About Mabuhay Austin

Mabuhay means “welcome” in Tagalog, one of the many languages in the Philippines. It can be synonymous with aloha in Hawaii. I being a presence of home. The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs introduced me to various services from Sunday Brunches, steakhouses, brasseries, and larger scale events such as weddings. Uchiko/Uchi in Austin helped me find my way through Asian Fusion. My time as a sushi chef there is a great segue to personal cheffing as it taught me how to read a room, and how to serve my client better.

I could not recommend more enough. This is one of the best chefs we have ever had. He was fun, respectful, and got things done quick!!! Please book him immediately, if you don’t you will regret it!!

I hired Chef Dan to prepare a dinner for one of the nights on our bachelorette trip in Austin for a dear friend. He was quick in responding and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. The food was absolutely delicious and the service made us all feel pampered. Dan even brought a special gift for the bride-to-be which was very sweet and above and beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend booking Mabuhay Austin for your private event!!

We had an amazing omakase dinner with a filipino touch. Everything he served was tailored to our taste. This was better than going out to a restaurant and I would definitely hire him again. The fish he got was so fresh and delicious. My husband and I are really picky about food and this was a 10 out of 10 experience. Thank you!

Chef Dan was professional and responsive from the start. He catered our menu exactly to our liking. We enjoyed every entree, and the Asian fusion flare we requested. We look forward to using his service again next month.

Our experience with Dan was exceptional. Every detail of the meal was well thought out and prepared to perfection. He adapted my dietary preferences into an amazing 4 course meal. I will undoubtedly hire him again for any party size.

Had a birthday party with 7 ladies. Rene did a fabulous job. The food was all delicious. I highly recommend Eversoul.

We had a great time learning at our home with Dan! Not only did we learn some great new recipes with fresh ingredients we also learned techniques to use in the kitchen. Who knew sweating vegetables or chopping could be easier than just reading a how to from a recipe? We will definitely ask Dan back for more lessons soon!

I wanted a special night for husband’s birthday and Chef Dan and team did not disappoint. The food was amazing. Service was outstanding. Wouldn’t have changed a thing. We did an Asian fusion cuisine with sushi rolls, noodles, beef satay and grilled squash. Everyone complimented the food and the experience. We will be calling Chef Dan for our next event. Oh, and they cleaned the kitchen better then it started. Amazing!

Dan made delicious food and was very patient with us during our sushi making lesson

Dan is truly wonderful and came early so that there would be no rush . He spent time to get to know us and able to accommodate our friend’s allergies without compromising the flavor. He paid attention to what cooking utensil we have and what plates that we would be using. We changed the menu after we accepted his first proposal and he was more than happy to accommodate without making me feel bad. I like the fact that he charges for his service only and I will pay for the food as I’d rather to have better quality of food that he would select than to shop and be mindful of the profit margin. His mushroom risotto was so delicious!! He cleaned really really well without much noise while we were enjoying our dinner. I didn’t need to do any cleaning at all but to press START on my Dishwasher.
