We had a great evening with Chef Mordechai. He is very knowledgable about asian cooking techniques, tools, and the ingredients themselves. He came prepared and we appreciated all the attention to detail throughout the night. The food and the way he blends flavors together is memorable, we recommend him highly for your next event.

We had Chef Mordechai to our house for a Chinese cooking class for my wife's birthday. He was very knowledgeable and had great advice for us. The food was excellent. We are already looking forward to booking another experience!

I had so much fun working with Chef Mordechai. He is really interesting, explaining the origins of certain ingredients and the unique flavor profiles of what he chooses for his dishes. He definitely knows his stuff when it comes to authentic ingredients for certain ingredients and I learned a ton just from cooking with him. He loves what he does and it shows!

Are you sure it's kosher? It's a strange compliment, but Mordechai takes inspiration from the world. Not many kosher chefs are willing to (or able) to get away from the typical menus. We have never had anything we wouldn't order again (and again and again and again). I know I can get the same ingredients and try on my own. But Mordechai knows how to make those ingredients into magic.

Mordechai provides great-tasting food at excellent prices, and has done a number of top-notch cooking demonstrations. He's kind, courteous, interesting, and funny.

Deliciously inventive international menu. The flavors and textures are perfectly layered and the presentation is so beautiful. We love his food and look forward to Mordechai’s classes!
