Jamie Liu5 StarI booked a private birthday party earlier this month with 14 girls ranging mostly from 5 to 9 years old, and it was a great experience! It was actually our first time there. I did some research online, communicated with Chef Tech via both email and phone call. Everything feels right, and then I just went with my gut feeling and booked the event, and I'm really glad I did that!
For the kid's birthday party, we chose to do pizza and cupcakes. Every kid gets to make their own pizza and two cupcakes. The cooking process took about 2 hours, and kids were definitely busy the whole time. Sometimes they were split into different teams in charge of different ingredients, (e.g. chopping garlic, shredding cheese, making sauce, and etc), and sometimes they would each work on their own pieces (e.g. They each make their own pizza dough, put toppings on their own pizza, and put icing on their own cupcakes.) After the meal was ready, kids had about 30-40 mins to eat and celebrate at the big table and just chat and relax. There was a separate area for parents to get together, while you can still see what kids are doing at the same time, which is very nice. We also ordered some parent platters to share while waiting. I didn't realize this in advance, that even the parent platters were made fresh during the party as well, so everything was right out of the oven and tasted amazing!
We had 3 chefs plus 3 other staff to help coordinate our event on the day. Chef Joseph and Chef JT were the primary instructors for our event, and they were so good with kids! They were both very patient and funny, and knew how to attract kids' attention. All the other staff are very nice and helpful as well. With so many kids trying to cook at the same time, it's basically like a war zone, but they were able to keep everything organized, clean, and under control. I'm very impressed!
My daughter and her friends had a great time there! This is probably the easiest party I've ever planned because Chef Tech pretty much took care of everything! The whole scheduling experience was very easy and pleasant. Matt was always very efficient in responding to all my questions. I'd totally recommend Chef Tech for private events, and we look forward to returning for more workshops in the future.Saturday 25th November 2023
Jan Phan5 StarChefTech and their team are amazing! We had a cooking team building event for my office at work here and it was a hit with my coworkers. They can't stop talking about how much fun they had! There were about 15 of us, we selected the Mangia Italiano menu, worked together to prep and cook, had some wine breaks in between, and everything came out delicious! Chef Teri and her team are experts...they were so attentive, fun, kind, on time, and enjoyable. We felt like one big family! Can't wait to come back with the crew. Thank you all again!Friday 16th June 2023
Tina Cox5 StarI recently attended a class at Chef Tech. It was so much fun! Groups made different parts of the menu and in the end we all got to enjoy the dishes, which were all delicious! I look forward to trying the recipes at home and look forward to taking future classes! Highly recommend checking them out!Thursday 18th April 2024
Becky Nimoy5 StarMy ten year old took the French class for one week and had a great experience getting a glimpse into how a commercial kitchen works. He got to practice his knife skills and learn some of the classic French techniques and recipes. It sounds like he enjoyed making sauces the most and eating the quiches. Thank you chef JT, Chef Teri and Chef JTSaturday 29th July 2023
Paul Epperson5 StarA well planned, organized and friendly school. The children's programs are engaging, and appropriately challenging to the individual skill level. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cooking school to get your kids started with it. The staff make it FUN, yet safe and functional.Thursday 15th December 2022
