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.

I've tried countless meal services and take-out options, but The Gourmet Animal is in a class of its own. Every dish is not only healthy—made without gluten, sugar, seed oils, or simple carbs—but also absolutely delicious. It’s the first meal plan that truly fits my lifestyle and tastes. What really blew me away? The food honestly tastes better than restaurant quality. And all I have to do is heat it up in minutes! The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are globally inspired, and the menu changes every week to keep things exciting. Favorites like Chicken Tagine, Line-Caught Halibut, and Lamb Meatballs—paired with sides like Whipped Wuzu Yams or Snap Peas—feel like they came straight from a top-tier chef’s kitchen. That’s because they did! Chef Chris & Team have created something truly special here.
If you're looking for clean, convenient, and gourmet-level meals, The Gourmet Animal is it. It feels like having your own personal chef—and that’s no exaggeration.

The meals The Gourmet Animal delivers are delicious! We have been so happy with them since we started a few weeks ago.

A gem of a place . Great customer service and better food!

​This is the best thing EVER. Nothing compares to the time freedom this provides, there is no other way to get high quality delicious meals without the arduous labor of cooking at home and even then they wouldn’t taste as good as the genius flavors Chef Chris creates. This has changed my life-health, happiness and so much more freedom thanks to Gourmet Animal!

Yum!!!! The best!

​The Gourmet Animal is amazing! My husband and I feel like we are fine dining every night of the week. Every meal is made with quality ingredients, animal based protein and plenty of love. Chef Chris and his staff are not just making and delivering food like most meal services.. They are passionate about food and you can tell with every bite. If you want quality gourmet food, made with love from a serious chef, this is your team. The Best!

We are HUGE foodies as well as VERY conscientious about what we put into our bodies, so to be able to have both amazing flavors, and the highest quality ingredients is a dream…

​Delicious food. Very impressed with restaurant quality food in a delivery environment. Only reason I wouldn’t do it regularly is the investment.

Grass fed beef so good, haven't had anything close in meal delivery. They really know what they're doing and love the service, personable, friendly, exceed expectations every time.

When I say amazing! I mean like wow I feel so spoiled amazing!! It's like eating at a michelin star restaurant at my own home every night. Everything is sooo good. The sauces are so unique and just yummy goodness. Can't wait to get back from our trip to put in our next order!! Thanks Chris for what you do!

Basically ate at a Michelin star restaurant in my own kitchen every night and all I had to do was reheat the food. So good, so filling, so delicious, with leftovers to spare. Can't wait to order again!

​Better than any of my local restaurants and menu changes weekly so never bored. It’s like having a personal chef. My only complaint is that I would love breakfast, lunch and dinner daily!

Wow! The Gourmet Animal has been life changing for me. The food is incredible, super clean, and you can taste the quality.
I used to stressed every night about what to make for lunch/dinner, now I’m just looking forward to every meal.
I never had a meal prep that tasted this fresh, even after having to re-heat it ❤️

We're total foodies as well as people who are very mindful about what we put into our bodies...I really can't believe just how healthy and delicious each and every dish is! Even things that I thought weren't necessarily my favorites, Chris has managed to change my feelings about those! How he comes up with new things every week is beyond me, just try it, you'll be hooked!

Been eating his food for almost 2 years. So good both in quality of ingredients and taste. And chef Chris is just a flat out awesome dude
