The meals were exceptionally easy to heat up and amazingly delicious. I ate half of them without the sauces and they were delicious . This is a real quality of life game changer.
The sauces are phenomenal and the food is very well prepared and only takes a few minutes. This is perfect for me because I never stopped to eat. I only wish I could just get two meals a week instead of three because I don’t eat a whole lot and I don’t wanna waste this fabulous food
I have tried EVERYTHING you can imagine from the larger factory meal prep services to more curated local options.
Chef Chris has something here - for the first time eating a meal service I had said out loud "wow this is really good" while eating some of the dishes served. 5 stars!
I've tried several meal delivery services before and NONE of them come close to the quality and variety of The Gourmet Animal. The meals are healthy, tasty, and varied. They don't look or feel like reheated, pre-packaged meals the way other meal prep services do. I look forward to dinner every night and I'd absolutely recommend this service to anyone.
This is by far the best meal delivery service that we have ever tried (and we have tried a few). My husband and I both love the food and look forward to it. Easy to reheat and tastes like it's freshly cooked from an exceptional restaurant.
It is not hyperbole to describe finding GA as an actual dream come true. We have long searched for seed oil free, ancestral, intelligent and yes delicious food options in LA with very underwhelming outcomes. Enter Chef Chris and his life-changing ways!! This has been the most powerfully healing food discovery we have ever experienced. Note-- my partner builds the best restaurants on the West Coast and I will still happily choose Chef's Chris food over almost any dine-in option. His flavors!! We swoon. It is like eating around the world. Never boring. Also it is far, far more cost effective than anything else you can do to get yourself quality nutrition. We are beyond grateful to have found GA! May all the people who deserve him, find him. And may we all know how lucky our city is to have Gourmet Animal. Props, Chef C!!
I had been looking for a high quality meal prep delivery, after trying several in LA and being disappointed. With Gourmet Animal I found what I was looking for! Life is fast and busy and sometimes you need help feeding yourself adequately but while also satisfying your inner foodie. :) Gourmet Animal DOES it! The quality of ingredients comes through in the flavor, down to the seasonings and sauces. If you know your food, you will love this service! Price wise it is very fair, considering the quality and labor involved in preparing meals like this for yourself, family etc. Especially in our lovely but very expensive city of Los Angeles. The Chef is obviously serious about delivering a high quality and tasty experience to his customers. The passion is there and it is clear in the customer service, personal communication and most important--excellent food. I certainly found what I was looking for here and I hope you do too!
I happened upon The Gourmet Animal on IG. This type of service is something I have searched for for years! I’m very busy, am a foodie, have recently lost 60 lbs, and want to eat healthy and clean. The meals from TGA are exceptional! An 11/10! I have been recommending TGA to many friends and people I work with in advertising. Amazing!
I’ve tried several meal prep services, but this one stands out for two reasons: the exceptional quality of the meat and the sheer convenience it brings to my week. The beef and chicken in particular were on another level. The difference was palpable in the taste and texture - tender and perfectly cooked, and the flavor is rich and fresh, a clear sign that they’re sourcing high-quality ingredients.
Beyond the ingredients, the preparation is top-notch. Everything arrived fully cooked, well-seasoned, and ready to heat and eat. Having a fridge stocked with healthy, great-tasting meals all week was amazingly helpful for my busy schedule. No last-minute scrambling, no takeout junk—just delicious, balanced meals whenever I need them.
I was very hesitant but excited to try this meal prep company when I saw the ads on social media. I consider myself a foodie as I enjoy cooking and eating all types of food from $2 tacos to multi-star restaurants. I love it all! This meal plan leaned closer to the restaurant meals I’ve had! The menu was well curated and I was able to mix and match the proteins and vegs together. Although I did the 3 meal plan, it was enough to last a couple additional smaller meals. I would definitely recommend this meal prep company; the food was delicious and restaurant quality.
This is the service I’ve been looking for. Waiting for. Needing. I’ve tried every healthy meal delivery service out there. They range from inedible to meh. The Gourmet Animal is chef’s kiss. So fresh. So high quality. So flavorful. And healthy. Thank you Chef Chris for creating this service. The best!
