    We used IDK Eatz to cater food for a birthday party and were very happy with the spread. Firstly, what drew me to them was their presentation and menu that is out of the box. Having eaten so much indian food in the bay area we loved the creative menu options from IDK. Jai is great and gave us suggestions based on menu and number of people. The staff that worked were kind and lovely to work with. Reservations, and their co-ordinating staff was on point with communication. We went home as very happy hosts, and will highly recommend IDK!

    We ordered from IDK Eatz for our son's first birthday. Since the theme was Mexican fiesta, it was only fitting that we order fusion tacos from IDK. Chef Jai knows what he is doing, the fusion tacos were on point. His Cholae were probably the best I had in my life! The whole combination of tortilla with cholae and butter chicken/ paneer went really well and was delicious. Our guests were so happy with the food. The service was prompt and communication with Nicolana was easy. We are sure going to cater food from IDK Eatz again.

    With our concerns with dining outside due to COVID, we wanted to replicate an upscale restaurant dining experience at home. We invited Chef Jai to cook dinner for the two of us for our anniversary. Chef Jai was very friendly and give us the dining experience we were looking for. Chef Jai prepared and served us a very contemporary Indian fusion 6 course meal. He created multiple tapa style appetizers including veg dumpling, veg tulips, sag makki canapes and sliders. The main course was Indian fusion tacos with Mexican fair and finally fig cardamom yogurt as dessert. Every item served was deliciously prepared and tastefully served. We have eaten Indian fusion food at other places but always Indian fusion food implied mellowed down flavors. Chef Jai brings the full kick of Indian flavors to fusion food, which we very much enjoyed. We are thankful to Chef Jai for coming to our house even during COVID situation and giving us a memorable dining experience.

We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

We found him on yelp and loved his reviews and also loved how unique his menu was as it had Korean and Chinese fusion which was so perfect for our wedding. The food is absolutely incredible and we literally got so many compliments from our guests saying the food was the best food they've ever had at any wedding. Chef ken was also very helpful in helping us pick out the dish wear and arranged all of the rental dishware which made the process easy. The only problems we had with Chef Ken was that he can often be non-responsive and difficult to get in touch with through email. He's definitely busy and has multiple private events going on but at times we had to really hunt him down. It was difficult also because his secretary went on vacation around the time of the wedding so I think he was managing everything on his own. Also, I would also get everything written in bullet points for Chef Ken as he's definitely busy and it's easy for him to forget things we agreed on such as quantity of amount of certain dishes, rental numbers, types of food we ordered, deduction of the initial taste testing, etc. Small things but it changes the overall invoice and required a bunch of redoing of the invoices. He also said he would help us come up with a custom drink menu for our wedding which we ended up scrambling at the end to make our own menu. Again, I think there was just too much for Chef Ken to do on his own without extra help. Overall though, the wedding day went extremely smoothly with no issues. The staff he hired was solid and exceptional. The bartenders were awesome and fun. The food including the entrees, dessert and appetizers were amazing and it was unanimous from the guests that the food at our wedding was by far the best from any other wedding they've been to. Highlights was everyone loves the Miso Chilean Sea bass, Korean Street Tacos, Poke Tacos and the Tomahawk steak. My personal favorite was the Garlic Noodles!

    Chef Eric was OUTSTANDING! I hired him for a single night, two-person dinner and he was wonderful…read more He was super communicative and very flexible with the menu items, providing about 5 options per course. Chef Eric brings all of the ingredients and a lot of his own supplies- he just needs a working stove/oven and a bit of fridge space to work his magic! He brought some of his own fancy plateware for the main course and dessert, and used our forks, drink ware and other plates. In terms of timing, he arrives about 1-1.5 hours before service to set up and get ready. For service, he brought out fresh utensils and presented each dish to us! We're big foodies and he was nice enough to answer some of our questions about the food, technique, and his background. My partner and I started with a little gem salad that was truly stunning and delicious! My partner mentioned it was the best food to be served on our plates! The salad was then followed by a warm and yummy spring pea and asparagus risotto. I had the roasted chicken roulade stuffed with herbs with romesco sauce and veggies, and my partner had the steak au poivre with pomme puree and veggies. Both of these were great but we both agreed the steak was our fav! For dessert, we had the strawberry shortcake which was "not too sweet" and a perfect and light way to end the night! What delighted us the most was that Chef Eric had cleaned the whole kitchen (loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the stove, emptied the dish rack), AND PROVIDED LEFTOVERS! Seriously so stoked to eat more of the salad and strawberry shortcake. All in all, this was an awesome experience and we would definitely contact Chef Eric again for another dinner!

    I found Chef Debbie from a Facebook recommendation and gave her a try -- now we order two meals and…read moresalads from her almost every week! Her food is healthy, but not so healthy it's not delicious, well-portioned, so fresh, and more importantly it's SO CONVENIENT! This isn't an online ordering anytime service - she has curated menus every week which she can tailor to, or even prepare for, your family! She starts with a consultation to understand your needs and present her philosophy. Then you place your order Monday, and it appears on your doorstep the following Sunday. On top of the convenience (the food appears clearly labeled and conveniently packaged up in compostable containers) what I love is that it's gourmet, freshly prepared, local, seasonal, and often organic food! It's what I want to put in my and my kids bodies so I feel my best, but I don't have any time to cook it myself. It really satisfies my need for variety, without having to spend tons on takeout every week. Some highlights include her Tajin Steak tacos with Mango Salsa, her Moroccan Lemon Chicken with rice pilaf, and she has an excellent kampachi fish on her build-your-own menu that I haven't had anywhere else. Get it with the red pepper sauce! Unlike meal kits like Blue Apron where it was never quite enough food, and of course you have to cook it, her portions have been on point! You just tell her how many people you're feeding, how many kids, and she seems to always get it right! Finally, you can order as much or as little as you want. She has hearty salads that change every week; juices; a la carte proteins, starches, and veggies; and breakfasts and desserts! Just order how much your family needs each week, or better yet, let her do it! It's not a budget option, but when you calculate the mental time you save, the quality ingredients, and then compare it to a DoorDash takeout delivery with delivery fees for the variety she provides - it's a great value and better food, without waiting!

Highlights: This is a great option for a private dinner. We did it for New Year's Eve and it was perfect to not have to travel or cook. The food was nice and flavorful. Chef Ray and Emily did a great job communicating; Ray was actually considerably early for our reservation, which wasn't an issue but I could see it being more of one if we had a larger group. Lowlights: This was likely just an oversight, but the Chef did not ask us what temp we wanted our filets cooked, resulting in the meat being slightly overdone to our liking. The protein portions were, in our opinion, rather light, especially compared to a sit-down hibachi restaurant. On the flip side though, we all ordered extra fried rice and had a ton left over. The flavor of the rice and salad was top-notch. While we had no ill effects, I have to say we were a little put off by the cleanliness levels of both the grill and the cooler the Chef brought the pre-prepped food in. It brought up some questions as to how the food was prepared beforehand and whether it adhered to proper safety and hygiene standards. The grill also could have used a good clean. Like I said, we had no ill effects from the food but the sight of the dirty cooler, etc was rather off-putting. Overall, I think we'd use Let's Hibachi again, and the more people you have, the better priced it is!
