:59 for that night. So once I was working late, realized I’d be later than I thought Ordered and voila! I got home and there was my little red bag with food. NICE! Here is a $ 10 coupon off if you wanna try it.

I’m a huge Munchery fan. I order them at least once or twice a week. The food is great, especially the dinner rolls.
My only gripe is the fish. I know worms are common in fish but I just can’t. Nope. Never. I’ve only found worms in the fish only twice in the last six months to a year that I’ve been ordering from them, but that’s two times too many. I can’t order fish dishes from them anymore.
But everything else is amazing! Love them!

Had to revise my review – it’s been months now and the vegetarian selections haven’t really changed much. Some of the good veggie options have disappeared forever. The eggplant noodles are kind of gross and there are multiple tofu options (vegetarians don’t all love tofu, you know). I’ve stopped ordering from Munchery now even though the desserts look oh-​so-​tempting. Until the menu improves, I’m not coming back.
PS: Chef Larcom, you have my undying admiration. Please marry me and make me your amazing chocolate chip cookies and malted chocolate pudding every day?

You now need to pre-​order or everything will run out. They are obviously doing really well and expanded their delivery service area. I also think they are getting kind of lazy because I see the same old stuff over and over again, day after day. It also takes about an hour now if you want to order. Sad face. I want my food MEOW!

Munchery is a great service when you want a healthy meal with little time to cook. The website is beautiful and easy to use. You just look at the day’s menu, choose your meal and schedule your 1-​hour delivery window. I think they have the menu set about a week in advance so you can schedule deliveries for the future, not just the current day.
The delivery was great– right within the 1 hour window. The food itself was phenomenal. For about $ 10, you get a refrigerated meal that you can heat up at your leisure. I got the roasted chicken with asparagus and brown rice pilaf. It was flavorful without being greasy or over-​salted. It was also a very good amount– not too little but not too much.
Most of the food choices are very healthy (mostly grilled/​baked chicken or fish) with lots of veggies, which I love! Vegetarian meals are also available. They even have entrée-​sized salads and side dishes, in case you don’t want to order a whole meal.
The food is very reasonably-​priced and totally worth it. Munchery is great for any time you want a healthy meal on your own schedule without having to cook!

As someone who is too lazy to cook, Munchery has become my «go to» for a healthy dinner. Prices are cheaper than your average restaurant, and you can’t beat having it delivered.
Recommended plate: You MUST try to Sweet Ketchup Glazed Meatloaf. Nom nom nom! So good!
Delivery Area: My only complaint is that Munchery’s delivery area does not include Renton. Since I work in Bellevue, my meals are delivered to my office instead. I hope in the near future Munchery expands their delivery area.
All the delivery drivers have been super nice, which is an added bonus. :)

Very pleased! The process is quick and easy, and the food was delicious. I had my first meal today and I had it for free; I used a friends code. I even got a free cookie for my first order!
The food came right when I specified, and the food presentation was great, you couldn’t even tell it was shaking in the car! Stick the food in the oven for 10 minutes (or microwave) and its good to go. It was filling, and very convenient. Will definitely order from Munchery again!

I love Munchery. The service is quick, the delivery people are friendly, and the food is healthy and delicious.
If you’re not familiar with how it works, you basically have to make an account with Munchery where you input your address, phone number, and the card you want to pay for your orders with. Every day, there’s a daily online menu where you can order your food whether it be entrees, sides, or both, and set an approximate delivery time. If you want to plan ahead, you can order the food for the next day on the night before, which also ensures that if your dish is popular that it won’t run out. If they don’t deliver it to you reasonably within the time frame that you set, they’ll give you five dollars credit. So yeah Munchery definitely prioritizes customer service which is nice to see.
The food itself is very healthy; and the kind of food you would expect commonly see in a corporate setting. But it’s the tastiest healthy food i’ve ever eaten, which sounds weird but is true. The food always comes cold, which is fine, as it comes in a microwavable container. You’ll probably need to heat it up for at least 3 – 4 minutes.
Overall Munchery serves as a convenient, quality, and unique option at a reasonable price. After ordering from them three times, they’ve proven to be reliable, both in terms of service and food.

Received my Munchery first order today. Great meal!
To start, the service was on time, and the food wasn’t even the slightest bit shaken up from being carried. My deliveryman Bryce was super nice.
I ordered the Spicy Halibut Street Tacos & Slaw by Chef Bo Maisano. The order arrived in a container that you can put on a cookie sheet and pop in the oven. How convenient! All of the cooking instructions are included on the box as well. I didn’t find the tacos to be particularly spicy, and this is coming from a spice wuss. For anyone else that might have been a downside, but I don’t mind. The order was flavorful with light spice; the Halibut was perfectly prepared and fresh. I ate the whole thing. Sorry, not sorry.
Since it was my first order, it came with a free snickerdoodle cookie (score!) and a handwritten note thanking me. What a great company.

