    Avian did an amazing job providing his delicious food at the beach for my family. Everyone was blown away at the presentation and the taste of all of his signature dishes, which were the following: teriyaki chicken, fruit plate, coconut rice, Kalua pork sliders with pineapple slaw and his famous dessert Latiya. Thank you so much Avians House it was excellent!

    So good!!

    These guys rolled up to the Port Pavilion. Nothing is a better sight than a food truck when you are hungry! I went with the chicken teriyaki plate, comes with rice and mac-n-cheese with a twist. Now you all know I'm a struggling Paleo, but I ate least have to try these things. That Mac-n-Cheese actually compliments the chicken very well! The teriyaki chicken was spot on, not too saucy, not too sweet... Goldilocks zone. The wait wasn't long, as it appears that they make everything to order. Friendly staff, wondering if we can get them to some events we have!

    Chef Avian was incredible! He prepared dinner for us with same day notice. We were looking to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and what a way to do it. The 5 course meal delighted us with so many different tastes perfectly blended in every dish. What a treat this was and an absolute memorable experience!! Thank you Chef Avian for your creative food and company.

    One word describes everything and it's AMAZING. Last year, we were looking for a Food Truck for our wedding and we came across Avian's House as we absolutely love Hawaiian BBQ. We met with Avian for a tasting and we were sold right there. He is an awesome guy - fun to work with, very friendly and works with your budget. On top of the ease of working with him on the menu and staying within our budget, the food is just amazing. Some of the best Hawaiian BBQ we've ever had and it has a great Filipino twist. Absolutely love the chicken and the asian ginger slaw salad. His crew cooked right on-site, so the food was super fresh. He marinates everything for days, so it's crazy tender. And he was super responsive and flexible with working with our venue. Our guests also raved about the food afterwards as well; which says a lot since most people don't remember the food they had at weddings. We would have Avian cater any event we have in the future and we highly recommend anyone does the same. Thank you again Avian! You and your crew are awesome!

    I came across his food truck at the IB Sun & Sea Fest. The truck was very simple looking but I was drawn in by the Hawaiian inspired menu. I was greeted and served by Avian himself. What a nice guy! And he took the time to chat with me which is always a bonus for a foodie coming from a chef. Avian radiates passion for his art and seems to have some great ideas on how to improve and expand his menu. I tried the spam masubi and got the chicken katsu platter. The spam masubi was well balance with a decent portion of spam. I grew up on spam so this was a winner. The chicken katsu had a tasty crust and marinade, complimented by a side of white rice and macaroni salad. Worth checking this guy and his team out!

    My son helping me finish my plate of chicken teriyaki, rice and mac salad! He loved it!!!

    A-MAY-ZING!!!! If I could give 10 stars I would. I love the teriyaki chicken & Hawaiian mac salad! The sauce is phenomenal!!! I can't say enough good things. I'll be scheduling this into my dinner rotation for sure! I can pick it up and take it home for the family. So awesome. Thanks Avian's House!!!

    Avians house at Monterey Heights, yum!

Most recently, they came out last Saturday and served our 50 guests with ease. Everything from communication to set up and clean up is easy and smooth. Their email response time is always incredibly fast and they make booking so efficient and quick. They are also very transparent about pricing and very reasonable in their pricing. They also offer discounts and sales often and often give a cash discount when paying too. Our guests always rave about the food and they are the only taco company we know of that offers fish tacos as an option. We also love that they offer more unusual items such as grilled veggies and churros. We highly recommend Taquizas José for your next event.

From the moment we inquired to the day of the party, we received several emails confirming the location, setup area, menu, and guest count. I had zero concerns about their ability to execute the plan, and I especially appreciated their 48-hour final confirmation. Our guests (95 total) raved about the food. We ran out of beef a little earlier than expected, but our people do love to eat and appreciated that the staff didn't skimp on portion sizes. I think my guests took "all you can eat" seriously--LOL. My only suggestion would be to let Taquizas Jose know if your group loves to eat, as you may want to factor that into the amount of meat they bring. We've been feasting on leftover beans, rice, and tortillas this week--thoroughly enjoying it. Safe to say no one left hungry, and we're still enjoying it days later. 10/10 would (and hope to) book again for any event!

But more than that, was the amazing food menu. I can't even express in words how amazing the appetizers, dinner entrees were. And it wasn't just me. I must have gotten at least 15 or more guests absolutely raving about the food. One guest even said it beat any home cooked or restaurant food she had ever eaten! And that is not an exaggeration! From the very beginning, Sierra made sure all of my clients requests were met and the communication was the outstanding. Billy (chef) doubled up on outstanding with the most amazing, flavorful, unique and tasty appetizer and dinner menu. You can definitely taste the love and effort he puts into his cooking. And last but not least....the staff! Absolutely the best! And served with a smile! In my opinion this is an unbeatable team. Highly recommend them to anyone who would like to have an unforgettable event with the best service and most amazing food. Thank you Four Season! You knocked it out of the park!

