Nobody says bad things about this place in terms of food quality, customer services, and community consciousness & contribution. I have been getting their pastries, cakes, tarts, sandwiches, and deli food. Oh their coffee is best on the street. Today, I got - Ravioli salad with mushrooms & arugula: This is my favorite. Seasoning is modest, which makes the ingredients' natural rich flavor stand out. Every time I eat this, I appreciate the different wild mushrooms' textures and natural, earthy flavors. So delicate! - Beef Stir fry: First time to try this and loved this! The beef is cut into generous chunk, and was suuuuupeerrr tender. I did not reheat this in microwave as it may kill this perfectly done beef's texture. Price is on higher end, but in my opinion, well worth it.

We had guests rave about how good the food was...from the hors d'oeuvre's at cocktail hour (we had 7 different options), and all the courses served at dinner, we did not hear one single complaint. We had people telling us it was the best food they have had at a wedding. The staff were exceptional! They had so many staff on site that not one thing was missed at any table. They also easily accommodated any allergy or dietary restrictions. Communication throughout the planning process was also amazing. Ximena was incredible. She answered every single question in detail and her response time to all our emails were always so fast. Even when we had our tasting, the treatment and service we received was incredible. They made the planning process feel way less stressful because they were just so on top of everything. If you need a caterer for anything, I highly highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

We had two options to choose from: Jerk Chicken and regular fried chicken both served with coleslaw and fried rice. The coleslaw tasted a bit off. I am not sure what it is but I didn't like it.

Eventhough it was soggy but it had a really good flavor to it. I didn't end up eating all the fried chicken but not the fried rice. I heard from my colleague that the jerk chicken was not spicy enough. Overall the food was ok. I can't expect too much from catered food.

He takes great care of listening on what you want and present a wide variety of options that cater to your needs and your budget. The food is to die for as it is a unique experience and there are many dishes that I have never seen before. He has catered for groups ranging from 10 to 90 which is quite a range especially since he has only a few helpers. You can tell that he loves sharing his food with others and takes great care to ensure the experience is enjoyable. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to try a new unique catering experience to try him out. If you are thinking of attending the Junk Food Festival in Mississauga, pass by and try his offering. He had a booth during this past weekend's Toronto version of the festival and it was a big hit with the crowds. Make sure you get there early so you avoid the lines at his booth. He took great lengths to make sure the meal was perfect by cooking it fresh.

We hosted our annual meetup group BBQ at Wasaga Beach this past weekend, and due to the large…read morenumber of attendees (90 people), we realized that we might need to consider outsourcing to professional help in preparing higher quality bbq fare,in addition to the regular BBQ food offerings we normally provided. We searched and found Rice Box and obtained their services to help us with their on-site cooking catering service. Based on our budget and our goals for the event, they proposed a customized menu that was suitable for what we were looking for, it Included Cucumber lemonade, watermelon salad, pulled pork sandwich, and lemon tart. After comparing to other proposals from other catering services, We came to the conclusion that Rice Box had the best cost/benefit ratio, and decided to try them out. The result at the bbq was much better then what we had expected, and was very well received by our attendees. The food quality was excellent and freshly cooked on site, and it had visibly improved the overall perceived level of quality of our event with an elevated touch of upscale dining fare. The end result was that we were glad that we had outsourced this part to Ricebox, they've handled our lunch group of 90 people with flying colors and we would definitely use them again in the future. Jordan was easy to work with, and was flexible in accomodating to our needs and what we were trying to achieve for our event. They've also indicated that they can also do wedding and bridal shower party catering as well, would def consider them if we ever have that need in the future.

My Italian family, often so picky, loved it. Even the vegetarian dishes were a hit even though everyone loves meat. So much so, no left overs of anything! I didn't get to eat anything except a little antipasti since I was busy hosting/ feeding everyone. That's a sign of a successful party/ great food! Thanks, Sonia & Parlatos!!!!!! Grazie tanti!!

I helped with a wedding with several hundred guests catered by M&O. Jordan as a person was a clear…read morecommunicator. The food was delicious. However, the set-up (name cards/place settings/centerpieces) was at a glacial pace such that there was no time for wedding helpers to verify all hundreds of name cards were placed at the correct seats by M&O staff. A second consequence was that guests were unable to mingle in the reception hall any earlier despite the ceremony having ended early, and some guests were forced to wait outside despite the cold. Jordan attempted to offer alternatives, but the set up staff did not speed up the set up process, and guests continued to wait outside the reception hall in a standing room only lobby area (and expressed frustration about that). Name cards were swapped/the opposite of what the bride outlined in the seating chart, so that at long rectangular tables a husband/wife were sitting at opposite ends. The staff potentially were not from M&O (potentially outsourced from a different company) but some did not clarify seating, and as a result, mixed up all the food orders. Some individual waitstaff were quite good about verifying name card placements but others did not verify them at all. Hopefully no one had a severe allergic reaction that night, as the seating chart from the bride and the reality of where names were placed were completely different for some tables. M&O also took boxes of glasses filled with water one by one to set up (instead of wheeling out several carts which would have expedited the process) and set everything up extremely slowly. Staff also served only 2 plates at a time, with about 6-8 people being served at a time. At a large wedding, this was disastrous because it took more than 40 minutes for them to serve the main course to everyone. This threw off the whole schedule of speeches so in the end we were more than an hour behind schedule. They also expressed a preference for people to be seated while the courses were being served due to the tight space (the tables were quite close together because the venue should not have allowed so many guests in that particular hall/room), which is a tad unreasonable at a wedding with several hundred people. In the end, guests couldn't enjoy the photo booth nor mingle as freely, and the schedule was extremely behind because speeches couldn't go on while people were in the middle of being served. Not sure if M&O outsourced their waitstaff to a 3rd party company that night, but would not recommend to anyone unfortunately despite the food tasting good.
