Let me start off by saying that Lana and the Rainbow chefs crew did an outstanding job with…read moreaccommodating my husband, Daniel, and I during the few months of planning and prepping for our wedding this past July 2022. Daniel and I started talking about and planning our wedding late February 2022. And we were recommended to reach out to Lana and her company Rainbow Chefs for the catering. Daniel and I were originally planning for a cocktail wedding, as opposed to a traditional sit down dinner. We were madly sending out inquiries to different food catering companies, food trucks, restaurants, etc., with no hope in regards to the insanely expensive prices for the amount of people we were expecting, about 200+. Finally, Daniel's manager suggested that we reach out to Lana. We scheduled a zoom meeting with her, and had an unforgettable first impression of her and her plan for our last minute wedding. She broke down every detail we needed to be aware of and prepared for, including prices, and even discussed different options her company could offer to us. It was not easy to plan a wedding with 200+ guest invitations, in 4-5 months, but thankfully we were lucky enough that Lana and her crew were available for our wedding date and were able to help us throughout the process. During the entire planning time, Lana diligently checked in on both Daniel and I, sometimes individually, making sure tasks were being done and loose ends were being tied in time for our big day. Not only was Lana on top of us daily/weekly regarding our wedding planning, but she was also conscientious toward our mental health and instilled lots of important advice. About a week before our wedding day, Lana, Kate and Viana came to the venue, along with our other vendors, to have an overall tour of the venue, to make sure they knew where to maneuver the food tables, the kitchen staff, the bar situation, etc. On the day of the wedding, Lana was exceptional! Her and the Rainbow Chefs crew made sure our guests were well taken care of. I got compliments from our family and friends about how great the staff was, so that definitely meant alot. Throughout the night, along with our wedding planner, Lana was making sure that Daniel and I ate, that we were aware of things she and her crew were doing, etc. They definitely helped ease some of our planning and event stresses. The communication, diligence and honesty that Lana and Rainbow Chefs presented to us throughout the entire planning and event process was one that we absolutely recommend to anyone who is planning a wedding or large event/party!!

We did a cooking course with the Rainbow Chefs in 2021 and still haven't received the recipes. They…read morestopped responding to my text/emails once the course was over. Very questionable communication from the Rainbow Chefs Update- After three painful weeks, I have finally received the e-recipes that were promised to us in August, 2021. During the past three weeks, Lana from Rainbow chefs kept on promising that she will send the recipes to me without providing a date. I had to follow up with her multiples time to get an update. Along the way Lana kept on saying that Rainbow chefs went above and beyond to create the recipes for our camp and the recipes are supposed to be an "extra effort" for our camp, however, this was actually advertised to us before we signed the contract. I felt really annoyed that one dared to describe something that's 11 months late as "extra effort". In addition, the first version I received was full of typos/formatting errors and missing TWO dishes. Lana told me those were missing because she lost the recipe files--but according to her that everything was custom made for our camp so she had to write the recipes from scratch? If she had the "files" all this time why not just send to me? To conclude, lots of inconsistent information from Rainbow chefs. I would advise everyone to think twice before choosing to work with Rainbow chefs

We tried their Paneer Rice Bowl, Egg Puff, and Rose Tres Leche Cake at the Sunset Farmers Market…read more Everything was super tasty with perfect portion sizes, but the Rose Tres Leche Cake really stood out -- absolutely outstanding! We also had Saffron & Spice handle the desserts for our son's birthday party, and it was a guest favorite. Everyone loved the unique flavors and kept talking about how delicious the desserts were. I'd happily go back to their farmers market stall anytime, and next time we host an event, I'd definitely go to them for full catering.

Their menu is ideal for a graze table, with food that was flavorful, balanced, and visually stunning. Juthika and Kavya were enthusiastic, responsive, and punctual. On the day of the event, they arrived on time, and everything was set up perfectly. The graze table looked gorgeous, and the delicious food was the cherry on top. We ordered samosa pinwheels, masala rounds, paneer sliders, chicken puffs, pani puri, papri chaat, mango panna cotta kheer, and rose milk tres leches. Both desserts were a hit. Everyone loved the mango panna cotta kheer, even though I am usually a tres leches fan. The samosa pinwheels, paneer sliders, and chicken puffs were especially delicious. Juthika also baked the cake for us. She asked which flavor we wanted and suggested a few ideas of her own. We trusted her judgment, and everyone was impressed by the cake. She also advised us to choose a smaller size based on our guest count, which turned out to be perfect. Overall, we could not have asked for a better caterer for our baby shower. I would recommend Saffron and Spice to anyone without a second thought.

