Thai Rice Spoon recently catered a party at our home, and the experience was fantastic. Tumi was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire process, offering great suggestions on what to order for 35 guests. Everything--from placing the order to payment, delivery, and setup--was seamless and stress-free. The food arrived fresh, and they even provided heating dishes to keep everything warm. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious--and we were still happily enjoying the leftovers for the next three days! I highly recommend this catering business for your next party. read more

This review is based on a delivery order we had for lunch. We ordered mushroom potstickers, beef fried rice, chicken pad Thai and edamame salad. Everything was delivered as expected and our group enjoyed the food. The mushroom potstickers were the 1st to go, we may need to order extra of those next time. read more

We reached out on Monday for a Saturday event, and I was blown away by how quickly and efficiently they worked with us to finalize our menu and packages. They made a tight deadline feel effortless. On the day of the party, delivery was perfectly on time, and the setup was completely professional and flawless. The food was absolutely fabulous and a massive hit with all of our guests. Incredible service from start to finish--highly recommend! read more

Ordered catering for my babyshower the food was amazing. Everybody went for 2nds and 3rds. Tumi was very response and was available to answer all my questions right away. Very patience and humble loved the overall experience with her. Would definitely order from her again! Everything was absolutely delicious!! read more

Tumi & her team delivered a fantastic experience for our event. The food was delicious and offered unique flavors that stood out from typical catering options. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and our guests loved it. Their team was professional, on time, and very easy to work with throughout the process. Communication was smooth and they made everything simple from planning to delivery. Highly recommend Thai Spoon if you're looking for flavorful, different food and reliable service for a party or event. Our guests were very happy! read more

We used Thai Rice Spoon catering for a party at our home and we couldn't be happier! They were organized and professional from the start, and it was easy to obtain a quote and menu via email. Our menu included chicken larb, vegetarian pineapple fried rice, vegetable and shrimp rolls, chicken satay, and pumpkin curry puffs. Our favorites were the pumpkin curry puffs and pineapple fried rice. They came on time and provided chafing material as well. We highly recommend Thai rice spoon catering and would happily use them again for another event! read more

Delivery was prompt. They set up all the warmers and have all the food trays ready. The tray selections we picked were all tasty. Our guests even asked for their business cards for their future party catering read more

This review is way overdue. But we ordered appetizers (150 guests) for my son's wedding cocktail hour and everyone loved it. Delivery and set up was easy and food of course was delicious. Thank you Thai Rice Spoon, even after a year the guests are still talking about how good the food was. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I had to after my friend's wedding. I actually went with my friend and her husband to the tasting and the food there was amazing. The owner promised us big portions with refills, everything served hot, and the same quality as the restaurant. So we really thought we were in good hands. However, on the actual wedding day, it was the complete opposite. The portions were tiny, definitely not enough for a full table, and of course there were no refills like they promised. Most of the food came out cold and a lot of guests didn't finish their plates because it just wasn't good. Both sides of the family were disappointed, which was heartbreaking, because no one wants the food to be the bad memory from a wedding. To make things worse, when my friend emailed them afterward with everyone's feedback, they never responded. No apology, no explanation, nothing. This is very unprofessional and irresponsible. Based on what we experienced, I honestly can't recommend them for a wedding. The promises at the tasting and what they actually delivered were two completely different things. Couples deserve way better on their big day. read more

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. read more

We ordered catering drop off from Thai Rice Spoon in Richmond Ca for 160 people. They were responsive right away and gave us many great options to choose from. The food arrived on time, fresh and hot! Our company loved it and everyone asked where it was from! Would definitely recommend for catering/business events, ect. Thanks so much, we will be back! read more

Tumi's catering is the best Asian food we've found in the Bay Area we've tasted and within our budget. We had a chance to taste twice and was impressed both times. Would highly recommend Thai Rice Spoon catering for your catering needs. We will definitely come to Thai Rice Spoon again for our future catering needs. read more

Their service is amazing and the food delicious. They catered our office holiday party and everyone was really happy with the food. The food portion was generous. Our food was set up with the chafing trays and so the food stayed warm for a good amount of time. Highly recommend their catering service! read more