When it comes to food, there ain’t enough delivery services around here who aren’t all about pizza! When i got a flyer in the mail to try out Munchery for one free meal, i said heck yeah! Even tho I’ve only had Munchery one time, i know enough to produce a decent review.
The online website is quite fun to look through. Each day has different meals and treats made by different chefs. We got about 3 master chefs and a few sous chef in the Seattle area! All of which you can read up about on the website! Each meal has the chefs picture under it & its very personal too! The company started out in Cali but have since moved around & im so happy they came to WA. So back to the website, its easy to navigate, the photos of their food are exactly what you get when delivered and i like how the menu changes each week! Some days you get the exact same thing but my mother and i think the menu’s are seasonal & will have more things during different times. Like for example, Turkey during the fall/​winter and fish during the spring!
The prices of these items are what you’d expect in a restaurant. Dinners starting as low as 8 bucks and as high as 15. There are only a few desert items which cost 2 – 5 dollars and a small selection of side dishes and thats it! The problem i have is how little there is of sides and deserts and most of the time these items get repeated the next day. So you get the delicious pudding as a option for ³⁄₅ days available and there will be nothing new.
The biggest thing i dislike about Munchery is that its only open Monday-​Friday. You cannot get anything delivered on saturday or sunday! Bummer cause that’s when i like to party! Other than that, you could order things on sat or sun and get them the following monday! Order early folks because if people around here order the same thing, there will be a «SOLD OUT» photo where your food would be if you decided to order on the same day as delivery! So order ahead of time!
The time frame of delivery said 2 hours but i ordered my meal at 2 and didnt get it till 5. No biggie. Also the delivery fee is only 3 dollars and there is no min amount you need to buy in order for your food to be delivered! Sweet deal! *Just as a joke, you should order up 1 cookie and have it be delivered to you, haha*
After you finally get your food delivered, you will receive text messages from the lady or guy who delivers your food! They even notify you when they are at your doorstep! The lady who gave me my food was named Amber & she was the prettiest girl i’ve never seen! So polite, so young and very well dressed! I felt dirty a tad bit, i didn’t expect such elegance from Munchery! I tipped her and she was super sweet about it. I hope she is my delivery driver again.
The food is spot on from what you’d expect from those pictures on their website! They give you a 100% recycled bag with food trey and a personal Thank you note and i got a free cookie! The food comes Cold so you don’t have to eat it right away! One of the many reasons i like this place encase i didnt feel hungry till later! So i followed the cooking instructions on the container and munched down on it! I was 100% satisfied with my meal and with Munchery being Eco friendly, it made the deal even sweeter!
Just recently however Munchery over charged me & i still haven’t heard anything back from them for a week, even after talking to them on their social sites. So till i get my money back, I’ll give it 3/​5, just because some things aren’t great but for the most part, i’ll eat from Munchery again if they decide to refund me for the money i lost.

Here’s a $ 20 credit it you wanna try:
Looking for something to eat, I checked out Unilocal and a fellow reviewer left their $ 20 invite so I decided to take her up on the offer.
Ordered at 6:30, they quoted a 70 min delivery and it was actually a bit faster. The Moroccan Chicken was excellent, 2 minutes in the microwave and it was all set. Since I had $ 20 to blow, picked up a quinoa salad for tomorrow. They also included a nice handwritten note thanking me for trying them out. Thanks is owed to them for the hook up! Thanks Munchery and I will be back!

Yay for yet another food delivery service! I tried them out and orders a salmon dish (it looked like a stew in the picture) and when it arrives it was nicely presented and they even threw in a yummy snicker doodle cookie for being a first time customer!
The salmon was about $ 11 + $ 3 delivery free and they don’t expect you to tip which is definitely nice. The portion size is ok but there definitely won’t be leftovers or may not satisfy a really hungry person. The salmon arrived on a bed of veggies with the «sauce» on the side. I’m not one that needs (or even reads) directions but I was a little confused about how exactly I was supposed to eat it. It was also cold which I wasn’t expecting either. For some reason I thought it would be like a takeout service where it would arrive warm at least. It would’ve been nice if they included rewarming instructions and «how to eat». I ended up using the side sauce as a dressing and dipping the salmon and veggies in there (I also ate it cold since I thought it was supposed to be a salad??).
The food itself tasted very clean and fresh which is good!

