His staff, with their beautiful smiles, pleasant conversation, perfectly pressed uniforms, and professional demeaner, were impressive as well. I had planned to use another caterer for my daughter's 35th birthday party this coming April, but today I left a message with Chef Ausar to see if Kitchen Magician Catering can do the party instead. I hope they have the date still open, but I know I'll have other events I will ask for Chef Ausar's majic. One item I know I'm going to ask for is the mac & cheese balls I read about in one of his reviews. That's my daughter's favorite!

The food was fabulous, the jerk chicken kabobs and Mac and Cheese balls were highlights. Beautifully presented and everyone gave rave reviews. The location (an old firehouse) was very clean and fun.

Thank you Chef Ausar for a wonderful event.

It was such a fun, unique evening and we would all highly recommend booking a cooking class with Chef Yvette.

It is simple for them to choose their meals on the website, and we place the orders for them. They ship on Wednesdays and arrive to Maryland the next day. They keep in the fridge for 10-12 days, and all my mom has to do is pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. They called tonight SO excitedly to tell me how much they enjoyed the shrimp scampi and raves about the large size of the shrimp and the hefty quantity of shrimp in each of their servings (8!). I really haven't heard her sound this happy since Covid began, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for this service.

My husband and I were delighted with the planning process. We received multiple menu options that managed to balance picky eaters, food allergies, pregnant, and breastfeeding members of our party! In addition to a 7 day breakfast & dinner menu, we also put together a grocery list for snacks & lunch foods. The meals were over the top delicious. This is coming from 2 New Yorkers who are accustomed to fine dining and spend a lot of their time in the best restaurants around. Every meal was professional, cooked to perfection, and appealed to all. The desserts were fabulous and I'm not even much of a sweets eater. For the 4th of July we had a TON of food - we ate it for days and savored every bite. Despite the fact that the chefs were around us during our family vacation, their presence was never intrusive. We enjoyed the pool, playing games, watching TV, and chatting. They respected our time and space. We are planning the same vacation and considered a new location, but are returning to Virginia for Ambient Personal Chef. You will not be disappointed.

The day of the event, they showed up early and sent two people to set up. It was a pretty big order and they seemed to really care about how everything looked and wanted to have everything go as smooth as possible for us. The food was good and we had so much left over- I may have over done it. The food was warm and they brought plenty of serving spoons and tongs. There was also a plethora of condiments/toppings like bbq sauce, sour cream, pickles etc. The vegan and vegetarian options were well received. The chicken burritos would have to be my favorite. My only complaint is that the sliders didn't come assembled so that was a bit of a hassle for the group. I would definitely use their catering services again.

For a fraction of the price you are able to get your favorite foods via drive thru and they seriously taste just as good as they do in restaurant. They have a handful of items in stock at all times (pizza, chips, beverages to name a few) but I recommend ordering ahead to ensure all your favorites are prepared to go home with you. Ordering ahead also allows to to prepay so when you pull in they hand you a bag and you're back on your way. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the at home prep is a breeze. My roommates and I are stocking the spicy sausage and honey pizza in our freezer at all times now. I mean, why buy Digiorno when you can have Richmond's best pizza in your freezer for $7.99!! My only complaint is that I wish they were open later! So excited for the short pump location to open soon.
