Modern California Private Chef in Palm Springs & the Coachella Valley

Modern California cuisine is Tien’s home base: seasonal produce, bright flavors, and influences from every table he grew up around. It’s the style behind every Tien’s Table menu.

How Tien cooks Modern California

Tien builds each Modern California menu around what’s best that week, from Coachella Valley dates and citrus to coastal seafood and farmers-market vegetables. Expect clean, balanced plates with a quiet layer of Vietnamese and French technique.
