We had a great evening with Chef Mordechai. He is very knowledgable about asian cooking techniques, tools, and the ingredients themselves. He came prepared and we appreciated all the attention to detail throughout the night. The food and the way he blends flavors together is memorable, we recommend him highly for your next event.

Are you sure it's kosher? It's a strange compliment, but Mordechai takes inspiration from the world. Not many kosher chefs are willing to (or able) to get away from the typical menus. We have never had anything we wouldn't order again (and again and again and again). I know I can get the same ingredients and try on my own. But Mordechai knows how to make those ingredients into magic.
