    The chef and staff at Custom Catering Hawaii were professional, helpful, friendly and prepared outstanding food for our party. Thomas was so easy and fun to work with in coming up with a menu. He used fresh over the top fresh ingredients like sushi grade ahi, mongchong, crab, local veggies and herbs. Our guests were thrilled with the food, service and felt special and honored to have been present. This was not the first time we had hired Custom Catering Hawaii and it would be the last!

    ABSOLUTEY DO NOT HIRE FARM TO TABLE KAUAI OR ARCH AND ARBORS! We worked with the owner and chef for…read morea year to plan and execute a small wedding only to have the him turn into the most unhinged and unprofessional person imaginable just 10 days out from the event. Cancelling the event because of his ego, while insulting and harassing us all along the way. *Backstory* We hired farm to table to provide rehearsal and wedding dinner, and all decor for a 25 person wedding in Kauai. The chef also agreed to receive additional wedding items at his house with the agreement that he could keep any items that would be useful to his business once the event ended. Throughout the whole process my fiancé really struggled to get even the most basic communication from this guy. We ended up having to ship most of the stuff elsewhere it was so bad. 2 months before the event we sent a final head count and requested an updated invoice. He ignored not only our initial request, but FIVE REQUESTS for an updated invoice! Fast forward to two weeks before the event (the cut off point for requesting a refund) and all of sudden he starts aggressively harassing us for payment, while he still had not sent us an invoice. He then gives us several different invoices (including a screen shot of a calculator?) all with different amounts none of which appear to be correct, before finally giving us the right one. He demands immediate payment through a cash app. We could only send half of the amount through zelle so we sent the first half of the payment and told him we would send the second half the next day after the limit reset. He demanded that we use another cash app before agreeing to wait. The next day before the reset had occurred he threatened to charge a late fee that was not in the contract. When my fiancé called him to discuss this, he became belligerent and started yelling over her, eventually hanging up and following up with some nasty text messages. We sent the final payment that night despite everything that happened and then he stopped responding to her completely. At this point I take up communication with him as seen in the messages below. The messages attached speak for themselves but the tldr is: I told him that I was disappointed with the way he handled the situation and suggested that he apologize to the bride. He instead trash talks my bride to me and then in a mocking manner demand that she apologize to him. At this point I let him know how that his behavior had become so odd and erratic that we were growing concerned for our safety around him. His response is to immediately cancel the event and threaten to throw our stuff away. He claimed to have bought all the food already (10 whole days out from the event) and said he would not be returning any money. When I asked him to confirm that he was indeed cancelling he began to really spiral out, trash talking me and my fiancé, trying to characterize our business agreement as a personal favor. Saying that every time my fiancé emailed him that he and his partner would trash talk her. I tried making good faith offers to unwind the deal amicably which he mocks while continuing to ramble on about a bunch of made up grievances (including complaining about off menu items which he offered). In the end he took all of our money, and did nothing but torture us for a year with his incompetence. I sent one last text offering to allow him to keep the deposit money to settle out of court, which he mocked, bragged about how good his lawyer is and seemed to indicate that he does this often. In total this man took around $8000 dollars from us and left us scrambling to replan a wedding merely days before it was to take place. He expressed no sympathy, no remorse, and mocked the pain he put us through. Please do not hire this man or any of his related companies.

    We hired Corey Stokes and 2 others to cook, serve and clean up for a party of 15 in Hanalei…read more Everything was amazing. Corey and his team were professional and the food was delicious. Throwing a last minute birthday dinner while on vacation was not something I originally planned for. It was so easy working with Corey while in California. He provided a great menu with selections to choose from but was also very open to making other dishes. I opted to choose from his menu and it was amazing. He prepared and assortment of fresh sushi rolls, brushetta w/olive tapenade for appetizers. Dinner was an island version of cesar salad (with seared ahi tuna, nice touch), fresh broiled ono, filet mignon, roasted veggies.. all with an island touch. we had planned to take care of dessert ourselves but unfortunately, the icecream we had was too runny to serve, Corey and his team jumped in by running to the local market to get fresh icecream and they served it with yummy fresh fruit that they brought as a back up. I highly recommend if you are planning an event to hire Corey and his team. The price was very competitive, the food and service amazing. So easy to work with. Wish he was here in the mainland!! Mahalo!

    We had Chef Cory cook two dinners during our trip to Kauai and they were spectacular! He was very…read moreflexible in the meals and showcased a wide range of cuisines. We opted for Hawaiian / Pan-Asian for our menu and had some the best meals we ever tasted. We had a group of 15 people, 9 grown up foodies and some children who are very picky eaters. He somehow made food that made everyone happy. As a grandpa himself, he knew how to make kids food and wasn't bothered by the little kids running around while he cooked. As a parent of young kids, it was totally worth it compared to the hassles of organizing, transporting, and dealing with everyone going out to a restaurant with 15 people... this was nice and easy. This was our first private chef experience so we didn't know what we were getting into, but he made it very easy for us throughout the process, from meal planning to clean up.. Chef Cory's pricing was similar to the other options on the island and his initial quote was fairly accurate compared to the final invoice. I will definitely hire him again next time I'm in Kauai!

No worries if anyone has dietary restrictions/allergies, she has lots of tricks up her sleeve in terms of delicious alternatives to fit each person. She is super sweet, thoughtful, & wonderful to work with. We hired her as our chef during our stay, & also had her do some grocery services. Nadia, along with her staff were prompt, courteous, and very professional. We enjoyed the food so much. Let's just say you can kiss your diet goals out the window, because you won't want to miss out on her yummy creations. Not only did she serve us fantastic meals, she also knew a lot of cool things to do on the island, and has good restaurant recommendations as well. She is in high demand, especially during peak tourist season, so book early! I snatched her up 2 months before our 2 week trip, and there were a lot of sad people left out in the rain to fend for themselves. Cannot express enough how highly I recommend her! 100 bajillion stars plus 1 dinosaur! P.S. - she didn't mind working on the holidays at all ;)

    If I could give 10 stars I would give 11 for Nadia. I don't think I've had one bad or mediocre…read morething from her. From her food options, to plating, to custom cocktails, all the way down to her cutlery and table cloths- everything was top notch. She can customize your food options if you have any allergies and has a wide range of different food options for you to choose from. I was extremely impressed with her team and professionalism, and would hire her again in a heartbeat! As a small business owner, it's encouraging to see honest hard working entrepreneurs like Nadia who go above and beyond for their clientele and make them feel like guests, and not just customers. If you're thinking of booking with her TRUST it's going to be a party in your mouth! Run, don't walk and contact her today!
