    Fresh veggies with a view

    My family and I always struggle with eating clean while on holiday. On our last trip to Maui, a friend recommended Chef Jana and we were completely blown away. She has the highest standards for her cooking and only uses fresh, in-season ingredients. Everything she made was healthy, clean, and DELICIOUS, my favourite was her opakapaka on purple sweet potato! Her creativity with ingredients completely surprises you and has inspired our own cooking at home. Several of my family members have food allergies (nuts, dairy, gluten free) and Chef Jana specialises in creating allergy-free food! Those with allergies could enjoy their meals worry free and those without allergies did not have to compromise their food choices in the slightest. Chef Jana made our family feel so special and cared for while letting us feast away totally guilt free!

Yes, instead of just doing catering, they are now offering their delicious dishes okazuya style where you can pick your entrees to build the perfect plate lunch. I have come here quite a few times and I always have a hard time choosing. The prices are incredibly reasonable so often times, I'll get two or three entrees. Pricing is as follows: 1 choice $9, 2 choices $10, 3 choices $11. Really good deal for the amount of food if you ask me! They offer mostly Filipino and sometimes local style cuisine. My all-time favorite is their sweet and sour spare ribs. Sweet, tangy, and just absolutely delicious. I crave it all the time! Other favorites would have to be their chop steak, pork and peas, and chicken papaya. My team and I have also worked with them to cater large corporate events (we're talking 1000+ people) and they have delivered each and every time. They helped make our lunch and dinner service so smooth and we have received numerous positive feedback from everyone that tried their food. Not to mention, their prices and portion sizes are incredibly reasonable. I don't think many other places can compare. If you're considering them for catering, you can now stop by and try out their food at this location. Their menu rotates throughout the week, but you can follow them on social media for the latest info on their menu and their opening hours. Lastly, I believe the parking next to the building will be going away soon, but the Wailuku parking garage is now open and is right behind this building, making it easily accessible. The first two hours are free. All in all, highly recommend T-Ann-J!

Not only did she prepare absolutely fabulous food, but she also took care of all the tent, chair, and table rentals, set up and breakdown as well as all the decorating. Tiffany was very responsive throughout the planning process and brought a lot of great ideas to the party. The day of the event everything was stunning!! Everyone on her staff was friendly and pleasant, the food was amazing (we received many compliments) and everything went according to plan. I highly recommend Maui Catering Services for any event. Thank you Tiffany for making it an unforgettable day for us all.

I had been initially referred to Tiffany Ward through my wedding coordinator & I'm so glad I booked Tiffany. I booked them in 2016 & unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to 2019 due to health reasons & chemo treatment. Tiffany was very understanding & was so wonderful to work with. She was responsive with all my emails, texts & phone calls. She also coordinated the equipment & furniture set up so it was one less thing for me to focus on. Tiffany helped me determine how much alcohol to purchase & accomodated my guests' dietary needs (gluten & chocolate allergy). Tiffany made our wedding go so smoothly. The appetizers, drinks & the main course meals were amazing! The tri tip was medium rare (cooked to perfection) & the mahi mahi was amazingly lousy & tasty! It's so difficult to cook for large catered groups that I wasn't expecting too much. Wow, was I blown away by the food! I ate as much as I could during dinner. At the end of the evening Tiffany had kindly packed a meal for my husband & me. Once we got home around midnight, we devoured our packed meals & they were just as tasty! Tiffany catered & helped coordinate a large part of the wedding. She also set my the ceremony chairs, reception tables w/ the centerpieces, a kids corner with blankets & pillows, 2 separate lounge seating areas for the guests. She also had to coordinate where our shaved ice vendors, malasada delivery & Photobooth vendors would set it. The day went along so smoothly mainly due to Tiffany. I highly recommend Maui Catering Services!

    I recently contacted Dean Shigeoka of AJ and Sons Catering to cater a friend's destination wedding,…read moreand we received excellent service and excellent food! With only about three weeks notice, Dean was able to put together a great menu and cater a small wedding on the Hamakua Coast. He worked with me to decide a menu based on our budget and tastes. For $30 per person we got: - Appetizers (all three as a trio): stuffed Hamakua mushroom, Porchetta on bruschetta, Hamakua tomato jam with puma goat cheese on crostini - Salad: farmers market salad with lilikoi dressing - Main: local fish (market choice), sautéed, served with porcini risotto and farmer market veg - Vegan: vegan yellow curry and jasmine rice - Dessert: Fruit tart, incorporating local coconut, lilikoi, and pineapple. All of the food was AMAZING! My favorites were the vegan yellow curry, lilikoi dressing, and Hamakua tomato jam. I would order EVERYTHING again. Dean communicated well with me via an in-person meeting, email, and phone on narrowing down a menu, making food decisions, and finalizing plans. He and Audrey (mom and co-owner) arrived early to prep and setup a buffet line, cleared plates once people were finished, and cleaned up. I could not have asked for better food or better service. I highly recommend AJ and Sons Catering. They do any size party, though there is a $100 charge for parties smaller than 25, which makes total sense to make the event cost effective for them. Most caterers won't even consider doing small parties. I might even contact AJ and Sons Catering for future parties instead of going to a restaurant!

Being that we live on the mainland, we coordinated everything via email and phone, and everything worked wonderfully. The food was fabulous and Audrey made everything easy for us from set up, to serving and cleanup. Having used multiple caterers for many occasions, AJ and Sons was the BEST!

We had the Kalua pork, garlic butter shrimp (which were HUGE), rice and a salad with a creamy Asian dressing. We also had spicy ahi poke and sweet ahi poke for an appetizer. Mmmmmm.

She was VERY reasonably priced for the amount of food.

We had struggled to get responses from other catering options that we had been contemplating for our wedding. The team at Umeke's was not only incredibly responsive, they also made sure to check in with me through the entire process. Unfortunately I can't speak for how the food tasted, as our guest managed to eat everything before me and my husband had a chance to, which can only mean that the food was incredibly good and well received. We did have some Poke Bombs left over which my husband enjoyed the night after the wedding as well as the next day. We have discussed going to the restaurant and ordering the items we ordered for the wedding just so we could try them! So expect to see us there soon ordering possibly too much food, so we can finally enjoy what our guests were raving about. The team on-site was was super polite, accommodating, and left the area cleaner than how we got it! I will most certainly be recommending the catering services from Umeke's to anyone who asks.

She spent time curating a meal that met our dietary restrictions (one family member is GF, dairy free, and sugar free), while maintaining delicious flavors and not making some feel left out of the experience. We enjoyed the evening she put together from the appetizers and themed cocktails (plus mocktails for the kids), to her photographer that captured special moments from the evening, to savoring the yummy food. She also had wines picked out to match our meal and preferences. Every bite was yummy and enjoyed by all! She even prepared a special kids meal and kept the younger family members entertained with kid friendly foods and activities (like helping roll out the dinner rolls), we loved this special event, and will remember it forever!
