Chef Henry and his team were such a pleasure to work with! From the very beginning, the communication and planning process was so easy and seamless. I chose the 3 course menu for my husband's 40th bday celebration, and it was a HUGE hit with our family. We had so many different flavor preferences at the table, and somehow every dish was loved by everyone! Chef Henry and his team were extremely welcoming, organized, professional, and just brought such good vibes. You can tell they're truly about their business and take a lot of pride in what they do. I was especially happy to have them recommended to us because the food was incredible, with the ingredients and proteins being locally sourced. The braised short rib was sooo tender, it still got me thinking about it lol Everything felt like clean, satisfying eating without sacrificing flavor. Every bite was so flavorful! It's very clear how much passion Chef Henry and his team have for food, hospitality, and creating an elevated dining experience for their guests. And I have to mention how impressed I was with the cleanup. They were so organized and respectful of the space, and they cleaned everything up so well that you honestly wouldn't have even known a whole team had been in our home! That level of professionalism really stood out to me. A definite must try! We absolutely loved everything and are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Chef Henry and his team. Highly recommend! read more

We will be booking Chefs Way for any future catering needs! read more

Chef Henry came over to teach us how to make garganelli pasta and prepared an amazing meal for us and our friends. It was fun and relaxing to enjoy an evening without having to cook or clean. Our friends (with a new baby and 2 other kids) said it was the most relaxed they have been since the baby was born and the birthday boy said it was way better than going out to eat since we had the whole evening to hang with our friends and not feel rushed to leave a restaurant. Thank you Chefs Way Catering! read more

Chef Henry and his team delivered an unforgettable experience for our private dinner of 12 celebrating a 40th birthday. The food was *beyond* delicious, and each dish showcased exclusively sourced, high-quality ingredients that took the evening to a whole new level. The Fiscalini cheddar in the shrimp and grits was a standout, the Bloody Butcher Cornbread was rich and so full of flavor (I think we were all considering licking our plates clean), the Roasted Root Vegetable Salad was beautifully balanced (it had the most delicious Thumbelina carrots I've ever tasted), the 24-hour braised oxtails were melt-in-your-mouth tender with the best glaze to it, and the banana pudding with crumbled cookie was the perfect sweet (but not too sweet) finale. The vibe? Immaculate. Chef Henry and his team struck the perfect balance between being fancy and elevated (yes, that kind of elevated ) while keeping everything approachable and fun. He explained each dish with so much care and thoughtfulness, making the experience even more special. The pacing was flawless--not rushed, but perfectly timed to savor each course, digest, and enjoy some conversation. We got to take home what we couldn't finish and I have been counting down the hours to my leftovers dinner tonight If you're looking for an extraordinary and absolutely delicious culinary experience, Chef Henry and Chefs Way Catering is IT. Highly, highly recommend! read more

An Incredible Birthday Gift with Chef Henry! For my birthday, my wife gave me one of the best gifts I could ask for: a private cooking session with Chef Henry. Knowing my passion for food and my struggles with mastering pasta-making, she hired Chef Henry to not only teach me but also to prepare three stunning pasta dishes for us. The experience exceeded all my expectations. Chef Henry's pasta was truly exceptional--better than anything we've ever had in a restaurant and even surpassing the pasta I've enjoyed during multiple trips to Italy. As a foodie, I was blown away by the quality and flavor. It was, without a doubt, the best pasta I've ever had. Beyond his culinary skills, Chef Henry is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He was patient, kind, and a pleasure to spend time with. It felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend rather than meeting someone for the first time. Whether you're looking for a unique culinary experience or need top-notch catering, I highly recommend Chef Henry. His talent and warm personality make him an outstanding choice for any occasion. He also cleans everything. Packs up and everything. OH and he prepped pasta for us to have the next day and it was awesome. He taught us well. He also knows other cuisines. LAST: he was kind enough to leave us with his expensive olive oil and his pecorino toscana! read more

