"When my beloved passed away Chef Kim stepped in, took over my friend's
kitchen and fed more than 150 mourners...I know this may sound strange,
but the love and the craft that he put into that sumptuous meal provided
more comfort than any words...If you're lucky enough to book him you're
in for a transformational dining experience. Promise!"

"I have worked with Richard on and off for many years. The most important thing we learned together was attention to detail. Richard helped me to launch my first restaurant which received very impressive reviews.
If I had to do it all over again Richard would be my first choice for creativity and execution."

"I have had the pleasure of having
Richard Kim cater the following family events over the years; (wife's surprise
40th birthday, two first Holy Communions and two Confirmations,) and I would
like to let you know that the results were nothing short of fantastic.
These events were attended by an average of 40-60 people and the guests were always gushing with praise about the food. After the first event, I would invariably be asked by guests of subsequent events if "is the same guy going to cook for this event? The food was incredible last time. "
Everyone was impressed not only with the flavors, but also the presentation and the effort that went in. Richard is a perfectionist and he approaches each endeavoring as if it was his family event.
Somehow, he manages to take what would otherwise be a simple tried-and-true food staple and turn it into some sort of exotic dish. He adds rich and lively flavors and makes it seem that you've never eaten that food before.
Although the main purpose of the events is to celebrate a milestone, family, and friends; the food becomes the talk of the party and it just seems to put everyone in a good mood and makes the event an even happier occasion.
I would enthusiastically recommend Mr. Kim's services for your next important event and guarantee that you will not be disappointed."

He is not satisfied until whatever he is preparing comes out just right.
He settles for nothing short of perfection.
He is a tireless worker and his attention to detail is obvious in not
only the tastes, but also the presentation. He is very creative and always
trying new flavors and variations.Somehow, he manages to take what would otherwise be a simple tried-and-true food staple and turn it into some sort of exotic dish. He adds rich and lively flavors and makes it seem that you've never eaten that food before.

"The Kim family are good friends of ours. An invitation to dine at
their house sends waves of gastronomic glee through us!
We have many friends; many of them excellent cooks but
dining at Chef Kim's is like being invited to an 'event'!
Cocktails are specially crafted to fit the motif or season;
appetizers appear as if by magic and leave me wondering how many hours went
into what Chef Kim casually calls, "Just a little something I came up
with," the main course is an intoxicating mix of fresh, simple and often
'local' foods that simply startle and soothe all at once.
Dessert?
Well.........
I can dreamily remember almost every dish that Chef Kim has
served yet could never duplicate any myself. I only wish he would open a
restaurant near us!! "
