Sushi-Centered Feast

Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty.
I’d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!

Chef Krong was warm and friendly. Her helpful tips made it seem like making our own sushi at home was easier than we thought! More importantly, she was able to engage both kids and adults in our sushi experience. We strongly recommend her to anyone, and especially groups with kids.

Vegetarian Taste of Thailand
with Chef Krong
in San Diego (Scripps Ranch)
We were happy to learn some tips to creating authentic tasting pad thai and green curry. Each dish we made was delicious. My only disappointment was I felt this experience was very rushed and quick because Chef Krong had another booking right after ours. I sensed she was distracted because of this. There was no time to take notes because she was moving us along at a very fast pace. Parts of this experience seemed like a blur to me.

Chef Krong is absolutely awesome—she made the whole experience so fun, informative, and effortless. She came to our home, brought everything needed, and guided us through an amazing Thai vegetarian menu that was full of flavor. The food was incredible, and we learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she was so sweet and patient with our dog, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Chef Krong was amazing! She brought all the ingredients and plans as expected, was on time, and the food turned out great. Made for perfect valentines day because we had a great, intimate experience, delicious food, and no stressful preparation required.
My wife and I both cook and we have experience in a range of cuisines. Chef Krong was great about swapping dishes we had already made allowing us to learn new recipes. The biggest standout for us was her descriptions of how to properly cut and use ingredients and demonstrations of the cues for what it looks like to move on to next steps.
Would book again 100%.
