Private Chef - Dumplings and Ramen

incredible evening! Chef Harold was phenomenal. He made the entire experience seamless, easy, relaxing, and fun. I would do over in a heartbeat.

We had a great experience with Chef Harold. Food was amazing, he was prepared, and a true professional. He also accommodated our food restrictions without problem. Thank you!

Chef Harold was terrific! We booked this somewhat last minute (less than a month from day of event) for a special 40th birthday surprise dinner with 6 adults (and 1 toddler present half of the meal - till bedtime). We have an open floor plan and we hanging out at the kitchen table and island while Chef Harold started preparing the multi-course meal featuring ramen as the main event. Chef Harold focused on cooking while we had our own conversation (sharing this because some chefs sort of entertain/talk while cooking as part of their shtick, this wasn't his approach - which we really liked for this occasion so we could enjoy ourselves but also in the background see/smell the cooking; seems like he is used to making meals where folks maybe don't even want to be present for the cooking). Chef Harold first reheated the appetizer which he had prepared in advance and then started cooking the other courses which took him some time and that was nice because it helped pace the evening with different courses throughout. We didn't realize the individual ramen bowls would be HUGE so were already full on the earlier courses by time it came (!) and had plenty of leftovers. The food was DELICIOUS and we learned Chef Harold is a really prominent sushi chef who has worked for a number of celebrities etc. We were a bit sad we hadn't picked a sushi menu (but that was for good reason - birthday person doesn't like Sushi). We learned all this while eating the main course as Chef Harold came over to talk with us for a bit after he finished cooking. He was very interesting and friendly and it was great talking with him. He brought his own plastic serving platters/utensils/plates that he then cleaned and took with him (less cleanup for us! Though we did provide some platters to him that we then had to clean after which was no big deal). Highly recommend!

Chef Harold came to our apartment and made us homemade dumplings and ramen which were incredible! He prepared everything and we had a great time relaxing and chatting while he cooked! Chef was wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great date idea, or even for an event or special occasion!

Chef Harold worked with me to create a dumpling class for my boyfriend and I and he made it so fun! It was hands on but we also got to watch Chef and relax and drink some wine, too. He also had us covered when it came to photos which he sent us after and was a nice memo. Next time, we'll have to book him for sushi - his speciality! Chef is very talented and it was a pleasure to work with him.

Chef Harold is an amazing chef and teacher! We all (family of four) enjoyed learning about the ingredients, the process and of course, the sushi! Would totally do this again.

Chef Harold was awesome! So friendly and knowledgeable! The food was delicious, but we learned a lot from his tips and tricks, and will definitely be trying to recreate the recipes on our own. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner special!

Our time with Chef Harold was absolutely amazing. From start to finish my girlfriend and I were wow'ed. If you like sushi and want to learn from a pro, this is the experience for you!

Harold was entertaining and professional and his food was perfect!

The night Harold was fantastic! We had much fun and learnt a lot around Sushi making and also his story. A perfect gift for a couple night! We will book other classes with Harold, thank you!

We absolutely loved our couples sushi cooking class with Chef Harold! After he made us spicy salmon cupcakes and spicy tuna tacos (his own invention), we learned how to make hand rolls, and roll our own sushi. He’s an excellent teacher, and told us a bit about his career. He brought everything, including the pots and pans! And then he cleaned up the kitchen and shared photos and videos of our evening. It was delicious and there was plenty for leftovers.

Chef Harold was great. We had a really wonderful time celebrating my husband’s birthday. We’re a big fan of sushi and are really glad to have finally gotten some hands on experience!

We had the best time with Chef Harold! We booked the sushi and ramen experience and the food was incredible - you can tell he's so passionate about his work. Chef Harold has a wealth of knowledge and experience and offered to teach us some tips and tricks as he prepared the food which we loved. He was very accommodating about our dietary restrictions as well which we so much appreciated. The food and overall experience with Chef Harold was a highlight of our summer. We'll definitely be booking again soon!

Chef Harold is the best! DELICIOUS sushi and ramen (my favorite). Chef Harold was entertaining and educational- he’s absolutely a professional. We will be booking Harold again and suggesting to our friends and family for events to come. Book him now!
