We recently visited to celebrate the completion of a project with a group of about ten people, and it proved to be a perfect setting for our celebration. The venue offers various team-building programs, such as the bake-off challenge, which we chose. With wine and other beverages available, the experience culminates in enjoying a full meal together. I particularly enjoyed the bake-off challenge, as it emphasized teamwork rather than individual effort, and was well-organized. At the end of the challenge, the chef judged the results and selected a winner, making the experience both interesting and fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to engage in small team-building activities followed by a meal.

During the class you are taught how to make 3 different dishes: an appetizer, a main, and a dessert. Each dish had its own station. You could choose station to begin with and move around as you wish. We were a pretty large group and I'll admit it was a teeny bit cramped sometimes and I wish there were more tools to use, but for the most part it worked very well. It was very fun and I got to learn few tips and tricks and I highly recommend it!

The process was really smooth and easy, Joe was able to customize the dishes (we liked certain sushi rolls and fishes more). Prices are great considering the quality of service and fresh fish!! The display was really cool and instagram like. The fish was superrr fresh- OMG - fatty tuna and yellowtail were the guest favs. The kids liked the salmon king rolls and unagi rolls too. The adults enjoyed the fresh Kumamoto oysters. Everything was kept fresh over ice . The guests was in awe with the fresh sushi, nice display, and welcoming vibes from Chef Joe and his team. Chef Joe was truly personable and a very jolly host, he even took a tequila shot with us! Pro tip: request extra fresh wasabi if you can.

I loved miso soup station which was an add-on. I must mention that the sashimi was very fresh. We didn't have to worry about reservations or time limits as it was all brought to us. The setup and travel fee was well worth it. Overall, the cute decor, special touches, and thoughtful service truly elevated our dinner. We will definitely use them again for future events.

This was everything I could have asked for in a cooking class…read more The Mama Thai experience was a birthday present from my family for the four of us to do together. I have a decent amount of Thai cooking experience, while the rest of my family had none. Still, we all learned quite a bit, and had fun doing it! Jirayu has a beautiful home, and we immediately felt welcome and at ease. She's been doing this for more than 20 years. She and her daughter Saorise had stations set up for us, each with their own propane burner, tools, wok, and ingredients. We chose to make green papaya salad, red curry fried rice, and green curry eggplant with bamboo and rice noodles. After settling in, we started on the first of our dishes. We worked at a good pace, and Jirayu kept an eye on how we were doing, providing feedback where necessary. We made and ate each dish one at a time. It is an understatement to say that they turned out absolutely delicious! By the end of the first dish, we knew that we wanted to come back and do a few more menu items. Through each menu item, Jirayu talked about the brands she uses that have a more authentic Thai flavor. We talked about coconut milk, fish sauce, bamboo shoots, and palm sugar to name a few, and surprisingly some of the best brands were not Thai! She has also done her research on more healthy cooking, finding ways to omit MSG and unnecessary additives, and to make recipes more vegetarian-friendly. She herself is a pescatarian like me! One really neat trick that we learned is to use a juicer to make curry paste from scratch! If you've ever tried to make curry paste, it can be a long process with a mortar and pestle. I've take around 45 minutes to do it myself, and it makes for sore arm and hand muscles, for sure. For green curry paste, we spent probably five minutes using the juicer technique, and the results were amazing! We had plenty of extras to take home. Jirayu was also very generous with her time and answered so many of our questions. We even got to play with her dog, Ziggy!

