If I had to pick just one word to describe my experience with Chef Trang Tran it would be: “Incredible!” I hired Chef Tran for a very special dinner for my husband’s big birthday. We had a large group of our closest friends and family for this momentous occasion. I really wanted to give my husband a memorable experience. Chef Tran made that happen for us. She was wonderful to work with. For someone so incredibly accomplished, she is very approachable, responsive, and delightful. She was incredibly professional throughout the entire experience and made the entire experience easy for me by guiding me throughout. I had a vision and she executed it to perfection. Everything she did was perfection. She is incredibly talented and I told her she should write a cookbook (I want her asparagus soup recipe!). I was nervous about the dinner because half my party had food allergies or limitations (one person is pescatarian, another doesn’t eat red meat, another doesn’t eat shellfish, another is lactose-intolerant, you know the drill…). This was absolutely no problem for Chef Tran. Everyone had a dish that they loved and enjoyed. Best part: I didn’t have to worry about it! I was able to enjoy our special dinner and my husband’s birthday without any worries. Her team, Emma and Jenah, were equally lovely, professional, and delightful. I and my entire party are still talking about our wonderful experience with Chef Tran. I hope to work with her again. Five stars for Chef Tran! If I could give extra credit, I would!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • French • Nut allergies • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

This app is terrible to review on. It’s deleted my review 3x. So I will keep it short and sweet: We weren’t able to go to the French Laundry because of schedules, kids, etc. so I wanted to surprise my wife for her birthday and bring a touch of that to our house. Chef Trang Tran was exceptional. She made my wife’s birthday an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend her!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • American - casual • Italian • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you Chef. Service was amazing, food was unbelievable, and you were unbelievably amazing as chef and person. Thank you for making my wife's 40s birthday so special. We enjoyed every single bite of your food. (We had 7 course dinner and none of dish disappointed us. Me, my wife and our guest could not stop talking about how amazing food was whole time we were eating. 1000% recommend!)
