Chef Trang provided an incredible experience for our 18 guests. She went above and beyond to help us setup and make the party amazing. Food was the highlight, from steak, salmon to quail; we felt like we had a full gamut of wonderfully prepared dishes. Chef even helped us with rentals and decor. Dealt with surprises as they came up, really appreciate her making our party magical.

We had a private chef come over last night to cook tomahawk steaks, and she knocked it out of the park. Not only were the steaks spot-on—perfectly seared and juicy—but the sides were just as impressive. The salads were fresh and balanced, and the corn with bacon was addictive. What made the evening even better was her personality. She was funny, social, and made the whole night feel relaxed and fun—like having a friend over who just happens to cook like a pro. It wasn’t just dinner, it was an experience, and I’d absolutely invite her back again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Barbecue • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Chef Trang into our home for a private four-course Vietnamese dinner, and it was an unforgettable experience. Every dish was authentic, beautifully presented, and full of vibrant flavors that truly captured the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. What impressed us most was Chef Trang's attention to detail—not only did she craft a high-end dining experience tailored to our tastes, but they also thoughtfully adapted a few dishes for our young kids without compromising quality or authenticity. That level of care made the evening extra special for our whole family. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, elevated, and delicious. If you’re looking for a private chef who can deliver luxury restaurant-quality food in the comfort of your own home, I can’t recommend Chef Trang enough. We’ll definitely be inviting her back!

Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
