From the inquiry stage to the night of the cooking class, Hue-Chan and the Open Kitchen team were amazing for our 50 person company retreat! The Foodsmart team enjoyed the event and the delicious eats.The only note to be aware of is if your event requires a larger space, as the external staff for CHOMP were unprofessional.

I recently took a Thai cooking class at Open Kitchen. Hue Chan and her experienced team conducted the class. This hands-on class was loads of fun giving all participants an opportunity to cook several dishes and then dine together and take home leftovers. I highly recommend any of the classes being offered.

Wonderful experience! We tried the Traditional Korean Food TO-GO and it was AMAZING. Excellent customer service as well!

Hue-Chan and her team catered our wedding dinner, and honestly, it couldn't have gone any better. Unlike some other caterers, Hue-Chan's cooking isn't limited to a small menu of same old, same old items—you, know.... prime rib, salmon, etc. We presented her with a pie-in-the-sky wishlist of Central Vietnamese dishes and she not only took it in stride (offering thoughtful suggestions that tamed our over-ambitious lineup into a workable menu) but also knocked it out of the park when it came to execution. The dinner involved both pre-prepared dishes and items that were cooked to order live on-site, which delighted our guests and also ensured that everything was served with ideal freshness. The entire team was a joy to work with; they arrived on time, set up discreetly, and their friendliness shone through when they were cooking and serving our guests. The flavors were spot on, evoking our time living in Da Nang, and really helped make our special day even more special. Communication throughout the process was perfectly professional. Ultimately, beyond the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff, what really stuck out to us was how dedicated Hue-Chan was to ensuring that we were taken care of, so that we weren't distracted from enjoying the big day.

Hue-Chan did a fabulous job catering my wife's 65th birthday. We had 40 people and gobs of delicious food and drink. Her staff was impeccable, and a lot of the final prepping was done onsite, although you'd never know they were there. The service was perfect, the bar was tended correctly, and she made the entire event one to remember for a long time to come. No hesitation at all in using Hue-Chan and Open Kitchen in the future. And we will!

Hue-Chan and staff provided a wonderful experience for my event. Delicious food, attentive and very friendly wait staff. Hue-Chan was very helpful and responsive with suggestions for the event and was willing to make some changes to the plan a week or so beforehand. I highly recommend Hue-Chan and staff.

Open Kitchen catered a small 15-guest birthday party we held in our home. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. Working with Hue-Chan and her team was such a pleasure! The food was delicious and we received many compliments on the food from our guests. I HIGHLY recommend Open Kitchen for any size event. They will now be our go-to for our hosted events! Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Our group of 6 enjoyed a wonderful evening cooking and dining with the team at Open Kitchen, Hue-Chan, Jasmine & Ericka. The chefs provided excellent instruction and I learned so much. The result - delicious food we made!! Can't wait to do spend another evening at Open Kitchen!!

Living in WI I have not had the opportunity to attend one of Open Kitchen's cooking classes however I have had the opportunity to see Hue-Chan and her team in action. They do a stupendous job of making sure awesome hospitality is their number one priority. Details are well thought out, planned, and executed for each class and event. The recipes are often times unique, very tasty, and presented as a "work of art". I look forward to actually being able to attend an upcoming class soon.
