Great food, no comparison with other delivery apps. I had a fantastic japanese fusion diner, with good quantity and super fresh fish. Can't recommend this app more!

Love hearing this! Japanese fusion is such a treat, and it sounds like your shef really nailed it. Thanks for spreading the word!

Really appreciate you sharing this! It's great to hear you're enjoying the variety each week. Our shefs put a lot of love into every dish, and our delivery team works hard to make it seamless. Enjoy!

Have used this meal service for 6+ months and I receive consistent, quality meals and delivery. When an occasional glitch happens, customer service responds right away, actively listens to concerns and receives constructive feedback in the spirit of striving to improve. Individual shefs respond to feedback as well, and communication is professional and friendly. Pricing is mostly reasonable. Menu selections offer plenty of cultural/regional options. I highly recommend!

Six months in and still going strong — love to hear it! Really appreciate you taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It makes a difference for our shefs and the whole team. Glad you're enjoying the variety!

This time you got my delivery right and I really appreciate you getting it to my doorstep and picking up the red bags. I'll order again.

We have been loyal customers of Shef.com ever since they started their service in DC. We absolutely loved the variety of ethnic food to choose from and the diversity of excellent shefs from around the world! But we are very disappointed recently when Shef.com has reduced delivery to just 3 days a week and most of the amazing shefs we loved seem to have left. They are promoting a subscription based service now, the the meal choices there absolutely lack the diverse flavors that we loved. Now we are looking for alternatives on the DMV area.

We really appreciate your loyalty and totally understand the frustration with these changes. Your feedback matters and we're working on improving the experience. Please reach out to [email protected] so we can hear more about what you'd love to see!
