    We were so pleased with the food and service for our wedding - Tumi and the team at Thai Rice Spoon Catering were amazing! Before the event, Tumi was communicate and able to accommodate all of our guest's dietary needs, but still provide all the dishes that we wanted on our big day. Day of, all of our guests were commenting on how delicious the food was and multiple people went back for seconds! Loved working with the Thai Rice Spoon Catering Team - cannot recommend them enough.

    Tumi and her team provided delicious meal and great service at our wedding of ~120 people last month. We've received so many compliments on the food, and our guests were thrilled to try all the different dishes we had selected -- everyone agreed that having Thai food was more exciting than the typical wedding meal. Tumi was also thoughtful enough to bring me and my wife a sampling of the appetizers that were served during the cocktail hour, when we were too busy to eat. We hope to attend more Thai Rice Spoon-catered events so that next time we're really able to focus on savoring the food!

    We wanted to go for Thai food as my side is Chinese-Vietnamese and his side is South Indian and Thai food seems like good compromise with lots of vegetarian options. One of our favorite places for Thai food is Thai Elephant in East SJ (iykyk). Only thing is that they don't do catering. So we went with Thai Rice and it was perfect! We went up to Berkeley where they have a restaurant and we had lunch as our tasting. Everthing was delicious and we got a small discount since it was for the reception. They are very affordable for catering and they provide a lot of food! On the day of, Tumi and her staff were so great! They walked around with the appetizers, made sure all the food was labelled, brought the red chill flakes, and even to-go boxes that I requested. They even cut the cake with no extra charge! Guests told us it was the best wedding food that they've ever had and the Indian aunties loved that there was no fish smell to any of the vegetarian dishes. 10/10

    We chose Thai Rice Spoon to cater our recent wedding this past week and I'm so happy we did! Before committing to it, we tried out several of their dishes and got the chance to meet the owner Tumi. She was so sweet and the fact that she came out to meet us helped us decide to go with this spot to cater our small reception for 13 people. All the food was extremely delicious and our guests enjoyed it as well. They even delivered it to our reception spot in Pacifica (well worth the fee). They also had wire chaffing dishes with sterno fuel to keep the food warm available to make set up easy. If you're looking for someone to cater your next event, I'd highly recommend Tumi and Thai Rice Spoon catering!

    Food and drinks for 50 people! (Drink dispensers were ours; the drinks were catered in big bottles)

    I had to pull together a last-minute teacher appreciation meal (ordering Wednesday night for a Fri lunch!). Tumi and her team made an otherwise stressful task into a very smooth and enjoyable experience. She responded very quickly to texts and emails, helped me put together a menu that accommodated everyone's needs, and offered things I hadn't thought of (like takeout containers for leftovers). The person who delivered and helped set up the food was also very sweet. All the food and drinks were delicious, super flavorful, and not too heavy. Thank you, Tumi and team! You made 50 hardworking teachers very happy, and you made my week so much easier! I would love to work with you again!

    Leading up to our wedding, working with On the Roll Catering and Events was a great experience…read more Lena was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The tastings were excellent, and we truly felt heard. They were open to our feedback and made adjustments based on our preferences. The cocktail hour was a highlight - the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and our guests were raving about it. However, the dinner service didn't go quite as smoothly. We were running a bit behind schedule transitioning guests from cocktail hour to their seats, and the catering team served all the food before everyone was seated. As a result, our meals - and many of our guests' - were cold by the time we ate. Additionally, wine and water weren't placed on the tables before the food service began, despite having discussed our wine service preferences in detail during a planning meeting. My husband, my dad, and our venue coordinator all voiced their frustration during the event, and it took longer than expected for the situation to be addressed. Some of the groomsmen even took it upon themselves to grab bottles of wine and serve guests directly, which was helpful, but clearly not something they should have had to do. On top of that, far too many bottles of wine were opened unnecessarily, so we had to send open bottles home with their staff instead of saving them for another occasion. That said, our guests still commented that the food itself was good. We just wish the day-of coordination had matched the quality of the planning phase. With a bit more attention to timing and execution, this could have been a five-star experience.

    The food is excellent! Customer service is also amazing. Masha especially! Everyone at the baby…read moreshower raved about the food. We had: chicken, salmon, tagine, quinoa, arugula salad, deviled eggs, steak crostini, and potatoes. We will definitely work with them again.

    I am just speechless!…read more  I was worried because of the rain but their delivery team made the delivery and set up experience so easy! Your staff was excellent!   It was beautifully set up! I never imagined how the risers would change the look and feel of the dishes on the tables. Just gorgeous and so much more appealing! I loved not worrying about serving utensils! The name plates describing each platter was icing on the cake! The food was spectacular! I was stunned by the number of people who complimented the vegan and vegetarian options. Both vegans and vegetarians were tickled pink about our thoughtfulness to spike out specific dishes for them and our carnivores couldn't get enough of it as well. Simply put, my guests told me they never had vegan food that actually tasted delicious!     All in all, I love the hors d'oeuvres and mini dessert meals! People came hungry and left satiated so that's compliment enough! I also love how everything was compostable!   Clean up was a piece of cake and the pick-up process allowed us to go out for a nice family brunch before our families headed home!   Thank you so much!!!  You will be hearing from me again and again!   And did I mention, I had NO leftovers! My son's friends came over and finished up what little was left. Nancy M. was absolutely right on about the amount of food and dessert I needed. I loved having no leftovers!!!

    Cold, military-style, and deeply disappointing farewell from Standard Fare…read more.. My wife and I have been going to Standard Fare for over a year. The food was always good, but the service was never particularly warm--polite, efficient, and impersonal, like a well-drilled operation. Today we took a twenty-minute ride with our six-week-old baby for one last visit before they close for good. We arrived before their advertised closing time, yet were coldly denied service. There was no one waiting behind us, but we were met with an inflexible, robotic "sorry, we're closed." No one was overtly rude, but the interaction felt rigid and mechanical, as if following procedure mattered more than acknowledging the people standing in front of them. It would not have taken much effort to accept one last order from a loyal couple with a newborn--especially since nobody else was waiting behind us. In the end, Standard Fare is closing exactly as it operated: precise, rigid, and lacking warmth. Hopefully the next business in this location will treat its customers with a bit more empathy.

    Very cute and quaint spot for breakfast. A friend suggested we meet here on Saturday for a late…read morebreakfast, what a great choice. It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer. Although the seating was full, thank goodness out food came out just as some seats were emptying out. It was a chilly day and the outside seating was full too. The service was without any complaints. They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!! Put it on your list, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
