All About Yaki - Yakitori Catering Services is an amazing addition to the 805! This company specializes in yakitori (skewers) and sides which can be purchased either as a wedding catering bundle, for special occasion parties, and even sometimes All About Yaki does pop ups at local bars and breweries around the 805. I first heard of them because they were a stall/pop up in front of one of my local bars in Camarillo.
I am extremely lucky that I was able to try this business tonight with some friends. I actually won a one year anniversary raffle celebrating the business and was gifted a tasting experience for myself and some friends. We experienced a legitimate 18-course tasting and we were completely blown away. We learned so much about yakitori and all of the work that goes into prepping and cooking these amazing skewers. The variety that we were able to try was insanely impressive. If you are looking for a fun and unique catering meal, that is different than the typical tacos or barbecue plates that you usually get for family parties/weddings, I would highly recommend trying this spot.
The food all around was so delicious. I also appreciate the variety of proteins and sides that they are willing to prepare because everyone has a different pallet and some people have dietary restrictions, but they were able to meet all of our needs. We were able to try steak, chicken, different vegetables, like mushrooms, corn, and zucchini, pork, and they also get creative with some more unique bites, like chicken skin, chicken, heart, and gizzards. Even the more unique bites were cooked so well and had the best flavor that everything tasted really good. Cooking on the charcoal grill gives these bites such amazing flavor, it's unlike anything I've ever tried before. The food and sampling dining experience was seriously an A+ 10 out of 10 stars!
Even better is that this is a family owned and local catering company. Our 18 course spread was prepared and cooked by the owners, Mark and Len. An amazing husband and wife duo, they were the highlight of our night to be honest. They were so hospitable and friendly, they really took time to explain every dish that we tried and they were very flexible with us given that some people don't eat meat or we're still finding their adventurous side, lol. They just couldn't have been any nicer and if I was going to look into a company to cater a wedding, birthday party or Work event, they would definitely be one of the top people/businesses I would think of because the food is unique and fun and the service/atmosphere was just so inviting and warm.
If you're looking for a catering company in the 805 I would highly recommend checking out this spot as it was an experience that I won't soon forget. Delicious food, unique bites, and a lovely team running the show. read more