For the second time, Chef Henry and his crew created a delicious meal for a special occasion at my home! I highly recommend him for any event, of any size. We had several dietary restrictions in our group he had to work around (gluten, soy, onion, to name a few), and he did a brilliant job without sacrificing any flavor - every person could eat every offering! My only complaint was there were not enough left overs, which is really the best complaint to have with my friends and family. Of special note: the rice cake with wild mushrooms and sesame crusted ahi tuna were truly amazing starters. The New York Strip main was also a giant hit, served with roasted veg and creamy potato. I've attached a couple pictures of my favorites. If you need him, book early! read more

We had a small intimate wedding with just small group of people at the Berkeley Rose Garden last minute and we hired Chef Henry to cater our little happy hour after the ceremony. The food was so amazingly delicious. It was so nice walking up the aisle and walked out straight to Chef Henry food table and start munching. Everything was so delicious and look so very elegant but my personal favorite was the mini chicken waffles. They are to die for. Thank you again Chef Henry and I can't wait to book you again for our next event. read more

Chef Henry makes delicious food! My partner wanted to do something special for my 40th birthday party a couple years ago, and had Henry come and make some delicious (heavy) appetizers for us and our guests. To give you an idea: chicken and waffle skewers, blue corn bread, korean short ribs, brisket sliders. Everything was incredible. Henry came to our house with the raw materials partially prepared, and finished everything in our kitchen, setting up a beautiful display of food for us all to eat. Two years later, when my partner was also hitting a milestone birthday, we invited him back, and he somehow exceeded our expectations again, along with Rodney, who assisted him (and me, too, as I was setting up for the party). Beyond the food, Henry is just a really kind dude, genuinely loves creating delightful food, and is fun to chat with here and there as he's preparing things. In a couple weeks he is going to cater an after-party for our wedding, and we're super excited. read more

I can't believe this review sat in my drafts for so long! If you're looking to have a delicious and beautiful meal catered, look no farther! Chef Henry was not only professional and prompt, he is an exceptional chef whose food is sure to WOW your dinner mates. Chef Henry worked with my budget and had a variety of menus/options to select from to ensure the meal was pleasing to all involved. We typically have a tough crowd and many choose to pass on the meals we have catered in lieu of something more to their tastes. NOT the case here - almost everyone had a second helping of at least one of his dishes. Everyone left FULL and happy!! We all ate so quickly that I didn't have a chance to grab a better photo of the spread! Overall, great guy, great service, and DELICIOUS food! Thank you, Chef Henry! read more

WOW! The caterers were by far and away the BEST part of my wedding, bar none. They were so friendly and inviting, and the quality of the food absolutely blew me away. We requested a Mexican spread: taquitos for appetizers, and for dinner, fresh tamales and a loaded taco bar. Every element was incredible and the guests were raving about it all night. We also ordered a tres leches cake and churros from a different company, and even though it was not their responsibility, they happily cut the cake and churros for us and served everything - the service was totally above and beyond. They arrived on time and were polite, prepared, and professional. Their vibes were immaculate and our guests had fun interacting with them! Since our wedding, my husband and I have spent the last few days gushing about how great they were, lol. I even had my friends texting me about how good everything was. Seriously, these people deserve way more than what we paid. I'm so happy and grateful they were a part of our special day. I won't forget them!! read more

Chef Henry is amazing! He came to my house this weekend and cooked a 5 course dinner paired with wine for 10 people. He developed the menu and I let him run with his ideas because they were excellent. He brought all of his own cookware and plates for our guests which made everything really easy. The food was delicious and was presented beautifully on the plates. His homemade pasta was wonderful, as was his ribeye, and stone fruit salad. He made a delicious homemade strawberry shortcake and it was a perfect way to end a memorable and special dinner party. I highly recommend him and he's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. read more

