Amazing food with generous portions

Amazing food with generous portions. Found the chongqing chicken hot pot to be too spicy for our family but tasted amazing. 1 pack would serve at least 4 people. The General Tso’s chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork were excellent, family favourites. The beef with black pepper sauce tasted good but the beef could have been more tender.

Very impressed

Very impressed. It's my first experience of WowzaBox thanks to an Instagram ad. Food is so delicious and easy to put together. Portions are good. It's authentically Chinese + reasonably priced. Just like eating out at a restaurant but without the cost! Perfect for midweek dinner as it's no fuss to cook. Highly recommended and I'd certainly be ordering again! 😊

Generally pretty good

Generally pretty good, good portions and good quality ingredients, however if you are cooking several meals for a large family or crowd it would be better to have a recipe card for each meal, as it was a bit of a pain keep having to swap screens on my phone which complicated it unessecarily.

Delicious, authentic food

Food was really delicious and, while it seemed a bit pricey once we'd added rice it was well under the cost of a takeaway. The kits had to be used within three days, and since we'd ordered three recipes it meant having to eat one per day so I wouldn't order too many in one go. The mongoloan lamb and sechunan beef hotpot in particular were great. I'll definitely be ordering again!

Wow or No Wow, undecided

Portion sizes are fine. First meal video shows multi colour peppers, we just got green. Second meal a few spring onions but far too many nuts. More veg would be good in the meals. Tasty, but they didn't wow me. Would I buy again? Probably, but only last 3 days in fridge, so to make it worth while, have to buy 3 meals and eat three days running.

Fabulous, delicious, such good value for money. We expected it to be good but we were surprised just how good it was. My friends and myself will all be using wowza box again.

Bought several meals and soup in one…

Bought several meals and soup in one order.
Web page states "No prep needed - just heat and eat."

What does that imply to any average purchaser? - To us it meant that the food is cooked and requires heating only.

Not So. It is a box of raw ingredients that require cooking from scratch.
Our estimated value of the ingredients is about £10, based upon weight and type of ingredients. Definitely Not large portions, as described by them.
Cost was over £50 inc. £5 delivery.

If we wanted to cook a chinese meal then we are more than capable of doing so, without buying raw ingredients from Wowzabox. But we bought their product based upon - "No prep needed - just heat and eat." Ideal for arriving home after work and sitting down to dinner with minimum work.

The dishes we received require adding ingredients, Oil & Water and cooking for a considerable time.

In our view we have purchased supermarket ingredients at a grossly inflated price.

Added to that, we now have to go online and Print out the cooking procedure.

Is this what they mean by - "No prep needed - just heat and eat."

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

Our website states that we sell meal kits rather than ready meals, as we believe in cooking from fresh. When we say "no prep needed," we mean that we’ve taken care of all the preparation for you—such as marinating and cooking proteins, cutting vegetables, and making sauces—so you can enjoy a freshly cooked meal in just a few minutes.

For example, with our General Tso’s Chicken, making it from scratch typically takes over an hour. However, with our meal kit, the chicken is already marinated and pre-cooked, the vegetables are pre-cut, and the sauce is freshly made. All you need to do is heat the chicken and toss everything together in a pan, allowing you to have a restaurant-quality meal in minutes, without any prep work.

We believe we’ve communicated the nature of our product clearly on our website, but we truly appreciate your feedback and will review our wording to ensure there is no confusion.

Thank you again for your comments—we value every opportunity to improve.

Awful

Not great, portion sizes are supposed to be for two people, they are not. No expiry or use by information provided. If you order the seafood expect to eat it the same day it arrives. Quality not great. I wont be using them again. And to top it all they call me to discuss the issue and then hang up on me when I didn’t agree with them, complete and utter clown show. Do not waste your money, you will end up throwing the food in the bin when it expires 2 days after delivery.

Hi David,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your WowzaBox experience did not fully meet your expectations.

Regarding portion sizes, we follow the guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency, and in fact, our portions are significantly larger than the standard recommendations. For example, the Gong Bao Chicken you ordered contains 320g of chicken and it serves 2 portions, whereas the typical recommended portion size ranges between 85g and 115g. Many of our customers have highlighted our generous portions in their reviews here.

With regard to your concern about the mussels in your Tom Yum, as explained in our email, they are blanched before packaging, meaning they are not alive. Unfortunately, we are unable to send live seafood products due to food safety regulations.

As for the use-by date, we ensure that it is clearly marked with a red circular sticker inside the box, attached to the order sheet, to indicate the recommended consumption date.

We hope this helps clarify your concerns. Our customer service team has already followed up via email and provided a resolution, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Thank you for choosing WowzaBox. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again.

Best regards
WowzaBox Team

Amazing Quality, Huge Choice and Exceptional Value

Wowzzars! Just finished our first WowzaBox and we have been blown away by the quality. The meat and prawns were exceptional and clearly sourced from the best suppliers. We were really impressed with how easy the dishes are to make and the speed at which restaurant grade meals can be served. The video instructions make everything so much easier. We can't wait to place our next order and can't quite believe what great value these meals are.

Tasty but issues

Order 4 dishes , 3 of which were chicken. Unfortunately all 3 chicken dishes were chicken thigh meat. In our opinion 2 of the dishes would have been far nicer with chicken breast.
The instructions for cooking would have been nicer on cards we got a print with a general scan code for you tube videos and written instructions. The link to the YouTube videos is a general list of all dishes...it took an annoying search to find the correct dish. ( Maybe it would have been nice to have a bespoke scan code for the order)
The order was packed well in sturdy box and ice packs unfortunately the chicken and squid pack was found frozen when unpacked....due to being too close to the ice packs.
Overall the dishes were tasty but with the minimum delivery for free delivery at £50 and our issue with thigh meat it's unlikely we will reorder.
