Thai Rice Spoon recently catered a party at our home, and the experience was fantastic. Tumi was…read moreincredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire process, offering great suggestions on what to order for 35 guests. Everything--from placing the order to payment, delivery, and setup--was seamless and stress-free. The food arrived fresh, and they even provided heating dishes to keep everything warm. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious--and we were still happily enjoying the leftovers for the next three days! I highly recommend this catering business for your next party.

The little English tea sandwiches were delicate and flavorful, the quiches were perfectly baked, and the salad was crisp and fresh. The chocolate-covered strawberries were a beautiful finishing touch and a big hit with our guests. communication was easy throughout the process. Lena was available and supportive during the stressful time working with a short timeline. The presentation fit the elegant tea party theme perfectly. We received so many compliments from our guests and wouldn't hesitate to use them again for a special occasion.

I've worked with Lena for 2.5 years across multiple events for different clients, and I keep coming…read moreback to her for a reason. What sets Lena apart isn't just her execution, it's her instinct for what a production actually needs, including things you didn't know to ask for. Seven hours into a long event, she'll appear with a plate of food and a knowing smile. It sounds small, but a fed producer runs a tighter show, and she knows that before I do. That same instinct shows up everywhere: when a venue had no prep kitchen, she made it work out of a laundry closet. When a hot day caught us without enough water to drink, she had canned beverages in people's hands before I'd even finished flagging the problem. When the prep room at a venue ended up being the width of a hallway, her team rolled up their sleeves and prepped delicious foods despite the conditions, never complaining. She finds the way, every time. She's someone I trust completely in the planning process leading up to events. She's fast to respond, honest when something needs adjusting, and genuinely collaborative when the goal shifts. Her team shows up prepared, and she stays with a project until it's right. I've recommended Lena to others in my field without hesitation, and every single one of them has come back grateful. If you need someone who can hold every moving piece together and still make it feel effortless, she's the one.

Once they got that fixed I found several hairs in my meal. I actually took pictures of the hair and mentioned it to our server. They took the meal away and never replaced it or commented.

This is a long overdue review! We have hired S+S Gastro Grub Catering for my work several times for…read moreabout a year and a half. Their attention to details are unmatched. The quality of their food, taste and creativity are impeccable. The cocktails by their bartenders are well balanced. The entire S+S team are always happy, friendly and professional! Our guests always enjoyed their food and services. They still talk about it even months after!! It can be slow on the communication which can be understandable since the owners, Simone & Sebastian are completely hands-on for every aspect of the planning and execution as well as physical being at all of their events. No matter how long in between our communications, they never missed any details and they go above and beyond on additional details that I didn't think of! I can't wait to plan my birthday celebration with them!!

Simone and Sebastian did a fantastic job catering my wedding at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, CA…read morethis past June! I primarily communicated with Simone via email and she was extremely responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process. I was constantly peppering her with questions and she was always kind and patient with me, a nervous bride, as I was trying to pull together this event for 115 people. I appreciated her flexibility as the final touches of the event were coming together. On top of her catering expertise, Simone's professionalism and knowledge as an event planner was infinitely helpful. I initially met Simone and Sebastian at a Brazilian Room open house and was able to try some of their food samples. Let's just say their samples made an impact and none of the other catering options stood a chance after that. Simone helped me with creating the menu for the night and ensuring that I had a good variety of main courses and sides to satisfy the needs of my group. We decided to skip the traditional wedding cake and instead opted for some of the fun dessert options on Simone and Sebastian's menu. The banana pudding was an absolute hit! Overall, I had such an awesome experience with Simone and Sebastian. The two of them, along with their staff, were extremely kind and professional. I finally lost count of how many people came to me during and after the wedding to rave about their food, which should tell you everything you need to know. You will not regret having Simone and Sebastian cater your event!

Never rushed us, picked up all used items thru out the party, packed up the left overs food in containers and checked in often with me to make sure all was well. I'd definitely use them again. Especially Ignacio.

We had these guys cater for my sons's birthday, they make the best pastor tacos I've ever had…read more They make it fresh on the trompo (vertical spinning skewer) just like a taqueria should. We called a few others, but these are the only guys my wife and I could find that make the pastor fresh on the trompo right there in front of you, and let me say, they are the bomb! Don't let the lack of pictures or reviews fool you, these guys do it right. They also give your choice of fresh drinks which are included, such as hibiscus tea and horchata. They provide fresh salsas and guacamole, as well as a choice of sides, such as rice and beans. Give these guys a try, you won't be disappointed. Happy taco eating!
