"Jordan prepared an absolutely exceptional meal for our family dinner of 16 people. She was so flexible in catering to our dietary needs, and creating the exact vibe of a dinner (casual, family style, with delicious food) that we wanted (no other chef on the island that we spoke to would do this! Everyone insisted on a coursed, plated meal, which was not what we were going for in terms of the feel of our family dinner). There was more than enough food and her pricing was very fair. We are big foodies from NYC, so pretty particular about the quality and tastiness of food, and she absolutely delivered. It also looked beautiful! She even fresh baked the bread for the crostinis herself! She went above and beyond with the design of the menu, her prep of the food, and making a warm environment for our dinner. Couldn’t recommend her more!!!"

"I hired Jordan for my daughter bridal shower luncheon. And I was blow away! Her professionalism from the moment she walks in is evident! And her food!!! Divine! My guests are still raving about it. I had shared my vision with her and then gave her full creative freedom and she turned it into the most beautiful display of delicious food. She went above and beyond! She has now become my go to gal for any event that needs food! If you are looking for a fabulous chef, with class and attention to details and a heightened palette. Jordan is your girl. Look no further!"

"Chef Jordan prepared an incredible feast for our vow renewal this week. I can only rave about the items she prepared and the presentation was beautiful. It was such a treat to be with family, share amazing food, and have it all delivered and set up. I highly recommend her skillful art, and her loving and joyful persona made working with her a delight! 💕🌈"

"We traveled to Kauai for my parents' 50th anniversary, 14 of us total. Jordan helped me plan a menu and executed the best meal of our 7 night stay for us, served in a casual buffet style at the house we rented. We're still talking about the wagyu rib eye, mac crusted ono and butter mochi meal she made. It was so good my mom wanted to know if we could get her back later in the week (spoiler, we couldn't -- book ahead of time with confidence)! Add to that that she is a DREAM and so very lovely to work with and be around. I couldn't glow about our experience with Kauai Cut Catering more. <3"

"The most beautiful dinner I’ve ever had. Chef Jordan makes immaculate food and performs with the professionalism of a five star restaurant. I requested her to prepare the dinner for my wedding, a party of nine total. She worked intricately with me for months before the event to make sure everything was perfect. Her cooking is creative and perfectly curated for any occasion (just look at her fantastic sample menus!). The night went off without a hitch and the 5 course meal was a thing of culinary dreams. Timing, plating, explanation, experience and taste was WONDERFUL. I recommend her and her company to anyone looking for an intimate fine dining event or a carefully thought out yet casual meal. She does it all! 10/10 ✨"

"This is the third year that we have had the pleasure of having Chef Jordan cook for us. She is a delight and her dinners are delicious. Intimidate dinners for two are served plated. For larger groups, dinner is presented family style. Chef Jordan pays attention to detail so her setups are lovely and her dishes presented beautifully. I am a big fan of the Ahi Poke on wonton chips, Panko sesame crusted Ahi and truffled cauliflower. The Lilikoi cheesecake is out of this world. Nothing has disappointed in the 3 dinners we have had. An evening with Chef Jordan is the highlight of our vacation. I look forward to another of her wonderful dinners next year when we return."

"Jordon at Kauai Cut Catering was phenomenal! Kauai Cut Catering was able to accommodate me in less than 2 weeks of the date. I told Jordon what I wanted and she came up with a menu in my price point. on that day, the food was incredible! My guests were so happy on beautiful food and something that was different than the usual brunch food. It was such a relief to have Kauai Cut Catering take over the food so I could just relax. Jordon and her team came to set up everything, and then came back after the event and took everything. I didn’t have to shop or do dishes! It was such a success, I will definitely be reaching out to Jordon at Kauai Cut Catering for my next event."

"After researching a few options, we chose Chef Jordan and Kaua'i CUT and had the best experience we could have imagined. Chef Jordan and her team were incredibly professional, warm, and flexible. The food was absolutely amazing — so creative, delicious, and fresh. Next time, we won't need to research at all."

"Chef Jordan and Noa did a phenomenal job cooking for our family of 11 during our visit to Kauai. The meal they prepared in our rental home for my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary celebration was exquisite. They went above and beyond to make the entire evening feel special. From the beautiful table setting to the delicious food, no detail was overlooked. Jordan's food is nuanced and thoughtful, seamlessly combining Hawaiian and Asian flavors with other influences. She and Noa are incredibly talented and also left our kitchen spotless. The second meal they prepared was equally wonderful. We also requested a prepared dinner that we could reheat on Thanksgiving Day. It was the perfect way to enjoy an stress-free holiday on Kauai. I highly, highly recommend Chef Jordan and Kauai Cut Catering. Jordan and Noa were also a joy to be around. Thank you so very much for making our meals so special."

"Over the top dinner party for 12 guests celebrating our daughter’s wedding! Without hesitations we give Jordan and team our highest recommendation and rating. The farm to table appetizers, grilled peach salad, Wagyu steaks, tuna and desserts were delicious and beautifully served. Chef Jordan and team thought of every detail and provided first class service, preparation and clean up. We truly couldn’t have imagined a better outcome. Eveyone kept talking about the delicious well prepared food for the remainder of our stay. Jordan will work out the details and help with all preparation. She made it easy for us. The team set up while we were at the wedding. We communicated via text and email for several months. The restaurants on the island were all very nice. However, the lovely food prepared by chef Jordan is superior. If you enjoy fresh food, fine dining(casual too) and happy people - choose chef Jordan!"