Thai Rice Spoon Catering is wonderful. I highly recommend them for your next event. The food was delicious, the service was so professional and hospitable, and it was such great value for what I paid. Unless you are locked into a catering service by your venue, I highly, highly recommend Thai Rice Spoon. Tumi will take great care of you in the planning within your budget. You can even sample their food at their restaurant in Berkeley on University Ave if you want to get a sample of their quality of food. I'm a fan now. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Amazing food, would absolutely order again! They were easy to work with, pricing was great, and the food was delicious and accommodated all of our dietary needs. read more

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 read more

Tumi was very helpful in deciding on menu options for a birthday party for 10 adults and 4 young children. Everything arrived fresh and hot. The chafing dishes were displayed with tags indicating the titles of each dish. Finger food appetizers were served outside elegantly by Tommy in little paper containers. The food was delicious. We supplied our own birthday cake for dessert. I highly recommend the catering service. read more

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! read more

Thai Rice Spoon Catering - Food and drinks for 50 people! (Drink dispensers were ours; the drinks were catered in big bottles) - Caterers Near Me

We ordered Thai Rice Spoon Catering for our wedding in San Francisco. All the guests absolutely loved the food. The service was fantastic, the communication leading up to the day was perfect, and we absolutely loved everything we got. Tumi is fantastic! We highly recommend ordering Thai Rice Spoon Catering!! All the guests will rave about it! read more

After two years of planning a COVID wedding, Tumi and her team worked on my wedding during the Labor Day weekend in 2021. They were so gracious and shifted their team when our bartender did not show up. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to serve drinks at our wedding! In general, the food was good but we heard from our guests that we didn't have enough towards the end of the buffet line. The 100-degree weather was not in our favor as well as the food wilted quickly as it sat in the sun. Therefore, quality was compromised as well. Last thing I wanted to note was that Tumi was extremely flexible during the two-year postponed planning period. We heard horror stories about wedding vendors from our friends and family and am grateful it was so easy with our vendors, especially with Tumi and her team. I would highly recommend Tumi and her team to work your next event! read more

I'm a repeat customer, catering for work-related dinners. And eating lots of leftovers. I've had catering from many other local sources in the past, but there is no need to go anywhere else than Thai Rice Spoon Catering. Everything about the process is ideal: fast responses (in my case by email), on-time delivery to my dining room table, super tasty food (everything I've ordered over repeat events), generous portions, and really friendly and caring service. I want to have more events at my house just to have more catering from this business! Should have taken photos, didn't think of it at the time. Next time. read more

My friend used them for their wedding and we were all raving about the food. Super delicious. I would definitely use them if I have an event in the future. read more

We placed a catering order with Thai Rice Spoon Catering for our Christmas Party and the transaction went smoothly. The team acknowledged our order online and the invoicing went smoothly. The food arrived on time and loved that each of the items had their own item description. I would order again from Thai Rice Spoon and would highly recommend. read more

Thai Rice Spoon was one of three food vendors who catered our non-traditional market-style wedding, and they did an incredible job. When we started thinking of wedding food ideas, we half-jokingly wondered if there was a way to serve khao soi, our favorite curry noodle dish to family and friends, but it seemed like perhaps an impossible undertaking for a wedding. Not so! Tumi and the Thai Rice Spoon team pulled it off and blew us away. They set up a station serving khao soi, a marvel of a dish with no less than six components, as well as corn and cheese puffs, taro puffs, and papaya salad, and accommodating a variety of dietary preferences, while also taking care of cake cutting! The food was absolutely phenomenal, and the food and the service perfectly represented a night market noodle stand. Tumi and her staff were warm and thoughtful and we are so pleased that they were part of our wedding. read more

DELICIOUS FOOD! Tumi is such a kind person who was very accommodating since we had to reschedule our event 2-3 times because we kept postponing our wedding (due to COVID). She was very flexible with us and our planning and we will definitely order from her again if we need to cater an event. We had Thai Rice Spoon Catering for our rehearsal dinner the day before our wedding and ALL OF OUR GUESTS ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE FOOD! One of the main star dishes were the MANGO STICKY RICE -- everyone kept on getting seconds and thirds! Thanks again to Tumi and her team! She also has a restaurant in Berkeley called Thai Table, so you can go there to taste the food for your catering needs! read more

