Great menu and options for any food restrictions. We loved our experience with Chef Yashaki

Chef Chiba and his sous-chef were fantastic and we had a delightful experience in our home.

Our private dinner was amazing! From the start all the way to the end Chef Yasuaki was professional. He showed up on time with everything required and prepared an exceptional four course meal that my wife and I enjoyed as one of our top dinners ever. He was entertaining, kind, timely, and professionals throughout and cleaned up everything and left without a trace of having ever been there. Would highly recommend 11/10!

Chef Yasuaki was wonderful, warm and created a wonderful ambiance and delicious food! Would highly recommend!

Our chef was absolutely incredible. He easy to communicate with prior to our event, took everything into consideration and built us an amazing menu. He was discreet and professional and engaged with us where appropriate throughout dinner. His dishes were mouth watering and his presentation was restaurant level. He left our kitchen cleaner than when he had come at the start. I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking an amazingly delicious experience without leaving your home.

Chef Yass was amazing! He was so polite, quick and engaging. He presented quality dishes with fresh ingredients and explained everything really well too. I have a gluten intolerance and he took extra care of that. Highly recommend him!

Chef Yass was absolutely incredible. He and his assistant exceeded all of our expectations. This was such a fun way of hosting a dinner party.
