Japanese and Korean food delivery in Gurugram: teriyaki, katsu curry and gochujang bowls, with their numbers

If you have moved to Gurugram from Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore, or come back after years away, the harder thing to find is an ordinary weekday lunch in flavours you know, planned for the hour you chose, that tells you its calories and protein. Gurugram has plenty of restaurants for a night out; this is about the other six days.

Chef Kenzo's High Protein meal plan has Japanese and Korean bowls on its menu. Here is what they are, with the numbers, and what to know when you are new here.

The bowls, and their numbers

These are bowls for an ordinary week, in Japanese and Korean flavours, cooked by our own chefs to a recipe and weighed. They are our kitchen's take, built for a desk or a dinner table, not a restaurant's omakase or a home kitchen in Seoul. Each comes on brown rice, quinoa or rice.

• Teriyaki: glazed chicken, eggs or paneer on a togarashi-seasoned base, with grilled vegetables, corn and a teriyaki sauce.
• Katsu curry, our way: togarashi-grilled paneer with a Japanese katsu curry sauce. The paneer is grilled, not breaded.
• Korean: Korean-spiced chicken or paneer, or gochujang-glazed eggs, on a kimchi base, with sprouts, spinach, kimchi vegetables and a gochujang dip.

The figures are the kitchen's own for each dish as it is meant to be served; a plate can vary a little. If you want the breaded katsu, the Everyday plan has a crisp chicken or paneer katsu with katsu curry sauce on rice. And if you'd rather have the flavours without the rice, the Salad plan has a gochujang Korean salad and a teriyaki one, on paneer or chicken, with no grain under them.

Building a week around them

Nobody wants teriyaki seven days running, and you don't have to ask anyone to lean a week on these bowls. On Set up my plan you pick the diet (Veg, Veg + Egg, Veg + Non-Veg, Non-Veg only), your proteins, then a flavour for each day (seven, or fourteen with lunch and dinner): Teriyaki and Korean gochujang are among the core flavours the list shows first, and Katsu curry joins them once paneer is among your proteins. Beside them sit a Thai basil chicken, a nasi goreng, a shish tawook, a Mexican burrito bowl and a Spanish chicken, and the plan's Indian flavours. You see the whole week, every dish's calories and protein, and the plan's price, before you share a phone number. A meal on this plan runs 31 to 49 g of protein.

After you pay, any day's dish can still be swapped for another on your plan's menu. For anything the menu doesn't hold, ask for a personalised plan on WhatsApp.

What to know when you're new here

• Where we deliver. To a Gurugram address within 8 km of the nearer of our two kitchens, Sushant Lok and Sector 66. Inside Gurugram the distance decides, not the locality's name; an address across the Delhi border is outside however close it is. The delivery area page checks your flat or your office on the spot.
• Who cooks it. Our own chefs, in our own two FSSAI-licensed kitchens, the same day, in the hours before your window.
• When it comes. Planned, and its rider booked, for a one-hour window you choose, on the hour or the half hour from 12 noon to 9:30 PM, any day of the week. About 3 hours before it, a WhatsApp message names the dish and the window. Lunch can go to the office and dinner to the flat, each with its own address.
• Your number. The form takes your WhatsApp number from home: start with + and your country code. Before you pay, we also ask for an Indian number our rider can call at the door.
• How you pay. Once, up front, by UPI or card through Razorpay, with GST and delivery included in the price on the plan's page. Nothing renews on its own, and a paid plan has no cancellation and no refund: if you travel, skip the days or pause the plan for up to 30 days, and the meals wait.
• Who to ask. A relationship manager, on WhatsApp, whenever you need a person, always within 24 hours.
• Allergies. We have not completed an allergen review of our standard dishes, so we make no allergen claim and cannot guarantee a kitchen free of any ingredient. If an ingredient matters to you, tell your relationship manager before you start.

What it is not

It is not sushi, ramen or a hotpot night; those are restaurant meals, and Gurugram has places for them. It is not a service in Japanese or Korean either: the site and our automatic WhatsApp messages are in English, and so are our replies when you write to us in English. What it is, is the everyday meal, in flavours you know, with its numbers on the page, planned for the hour you chose.

Starting

The quickest way to see it is to set up the High Protein plan: choose your diet, pick teriyaki and Korean gochujang among your flavours, and the week appears, priced, with every dish and its figures. A trial is three meals on the plan of your choice, at that plan's own per-meal price, and the first can arrive the next day.
