Chef Vothana is incredibly talented — every dish is thoughtful and beautifully executed. She makes mealtime effortless for our family and her menus are always varied and exciting so we never get bored. She’s also flexible and easily adjusts menus based on our preferences. We tried a couple of different chefs in Seattle before finding her and her talent truly surpasses them by a mile. We can’t say enough good things about her!

We cannot stop raving about Chef Vothana’s food! We hired her for a surprise private dinner while on vacation in Seattle. She was incredibly accommodating for the many dietary preferences we have. Everything we ate was delicious and was a perfectly planned menu from start to finish. She was so sweet, easy to work with and communicative. Her food was the highlight of our whole trip!

Vothana made us a fabulous dinner while on our girls trip in Seattle. Everything she made was absolutely delicious! She put so much effort and love into her dishes and even went to extra mile to make the meal special with personalized menus and a beautiful place setting with flowers! Can’t recommend enough!

My husband's 40th birthday dinner was a huge success. Our vision of how the night would go totally came true and exceeded expectations. Chef Vothana arrived with everything totally prepared, including several items that I had last minute emailed her about because we were lacking two placemats and two salad forks. She had also brought over steak knives for the main course because we didn't have those, thus making the 8-person dining table place settings perfect and complete. Vothana was extremely professional in all aspects of the dinner service, preparing the courses calmly and efficiently. She introduced each course to our guests and the pacing of the courses was exactly as you would expect for a fine dining experience. Our guests were all impressed with each course--a yellowtail sashimi starter, a lobster with squash and coconut curry sauce first course, and a filet mignon with creamy potatoes and carrots for the main course. They made comments like "this looks amazing," "the steak is perfectly cooked," and "this is the best thing I have eaten in a very long time". We feel lucky to have chefs with the caliber of skills and expertise as Chefs Vothana for our event and we will be calling on her again in the future!

Chef Vothana is absolutely AMAZING. I hired her for an intimate bachelorette dinner with dishes nodding to our childhood sleepover dinners and she did such an incredible job with so much research! I sent her a long list of memories that I had her choose what spoke to her and and she created a beautiful meal with intention and heart. For context, we would have Brazilian dishes and my friend who had family in Brazil said was that she would've believed that a Brazilian made it. Her food was the BEST thing we ate that weekend and in a long time. Chef Vothana pours her heart and soul into her food and it definitely shows her passion and work going into the authenticity of her creations. She's also such a lovely and wonderful human who brings a ray of sunshine into the kitchen! I would definitely recommend her over and over again and look forward to working with her in the future and having her phenomenal food.
