Jenn was absolutely a delight to speak with during the entire ordering process! This was my first experience to cater with them and it was not a disappointment! Since they are a small business and take on catering only orders, sample availability was as long as it was part of a current order. We got to schedule a time to conveniently pickup up samples from them and even with those--we were drooling! We were able to sample the lumpia, the cebuchon and pork bbq skewers and they were all flavorful & juicy. Their lumpia was crispy--not soggy, even after traveling home with us; and their paired sauces for lumpia and the meats were unique and I could drink it lol. We had to have more so we made a large order for our upcoming event and bday Boodle fight! The ease of ordering, arranging pickup/delivery was smooth and our event turned out wonderful! We will definitely be ordering again from UBE Snacks & BBQ!! read more

Last minute was looking for a Filipino dessert place to cater for my engagement party and found Ube Snacks online! SO HAPPY I DID! I texted on a Wednesday for my party on Saturday and they were able to accommodate my order on short notice. I ordered the Ube crinkle cookies and pandan cookies and they were so so so good! My guests LOVED the cookies, they disappeared so fast. Highly recommend and love supporting a small family business like this. I'll definitely be ordering here again for future parties! read more

I ordered butter mochi cake, Ube cookies and ube crinkle cookies for my family's Thanksgiving feast this year and everything was super yummy! I meant to post a picture but everyone ate them so fast. Jenn was a pleasure to work with. She was so nice, responsive and professional. I would highly recommend Ube Snacks & BBQ read more

Got desserts for our baby shower and we loved them! Ube pandan cookies and rice krispies + ube butter mochi!

If you're feeding a crowd and want food that disappears before the party's over--call Ube Snacks and BBQ. I was researching catering for my son's graduation party and came across Ube Snacks and BBQ. After reading all the great reviews, I was sold--and I'm so glad I went with them! My son specifically wanted Filipino BBQ, and their menu fit perfectly. We ordered the pulled pork, chicken BBQ skewers, smoked mac and cheese, and (because I couldn't resist) the pandan cookies--those were to die for! Like all Filipino parties, I feared I'd gone overboard and would end up with a ton of leftovers... but nope. Every single Ube Snacks dish was completely gone by the end of the night. The pulled pork was tender, the skewers perfectly grilled, the mac and cheese had that delicious smoky kick, and the cookies disappeared in minutes. Guests raved, went back for seconds (and thirds), and kept asking where the food came from. Absolutely recommend them for any party or event--you won't be disappointed! I also have to add, ordering and communicating with Jenn was AMAZING. She is kind, quick, and provides fantastic service! Thank you so much Jenn! read more

Jenn is wonderful and her communication is fantastic. They couldn't fulfill everything I wanted to order because they had prior orders for the same day/morning I needed to pick up the food for our party but Jenn worked with me to provide what they could within the time frame we needed it. All the desserts sounded so good I didn't know which ones I wanted to pick. And Jenn went out of her way to make a sample box of desserts for us to taste before I placed my order. Which actually made it harder to choose because each one hit the spot; not too sweet (Big Asian compliment), the right balance of full flavor, and the perfect texture, crisp outside and soft or gooey inside. Of all the ube and pandan flavored desserts my husband and I have had over the years, Ube Snacks is definitely top tier. We even had the opportunity to try the BBQ sticks before finalizing our order and we had to switch the quantities because the chicken bbq blew us away. Hands down the best flavored Filipino bbq sticks we've had. The pork was great too but the chicken was the unexpected winner for us. I cant wait to try the rest of the food we ordered for the party! read more

I think this company should change its name to UBE BBQ Crack--because the food? Absolutely phenomenal. I thought I had an idea of what to expect, but I was completely blown away. Our party ended last Sunday, and people are still talking about how incredible the food was. We heard comments like, "This is the best brisket I've ever had"--and that came from someone who's eaten at some of the best BBQ joints in the country and is usually very picky. Even guests who are known for being selective were going back for seconds (and thirds). I expected to at least get some pancit (a classic Filipino favorite), but when I got to the buffet, the tray was wiped clean--literally. Every single tray from UBE Snacks & BBQ looked like someone took a napkin and cleaned it out. I didn't even get a chance to try it, but based on the raving reviews from our guests days later, it clearly lived up to the hype. Oh--and the mac and cheese? Out of this world. I ordered a tray thinking that it can be for the kids. Turns out it's a 7-cheese blend and smoked. It was gone in minutes. I wonder if the kids were able to get some bites. The chicken skewers were also a hit--dare I say more? My daughter is still asking about the desserts--especially the mochi ones. Apparently, those disappeared fast too. In short: UBE Snacks & BBQ is America's best-kept secret. If you're thinking of booking them, do it. Just make sure to set some food aside for yourself before the guests get to it. I have no photos because there was nothing to take a photo of. Our guests dug right in like vultures. And the customer service and delivery was as everyone is saying: EXCELLENCE! read more