Not only was her cooking class engaging, but she was knowledgeable, friendly, well prepared, had an awesome Chef's kitchen, and cleanliness was as important to her as it was to us. We came here for an off-site to do some team building like cooking. This is not my first cooking class, nor will it be my last, but this is definitely the best cooking class I've ever taken. And I've taken them all. I've taken Italian food cooking classes, dessert cooking classes, and your good old-fashioned American Cooking Class, but this one blew me away. I'm not going to lie, we had a busy group that had to take business calls and work inbetween cooking, and Jirayu took it all in stride. She even had a sense of humor saying we were the only group should have ordered three entrees without any dessert or appetizers LOL. Our first dish was spicy crab which was prepared fresh by us, but was chopped up and cleaned by her. Our next dish was the pad thai. Our third dish was chicken Pumpkin Curry. We were broken out in two teams of two, and each team would prepare its own meal. Not to brag or anything but we had the best Pad Thai, even the instructor said that. I also liked how the instructor accommodated a vegetarian in our class, and was able to accommodate people who liked Spicy Thai food on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being wild and 10 being flaming hot. For those who wanted flaming hot our instructor was nice enough to take out some Chili's to make the dish extra extra spicy. She told us she does this as her full-time job, and I support her 100%. She's an awesome cook and a great instructor. Take her class you won't regret it!

But you are really stopping in for their tri tip sandwhich, at least thats what we did. And ordered THAT and then some garlic fries...oh and the tri tip tacos...oh wait, i want the COWBOY BURGER! This was our stop in lunch on a Tuesday cause my wige and I just happened to be in the area like that. And i must say that this place is definitely worth the reason. Their tri tip sammy is their staple order and promo off their website...which i thpught tasted pretty good, but i personally like my tri tip usually NOT in a sandwhich mode . Their garlic fries were awesome, very close to ballpark flavor. The tacos tasted very good and were presented well. My holler will be for that cowboy burger. At order, i asked for the meat to be medium rare...this burger came out fat! Had some onion rings in it, some bacon, and the patty was so buttery that i smashed this mofo in like 3 minute, 1 breath kind of ish...it was THAT good! ...washed em all down with a couple glasses of water.

I recently hosted a birthday party here, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our…read moreexpectations. For a venue that is more expensive than other options, the value simply isn't there. ​Here are the main issues we encountered: ​1) Strict "No Outside Food" Policy vs. Actual Food Provided: Their website explicitly discourages outside food, stating, "As our parties include plenty of food for the kiddos... outside food is unnecessary and discouraged." Because of this, we trusted them and didn't bring extra snacks. However, the actual food took quite a long time to prepare, and the only snack provided in the meantime was a single small bowl of pretzels per table. The kids were absolutely starving. When one table finished theirs, a staff member brought out more pretzels seeing they were hungry--only for him to find out after that they were strictly limited to one bowl, and the employee simply hadn't known the rule. When the other table ran out they weren't allowed to get extra pretzels! ​2) We paid an extra $37 for premixed lemonade (which tasted like a standard powder mix). The kids were restricted to just one small cup each. They were still thirsty afterward, but they were cut off from the lemonade and could only get tap water after that. ​3) This is a cooking environment where the kids are constantly using their hands to handle food. I fully expected the very first step of the party would be to make sure the kids washed their hands. Shockingly, not once did the staff line the kids up or instruct them to wash their hands before they started preparing and touching the ingredients. 4) We wanted to have an ice cream cake and they were unwilling to let us borrow freezer space for a small cake, stating that they did not have room. We know other cooking venues allow this and allowed an even bigger sheet cake. So were surprised that this cooking venue wouldn't have space in the freezer for a small ice cream cake. It was just an inconvenience as we had to go get the cake during the party. ​5) To top it off, the tip must be paid fully in advance.

Finding a caterer willing to work with your budget and time line is difficult. However, finding a company that does it all and makes great food is extremely rare. This is what KitchenPop did for our team event. Chay and his team were super responsive and open to new ideas. On the day of the event, the food was amazing! He even provided a separate dish for our team member who is vegan. Once everyone had enjoyed the main course, Chay organized a desert competition. With many laughs and much fun, the 20 plus people made Profiterole and entered them to a taste testing competition. I would recommend KitchenPop to anyone who is looking to have some great food surrounded by a great atmosphere. I look forward to the next event in which we can call upon KitchenPop once more".