I now have a favorite go-to place for affordable and delicious catering when it comes to Thai Food when planning a large event to feed a good number of people and Thai Rice Spoon Catering is that place. Based out of West Berkeley's newest Thai restaurant Thai Table, Thai Rice Spoon was brought to my attention through a work colleague who managed to find an affordable caterer when looking for a vendor for a work function, in which we needed a large amount of food within a rather quick turn around, three weeks. Low and behold, through her search came Thai Rice Spoon Catering, which owner Tumi Supanee was kind enough to respond within twenty-four hours after she reached out to them via their email address. After informing her of our plight, Tumi suggested that a few colleagues head over to Thai Table to sample the food that her busy husband and Chef Andrew McGee prepares for catering and restaurant orders alike. Supanee is not only the owner of Thai Rice Spoon Catering and Thai Table but also co-owns Orchids Thai in Oakland, and McGee is co-owner of Berkeley's well-loved Albatross Pub. After sampling no fewer than eight dishes such as their curry chicken and basil eggplant, at a fifteen percent discount, we met up with Tumi at her restaurant and she explains what she could cook for us for our party which was scheduled to take place a mere week later. She guided us through their menu and what they could provide for our budget of 1,500 dollars for a party of about a hundred people. In the end, we decided to go with three large trays of their Pad Thai with Tofu ($119.95 each), two large trays of their Pad Ke Mao Chicken Large ($109 each), two large trays of their Yellow Curry Chicken ($109 each), two large trays of their Vegan Basil Eggplant Tofu ($103.95 each), one large tray of Pik king Green Bean with Beef ($109), one large tray of their Papaya Salad ($99.00), one large tray of their Jasmine Rice ($30.00), and one large tray of their Brown Rice ($40). With all of this food delivery was a very affordable $39 which was remarkable since the food came across the Bay Bridge at rush hour. Leading up to our party, Tumi was nice enough to keep our team updated on the status of our order and she offered us ninety complimentary paper plates and utensils, which I gladly took advantage of since I didn't know if we had enough supplies for our party and extra is always appreciated. We scheduled our order to arrive at 4 p.m. on the day of our party and their delivery driver Tom was right on time. After checking over everything they brought us and verifying that everything that our order was correct we were ready to place their foil tray into the chafing dishes that we had on our own. They do charge extra for set up and display in addition to serving, but we decided to keep things simple tonight and did everything ourselves. When all was said and done our total bill came out to a very reasonable $1,450.00 for roughly 100 diners. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and how good everything tasted. If we could change one thing about our order was that we shouldn't have ordered an extra tray of Pad Thai as our attendees wanted to try the huge variety of dishes we offered and they devoured food really fast and therefore couldn't finish off all of the noodles we ordered. In fact, we should have just order two trays of both the Papaya Salad and the Pik king Green Bean with Beef because as luck would have it, those two trays ran out first. Also, I'm not sure if Jasmine Rice is a popular option in today's health conscious world as the Brown Rice was eaten like crazy while in the end I had a huge tray of dry white rice. But then again, different people have different tastes and you never know how things are going to be eaten in large groups until the party is over. Would I order from Thai Rice Spoon Catering? In a San Francisco minute, especially since they also serve classic Thai appetizers like Spring Rolls and Chicken Satay. I can only image how lovely their presentation is for those dishes is like, but after our order this time I know how good their food tastes at Thai Rice Spoon Catering. read more

I worked with Tumi on a small catering order for my employers. She was wonderful to work with and the food was a hit! This will be my personal favorite Thai restaurant from now on. read more

We had Thai Rice Spoon cater our wedding this past year and they were phenomenal to work with. Tumi was very communicative and easy to work with - and she was so understanding about the pandemic and accommodated our 2 date changes. And our guests loved the food! We had thai iced tea, hors d'oeuvres of curry puffs, chicken satay, and spring rolls that the catering team passed out to our guests during cocktail hour, and a bunch of curries and different noodle dishes that were served buffet style for dinner. They even helped plate our desserts (mochi donuts that we ordered from another vendor) with flowers :) Loved working with Tumi and her team - and shoutout to the awesome bartender as well - our guests loved him! read more

Read my Thai Table review on food quality. The food is excellent. The catering service is awesome as well. Tumi responded and quickly processed my order for the next day even though she was slammed with Mother's Day orders. The food was hot and well packaged during my time of pickup. Payment is easy, you can pay through Square in the email link sent by Tumi via email. Thanks for helping me feed the brave souls at the Berkeley Encampment! read more

