The ANA Premium Economy service was excellent, and happy that they included ANA Lounge service in Haneda. Seats and cabin were comfortable enough for the long flight. Kudos to the ground and flight crew!
However, my low rating is directed at the ANA management which apparently thinks the food they serve on this flight is acceptable for the price that they charge. Then they have the audacity to claim "ANA - Inspiration of Japan"!
To be specific, the food was plain awful; I could not eat it, and I eat just about anything they put in front of me.
Over the past 40 years I've flown dozen of times between US and Japan with JAL (Economy, Business, First), China Air (Business, Premium Economy) EVA (Business and Premium Economy), United (Business and Economy) but this was my first time flying ANA. And the ANA on this flight served the worst food I have ever experienced. Their first "meal" was a tuna salad sandwich, encased in a cellophane bag that they tossed to me. The main course had two options and I went for rigatoni and chicken which looked marginally better than the other option which looked to be some kind of a meat dish. After one bite of the bland chicken and the overcooked pasta, I wrapped up the mess and waited for them to take it away.
Compared to other airlines that fly between US and Japan, ANA prices are not cheap, so I expect better than this. After spending four weeks of enjoying fine Japanese food, the ANA food service should be labeled "ANA - Embarrassment of Japan" ANA flight crew and its passengers deserve better.
