Get to know me better

Hi, I’m a global chef who uses inspirations from my travels & training at the world’s top Michelin restaurants to give my cuisine a modern twist.

My culinary repertoire spans the globe, drawing inspiration from both time-honored traditions and modern innovations.

My culinary journey has given her the opportunity to apprentice at Michelin-starred kitchens such as in New York (Per Se) and Bangkok (Gaggan), where I honed my skills alongside culinary masters. I continue to deepen her expertise through private lessons at award-winning global restaurants in food destination cities such as Hong Kong, Paris, Saigon, Hoi An, Shanghai, Rome, Chicago, Barcelona, and Portugal, to name a few- to ensure that my techniques and creations remain at the forefront of the culinary world.

Chef Mimi was absolutely magic. I was in the area from NYC and blindly hired her based on the quality of her menu and her background... but I was totally blown away. Chef Mimi is really creative, interesting, and engaging. She MADE the dinner party. If you are looking to host a truly elevated dinner that has a backstory, incredible presentation and creativity look no further. Gorgeous presentation, top tier ingredients, and tastes that were out of this world. Wine pairings on point. We loved every single thing. THANK YOU!!

Chef Mimi you have no idea how much you blessed me! My party could not have been what it was - WAY OVER THE TOP - if you had not been involved. And the food, the attention to detail, your spirit of excellence...it was amazing, exciting, made me feel so special, and my guests feel the same way! This was a milestone birthday celebration for me and you really made it a spectacular event. Thank you for everything.

Chef Mimi Lan was absolutely amazing! It was very apparent that she put her heart and soul in every dish she prepared. We learned the story behind each course and were amazed at her creative ingenuity. I did not realized that one could be so creative with cabbage. The taste of every dish far exceeded our expectation. The presentation was outstanding. The cleanup was also great. We will definitely experience again with Take a Chef and Chef Mimi.
