Buona Beef Bites was as always delicious but could have been a little bigger for the price. The Buona Beef (Regular) was also delicious I'll try it with cheese next time.

The vegan beef was not as fresh as normal, not tasty, a small portion and I'm not sure I'll order again. I'm disappointed because I used to get great vegan beef from here. Please improve the quality of preparation and pay attention to order notes. because I ordered my vegan beef dry and it was so soggy along with other quality issues.
