They also offer main dishes that serves 1-2 people that change daily. When I visited, they had galbi jjim, which was absolutely delicious. As the name suggests, they do catering but you should give at least 5-7 days' notice especially during the holidays. I tried to place a catering order during Thanksgiving week and wasn't able to because they were already fully booked. If they were closer, I'd come here at least twice a week to replenish my banchan fix. Nonetheless, I always go out of my way to return!

Don't be fooled by the outer appearance of this catering house. At Joeun, we chose three items from…read morethem for catering: JAPCHAE (glass noodles with assorted vegetables), TEMPURA SHRIMP, and GANGJUNG CHICKEN (sweet and sour fried chicken). They did a PHENOMENAL job getting the order ready precisely on time. The food was a huge SUCCESS! Our guests especially loved the Japchae, with several people asking where it was from. I mentioned that this place specializes in catering, so individual orders might not be possible. The Tempura Shrimp was also a BIG HIT and was the FIRST ITEM TO DISAPPEAR from the buffet platters. Finally, the Gangjung Chicken was DELICIOUS, boasting a perfectly crispy texture and a wonderfully balanced, savory flavor. At the end of the party, I was thrilled to have leftovers to enjoy the following day.

The banh khots and egg rolls are crispy and tasty, especially with the fresh herbs/veggies and fish sauce! We always order a combination of banh khots and egg rolls. It's easy to order through their online system, although I did notice the prices are a few dollars cheaper on the signs in the store. I think the extra cost is worth it though, considering we have a long drive and want to guarantee that we get what we want. While we were sitting there eating, a number of people came in to order, and those who ordered on the spot seemed to have to wait awhile for their food to be prepared. I highly recommend trying this spot when you're in the area. I wish there were places like this closer to LA!

Each piece was perfectly crisp and cooked, even after sitting out for a few hours, it was still soo good. I love the amount of lettuce and herbs they give. I would've like the sauce to be a little more acidic, maybe a lime wedge would've really made it 10/10. but it was absolutely solid. Can't wait to get some more! Only con, it is a little pricey.

From start to finish, their team delivered a warm, wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding--beautifully prepared, delicious, and thoughtfully presented. Every detail felt professionally handled, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy such an important milestone with our family and friends. What really stood out was their communication. They were responsive, attentive, and collaborative throughout the planning process, making everything seamless and stress-free. It's clear they care deeply about their clients and take pride in their work. On top of all that, their pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality and service provided. I wouldn't hesitate to use Taylor Made Cuisine again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to host a memorable, professionally catered event.

We really enjoyed the garlic noodles, musubi, toasts, short ribs, and veggies. I personally enjoyed the food so much that I stopped by lunch service. Picked up a Philly Melt, Salmon Soba Noodle Salad, and Vietnamese Coffee cookie. The food was made to order. It was prepared hot and fresh. The salmon had such good flavor. Unfortunately, they forgot to pack the dressing for the soba noodles so I didn't get to enjoy it fully. Nonetheless, the Philly Melt was very savory and so good with the grilled onions. Cookie was also tasty and has a nice chew. Overall enjoyed Chef Carol's food and excited to come back for lunch service.

From the outset, we were incredibly pleased to work with Brittany as our event specialist for our…read moreNovember wedding at Serra Plaza. Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!

I booked XeoHello for my tea ceremony luncheon and everyone loved it, even my mom (who always says she can make things better at home haha). Andy was very helpful throughout the whole process. He answered all of my questions and provided details on what the service entails. For about 85 guests, I ordered about 100-110 banh xeos and had many other trays of food. I highly recommend ordering 1.5 banh xeos per expected guest since many people had 2 or more! On the day of, Andy and his crew showed up on time as promised and started making banh xeos at the requested time. The banh xeos came out hot and crispy! They provided all the fixings: lettuce, herbs, carrots/daikon, nuoc mam/fish sauce, and chopsticks. Many of our friends and family raved about how good the banh xeo was! We had a small amount of leftovers, which they packed togo. Andy and his team were amazing! The catering price was reasonable and the food was great. Will definitely hire again in the future!

From the moment we walked in, Lou HIMSELF greeted us with genuine warmth and pride in his business. He gave us a quick rundown and we ordered two plates of beef ribs with mac salad and potato salad, plus honey cornbread, banana pudding, and a drink. I expected to pay at least $60, but the total was only $43-- an unbelievably amazing price are u kidding me? The food was ready almost immediately, and we enjoyed it on the cozy back patio. The beef ribs literally fell off the bone as Lou packed them, and the char and tenderness were perfect. The barbecue sauce on the side was spot on. Lou even gave us a free hot link to try, which had that perfect snap I love in hot links and just the right amount of spice. We loved it so much we went back for a hot link order, more potato salad, and some beans (also only $10 btw). Those beans... were so good they made us take a walk to comprehend it. I actually had to go back inside to tell Lou how amazing they were. Overall, the hospitality, the prices, and the quality of the food make Sweet Lou's BBQ a no brainer must-visit. We'll definitely be back, and I recommend everyone support this small business and be blessed by their delicious food.

Right away, they were very welcoming and helpful. Since it was my first visit, they took the time to walk me through the menu, answer questions, and chat with me a bit. They came across as genuine, friendly, and happy to help, which really stood out. I ordered the combo plate, which comes with brisket, pulled pork, sausage, turkey, and one side. I chose the potato salad. Everything on the plate was superb. The brisket, pulled pork, and sausage were all great, but I was honestly surprised by the turkey. I didn't expect it to be as good as the other meats, but it was tender, juicy, and really flavorful. The potato salad was also a great classic potato salad and paired really well with the BBQ. Overall, this was a great first experience. Friendly people, great food, and a welcoming local business. If you'd like to support a local business where you're treated like family and not just a number, go to Lou's. I'll definitely be back. *This review deserves a pic of the plate but, unfortunately, I accidentally at it all before I wrote this.
