I had a lot of dietary restrictions and Felix was so careful and kind, making food that was unique and special and satisfying. Their authenticity and kindness shows up in all they do".

  • "BEST. KOREAN. FOOD. EVER. It was all amazing. We loved the kimchi. She said she loved the bread, which is a comment I've never heard her say about bread, ever. She grew up on daikon, so she loved the salad. The meal box was delicious dude. As always, we ate too much and haven't made it to the dessert yet. Well done my friend."

I'm so contemplating if I wanna give a couple more to the other favorite neighbors. I don't wanna upset the hubby so I think we should eat them all lol. He loved it. He didnt think it was too sour. Im sure he's looking forward to having more tonight! I don't know how I can thank you for your generosity and kindness."

  • “I worked a solid week with Felix, he marries hard work and experience beautifully with an attention to detail that most chef's overlook after any success. He is an inspired chef and I consider myself lucky to have met him. I am honored to continue this culinary journey with a like minded chef that shares the same vision as I do coupled with a willingness to grow and learn with little ego and maximum potential. I consider him a friend, a peer and an inspiration. If every cook had his humility and eagerness to work, the industry would be propelled into a new age".

  • “Felix makes the most amazing food!! My husband and I have ordered a meal from him for our anniversary, the only requirements we gave was "mushrooms". Usually we want to know what to expect but with Felix we trust him completely because EVERYTHING he makes is always tasty!! We had a fantastic meal with several courses (each a different use of a mushroom). And it was perfect! My other favorite from him is sage fried rice. Felix is not only an extremely talented chef, he's a beautiful human all around - personable, easy going and caring."

  • "The meal was amazing, as usual. Your swedish meatballs are better than mine. What gravy that didn't get packed for her lunch tomorrow, I scarped up and ate straight. She loved the fiddlehead in the saute. I had to restrain myself from continuously snacking on the homemade pickles. We over ate and haven't gotten to the dessert yet. You have become our favorite restaurant bud. We have decided to let you choose the meal for next time. We love sauteed veggies, we'll take anything along with that. Thank you homie!"

  • "Outrageously delicious - you have a gift my man. We truly couldn't pick a favorite; but the prep and execution of the hens paired with the koji slaw was unbeatable, the best I've had. Can't say enough about the other stuff though.I've been working in restaurants for over 10 years and that's the best salad I've ever had, it's an insanely high benchmark."

My roommate loved it too, they specifically said they loved that it wasn't too sweet because they like the tartness in the blueberries and the pie captured it perfectly. Also, we loved the crust, a good strong buttery crust. It was such a treat, thank you <3. Im bringing some to my partner tonight and hopefully we'll have some vanilla ice cream with it!"

  • "OMG SO GOOD!!! The pho was perfect, especially in this weather. We absolutely loved it, she was craving soup. It brought back memories of past work and working with pho. The mushrooms had the texture of meat, they were perfect in the soup. So so so good. The egg rolls were great, but are still not sure what's in them. That didn't stop us from enjoying them. The potato dish was also delicious. We stuffed ourselves so quickly that we'll have enough dinner tomorrow. "The chef is great" - from the wife. I agree, Thank you again!"
