    Super nice guy, comfortable in our kitchen and totally flowed with our vibe. Very easy to plan with ahead of time on the phone. Food was great! Double protein, 2 sides and ana amazing pazookie dessert! I recommend

    Charcuterie

    I hired Carlos to cater my husband's 50th birthday dinner for around 20 people. He came on time, fully prepared, personable and respectful. The guests started trickling in early and he made a charcuterie spread for them to snack on while waiting for the dinner. The presentation was so pretty! Dinner was on time and looked beautiful. It was also delicious. All of our guests had several helpings. Carlos came later in the evening and cleaned everything up. Leaving leftovers nicely packed for us to enjoy the next day. All my guests fell in love with Carlos and really wanted him to come cater to San Diego. :) Highly recommend Carlos! He'll make your event pleasant, delicious, and carefree.

    Carlos was the taco man for my daughters first birthday & I would give him 10 stars if I could! His service was AMAZING. Not only was the food SoooOoo good but he had everyone laughing & made sure that everybody was taken care of before he packed up.. It felt like he was part of the family! We will definitely be booking him for all of our future events.

    Pretzel bites soooo good

    Chef Carlos was on time, well prepared with more food than We ever expected. We had lots of leftover. Amazing food, awesome presentation, on time, friendly, fun chef and his wife is so nice. Great food I would have him over to cook for us again anytime. Reasonably priced. This was a small group of friends 10 people Celebrating 60th birthday. He was amazing . Thank you chef Carlos

    The most important thing to me as a person who is seeking to hire a company for an event is always how responsive they are and what kind of vibe they bring to the table. It is always a plus when a company can deliver those two things as well as outstanding food. You would be surprised. It is not an easy task to achieve but man does Chef Carlos deliver. I was in desperate need of finding someone who could come in during cocktail hour at my wedding and provide something that would keep my guests from killing me before dinner but with limited time and no idea what to serve, I reached out to Chef Carlos for inspiration. First and foremost, Carlos and his wife Jessica are the ideal dream team. They are super responsive, which as a bride is a plus because you are already worried about reliability. They never kept me waiting and answered my questions quickly and thoroughly. And most importantly they were so friendly and so sweet to me. They needed minimal accommodations and were willing to work within the parameters of my venue's limitations. And they just made my whole bridal experience one of ease. I also always felt like I was a top priority because Jessica even offered to bring my bridal party food before the celebration started. Having vendors that truly care about making your day magical is everything. I'm sure at this point everyone is thinking that's all fine and well, but dang woman what about the food?! How is the food? Lol. The food was absolutely amazing. As I mentioned before, I had no idea what to serve but Chef Carlos and Jessica put together the most aesthetically pleasing charcuterie table I have ever seen. I was blown away by the sheer volume of it, and my guests went crazy for it. It was demolished so quickly. All night people were asking me who put it together and I was more than happy to pass along the source. I also had plenty of guests that went home and tried to recreate some of the jam and cracker combinations that they were introduced too. I can't wait to use them in the future for other events! Highly highly recommend.

    See all

    Tea was the best choice I've made for my wedding. She was quick to respond when I reached out…read morelooking for a private chef to cook for 10 guests. She recommended a menu that's suited for our taste and I love that she was able to balance Asian/western palettes. We also didn't do a taste test, but was lucky to snatch a few of her bahn mi during her special pop up- omg the second I bite into the sandwich I knew she will deliver for our wedding. I trusted her completely. For the day of wedding she arrived on time and braved the cold in the outdoors to cook us a coursed meal. Our picky parents could not stop raving about it, and I still think about the lobster mushroom dish she made. I'm salivating as i write this. Do not hesitate to book her. She's professional, friendly, funny, and made our day so special. Excuse the bad quality of pics as I inhaled the food so fast and the pics don't do its justice. Look at how beautiful her plates are too!

I met Chef Tea through a volunteering opportunity, and she was gracious enough to make the team some of her delicious Bahn Mi Sandwiches. Talk about love at first bite! If my mouth had a soul mate, I am pretty sure it would be the Bahn Mi. For reference, I was able to try the pork and vegetarian Bahn Mi. The umami flavors hit you immediately and is welcomed with the combination of fresh veggies and held together with a crispy yet soft baguette. It was Heaven by way of every bite! Another small but important point was how each sandwich was thoughtfully wrapped and had a list of ingredients as well. Days later, I was thinking about her sandwich, and I decided to try a Bahn Mi from a popular Vietnamese restaurant in my area. I was let down because it tasted so different from what I experienced in Chef Tea's sandwich. I repeated this with another restaurant weeks later, only to be let down once more. It is safe to say that she has ruined me for all other Bahn Mi's. If you find yourself in need of a personal Chef who will deliver the "wow" factor, please consider Tra An Cuisine.

Chef Allan left the kitchen in pristine condition and was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. If we're ever back in Big Bear, we'll definitely be booking him again!

He was versatile enough to plan a keto based meal around a Traditionalist eater such as myself. From the appetizer to the desert, everything was laid out according to plan. When Chef Allan and I had our inItial meeting, we discussed what impression was I trying to set and how best he could make my anniversary evening unforgettable for my wife. Chef Allan balanced his presence in the meal preparation to keep us as informed of the various dishes he was preparing without being intrusive in our conversation. The meal itself was a success! Well plated with an aroma that made all kind of tasty promises which it kept. The flavoring was bold without being overwhelming and each dish complimented the preceding one. We gorged ourselves! When it was all said and done, my wife was impressed by Chef Allan's culinary skills and grateful for me introducing him into our lives. She gave me a free pass for the next time a "hubby" moment comes up !
