Reviews for Jersey City private chefs on Thumbtack

Rasheem Food With Flavor

Rasheem Food With Flavor

I booked Rasheem for my husband’s 35th birthday. My husband was so happy with his food. He could not stop raving about how delicious the food was and the presentation was outstanding. If you ever need a private chef or anything catered, Rasheem is definitely your go to Guy!

From Thumbtack Customer

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME! I was celebrating my 10 year wedding anniversary and I wanted to surprise my wife with a private chef. I have a hard time keeping a secret from my wife but everything worked out perfectly. Chef Gregory was prompt and the food was delicious. The presentation of his food was off the chart! He prepared my favorite dish and my wife's favorite dish. The portions were great and we had enough for the next day to enjoy. I definitely look forward to hiring him again.

Chef Vinny truly brought my birthday dinner to life. From the initial planning, where he helped me select the perfect meals and appetizers, to offering a variety of options, designing a menu, and creating an interactive experience by explaining each dish, the entire event was flawless. He even cleaned up afterward, leaving everything spotless. The food was incredible—delicious, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked with just the right portion sizes. I highly recommend Vinny for any catering or private dining needs. My friends were all impressed, and I’ll definitely hire his company again.

Dining by David

Dining by David

I contacted Chef David for a meal prep service for a very restrictive diet I am on. He was very responsive and got me sample menus that worked within my restrictions soon after & was so great to work with. I ended up hiring him for a private dinner as well and we requested a Thai vegetarian menu. He came over and wore a mask the entire time. He kept in mind the dietary restrictions and was so professional the entire service! He served us crispy taco shells with coleslaw and peanut sauce, red curry tofu, indo fusion curry tom yum soup, and curry fried rice :)
