Good morning Anna, It was a pleasure having chef Misun as our chef, as she brought my family together with her delicious meals. She is a very professional and polite chef. Thank you!

Chef Misun was very friendly and professional. She communicated well with scheduling, arrival time, and created flavorful dishes that my partner and I drooled over. We saved the remoulade sauce after the appetizer (because it was so good!), the steak was cooked perfectly pink, and every bite of the mashed potatoes was rich. She made the dishes fast and cleaned up her work station very well. This is my first experience with CozyMeal, and Chef Misun made it a perfect option I can look forward to repeating in the future.

Hello, The chef and class content was great. The issues we had with the class were that it started almost an hour later than the agreed upon time. We assumed that the ingredients would be prepared prior to the chef's arrival but that was not the case and delayed the class for almost an hour.

We had a fantastic evening with Chef Misun. She arrived on time and was fully prepared and extremely efficient at her craft. She is very knowledgeable and was constantly explaining the various steps of the cooking process. She asked us if we wanted to be hands-on or not - we preferred to watch, so she narrated the cooking process as we watched. She kept cleaning as she cooked and left our kitchen immaculate and spotless. The meal was amazing - we were blown away by the flavors in every course - the shrimp, the steak, the dessert. Chef Misun is very chatty - as we talked about her favorite restaurants in the neighborhood, we learnt that one of our favorite Japanese curry places is owned by her brother! We highly recommend Chef Misun for a cooking class or even a private dining session. Five stars!

The food was delicious and great portions. I even requested an altar in the menu because of an allergey and she did an amazing cooking and being very friendly and communative. Chef Misun has professionalism and passion for her cooking, and it was a wonderful experience to have her as a chef.

Camille

22 Feb 2024

Need more communication before meal. What do I need to have ready —I didn’t not know to have containers ready for leftovers as one example I need find out what dishes needed and to set table I did not realize timing of dinner Should be clearer about the arrive at and eat at time !! Example if you wish to eat at 6:30 chef will arrive at———time Then the Soup and main entree not hot enough and the meat was not tender chef was pleasant and worked quietly and efficiently

WaKeisha

21 Feb 2024

We really enjoyed our meal and the company of Chef Misun. She was very friendly, professional, and thorough. She was very well prepared with all of the ingredients. SUPER CLEAN -- Chef Misun cleaned as she was cooking AND after the meal was complete she cleaned her work areas as well as the stove. We left this experience wanting more time with Chef Misun and are looking forward to booking another class with her. I would give Chef Misun and the meal 5/5 stars. However, we only have the overall experience 4 stars because we were under the impression that since this was a cooking class, we would have the opportunity to do some of the prep and cooking.

We recently had the pleasure of having Chef Misun host a sushi-making class at our place for my wife's birthday, and it was a fantastic experience! Chef Misun's approachable and down-to-earth style made everyone feel at ease, turning our common room into a lively and engaging cooking space. She made everyone feel like accomplished chefs by the end of the session. The standout was the yuzu-infused créme brûlée, a delightful twist that had everyone asking for seconds :) The whole experience was not just about cooking; it was about sharing laughter and creating memories around delicious food. Chef Misun's class was the highlight of our celebration, perfectly blending culinary education with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Thank you very much Chef Misun!
