OMG!!! I'm all in!!…read more Are you a busy professional on the go? Are you just wanting to pamper yourself?? Do you just want good food?? All of the above apply to me, and I can't think of anyone more capable to service my personal chef needs than Chef Donna.. There is not one thing she's made that I have not absolutely LOVED!!! In fact I polished off a healthy portion of her Shrimp and Orzo pasta tonight.. It was TOUGH leaving some for lunch tomorrow.. (I will be counting down the minutes 'til it's lunch time) Hope I am productive in the morning!! **LOL** Seriously Donna's food is really that good. Delicious, healthy and very much worth it..

Masuyoshi is a tiny 5 seats kappo counter offers one of the most intimate and distinctive Japanese…read moredining experiences in Los Angeles. With no assistants and no separation between kitchen and counter, the chef runs the entire operation alone preparing, plating, and serving each course directly to guests. The result feels less like dining out and more like being invited into a chef's private kitchen. One particularly memorable piece was halibut nigiri topped with a small portion of its own liver. The liver added a quiet richness almost buttery in depth enhancing the halibut's clean sweetness while maintaining perfect balance. Another highlight was king mackerel prepared warayaki-style, briefly touched straw fire which add a subtle aromatic smokiness on top of the mackerel flavor. I brought the Raifuku Choseimai to paired with the omakase, this is an exceptionally Junmai Daiginjo with the rice polished down to just 8%, it shows exceptional clarity and finesse, with a hint of floral aromatics, subtle fruit notes, and a very silky texture. It paired beautifully across the meal enhancing the sweetness of delicate seafood like halibut while refreshing the palate after richer bites such as toro and wagyu. Watching Masuyoshi san execute every detail from slicing fish to finishing all dishes adds a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind the experience, definitely will bring a more variety of wine and sake to do a full pairing.

Also, and maybe this should have come first, but his food was also absolutely amazing. He worked with my husband for almost two months coming up with a menu that I would love...and I did. Wow.

Chef Peter is the real deal. I contacted him to cater our firm's holiday party this year. From…read morefirst contact to the two months leading up to the event, he was responsive and kind. He worked with me on a menu and he delivered my vision. Even with extreme circumstances (another vendor broke our garage door 24 hours before the event) Chef Peter and his crew took it in stride. They were on time and hauled their heavy equipment in and got straight to work. He was basically cooking/grilling on one side of our building (back patio), having to run back forth to the interior kitchen and sink. He and his crew worked SO hard that night. They are very professional. Every plate was perfect, they cleared the tables and made sure everything was spotless when they left. I also hired Jacob the Bartender (he works with Chef Peter) and WOW! Crafted cocktails and excellent service. Every person who was late to my party was sat and had a drink in their hand in less than a few minutes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with. Great bartender. I could not ask for a better duo for the night. Also big thanks to Tomas and Erick - their waitstaff. Amazing night they pulled off. I'm a perfectionist. Type A host. I'm very particular on how I throw my parties and Chef Peter surpassed my expectations & more. My entire firm will not shutup about how amazing the food and service was. The party was a hit and I believe it was because of the food & bar. I will 100% hire this team again for future events.

Now whenever I go to the market, I'm on the lookout for healthier alternatives and green veggies I haven't tried before. And may I also add she's a fantastic baker? Her vegan cupcakes are indistinguishable from non-vegan ones and they are quite scrumptious. Thumbs up.
