Our Testimonials

What Our Customers Think And
Say About Platesfull

Meticulous planning & delivery

“Chef Ribe Rubio was meticulous in his 3 day event with us. His presentation and delivery was precise and everyone enjoyed his cooking & delivery. Thanks”

5 star

“Chef Onuma did super amazing! Truly 5 out of 5 stars.”

Chef went extra mile

“Your chef Avila was wonderful and did an amazing job! Thank you so much for improvising with bringing on a new chef last minute. The chef also improvised with where the dinner would be hosted, as our home that we were supposed to host at had to be evacuated that weekend during the storms. He accommodated and still made the night a great one. Again, thank you for your services!”

Tasty & Healthy food

“I recently visited Austin, and my friends arranged for a personal chef from PlatesFull to prepare a unique three-course meal for a small get-together. It was an incredible experience! The chef was not only friendly but also passionate about the food, making the entire process enjoyable and engaging. The appetizers were outstanding—perfectly plated and bursting with flavor. Each course showcased a creative twist on classic dishes, leaving us all eager for the next bite. It was evident that a lot of thought and care went into every aspect of the meal. This concept is truly amazing, and I can’t recommend it enough. I genuinely hope PlatesFull expands to other states soon! I’ll definitely hire their chefs whenever I find myself back in Austin. Thank you for a memorable evening!”

Amazing experience

“We recently had the pleasure of working with a personal chef from PlatesFull, and it was an outstanding experience! From the initial consultation to the final meal, the process was seamless and enjoyable. Our chef took the time to understand our preferences and dietary needs, crafting a menu that was both delicious and tailored to our tastes. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into the preparation. Our guests were raving about the food, and we felt like we were dining in a five-star restaurant from the comfort of our home. Not only did our chef handle everything—from grocery shopping to cooking and cleanup—but they also brought a wonderful energy to our gathering. It was such a relief to enjoy the evening without worrying about the kitchen. We highly recommend PlatesFull for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience. This is an amazing concept & we will definitely hire a chef again. Thank you for making our event truly special!”
