We ordered their Taco platter with 3 meats: Chicken, Carne Asada, & Shrimp. They showed up early, setup their food table, grill, drinks and were ready when guests showed up. They had 2 cooks and both men were very friendly & helpful too. It was not cheap but not expensive so we got a good value for our money. Everyone, including my family loved their Tacos and appetizers. We would highly recommend this company & will use them again for our next major party event !

Michi's Catering was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding. From beginning to end,…read morethey were incredibly responsive, accommodating, professional, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first tasting, I could not stop talking about how good the food at our wedding was going to be. That's how excited I was. The food was INSANE. The tasting itself was also such a lovely experience--they made everything feel so personal and were genuinely so sweet and welcoming. I left the tasting already knowing our guests were going to be well fed. And somehow, the food at the actual wedding was just as amazing. Michi and his team, Raphael and Michael, were outstanding. They were so professional and attentive, and you could tell how much pride they take in what they do. Michi himself is also just the sweetest. He made our guests feel so welcomed and taken care of, and his team even made sure my husband and I had plates of food so we actually got to eat at our own wedding--which we appreciated SO much. The FOOD. I cannot say enough about it. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests were raving about it. Wedding food can sometimes feel like an afterthought, but that was absolutely not the case with Michi. It was genuinely one of the highlights of our wedding. Their presentation is also phenomenal. They have such an eye for making everything look beautiful and aesthetic. It wasn't just catering--it felt like another part of the overall design of our wedding. Everything looked intentional, elevated, and just as good as it tasted. I also LOVE their business model. Instead of nickel-and-diming you or charging per piece like so many other caterers, they have a per-person pricing structure that made everything feel so much easier. Our guests could actually EAT, everyone was happy and full, and we never felt like we had to worry about whether there would be enough food. Michi's is worth EVERY PENNY. The combination of incredible food, beautiful presentation, professionalism, and genuinely amazing service is so hard to beat. I truly cannot say enough good things about Michi and his entire team. If they had a restaurant, I would literally be there all the time. That is how good their food is. If you're considering Michi's Catering for your wedding or event, BOOK THEM. Your guests will be fed, happy, and talking about the food afterward. Thank you Michi, Raphael, Michael, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of us and our guests. You guys are phenomenal.

We had a great experience with the whole Michi's Life team while looking for our wedding caterer…read more Everyone was incredibly professional, responsive, and generous throughout the whole process, and the food was both delicious and beautifully presented. What stood out most were all the thoughtful personal touches. They made an exception to host all four of us for the tasting (when normally they just allow 2) and even prepared a special yuzu salmon for us as those were our favorites. You can really tell how much care and creativity Raphael, Mike, Michi, and the whole family put into what they do. We ultimately went with another caterer that was a closer fit for the specific dinner experience we had in mind, but we came away extremely impressed with Michi's Life and were treated like family. Would absolutely recommend them and would happily consider them for another event in the future!

I first discovered The Market's catering when Palo Alto Players (the theatre company down the…read morestreet) started using them for opening night receptions. The desserts and savories stood out as more handcrafted and gourmet than other similar caterers in the area, and the theatre staff were extremely complimentary about their helpful team, interesting selection, and reasonable pricing. I learnt that The Market also donated items to one of the nonprofit's fundraisers, and their real and continued support of the community is a huge plus in my book. Since then, I've used The Market for catering 3 times. The first was a mini platter that owner Emel custom-created based on my preferences, and the quality and variety--even at a small platter size--were a surprise and delight. I appreciated her meticulous and hands-on work, and this first order made The Market my go-to caterer. The other 2 times were recent, for 60-80 person events, and I worked with Paola for both. Though the platters seem much less customisable now (maybe it was only possible with Emel), it was a smooth and easy process to select from their online catering menu, which sufficiently and accurately described each item. Paola responded within 24 hours to the online order form and provided the opportunity to review the proposal before taking credit card payment over the phone. She is wonderful to work with: everything was timely, efficient, and reliable. Of note: the grazing board (high quality and luxurious), the raspberry bars (my absolute favourite--I hope they never stop making these!), and the fresh fruit platter (indeed fresh and ripe, elevated with surprising/exotic fruits). I've been glad to continue recommending The Market's catering service to friends. Note: at the moment, delivery of catering orders is not available on Sundays.

We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

I spoke with Chef Dui and shared the concept I had in mind for the event. He was incredibly flexible with my requests, understood my vision, and provided the invoice right away, which made the planning process so easy. Then came the day of the event and absolutely delivered! Everything we discussed and everything I envisioned was brought to life and honestly, it turned out even better than I expected. The DIY Vietnamese Noodle Bar was a huge hit. Everyone kept raving about how delicious the food was, and it was so rewarding to see people enjoying something I had envisioned for the event. To top it all off, the catering team was incredibly kind, accommodating, and professional. As we all know, great food and great service go hand in hand, and D-D Delight nailed both. The food was exceptionally well executed. The beef was perfectly seasoned and tender (not chewy at all!!) and had that wonderful smoky flavor from the char. The chicken was also beautifully seasoned with a nice lemongrass flavor that really came through. I heard so many great things about the grilled shrimp as well. I initially thought the tofu might be bland but I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and delicious it turned out. Not to mention, they also had a vegan version of the Nuoc Cham for our vegetarian guests! Every component was thoughtfully prepared, and the entire experience, from planning to execution, was fantastic. Kudos to Chef Dui and the entire D-D Delight team! You guys did an amazing job, and we will definitely be hiring you again for our next event. Highly recommended!

They answered all my questions and were very patient. They were able to adjust and customize to suit my needs and were easy to work with. I chose a meat, a seafood, and a vegetarian for my entrees but I'd never worked with them so I was unsure of their quality. I asked if I could do a tasting and they were more than happy to accommodate. They allowed me to pick a couple entrees and some sides to try out and I picked it up and brought it home to test. After all that, they kept in close communication to discuss my needs for things like rentals of chafing dishes, tables, etc. On the day of the event, they arrived 90 mins prior and set everything up. Since it was a "drop off" catering, they had everything sealed with plastic wrap, lit all the sternos, then left it for us to unwrap when ready. We chose the chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, and the eggplant green curry (vegetarian and G/F). I was worried about the salmon since it tends to overcook, but i was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Not overcooked at all and super tasty! We also ordered sushi and other sides. None of it disappointed!!! After the event, they came and picked up everything. Really great tea to work with. Will definitely work with them again in the future.

John has become my life line!…read more I cater lunches for a start up 3 days a week and when I use FounderFood I never have to worry. When I first was introduced to John & FF almost a year ago, I was in shock that I literally emailed "So you're telling me I can get ALL these great restaurants to cater and you are my only point of contact?!" For me this was a HUGE score! Dealing with so many vendors, menus etc. bringing food in is a major task and a huge time suck. Countless times I have had other vendors back out or fail to show and I call John in a panic and he saves my tail feathers. John knows our company and our want and needs and is able to quickly turn around tailor made menus from an ever growing array of WONDERFUL restaurants and vendors. I use them 1-2 times per week (sometimes more) and I never have to worry when FounderFood is on the schedule. They are always on time and every driver shows up with a huge friendly smile. The food is always fresh & super tasty; Even my picky eaters & restricted eaters are happy and needs are met. On the rare occasion when there has been a goof John is right on it to remedy the issue quickly while keeping everyone happy and clam. Finding FounderFood has been a life and game changer. I have made a great friend in John, and a partnership for a long time with FounderFood! Wish I could give them 10 stars!
