The oysters were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the oysters for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but the oysters were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less soy sauce next time.
