Exceptional DIning Experience with Chef Hans! We recently hired Chef Hans for a family dinner at our vacation rental. From start to finish, he was incredible to work with and extremely collaborate during the menu planning process. Navigating our group's dietary needs was no small feat: we had a vegan, a pescatarian, two guests with severe shellfish allergies, and several enthusiastic carnivores. Chef Hans handled it all effortlessly, crafting a creative menu where every single guest felt fully catered to without compromising on flavor or presentation. The food was nothing short of amazing and we would use Chef Hans again if we lived in the area. read more

Chef Hans was absolutely amazing! He was so nice and an exceptional teacher to all 9 of us. He was patient with each of us too. He not only taught us how to make amazing sushi rolls, he also set everything up himself and cleaned up himself. He provided the fish and all the ingredients too, which were all very good quality. He drove to our Airbnb and we loved the private cooking class experience. We ate soooo much sushi and we even had leftovers from our rolls we made! He was so generous with the portions. So reasonably priced and excellent choice for your next private event. read more

We hired Chef Hans for my husband's 40th birthday dinner with 10 guests, and it was absolutely amazing! He created a 5-course meal that we all loved from start to finish. From the spring rolls with peanut sauce to the deep-fried sushi, the soup, and both main courses--everything was delightful. The grand finale was a light and creamy passion fruit cheesecake, which was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. Chef Hans truly impressed us with his culinary skills, attention to detail, and professionalism. And as a bonus, he left my kitchen spotless! I will absolutely hire him again soon. read more

Chef Hans - Amazing sushi! - Personal Chefs Near Me

Hans is amazing!! He was incredibly easy to work with while planning the menu and was very open to collaboration and suggestion. I told him I was vegan, but didn't want to plan a full vegan meal for the larger group, and didn't want my eating preference to take over the menu. He independently offered creative and tasty vegan alternatives to every dish!! He arrived promptly, was totally professional and experienced, we hardly had to lift a finger as he brought all of his own serving plates and trays and platters. The food was fresh and tasty and creative, everyone enjoyed the meal and the experience of having a chef take care of us. And, after the meal, he gathered up all his dishes, equipment, etc. and we didn't have to clean anything! What an amazing treat!! Would definitely recommend!! read more

Chef Hans is great! He curated a delicious menu and had a great vibe the whole time! We had an engagement dinner in a large hotel suite so I was not sure what plates or cookware would be available but Chef Hans made sure it was taken care of and created an unforgettable night. read more

Chef Hans catered a private dinner for 11 (or 12?) of us at our home! He did a fantastic job of preparing multiple lavish courses over just a few hours before our guests arrived. We have a mixture of vegetarians, pescatarians and omnivores and he was very easy to work with on creation of our menu ahead of time: creating separate vegan and vegetarian courses so that it didn't feel like anyone was left out one way or another. He brought chargers and some cutlery to help supplement our limited amount and ensure all of our guests had a full dining set! He also was very respectful of our place and left the kitchen spotless after he was finished - with plenty of leftovers nicely packaged and left in our fridge. Whilst there wasn't a single bad dish, my absolute single favourite course was the passionfruit cheesecake he had prepared! Pricing was also very reasonable for the service he provided. Would love to work with Chef Hans again for a future event! read more

He was very responsive and accommodating to any dietary restrictions (providing vegan and vegetarian options). He provided all the ingredients (fresh fish, soy sauce, shrimp tempura, and toppings), as well as dishes. He even cleaned up after, so it was completely stress-free for us! The sushi making class was the highlight of our trip. He was a wonderful teacher and we were all able to make 3 sushi rolls. He also created his own sushi rolls throughout the evening for us to share. Pricing was more than reasonable for the quantity of food and service. We would definitely recommend him for your next event! read more

Chef Hans created a beautiful dinner for a bachelorette party I attended this weekend. He was so kind, professional and accommodating! The sushi was absolutely stunning, and because I was pregnant he made sure to make me a plate of sushi that didn't have any raw fish in it. The sushi was followed by incredible salads and warm servings of chicken satay (with the best peanut sauce I've ever had) and cajun shrimp. We were treated like queens and by the end of the meal, the kitchen was spotless. Thank you Chef Hans for such a wonderful evening!!!!! read more

Absolutely fabulous all around! Hans was so professional and his food is out of this world! We had Hans come to an Airbnb we rented (12 of us total). This was the menu... Poolside snacks & main appetizer: - Fresh made dips with veggie sticks. Four varieties that were all super light and delicious! - Variety of sushi rolls as our appetizer. Laterally out of this world! We had two pregnant ladies in our group and Hans made them special vegetarian versions which was so appreciated. Main Meal: - Two salads varieties to start. One with burrata, arugula, and pine nuts was my absolute favorite! - Fresh cooked shrimp in a creamy (but very light) Cajun sauce and fresh bread slices for dipping - this one was a mega hit all around! - Chicken satay skewers with THE BEST PEANUT SAUCE EVER on the side for dipping. The chicken was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Also had these yummy asian rice cakes to dip in the peanut sauce which I loved. - Desert was a tiramisu with fresh strawberries on top. It was delicious!! Besides the food I was so impressed with Hans's timing of everything. It was like he read the room perfectly without you even knowing he was there! It was inspiring watching him in the kitchen and you could feel how passionate he is about cooking and his profession. It felt like we had a star from Chefs Kitchen! He was an absolute joy to have in the house for the evening and I will definitely hire him again!!! read more

We had a fantastic experience hosting a dinner party with Hans! Starting from the very beginning Hans was very responsive over email. Scheduling and choosing the menu was very easy.

Every single meal was very tasty and pleasantly served. I couldn't ask for anything to be better. read more

We met Hans a few months ago at another dinner party, and found out that he recently started his own Personal Chef business. We wanted to try something new, so we reached out to Hans to come cook for us and another couple. We chose Sushi and Hans provided a range of different options to enjoy during the dinner party: Salmon Poke, Rainbow Roll, Deep fried tuna roll, Unagi, Spicy Tuna and Passion Fruit Cheesecake. My expectations were exceeded, and the presentation was beautiful and creative! Hans arrived about 3 hours before our guests to prepare the meal. He brought all of his own supplies and was very comfortable having him in our home. He also did all of the kitchen clean up which made the event a breeze for me and my husband. Hans did an amazing job! read more

Chef Hans put on the most amazing birthday dinner for my wife's big 5-0 to create an evening we will never forget. The food was absolutely incredible - fresh, high quality ingredients prepared perfectly. The entire process was easy and convenient. Chef Hans worked with us to develop the dream menu, prepared everything fresh in our kitchen, and quietly made sure the evening moved along smoothly. The clean kitchen was the perfect ending to the night. I doubt we will ever host a group dinner at a restaurant again after this experience with Chef Hans. Can't wait to have a Chef Hans experience again soon! read more

We booked Chef Hans for a 15 person New Years Eve party. I contacted him a couple weeks out and everything was super seamless and went great! He was able to accommodate all our guests dietary restrictions while still organizing a delicious menu, brought everything for set-up/cooking/serving with him, and cleaned up afterward. I didn't want to do a formal sit-down diner, so we had a variety of sushi, appetizers, salads, and small plates that guests were able to serve themselves. Presentation was fabulous and everyone is still talking about how amazing the food was! A few favorites were the sushi rolls, chicken satay with delicious peanut sauce, salad with homemade pesto, yummy sliders, and an amazing cod curry that we ate leftovers of for two days! I would definitely book Chef Hans again in the future. read more
