This private chef experience invites you to enjoy an elevated Japanese tasting menu prepared in your own space by Chef Timothy using premium ingredients sourced from a trusted local Asian market.

Begin with chirashi sushi featuring overnight-shipped sashimi including salmon, tuna, eel, octopus, scallops and smelt roe over seasoned Nishiki rice.

Fantastic 5 course meal with large portions. Chef Timothy rocked it. Our 2 toddlers are the pickiest of eaters and they went to town on the chicken fried rice and are on day 3 of leftovers. I fear the day in which we finally run out! Timothy also took the time to clean up and made it look as if he was never even here.

We had such a wonderful evening with Chef Timothy. He brought all the ingredients for our delicious four course meal that started with Thai Curry, then Pad Thai, Chicken Satay and then the grand finale of coconut sticky rice and mango. He is such a kind teacher and we enjoyed learning how to make each course and new cooking methods all in the comfort of our own home. We highly recommend having him over for a small or large gathering - you will be delighted by him!