I wish I could give Chef Henry 10 stars! I wanted to do something special for my dad's birthday dinner so I reached out to 5 private chefs and ended up booking Chef Henry because of his menu, communication, and willingness to work with your budget. We had an amazing and memorable dinner with Chef Henry. We did a 5-course menu: radicchio & endive salad, crab cakes w/ remoulade, fresh made pappardelle, wagyu steak with vegetables and potatoes, and triple chocolate brownie with homemade ice cream. Every dish was absolute perfection. My dad said it was the best meal and birthday gift he's ever had. It was like going to a Michelin restaurant in the comfort of your own home. You can tell he is truly a master at his craft, with his cooking methods and only using the best and freshest ingredients. He was also such a nice guy, and was great with my kids bothering him every 10 minutes as he was cooking. Thank you Chef Henry, for everything. I can't wait to work with you again soon! read more

CHEF HENRY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB FOR OUR WEDDING! Due to the pandemic we followed public health guidelines and kept our wedding to only a gathering of 20 and everyone had to test negative, including Chef Henry and his team. We also didn't want a sit down dinner so we asked Chef Henry to help create a series of appetizers paired with wines that would start light and finish heavier to there was plenty of food and folks could mingle for hours without being confined to a table. Here is why we highly recommend you use Chef Henry, whether for a small intimate dinner party or for a much larger wedding event... 1. RESPONSIVE, ATTENTIVE AND 100% RELIABLE: One of our biggest concerns was finding a Chef and Caterer that would perform and deliver as promised. Chef Henry responded to my inquiry within minutes and after a short discussion about what we were looking for he offered us a menu to select from. Then we asked him for some additional custom items we wanted and he totally came through. He listens, asks the right questions, take care of all the little details we didn't even know to ask and then delivered on everything. 2. OUTSTANDING FOOD AND SERVICE TEAM: While we wanted our wedding to be casual as it was for only 20 of our closest friends and family, we also wanted it to be fun and asked Chef Henry to add servers to as the different rounds of appetizers were served. We started with a charcuterie platter then onion tarts, mushroom aranchini with truffle, shrimp and grits, his signature fried chicken with truffle skewers and then the most amazing Grilled Lamb LoliPops. Everything was cooked right in the kitchen and our guests love watching the Chef and his team perform their magic. The servers brought out everything fresh and hot and kept the champagne and wine pairings flowing. 3. EXCELLENT VALUE AND EASE OF EXECUTION Chef Henry and his team are a great value for the excellent quality of food. Many of our guests are seasoned Bay Area Foodies and all were blown away at the quality and creativity that Chef Henry brings. But for us it was also the ease of execution and how he and his team so effortlessly and without any drama brought everything into our rental home to make such a magical event happen that was fun and light and always service with a smile . Chef Henry and his team truly have found their passion in what they do! We have referred him to several friends already and we will certainly engage him again as it was the most memorable catered event we ever experienced! read more

I had a 80's Prom Night birthday party with my mostly lesbian friends of 35 guests. We're older crowd 40 to 60 yo with a few dietary needs. I explained to Chef Henry what I needed and he created a menu that matched my expectations. The cost was reasonable and so I booked him. The venue I rented didn't have a kitchen so he cooked off site. He laid out the food beautifully. The mac and cheese hot. Salmon sliders yummy ..cooked to flaky perfection (not dry). My friends loved the food. I would definitely recommend Chef Henry. read more

Just had my daughter's first birthday and our dishes were a hit. Chef Henry was great at communicating from start to finish and i can't wait to try more of his menu items in the future. We had 50+ guests and there was plenty of food to go around with leftovers at the end which is always an added bonus. The variety of apps, entrees, and desserts available blew me away and eventually I settled on a mix of veggie and meat dishes for the party. My favorite dishes were the brisket sliders and the garlic noodles. I ate everything so it was hard to pick a favorite. My guests were pleased with the selection and it made for a perfect birthday celebration. I want to plan another event soon just so I can try more of Henry's creations! Highly recommend especially for large group events. read more
