Monkey Sushi

 I had another Ubereats 50% off pick-up order promo code, so I tried Monkey Sushi since their bentos seemed like a really good deal with a meat (beef short ribs or chicken teriyaki), a green dragon roll, 6 pieces of nigiri and 3 pieces of sashimi, 2 shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura, gyoza, spring roll, steamed rice, salad and miso soup for $17.95 and in addition to that, they had BOGO - so it was a super cheap deal for a ton of food! 
$17.95 Beef Short Ribs and tempura (top) and $17.95 chicken teriyaki bento box with tempura
The meats first: the chicken was rather bland and flavourless - the teriyaki sauce didn't add a lot of flavour for some reason (or maybe it was too watered down), but the short ribs were better - at least they were seasoned. 
The tempura box was huge: yam, sweet potato, broccoli, zucchini, spring roll, shrimp, two gyoza - I thought the tempura was okay (didn't quite travel well though), but the gyoza's skin was too thick which meant it wasn't that tasty even though they were super crispy. 
In addition to that, there was also assorted nigiri sushi including fake crab, salmon, shrimp, tuna and butterifsh (pretty good) and 3 pieces of yummy salmon sashimi and a green dragon roll (see below)

The green dragon roll was okay - the avocado was a bit mushy though. 

Gold Dragon roll $8.95 for 8 pieces (and part of BOGO - so 16 pieces total)
The red dragon roll was okay too, but the bento boxes were much better value for money.
