Chef Aaron was truly exceptional when working our recent event.
The food was incredible, all being made by hand and one of the best chef experiences I have had! His team was punctual, responsive and quick to pivot/improvise when we had equipment issues in our kitchen prior to his arrival. Chef ensured that the experience would not be interrupted based on any challenges. Christine was also lovely to coordinate with and made custom menus matching our event theme, a great touch!
End to end, it was a great experience and I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely be calling Chef Aaron the next time I am in the LA area!

Chef Aaron was fantastic for my Japanese cuisine birthday dinner for a group of 5 of my friends! He began by sending me sample menus and then we worked together to create a custom one - he was open to my suggestions and listened to what I wanted! He was very responsive and communicative. Chef Aaron arrived right on time to start preparing and then timed the courses perfectly. My friends and I all loved each and every course and he was patient and professional. After he was done, he cleaned up the kitchen and it was spotless! 10/10 recommend Chef Aaron!
