  • 2-3 Course Plated Meal for 2 - Rob (ID 986841)

    Chef Sunny was great. Was very quick to respond and accommodating in finalizing the menu. The meal was delicious and Chef Sunny made sure that everything was living up to expectations. Everything was cleaned up and put away by the time we were done eating. Would definitely recommend Chef Sunny for your occasion.

  • 4+ Course Plated Meal for 5 - Mike

    Chef Sunny is a true professional. He contacted me within minutes of me accepting his proposal and he stayed in contact with me frequently until he arrived at my home the day of my event. He has the timing and execution down to a science.

    He used only the highest quality ingredients and the portions served were very generous. His five-star quality, scrumptious dishes were also beautiful works of art, which presentations second to none. His cooking literally filled my kitchen air with mouth-watering aromas, so we all knew we were about to have an amazing dining experience.

    Chef sunny is very personable as well, inviting any questions from us and our guests. He and his sous-chef served us every course at our dining room table, and they followed up to make certain that everything was to our satisfaction. What was even more amazing is that not only did Chef Sunny and his sous-chef served each dish, but they took away the empty plates, washed them and the flatware, leaving them and our entire kitchen spotless before leaving for the night.

    Our dinner was perfect and truly a memorable experience. I highly recommend hiring Chef Sunny for your next event, as his eclectic palette of cuisines, excellent customer service, and his personable demeanor guaranty a fun and amazing dining experience.

    Bravo Chef Sunny!

    I 100% recommend Sunny for ANY event you're hosting...the booking experience was smooth and responsive, we coordinated calendar invites, and the follow-up/punctuality was top-notch!!

    The food was delicious, Sunny washed all dishes after the event was through, and he got my young kids involved to make it a great time for the entire family.

  • Cooking Lesson for 6 - Lisa (ID 954312)

    Chef Sunny and his wife, Jenny were a pleasure to work with. We did a cooking class for 6 of us for a holiday treat. Sunny helped me find a menu that worked for the foodies and the picky eaters in the group. It was more of a cooking demonstration than a hands-on class but we did get several opportunities to help and try our hands at tasks. The meal was tasty. Sunny and Jenny left my kitchen cleaner than it was when they arrived.

  • 2-3 Course Plated Meal for 9 - Melissa (ID 946384)

    It was a great experience working with Chef Sunny. He communicated with me the entire time, was flexible and gave great feedback for the menu. He even upgraded the meats for me at no extra cost. He arrived on time and went straight to work, the food was delicious! My friends and I are still raving over the Brazilian cheesy bread and the chimichurri lobster! My kitchen was left spotless afterwards. I’m excited to experience his culinary skills again and have had friends who attended the dinner party requesting his information.

    Table at Home and Chef Sunny thank you. The Table at Home website is easy to navigate. Chef Sunny replied immediately with several meal options. In addition Sunny helped suggest the types of wine we might like to pair with each course. The meal it self was everything we could hope for. We can’t thank Chef Sunny and his wife enough for providing such a memorable culinary experience.

  • 2-3 Course Plated Meal for 6 - Sherry

    I highly recommend Chef Sunny! He cooked a wonderful meal for the 6 of us at my mom’s 70th birthday dinner. He was very communicative throughout the process, responding promptly to every message and text. He was made aware of all the food allergies and the dishes turned out absolutely delicious. Sunny made extremely yummy salads to start with, then salmon (one of his signature dishes), diver scallops, strip steak and the most mouthwatering macaroni and cheese dish ever for my daughter, an extremely finicky eater. She finished the entire plate! Each dish’s presentation was colorful and beautiful. Sunny’s prices are reasonable and fair while his ingredients are top-notch and fresh. He arrived early with his wife to set up and stayed until the end to clean up everything, including the dishes. Dessert was beyond yummy! Green tea ice-cream with pumpkin purée; it was our first time trying this dish and we all devoured it. If you’re looking for an outstanding, hardworking, professional, thoughtful and THE BEST chef there is, look no further, Sunny is your man! Book him today!
