Chef Tran was amazing! Her food was delicious and email and text communications were prompt. We asked if she needed any help when she arrived and she said no and went to work. Loved that I didn’t have to worry about anything, she took care of it all. Would definitely recommend her/use her again!

It was a pleasure to have chef Trang cook for our bachelorette party. She is communicative and professional. Our group loved every dish she prepared for us. She was so sweet and even took a few group photos of us at the end of dinner. I would definitely recommend chef Trang and would love to work again with her in the future.
Working with Trang was amazing. We hired her for an intimate, casual family dinner celebration. She was very responsive and helpful as we were working through the menu details and logistics. The food was delicious and good hearty portions. Our family and friends were very impressed. It was fun how the room fell silent as everyone took their first bites of every course : )
Food preparation & presentation was great. Food was very delicious too & all our guests loved the menus. Chef was very professional & was very much willing to cater to our preferences. Will definitely hire again.
We hired Trang for my wife's 40th birthday. We had an intimate gathering of friends and Trang made the experience one none of us will forget. Her caliber of culinary skill and art was phenomenal. My wife will not stop talking about what an amazing experience it was. We would highly recommend Trang, and have to several family and friends. Thanks for an exceptional evening.
She didn’t fully read the request I sent her and then got mad about it and called me names in an email.
We had the pleasure of working with chef Trang and she was absolutely fantastic! The fall-themed menu she created was not only delicious but also beautifully thought out — every dish was a hit with our guests. The timing of each course was perfect, the presentation was wonderful, and she left the kitchen spotless afterward. Everyone raved about the food and the overall experience. Truly a 10/10 — highly recommend!
I hired Chef Trang for a special birthday dinner for my wife and I. Chef Trang was very responsive and we quickly created a menu based on my wife's favorite foods and flavors. On the day of the dinner, she was puntual and super professional throughout her prep, cooking, and cleaning. Our 7 course dinner was executed perfectly with amazing flavors and presentation. We had a high-end restaurant experience in the comfort of our home. I would highly recommend Chef Trang for your next special occasion!
I truly enjoyed having Chef Trang. She promptly responded to my inquiry when I was seeking a chef and offered alternatives that fit my husband’s picky pallet. We definitely plan on hiring her again in the future
Chef Trang Tran made the perfect meal for my husband’s birthday. She incorporated all of his favorite things and made a custom menu that he loved. She was so kind, professional, and the food was amazing!!! It will be a meal that my husband & I will always remember.
Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Chef Tran went above and beyond to create a personalized menu that was both thoughtful and delicious. She carefully accommodated my guests’ dietary needs—including vegan and diabetic restrictions—and made sure every course worked perfectly for each person. Her communication leading up to the dinner was outstanding, and she genuinely cared about making the evening special. By the time she left, my whole family was calling her one of our own. I can’t wait to book her again!
Words cannot express how grateful I am for finding Chef Trang!! I hired her to make a steakhouse dinner for four guests for my Husband’s 40th birthday at an Airbnb. From the day we connected, Chef Trang was so attentive, responsive, and she made the entire experience so positive and easy! Her food is PHENOMENAL, we were so blown away how good everything was! To top it off, she was so fun to hang around and we absolutely loved having her. I couldn’t recommend her enough. I hope to hire her again in the future.
