    Hastings-Sunrise

    so amazing, private sushi catering at its finest…read more we walked into a milestone birthday that already felt special, and somehow the evening only elevated from there. the sushi team, three staff members, were busy setting up, calm and precise, moving behind the long table in quiet choreography. you could hear the soft torching, see the careful slicing, the deliberate plating. nothing rushed. nothing chaotic. just focused craftsmanship. the presentation was stunning. clean lines. layered wooden platters. vibrant colour everywhere, blush pink salmon, deep ruby tuna, translucent ika, golden tempura. the table was lush but never crowded, styled with greenery and height that made everything feel curated rather than stacked. it looked like a private omakase counter had appeared in the middle of a celebration. what stood out immediately was the restraint with the rice. every piece felt balanced and thoughtful, more fish, more texture, more flavour. you were not filling up on rice, you were tasting the ingredients. vegetable tapas started things off, bright, delicate, and beautifully composed. then came shrimp tempura, perfectly crisp and light, not greasy in the slightest, just that ideal golden crunch that shatters softly before giving way to sweetness. the truffle tuna on chip was a little bite with big presence, rich, aromatic, indulgent without being heavy. then came the signatures, where it truly became an experience. salmon carpaccio, silky and luminous, almost glowing on the little spoon. the assorted sushi featured ika shiso, botan ebi, and yellowtail, each piece clean, fresh, and expertly cut. the sashimi selection included salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and hokkigai, sliced beautifully, each bite melting on the palate. the assorted aburi of engawa and unagi were lightly torched, smoky and buttery with just enough warmth to release their aroma. torch salmon pressed and torch scallop pressed offered that perfect contrast of warm against cool rice. local uni sushi was creamy and ocean sweet, pure and briny in the best way. the wagyu beef uni sushi was my favourite, rich, indulgent, almost decadent, that buttery beef and velvety uni combination was unforgettable. the signature rolls brought playful balance. yellowtail mango was bright and refreshing. cajun albacore carried a little heat and a little edge. tobiko roll delivered a subtle pop and texture in every bite. elevated and beautifully executed. a dining experience that did not just feed guests, but truly impressed them. absolutely unforgettable.

    We used M sushi for new years eve, they were amazing! We loved them so much we are going to use…read morethem again. Ben is very accomodating and hands on with helping create a menu that surprised all our guest. Calvin and the staff were very interactive and didn't rush the experience. Food was delicious and fresh. Also, extra bonus points when they left the kitchen spotless.

    Michelle + Trevor are amazing from start to finish…read more We booked Served for our 30 person Rehearsal Dinner, 40 person Wedding, and the Bridal Party Breakfast for the day of. We had the difficult task of planning our weding in Vancouver from California. We were nervous booking any caterer because we couldn't make it up to meet in person or have a tasting. We had phone conversations with many chefs and caterers, but after our intial conversation with Served it was evident that they possed the expereience and creativity we were looking for. We wanted to incorporate our Asian heratage into the cusine, and it was so awesome to hear Treavor's recommendations and suggestions around the possibilities of Asian Fusion. We were so impressed with his talent, knowledge, and creativity on the spot! We had an intimate wedding at a private home in Furry Creek. Both meals were incredibly delicious. Our guests were an eclectic mix of vegetarians, meat eaters, foodies, and spice sensitive folks. ALL of the guests raved (and continue to do so) about the food and service. My father said it best when he asked, "why can't you get a great meal like this out?!" My husband and I constantly crave the fare - Maybe you mail us meals?! :) Overall Highlights: Michelle + Trevor are on top of getting back to you and finalizing / executing all the details Cusine creativity is impressive Meals are DELICIOUS Staff is friendly I was never worreid that they wouldn't fulfill their end of the service Overall value is incredible I really appreciated the time and effort that was put in to make our Asian Fusion cusine delicious

    Not enough food. My whole family was left hungry at a recent event. No dessert left and no protein…read moreeither... only some sides.

