Choice of ravioli or chicken katsu.

Katsu was tasty (and real chicken) - the rice ball accoutremant was awesome - surprisingly, one of the tastiest items I've had in a long time on UA. Given that, wish the Katsu was plated with something other than plain white rice - some noodles maybe? Just a little variety, but this is a minor nitpick. The rice balls are a home run -- they really should do that one on the mainland. Easy, cheap, tasty.

Room temperature nuts in a bag, and a wholly unappealing, ice cold roll in a bag. I'm guessing the jelly packet is the new fruit bowl?

Generic chocolate cookie in a bag. Served a cold brownie in a bag later in the flight. (Sense a theme?)

Excellent service. Zero complaints there whatsoever.

Flight review - 777-222A is back. Might have been the smoothest flight I've had in years - I mean, not one bump the entire flight. Suspiciously smooth, as if United built a sky track. Remembered why I never liked the IPTE seats....

Also the smell wafting from the soup can help with our reduced taste buds at altitude by bringing more senses into the dining, and the plating is easier because we have seen just how dreadful some of the food placement is. Another benefit is soup tends to make you feel more full which can be good because some of the entree amounts seem kind of small at times.

I’d think more like the pmCO soup courses. Cheap, easy, and delicious. Would be great to have those back!
