Chef Paul delivered and out of this world an out of this world Korean fest with a K-pop twist cooking experience. I was hesitant booking for our home, but his 200+ reviews convinced us and it was 100% worthwhile. He arrived fully prepped, is an incredible chef teacher and storyteller and made my boyfriend’s 47th year old birthday so special, even transforming our sushi leftovers into a masterpiece. Truly unforgettable will definitely be booking again and recommending him to our friends and family. Thank you, Chef Paul!
