The produce is always fresh and the spices add just the right zest, my husband and I have enjoyed every meal. The meals are easy to prepare and the website is easy to navigate. This is by far our favorite food service!

The quality of veggies is getting worse. This has happened a few times already. They are either moldy, wilted, and not fresh.

Lately some of the veggies have been less than fresh.
My preselected meals are definitely not selected for “me in mind”- and I’ve mentioned this before.
The steak selection from our last meal was awful compared to the rest of our past meals. All the chicken dishes are great!

Ice pack is melting so things are not frozen when they arrive

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They deliver food you did not order and were not told you are paying for just to see their menus. In fact, I put on green chef that I NEVER wanted shellfish and magically it arrived today and they refuse to refund what I did not agree to and they are also refusing to help with the return of the box. This is total FRAUD and the company is dishonest. Also, as a side note, Rachelle (not in the U.S.) answered the support number with another company and then said "Green Chef" and told me it was a long wait for a supervisor and did not want to get me one. This is a total joke and she also told me that when you look at menus you are automatically agreeing to the food order they show you. That is also not honest. I have NO SUBSCRIPTION and NO AGREEMENT with this company yet they want to charge me hundreds for a box I did NOT order.

The last meal with artichoke was like eating the tough husk of the corn cob. Perhaps better instructions on stripping off a couple layers of the artichoke would help. This was our first time using this vegetable.
That being said, it was the first bad experience out of 30 meals. Ingredients are always fresh. Oh… you also forgot to add the chicken stock with the meal.

Coconut milk was spoiled and rice package had a small hole in it allowing the rice to leak out of the package. I have had pretty good luck over the last year but have noticed the delivery has gotten sloppy
May consider trying another company

Love picking my meals out ahead of delivery. Certain items I don't use from one dish, I can swap out with other meals.
It's opened my eyes to try new spices and ingredients.

Food was great, recipes are good.

Great delivery and time to review meal choices. Food is good quality but pre frozen meats so you can’t refreeze and must cook them. Negative is that there is a lot of repeated ingredients in “different meals” like dates, almonds, roasted red peppers, lemon and lemon based sauces.

We want our menu to feel fresh and diverse every week, so we’ll definitely share your notes with our culinary team to help us shake things up. Your kind words and constructive insights mean a great deal to us and encourage our team to keep delivering the best experience possible!

I was referred to Green Chef from a family member. I received 3 free meals and just paid shipping. After this I have been receiving the Mediterranean meals. The vegetables, protein and spices and complete meals are fabulous. My husband usually doesn’t cook but enjoys preparing these meals. Prep only takes about 30 minutes and well worth it. Portion size and calorie count we are very happy with.

Too much prep work required in the cooking process. A meal prep should mean that the ingredients are prepared and ready to use. Also too much prep with making fresh said dressings, what s waste of time and energy on something that could be easily purchased from the grocery store.

On April 30, I wanted to try your service. I was texted and emailed a discount of 50% on the first box and 20% on the next two months. I selected my box (and was repeatedly reminded I could make changed to this order until midnight, April 30 for a May 5 delivery).
Upon checking the receipt, I saw the discount was not applied. I tried numerous times to get it to activate through the email and text links-but to no avail. I tried chatting with a live agent, who kept saying, I had to do it online, before discontinuing the chat. Frustrated, I just went online and canceled the subscription on April 30…assuming I was canceling before starting.
Now I find you charged my card the full $126 and in calling your “customer service” find that there is some other hidden process for canceling, that the agent never disclosed-nor is clear on your site.
The best I was offered was a credit on Green Chef? Finally I demanded, and it needs to be processed, a credit of 50% back to my credit card as that is the original amount I was “lured” into paying.
What you are doing is classic “bait and switch” without fully and clearly disclosing your policies and practices.
I will be reporting your company to the BBB, Yelp and Reddit reviews as well as the NC Attorney General office. Additionally, I will make sure local news investigative reporters are aware so they can produce a story so that other consumers can be aware of deceptive practices such as yours.
UPDATE: The team at Hello Fresh/Green Chef reached out to apologize and offered a full refund. While that is appreciated, for future consumers, please understand that it seems that once you select the first box, while you can make changes to that box within a certain window, that does not apply should you choose to cancel before start. I still am uncertain why that isn’t clearer on the site or why the promised discounts didn’t get applied, but to be fair, the company did what they could at this point.

I love this company. The recipes are all delicious with very few they were just okay but still good. The ingredients are all organic. Its a little pricier than other but worth it for what you get.