Oh Munchery, you are a lifesaver!
I work three 13 hr night shifts a week and let me tell you, the last thing you want to worry about in between these shifts is what to eat… let alone cook or order a sandwich from Jimmy John’s AGAIN. I heard about Munchery through word of mouth and knew I had to give it a try.
Ordering food is a breeze, either their website or app. I haven’t personally interacted with any of the delivery staff, since they drop off my food in my office (which I love seeing when I arrive to work). So far, I have ordered their salmon and halibut dishes. The Munchery Chefs always cook their fish just right. I personally haven’t had a meal I dislike yet.
Personally, I don’t think its too pricey due to the convenience. I do like that the meals offered are healthy and with good portions.

WoW… this is our first time ordering from Munchery and we not just like we LOVE it. Last night dinner was terrific!!! We ordered chicken Vindaloo, Roasted Chicken & Mushroom Pilaf and two order of their Salmon. The food arrived very fresh, prepared with high quality ingredients, and decent size portions.
Seriously, who would think ordering online and get their food delivery would taste this good. As soon as you placed the order online they will sent an email to confirm your order and the driver actually text before they arrive and very polite and pleasant. Now that’s customer service.
I highly recommend to anyone that are busy with work, family to use Munchery for dinner home delivery. As for me I will use them again and again. They also have a promotion right now if you use the linked below to save money if you order from them for the 1^st time. If you order 2 items + delivery will be less than 5 buck! Excellent deal so don’t wait.

I finally tried this service on Monday night and was extremely pleased with the food quality, timeliness, and ease of preparation. I ordered two jerk salmon entrees that came with coconut braised collard greens and roasted sweet potatoes. The packaging was minimal but appealing. The directions were so easy, heat in oven for 6 – 8 minutes or until warm and squeeze lime over after. It took a little longer than the directions indicated but still so easy. The flavor was exceptional; not bland, not lacking salt, not overly salted. The meal was plentiful and healthful. We also received a few texts thanking us for our order and hoping that we enjoy our meal. We also received a phenomenal chocolate chip cookie for our first order. Will definitely be using this again!

Here’s a RECAP of my experience:
1). ONLINE ORDERING & DELIVERY APPEAL:
–Choices, choices, choices! Each week, they have multiple weekday meal options.
–Super convenient ordering experience (credit card/​PayPal).
–You get online & email confirmations right away, which reassured me that I didn’t mess up my order.
–The driver (Percival) was friendly and timely.
2).THE FOOD:
–Simple reheat instructions. I popped my meal in the microwave, and (3) mins later, (TA-​DA), I got myself some good eats!
My first order ever:
–BEEF BOURGUIGNON ($ 9.95):
Slow-​braised beef in wine, mushrooms, bacon, & pearl onions. Includes potato gratin, green beans, & baby carrots. The beef was tender, with a melt-​in-​your mouth quality. Personally, the cream in the gratin was a little runny & not incorporated w/​the layered potatoes. Though I would have liked mash potatoes instead, the dish overall was still very good!
–GINGER BLONDIE ($ 2.50):
I could eat another one! The brownie-​like bar was chewy, not overly sweet, & moist. The subtle ginger flavor was tasty & not too spicy. The candied ginger & toasted almonds also added nice texture.
–CITRIS SNICKERDOODLE (Free treat as part of my 1^st purchase!): Yummy snickerdoodle w/​a hint of floral, citris flavors.
3). COSTS & LIMITATIONS:
–Munchery delivers from Mon to Fri (4 – 8 pm) to certain zip codes only. It might not deliver to your house, so double check online. Cutoff for same day ordering is 6 pm.
–It can be a little pricey and can add up if you keep ordering multiple meals weekly. Take out orders elsewhere might be cheaper but w/​definitely less quality, so you have to think about worth, portion size, & preference.
–Here’s the regular cost breakdown:
Food (beef, ginger blondie) $ 12.45
Delivery: $ 2.95
Tax: $ 0.51
TOTAL REGULAR COST: $ 15.91
**Note: I ended up paying ($ 5.91) w/​the initial $ 10 discount (YAY!)

The meal comes in its own custom made biodegradable bag. Inside the bag was the meal itself, a mini-​oven pad to put your meal on after heating it, a coaster for your drink, a welcome card, and a bonus cookie for trying Munchery for the first time. The meal itself was packaged with directions on heating and differs depending on what entrée you order. I removed the tomato salad from the package and microwaved the rest for 3 minutes, which was enough.
The beef chimichurri was pretty GOOD! Very tender! Though the flavor was a little bit on the blander side (I put some garlic salt on it for more flavor), I think Munchery did that on purpose just to be safe. You can also tell the ingredients in the tomato salad were fresh. The meal was surprisingly filling, which may be partly because of the yams.
I would give this meal 5 stars out of 5 stars. I’m curious of their other entrees and desserts.
