PRIVATE CHEF & CATERING

Modern California Cuisine

Rooted in Family. Crafted for Experience.

Food Is Family

Food has always been more than sustenance - it’s connection.

Raised in California’s Sacramento River Delta, Chef Tien learned to cook alongside his father, where Vietnamese traditions met All-American comfort with a French touch. Today, that same philosophy guides every menu: thoughtful, seasonal, and deeply personal.

Culinary Experiences

Chef Tien Tran creates thoughtfully curated dining experiences designed around people, place, and season. From intimate private dinners to full-scale events, each experience is personalized, ingredient-driven, and crafted to feel effortless - where great food sets the stage for meaningful connection.

What Clients Say

Every experience is built around connection, care, and craft. From intimate private dinners to milestone celebrations, Chef Tien’s approach leaves guests feeling welcomed, present, and remembered.

We hosted Friendsgiving for about 25 people. The food and service from Chef Tien was absolutely FABULOUS! We had a couple of vegans in our group and they couldn't stop raving about their dishes. From the first inquiry Chef Tien was super communicative and prompt in his responses.  His suggested menu was unique and designed around our theme. 
 
Chef Tien was a joy to work with and we cannot wait to have another
gathering so he can cook for us again- Thank you Tien!

Tien helped me with a private dinner and it was amazing! The food was creative and presented beautifully. Everything came out right on time and all the guests left with full belly’s and complimented how great their dinner was. Tien was easy to work with, very communicative and offered unique ideas to make our event extra special.
 
Will definitely be hiring him again in the future!