This catering service by Tumi is the best catering experience I have ever had. I found her business on a yelp search and I just fell in love with the presentation of her finger foods. I ordered a couple of dishes to taste test and they were all so delicious! I ordered 6 small bites and 4 entrees and my guests said they were all individually so good! There wasn't one item that lacked flavor. Not only was the food great, her presentation was sooo beautiful! (Please see my photo) I got so many compliments from my guests as well as from people reaching out to me on social media. Big plus for me: I had a couple of guests that were vegan and it's always a challenge to have some options for them that still taste good. Tumi made 6 whole dishes (3 starters, 3 entrees) fully vegan for my guests! Tumi was so great to work with as well. She was so polite from beginning to end and was prompt to get back to me no matter how many questions I had. I will definitely be booking them again for future events! Thank you Tumi! read more

Thai Rice Spoon Catering - Presentation of Appetizers: Chicken satay, pork and chicken dumplings, shrimp wraps, crispy, vegan rolls, mushroom dumplings, golden sacks. - Caterers Near Me

Found Thai Rice Spoon Catering on Yelp when I was looking for a restaurant to cater food for a triple birthday party. This place definitely did not disappoint in terms of quality, but it was a little pricey in my opinion. We ordered: - Small tray of Yellow Curry with Chicken ($54.95) - Small tray of Chicken Satay Skewers ($45) - Small tray of Fried Calamari ($45) - Small tray of Fresh Shrimp Rolls ($45) - Small tray of Crispy Vegetable Rolls ($45) - Small tray of Jasmine Rice ($15) Our total came out to be $273 or so with tax and honestly, it was pretty expensive. The food was delicious, however, it was not enough to feed 15-20 people. We ended up ordering some trays of fried chicken, spare ribs and noodles from Chinatown. But, it was nice to have the sides and specialty dishes prepared by Thai Rice Spoon Catering. Would definitely recommend! read more

Dear Tumi, My Wife & I truly appreciate the experience we had with your Catering services. From your recommendations and expertise to your polite and forbearing persona, every aspect of our dealings with you was amazing. Our Wedding was a huge success in part because of the dinner. While you clearly met my expectations, where you exceeded was with your willingness to work out everything in accordance to my budget, and initiate cost cutting systems. Thank you and we wish you success and countless blessings. Warmest regards, Brandon & Ekhlas read more

Thai Rice Spoon Catering - Caterers Near Me

The dish that started us down the crazy path of creating a Night Market Wedding was none other than khao soi -- our favorite messy curry noodle dish that we'd seen street vendors sling out of stalls in Thailand with ease. Finding a khao soi caterer in the Bay Area was actually more challenging than we realized at first...but then we reached out to Thai Rice Spoon and they were up for the challenge of making the dish for our outdoor wedding! From the very start, Tumi and her team were a wonder to work with! They created a really great menu for us -- including papaya salad, corn+cheese and taro puffs, as well as THE khao soi. They also handled our cake cutting and have a ton of catering experience! Thank you so much for making our khao soi dreams come true, Tumi and Thai Rice Spoon! We look forward to working with you again soon. read more

Choosing Thai Rice Spoon for catering was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Tumi and her team were easy to communicate with, happy to work with us to make the menu and format right for our event, and just generally an absolute delight. We found TRS to be a far better value than other caterers we looked into, and much more flexible to work with. And, of course, the food was fantastic!! So many guests commented that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, and the staff ran everything flawlessly from start to finish. I can't recommend Thai Rice Spoon highly enough. Khob khun kha, Khun Tumi and team!! read more

Ordered catering for a holiday party and it was a huge hit. Thai Rice Spoon's team was lightning fast in responding to my request and helping me customize my order for my guests. They arrived early for the drop off time and set up everything beautifully. There were hardly any leftovers (highly recommend their dumplings ) and everyone left full and happy. Looking forward to booking them again! read more

We used TRS for our wedding and it was an absolute slam dunk! Tumi was incredible to work with. She was kind, flexible, and communicative. We had a huge number of food allergies and restrictions, and they were able to accommodate all of them. We had over a hundred people in a buffet and we were initially nervous that it would go slowly, but Tumi and her team managed it seamlessly and everyone was in and out quickly. Everyone has been absolutely raving about the food! I can't recommend them enough. read more

Food was great and everything was handled very professionally, from the first contact thru the day of the event. Tumi and her team were very responsive to all inquiries and all the available options were made very clear. On the day of the event the servers arrived in a timely way and worked well with our event coordinator, and were very kind and attentive throughout. Couldn't have been happier and would definitely use them again. read more
