She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

That was a favorite for a couple. The salad was so yummy with a lot of great flavors that came together beautifully. Our salmon was the entree which had a beautiful glaze and a nice crisp on the edges. Our apple crisp dessert was a perfect ending to our delectable meal. Honestly, it was perfect and nothing I would change. She was also such a pleasure and cleaned up EVERYTHING! You can't go wrong with her!

We used to come here often for their kimbops, banchans, the gochujang, and their dduks - however, the prices are easily more than double than what you would pay for, even with the typical increase that's seen everywhere. For example, a pack of 6-piece dduks are easily $7.99+; a pack of frozen sliced dduks are $11.99+; mook (acorn jelly), with a very modest serving, is $8.99+; a bag of dried radish runs you $50!

If I could give 10 stars, I would…read more I'm circling back with the highest praise for B. Lin Catering, who catered my daughter's Sweet 16 birthday celebration--and absolutely stole the show. I honestly can't decide who loved the food more: the teenage girls with their surprisingly sophisticated palates... or my husband. The birthday girl felt like an absolute princess. She had the best sleepover, and the food was the clear highlight. Multiple girls independently said the same thing: "This is way better and much more flavorful than Chipotle." And listen--teenagers do not agree on anything, so that says a lot. The flavor is truly indescribable. The chipotle chicken was unbelievably tender, and the chimichurri skirt steak literally melted in your mouth--the kind of good where people pause mid-bite just to look at each other. Every single item was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly prepared with care and pride. It should honestly be a crime to make meat, chips, guac, and corn salsa taste that incredible. The service was just as impressive. The delivery driver was right on time (early, actually!), friendly, and professional, and even offered subtle but incredibly helpful tips on the best way to set everything up--those thoughtful touches matter when you're hosting a house full of teenagers. B. Lin Catering brought flavor, ease, and joy to a milestone moment for our family. I will absolutely be ordering again and recommending them to everyone I know in DC. Run--don't walk--to book them