I’m so glad that I found the Gourmet Animal! The food is amazing! Love the variety and the delicious sauces. It’s like having a personal chef. I LOVE the food and will continue to support this great local business as long as I can. I’ll also spread the word!
The Gourmet Animal ticks all the boxes! The quality of the food is incredible, and it tastes amazing. The customer service is also next level. Yes, it's slightly more expensive than some other meal delivery services, but it's 100% worth every penny.
Meals are always on point, cooked/seasoned/prepared to perfection; never disappoints. Transparency of food sources and the high degree of food quality is much appreciated. ordering and delivery process are easy/seamless. Another meal service could not do better.
I've tried a lot of other meal plans but get tired of soggy microwaved food or endless streams of salads. Gourmet Animal provides fresh, flavorful food that feels elevated. I'm a fan.
Okay, so the headline is that the food is DELICIOUS, extremely high quality, cooked-to-perfection, and varied. The flavor combinations are exciting/interesting. The packaging looks very professional and the instructions are very clear. I also appreciate the multiple emails on delivery day so I know when the food will be arriving ahead of time.
I researched 15+ meal prep services and saw The Gourmet Animal mentioned in a Reddit comment--it just said like "Gourmet Animal. You'll thank me later." Thank you internet stranger. I'm writing this review because the people need to know---this food is really ******* good.
Quality food is so important to my family. We love to cook but don't have time to make shopping for and prepping food a priority. We travel internationally just for restaurants/food experiences. We enjoy fine dining often here in LA.
I love that Chef Chris is so transparent about where he sources his ingredients and that he supports local growers/sellers. Despite all the positive reviews here, I wasn't sure what to expect with this local service compared to one of the big meal service companies, but this is a no brainer. I feel so incredibly spoiled and lucky that we get to enjoy this food every week.
Menu is interesting, creative and quite diverse for a delivery service. Full of flavor. Tastes like quality ingredients. We have truly enjoyed the food, such a gem!
I’ve been looking for the perfect meal delivery service for many years and have tried everything!!! I finally feel like I’ve found it with Gourmet Animal. I love how tasty and flavorful their dishes are while also maintaining quality ingredients, and gluten free, no sugar added, etc. Customer Service is also immediate and kind!… My kids also like their food which is really hard to find! So excited about Gourmet Animal and highly recommend!
I’ve been a subscriber to green chef, sun basket and blue apron for years. They’re all kind of the same, but this is honestly such a step above. The quality of the food, convenience and quantity do make the price point worth it and now my kids are even starting to share the meals. Keep em coming!
I’ve been a customer of gourmet animal for a couple of months now. I’m extremely happy with the superb quality of the food and the delicious meals that are delivered every week to me. The value is great and the convenience of having quality protein whole food meals delivered to my doorstep
Is unparalleled . Highly highly recommend!
The best meals I’ve had in a long time. I don’t ever DoorDash now! Thank you!! It’s amazing
Chef Chris and The Gourmet Animal are truly exceptional. We've never eaten so well or felt so good about our nutrition! Each meal strikes the perfect balance of flavor, nourishment, and care. We look forward to the weekly menu and are consistently blown away by the creativity, the tenderness of the ingredients, and the thoughtful details in every dish. (The salmon green curry was out of this world! Easily one of the most delicious meals we’ve had this year, dining in or out) Eating healthy has never felt so indulgent and effective.
On top of everything, Chef Chris is incredibly professional and communicative. He’s responsive, thoughtful, and makes the entire experience seamless. It’s clear how much he genuinely cares about his clients and the food he creates.
We feel so lucky to be eating top quality meals and not stressing over meal prep or spending hundreds on subpar postmates each week. Our only regret is not finding it sooner! It’s hands down the best investment we've made for ourselves and our family. Thank you to Chef Chris and team for all that you do!
When I first started gourmet animal I thought the best part would be the food. I only eat high quality nutrient dense meals. But what I realized was the time it saved gave me so much freedom. People think about the price of the food but not the cost of their health. People think about the taste of the food but not the time it takes to shop, cook, clean or go out. This meal service has given me freedom both in time and in health. I love having meals I look forward to eating, trusting the source and still having time.
