I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

This is an absolutely STELLAR catering business. My brother hired them for his wedding, and they…read moreDID NOT DISAPPOINT. The dishes came out together, and the bride and wedding party got served first. The dishes, despite being plenty in amount, all came out warm and beautiful in appearance. They were constantly going around delivering dishes, cleaning up plates, and refilling water. I'm immensely happy with the experience. The staff were all wearing matching uniforms, so they were easily spotted and were also incredibly professional. Shortly after the ceremony, they came out multiple times with the hors d'oeuvres and sought out people who had asked to try the next batch when the plate was empty. They were very thorough and offered multiple times to make sure everyone was satisfied prior to the dinner. During the speeches, they were respectful and didn't come around or get in anyone's way. They definitely can work around a crowd without being obstructive. I highly recommend that if you need to cater an event, you hire this company!

We chose Culinary Kitchen for our recent wedding in Julian, CA this past June and my husband and I…read moreare incredibly thankful that we got to work with Ashley and JP for our big day! Food and catering service were some of our highest priorities to get right during our wedding and Culinary Kitchen was phenomenal every step of the way. Our communication with Ashley and and JP before, during, and after the wedding was exceptional. From the very beginning, Ashley was very responsive and regularly checked in with us, which helped me feel less overwhelmed by all the catering decisions we needed to make. I tend to err on being extremely detail oriented and I asked tons of questions early on. Ashley was so patient and thorough with each email I had sent over even before booking. Before choosing our caterer, we did 3 different wedding caterer tastings and Culinary Kitchen easily was the best of all three (we're still thinking about the gochujang meatballs and the cavatappi pasta with fennel sausage!!). On our wedding day, the food service ran seamlessly and our guests often commented on how good the food was (guests were actually trying to sneak chicken tenders off the kids plates because even the kids meals were so good). Their team also helped us serve our desserts, did our bartending, and rented/placed all of our table settings, all at very reasonable prices as part of the entire catering package. The team also went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests' special dietary needs while still helping us stay within budget and recommending a cohesive menu. One last thing - we did A LOT of research on different San Diego caterers before our wedding (I think we sent out inquiries to at least 10 other caterers) and Culinary Kitchen's catering packages felt the most "upscale" and comprehensive without leaving us feeling nickel and dimed for every line item. I truly felt like their team was on our side the whole way. THANK YOU Culinary Kitchen for catering our wedding day!! We wish you guys the best of success!

We knew we wanted a "Taco guy" but we did not have any referrals or suggestions. I looked on Yelp and found Tacos El Chove. As I read the positive reviews, I took the chance and hired him. Jose was fairly priced, highly responsive, and his tacos were excellent! Jose made carne, chicken, and pastor proteins, rice, beans, and aqua fresco. Again, the food was excellent. In fact, the business where we had our event is interested in hiring Tacos El Chove for their future events. Long story short - if you are searching for a "taco guy" and run across Tacos El Chove in Yelp. Trust the reviews (like I did), trust my review and book Jose! David

We also had the island style fish and huli huli chicken. Highly recommend both. Loved the sides and the dessert was amazing! I could eat the banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut butter mochis every day. Yum. Thanks again for an amazing event!

Out of a 5 star rating, I would give 100 !!! Kalei's Kitchenette, I can not thank you enough for…read moresuch a caring and personalized service, INCREDIBLE food, and new friendships made. I originally wanted them to cater my wedding and while we didnt quite go that direction, I loved them so much and wanted to support them so badly that I circled back with them for my DREAM rehearsal lunch. I had a crazy idea that I wanted to do a kamayan style lunch to celebrate my Filipino heritage and they were not only super onboard but even brought the flowers to bring it to life (unexpected and almost made me cry lol). Garlic Chicken, Lechon , Lumpia , Veggie Medley , Garlic Rice, Pancit - it was all SO GOOD. My family and friends told me they were drooling over it like 10 times before we could even give our thank you speech to start the meal - and once eaten, everyone RAVED and also kept asking where the food was from (which of course I raved about back). A huge mahalo to Khara who has been the sweetest soul and rock to lean on when bringing the vision to life , Morgan who stepped in with administrative coordination, Chef Andy of course for the DELICIOUS meal(s), and the whole Kalei's Kitchenette ohana. This will not be the last of me, my family, or my friends , so until next time! Thank you so much again!