Catering review. First of all, I did not know that this place is in San Mateo and while my company…read moreis in north San Jose, their catering service arrived on time with 200 bentos made! It's impressive to us as we've never had a on time delivery with Chicken Meets Rice for that amount of orders. Their catering minimum order is 30 bentos. We had 3 choices, sesame tofu with broccoli veggie bento, chicken katsu bento, and pork katsu bento. I am happy that there are a variety of items in the bentos other than rice and the main meat, namely rice noodle, okra, mashed potato salad (very yum), dessert item such as 2 cream puffs or a red bean mochi, lettuce, and a slice of fruit or lemon. Each element tasted good. The katsu pork and chicken came with a pack of katsu sauce and it was fitting, not overly saucy. I wouldn't mind having it again for lunch!

The food arrived an hour early and it was supposed to be hot. It wasn't even warm. When I contacted EZCater, they reached out to the restaurant and they replied that they needed to deliver it early because of traffic. Nobody called me to see if that would even work for me. Also, when they asked if they would be willing to give a credit back they said no. Now I have cold salmon and chicken to give to my executives. I will not be going back to BentoSprout based on their ridiculous customer service.

Having someone to do menu planning and grocery shopping was a huge time saver and ensured that we had home-cooked meals to eat rather than falling back to ordering takeout every night. Johanna provided a wide variety in her meals. Most menus came directly from her, but sometimes I would request certain types of food or specific dishes she had made in the past that were our favorites. Johanna tailored her menus to meet my dietary restrictions (low saturated fat). She always left the kitchen clean with clear instructions for the meals and even some cooking tips along the way! Johanna came every 2 weeks but was flexible around holidays and vacation. Would absolutely recommend her services!

Background: Contacted Chef Johanna about preparing food for…read moremy small wedding in the spring of 2022. My (now) husband is a severe Celiac and so making sure all food is completely Gluten-free was the number one concern. The Chef was quick to respond and so helpful in brainstorming a potential menu for the event (we settled on Mexican). She then got started on putting together the recipes and gathering the proposed ingredient list. This is where the Chef went above and beyond for us-she sent us the full recipes and proposed ingredients(down to the specific brands) so that we could ensure that everything was free from gluten and free from cross-contamination (a shocking amount of spices are processed on the same equipment as wheat). She even was able to find a way to make gluten free Tres Leches and Tiramisu (our favorites). For our wedding cakes! Menu: Crudités with Green Goddess Dip Queso Fundido with Chorizo Pico de Gallo Chopped Salad Chili Verde Stew Slow Cooked Barbocoa Tacos Roasted Zucchini Sweet Bell Pepper Rice Spicy Citrus Black Beans Tres Leches with strawberries Tiramisu Preparation: The chef packaged up all of our food so that my sister could pick it up and transport it (our venue was 4 hours north of the bay). She provided detailed instructions for reheating the food and prepping the cakes. She even made sure we would have any additional utensils that would be necessary. She gave me an accurate and in-depth invoice that broke down the expenses and made it easy to work into our wedding budget. Food: WOW WOW WOW! The best part (obviously) was the food! Everything was fresh and vibrant and so so delicious! The Queso provided the best cheese pull I have ever seen and my husband and I are still drooling over that Tres Leches and my family keeps bringing up how incredible the dinner was! Additionally my husband was able to freely eat everything to his hearts content, confident that he wouldn't become ill on our special day. I cannot recommend Chef Johanna enough!!

They have family style option to get a bigger portion for those who have a family, or for me, to bring to a pot luck. They also have individual desserts and full size pies/cakes. Seriously - they have everything. They no longer offer wine for those who care. There are some additional pick up options, too, but I stick with Jack London Square on Wednesdays from 11:30-2:00.