OMG, you have to reach out next time you're catering a party. We ordered the BBQ Brisket, BBQ Skewers, Lechon, Ube and Pandan Cookies and Ube Mochi. The Skewers and BBQ brisket were a fan favorite. We did not have any left over, people took some home, it was delicious. They were able to provide us with a last minute order too. They have exceptional service and super easy to work with. Do not sleep on their food! read more

Jenn was so sweet and accommodating with a last minute order. The ube mochi was amazing and such a hit with my kids- the ube flavor was on point and the texture was perfectly soft and chewy.

TLDR; These desserts are delicious and super affordable! We tried a sample box today and are planning on having them as our desserts vendor for our wedding next month! We liked the ube butter mochi and regular pandan and ube cookies the most of what we tried! THE SCOOP: We have a wedding coming up and wanted to pick a tasty dessert that has a little something for everyone (one dessert most likely doesn't fit all preferences), that wasn't cake (neither of us like cake all that much haha), that people can eat when they want to (individual wrapping is available, making to go desserts super easy!), and that didn't break the budget (pricing vs traditional cake was soooo much cheaper)....and we are so lucky to have found these because they checked all our boxes for our desserts desires! WHAT'S IN THE BOX: Today in preparation for the wedding we got a sampler box to try with our friends and family. In our box, we tried the ube butter mochi and a variety of cookies! (pandan, pandan crinkle, ube crinkle, ube cookie and coffee cookie) OUR FAVORITES: Everything was delicious!! But our top 3 favorites were the ube butter mochi and the regular pandan and ube cookies! THE DEETS: The ube butter mochi was like nothing I'd had before so I'm super excited to introduce my family to new flavors and textures! It wasn't overly sweet and was a hit with my fiance and friends. None of us have a big sweet tooth so the crinkle cookies weren't our top favorites because they're on the sweeter side in our opinion, but still delicious and super beautiful! The coffee cookie had a nice strong coffee flavor but the regular pandan and ube cookies really stood out and made it into the top 3 favorites. THE SERVICE: Jenn was super responsive to my Yelp inquiry and texting and was able to put together a sample box for purchase on pretty short notice! I picked them up from their house. They had them ready for me right on time! After the tasting I mentioned there were slight changes we wanted to consider and Jenn was super supportive and open to making some small custom tweeks for us which I'm looking forward to trying soon! But even if there weren't any changes at all we're still so blown away by how tasty everything was and how great the whole experience has been! Super thankful to have such a great vendor who is easy and fun to work with as wedding planning can be stressful sometimes! I will report how the desserts turn out for the day of wedding! Really excited! read more

Ubu... what is there to say. I loved every single item I managed to stuff into my mouth. Was I being "pretty" about it. Probably not. But when you're this caught up into the emotions of the tastes, you just get over how you look haha It's moist in all the right ways and tastes without the sugar overpowering the ube flavor. Thanks guys. read more

Ordered for the first time this week and I will definitely be a repeat customer! Extremely easy to order and LOVE that they are a small family business.

This is such a unique twist on ube and familiar Filipino flavors! I had the ube cookies, ube crinkles, ube brownies, and everything cookies - it was all delicious. Planning to order BBQ soon! Thanks again Ube Snacks!! read more

Ordered ube crinkles last minute for Xmas Eve. They were so responsive and easy to order. The cookies were so delicious!

This catering is my favorite. so delicious! the meats are cooked to perfection and the desserts are insanely great! try the mango cookies!

Delicious and accommodating to your needs as a customer. Our family enjoyed the Ube treats. The ube crinkle cookie was our favorite.

Such great treats with a twist... brings back flavors from Filipino childhood but in a form that is familiar to everyone. Shipped custom orders to family members out of state and they loved them! read more

Ordered the ube crinkles and its to die for. The brisket is perfection. Would definitely recommend to everyone. :)

Have you ever had a brisket that just melts so tenderly in your mouth that it puts you in awe? Just one bite is enough to have you salivating, eager for the next bite. Definitely order their brisket if you have a chance!!! And for those cracking for a sweet delight, I would definitely recommend their crinkled ube cookies. They're soft, chewy, and the flavor is amazing. It's the perfect "not too sweet" dessert and honestly I'd just eat the entire batch of cookies myself. I also want to thank Jenn and Leo for being so welcoming, kind, and responsive with our Ube Snacks and BBQ orders! They've made it so easy and delightful to order from them. It's such a pleasure to be able eat from such talented cooks and to support a caring personable business. I can't wait to order more from them! read more
