My sister and I hosted a 90th birthday dinner for my father. From my initial contact through the completion of the event, Chef Kim was responsive and available for any questions or concerns. Despite a snafu on my part, Chef Kim was able to pivot and handle the situation with professionalism and grace. The table setting was beautiful and the food was delicious. Thank you Chef Kim for helping make my father's birthday memorable.

Kim and her team were nothing short of exceptional. As an event coordinator in order for me to produce happy clients, I need an incredible team behind me. Kim and her staff were nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely delicious and she was very accommodating to the needs of the client for menu changes. Guests could not stop talking about how tasty everything was. What makes it even better is that she did multiple cuisines. ( Indian, Asian, American, Italian, and British). She works incredible under pressure and maintained professionaliam and composure with a very hungry large crowd. I am more then satisfied with her amazing service and extremely happy to have been able to work with her!