    I'm somewhat on the fence about this business. Ideally I'd have ranked them 3 and a half stars, but…read moreI'm rounding up. I've been to many events catered by Lazy Gourmet and, for the most part, the meals have been quite good. Not outstandingly great, not bad, but better than average. Very good, I'd say. If I can generalize, on average their main dishes have usually been tasty, their side dishes are hit-or-miss (some are good while others, bland), and their desserts tend to be disappointing. In general, their serving size tends to be small. If you're a guy with a big appetite, you'd need at least two servings of everything. This past Thanskgiving, I ordered three classic dinner holiday meals for me and my close two friends. The price was on a par with all the restaurants that were offering holiday meals to-go - perhaps a bit lower, even. Picking up the meals was a breeze; they have a nearby warehouse where you can park for free in the alley behind where there is a door to enter to get your meal. (I picked up my meals the day before Thanksgiving and I paid to park at a meter on the street, as did other patrons. When we got to the front door, there was a posted sign to go to the rear door to pick up one's order. There I saw that there was free parking. This is all awesome, but it sure would've been good to have known this in advance! Their pick-up order info should advise customers of the free parking in the back, and that we'd have to go to the rear door. SO many of us had to carry our large orders from the back alley to our cars parked in the front by meters). Anyhow, let's talk food, right? It's all about the food! Our turkey meals were, for the most part, very good. The turkey itself was delicious: perfectly cooked and moist and we all loved it. The potatoes were great. The gravy, great. The salad, quite good but not outstanding. Their cranberry-pear sauce was a bit tart but still, quite good. I was too full for the other sides (vegetable, bread rolls) but my friends said they were okay. (Both friends definitely could have eaten more. The portions were small. For me, it was a perfect amount but for regular or big eaters, definitely skimpy portion size). What was VERY disappointing was the desserts. The menu said dessert would consist of: "Dessert Platter: lemon tarts, gingersnaps, ruby chocolate discs, chocolate cupcakes with pumpkin spice latte frosting". Sounds delectable, no? Well, when I opened the dessert box upon returning home from getting the order, I was SO shocked by what I saw: an assortment of nice but tiny, TINY desserts. How tiny, you ask? The "ruby chocolate discs" were each a red chocolate disc the size of a Toonie (perhaps a tad larger - but not by much). The "cupcakes" and lemon tarts were smaller than half an average-sized petite four. No exaggeration, they were the diameter of quarters. The gingersnaps were hardened round cookies (we all said they reminded us of Dad's cookies from the box. You know, the hard cookies you have to dip in tea to soften, lest you risk breaking your teeth). And worse, as tiny as these deserts are, we didn't even get one each of them! They just throw in an assortment so each person gets three. So there were only two "cupcakes" and two "tarts" (the tastiest of the desserts offered), and we also got three red chocolate discs (bland) and two cookies (hard like rocks). I really thought they erred in not giving us three of each item and I immediately emailed and called the place to say they forgot to package the correct desserts for my order. A lady called back right away to advise me that the order was correct, they provide an assortment of desserts and each diner gets three. (I WISH their online ordering menu was clearer about what was offered re: size of desserts and amounts offered, to eliminate confusion). All I can say is, these dessert items were SO small, and only half were tasty, I was so relieved I had a cheesecake in my freezer to serve (I had it saved for another dinner, but used it for Thanksgiving. The LG desserts I got was definitely NOT sufficient or appropriate!). So it's rather a mixed review for this caterer. Would I use them again? Yes, for sure, but now I know to ask specifics about the order, and to have extra foods on hand to augment the ordered meal.

    Amazing cooking class! We have loved and used the Lazy…read moreGourmet for over 10 years! With the loss of events and catering came an amazing opportunity to try their cooking class! A beautiful box with a 3 course meal came fully ready for us to roll up our sleeves. Each course had everything portioned out, instructions and everything we needed. The amazing Chef led us through each course, making sure that we were all following, and answering any questions along the way. He was charming to say the least! We set up our TV in the dining room so we felt like we were right there! Our box also came with cocktails which were outstanding. We absolutely loved our cooking class. We don't think we will be quitting our jobs anytime soon, but perhaps with a bit more practice we might get offered a job! ;P Highly recommended for birthdays, family events, or corporate! It was an absolute blast!