    Quality imagination presentation --…read more Four Seasons Food Catering is owned by the marvelous duo Billy Burd and Sierra Ridenour-Burd. They make an amazing team. They catered a party for us at the The Thursday Club in Point Loma in March and dazzled everyone. When we were trying to choose a caterer we were attracted to Four Seasons by the imaginative and creative flair of Chef Billy Burd's cuisine and by their very positive reviews. One thing that caught our attention about the reviews was that many of them were fairly long. Apparently reviewers were not satisfied to give 5 stars and a paragraph of praise, they really wanted to testify. They felt that Four Seasons was special and they were motivated to let you know just how special. After experiencing Four Seasons catering service we can understand that sentiment. The culinary experience Four Seasons provided was marvelous. The dishes were imaginative, taste tempting, and a delight to the eye. Guests loved the appetizers that were passed: shrimp wrapped in basil and pancetta, mushrooms with escargot, parmesan crusted artichoke hearts. The stationary display had a choice assortment of cheeses and a selection of cold seafood that included jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, ahi poke, and a sashimi platter all beautifully presented. Suffice it to say the buffet was equally spectacular. Chef Billy takes pride in the quality of the products he sources. The filet mignon for example was gorgeous. The shrimp served in the seafood display were so tasty that they made you stop and take notice. This was a once in a lifetime kind of party for us so we pulled out the stops when we were choosing items for the menu. It's very much to Billy and Sierra's credit that part of their response was to say that and they would be happy to offer some more budget friendly variations. We appreciated their inclination to work with clients to find good solutions to their needs. We enjoyed meeting with Chef Billy one time early in the planning process, but other than that, all the planning and coordination was handled by Sierra. She is fantastic and a pleasure to work with. She gave us recommendations on the initial approach to the menu, on down to details like the serving schedule, linens, and the table floor plan. We communicated mostly through email which was very productive because her emails, besides being congenial, were always clear and complete. And it was amazing how quickly she would reply, usually the same day. When it came to the final week before the party and it was time to summarize all the various emails and discussions Sierra nailed it, she recapped everything perfectly. The Four Seasons staff were wonderful. During the set up time they operated like clockwork. During the party they could not have been more charming and gracious. This is another major point to Billy and Sierra's credit. It takes care and effort to assemble a team of this quality--a group of individuals who interface harmoniously not only with the guests, but with each other, and with other vendors such as the florist. The whole event flowed thanks to the staff. When you are planning a special event you hope to create a joyful and memorable experience for all your guests. Four Seasons is a caterer with an amazing combination of culinary artistry and service craft. Choose Four Seasons as your caterer and you can't go wrong.

From the moment we booked their all-inclusive package, the planning process became incredibly easy. Abbey has built an outstanding network of top-tier vendors throughout San Diego, and every single one exceeded our expectations. Our wedding coordinator, David Robertson, guided us through every detail with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. He made us feel confident and prepared every step of the way, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience instead of feeling overwhelmed. DJ Abel did a fantastic job with both the music and audio setup, ensuring everything flowed perfectly throughout the ceremony and reception. Our photographer, Misha Rockova, was incredibly professional, organized, and wonderful to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable while capturing every meaningful moment. The cake from Sugar Bears Bakery was absolutely delicious, and our guests are still talking about the food catered by Abbey. Everything was beautifully presented and exceeded our expectations. The florals from Emerald & Ivy were beyond gorgeous. They transformed our backyard venue into something even more beautiful than we had imagined. The bartender was exceptional, and every member of the service staff helped make the evening feel warm, polished, and truly special. Their attention to detail and hospitality did not go unnoticed. What impressed us most was how effortlessly everything came together. Every vendor worked seamlessly as a team, and we never had to worry about a thing on our wedding day. We were simply able to be present with our family and friends and enjoy every moment. Our guests repeatedly commented on how elegant, tasteful, and well-executed the entire event was. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Abbey Catering & Events gave us a wedding day that will forever be etched in our memories. We are beyond grateful to everyone involved and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

From the start Will, who signed us up, was most helpful and really knew his information. We clicked instantly and it was such a pleasure to talk with him and meet him in person. We signed up for the tasting before signing with Abbey Catering and that was such a great experience. We got to meet Will in person and there was so much food to try and luckily bring home. After meeting Will we really had a great feeling and signed up within that week. The food was incredible at the tasting, and it was hard choosing which entrée and hours d'oeuvres to choose from since everything was so good. Chuck, our wedding coordinator, was beyond great and so helpful. He was such an asset to have on our side and really made the day go smooth. He was also so friendly and great to work with. We really felt like we made friends with our Abbey team There were absolutely no hiccups whatsoever and I was so calm the whole day. David, our catering lead, was another amazing team member. He was right there to offer us food first and make sure we had enough of our share. The rest of the catering team always made us a priority too and I was very hungry after the ceremony in between pictures so that was so great. We ordered the following for tray passed hors d'oeuvres: petite beef wellington, wild mushroom arancini, bruschetta, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. We opted for the dual entrée of the boneless short ribs, and the panko-herb crusted chicken with vegetables and the truffle smashed potatoes. All were so good and I wish I could eat them all again Our guests could not stop raving about the food. They even made dietary restriction meals for several of our guests, and they said it was one of the best vegan/vegetarian meals they have ever had. We really were impressed with the food and so glad we went with Abbey as that was important for us to have really good tasting food. We opted for the whole package with their vendors for flowers, DJ, photographer, and cake. Best decision ever!!! We had Emerald and Ivy for the florist and my goodness Mishele, and the Abbey team put together exactly what I pictured in my mind! Such beautiful flowers and we rented bud vases and candles from her. DJ Abel from the Wedding Entertainment Collective was beyond amazing! He played our songs and knew the vibes we were going for. The dance floor was a hit, and our guests were dancing the whole night. Everyone was telling us the DJ was so good! Misha, our photographer, was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are so beautiful! The cake and mini cupcakes from Sugar Bears Sweet Provisions were out of this world! I'm so glad we saved our wedding cake because we ate it the next day. Our guests loved the mini cupcakes too and we even had enough to give out at treats and take home. We really are so grateful we decided to go with Abbey catering. They really went above and beyond. The whole team, Will, Chuck, David, and the caterers were 10 out of 10 Thank you so much and to the Abbey vendors for making our day even more special!

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!
