Koshin Bento is my new go-to spot for delivery or pick-up when I'm craving Japanese comfort food in…read morea bento box. This place delivers fresh, flavorful bento boxes with high quality ingredients and top quality cooking techniques. So far, I've had the wagyu yakiniku bento and wagyu hamburger bento. For my first time, I ordered the wagyu yakiniku bento via delivery and I was already blown away -- perfectly grilled, moist, and seasoned just right. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. The wagyu hamburger steak was also a generous size and juicy and flavorful. I've been to Japan 3x and this was exactly what I look for in a hanbaga steak. So glad this is around now! The portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality. The chef/owner is also private chef. Check out Koshin Bento's website to learn more. Koshin Bento is a win for the Bay Area. Since delivery prices are getting high, I do also recommend just picking up. There's tons of parking at that location. Support small businesses like Koshin Bento! They keep Bay Area unique and we need to keep the talented chefs like here.

I've worked with Johana for almost a year in San Carlos. My partner and I needed help with meal…read moreprep while we worked full time and had a new baby. Having someone to do menu planning and grocery shopping was a huge time saver and ensured that we had home-cooked meals to eat rather than falling back to ordering takeout every night. Johanna provided a wide variety in her meals. Most menus came directly from her, but sometimes I would request certain types of food or specific dishes she had made in the past that were our favorites. Johanna tailored her menus to meet my dietary restrictions (low saturated fat). She always left the kitchen clean with clear instructions for the meals and even some cooking tips along the way! Johanna came every 2 weeks but was flexible around holidays and vacation. Would absolutely recommend her services!

Background: Contacted Chef Johanna about preparing food for…read moremy small wedding in the spring of 2022. My (now) husband is a severe Celiac and so making sure all food is completely Gluten-free was the number one concern. The Chef was quick to respond and so helpful in brainstorming a potential menu for the event (we settled on Mexican). She then got started on putting together the recipes and gathering the proposed ingredient list. This is where the Chef went above and beyond for us-she sent us the full recipes and proposed ingredients(down to the specific brands) so that we could ensure that everything was free from gluten and free from cross-contamination (a shocking amount of spices are processed on the same equipment as wheat). She even was able to find a way to make gluten free Tres Leches and Tiramisu (our favorites). For our wedding cakes! Menu: Crudités with Green Goddess Dip Queso Fundido with Chorizo Pico de Gallo Chopped Salad Chili Verde Stew Slow Cooked Barbocoa Tacos Roasted Zucchini Sweet Bell Pepper Rice Spicy Citrus Black Beans Tres Leches with strawberries Tiramisu Preparation: The chef packaged up all of our food so that my sister could pick it up and transport it (our venue was 4 hours north of the bay). She provided detailed instructions for reheating the food and prepping the cakes. She even made sure we would have any additional utensils that would be necessary. She gave me an accurate and in-depth invoice that broke down the expenses and made it easy to work into our wedding budget. Food: WOW WOW WOW! The best part (obviously) was the food! Everything was fresh and vibrant and so so delicious! The Queso provided the best cheese pull I have ever seen and my husband and I are still drooling over that Tres Leches and my family keeps bringing up how incredible the dinner was! Additionally my husband was able to freely eat everything to his hearts content, confident that he wouldn't become ill on our special day. I cannot recommend Chef Johanna enough!!

I tried OTHER food delivery services over the years but the other food was not fresh, the portions…read morewere small, and a lot of it tasted like cardboard. I tried GOOD CHEFS a couple weeks ago and I'm hooked! The food is cooked the same day it is delivered and it is delicious! Seriously, if you order meals offered on different days of the same week then they come every day with your fresh delivery! It is packaged in a little foil lined bag with frozen water bottles. The price point is toward the splurge side for me but when you think about all the ingredients and variety you're getting for your health and how much it would cost for you to purchase those ingredients and then spend the hours making meals that -- at least in my case -- would never approach the quality of good chefs... Then I feel it is worth the investment. And, time is in short supply for me like most parents. Some of the meals were able to be stretched into more than two portions, like the beetroot lasagna. We've also had the tri-tip dinner and chickpea Florentine flatbread pizza - mwah delish! I especially love this service right now with two teenage boys who are hungry 24 hours a day and craving nutrients. The minute I finish feeding them and cleaning up they are back trolling for food like it never happened! Honestly, compared to my grocery budget this service will probably not cost me more than I was already spending but will now have ready made healthy food of great variety, and no waste. And way beyond my ability to put a meal together. Like, I simply am never going to learn how to make chimichurri. Which I just ordered for this week! And who thinks to combine watermelon, basil and feta? Yes, please. The offerings change every week based on seasonal fruits and vegetables, including vegetarian and meat options. They use organic where possible and all the ingredients are disclosed in advance. Support good chefs and our community members, who are actually the talented chefs on site, and purchase their supplies locally! Buy local!

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!
