I cannot thank City Smoke House SF enough for catering my 40th birthday party. From start to…read morefinish, Brian and his team made the process seamless with lightning-fast communication and the kind of customer service you rarely see anymore. This was my first time planning a party for 60 people, and I wanted to get it right. I researched a ton of different cuisines, but ultimately came back to City Smoke House because of their flawless track record. Honestly, I wish I hadn't wasted so much time exploring other options because City exceeded even my highest expectations. The party was at a nightclub in the Castro, and the delivery was perfectly on time. The customer service 1000%. They even provided custom cards for each dish so guests knew exactly what they were eating, a small but thoughtful touch that people really appreciated. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, chicken, smoked portobello mushrooms, barbecue sauces, mac & cheese, potato salad, and tossed salad. With an open bar, I didn't expect the food to steal the show, but it did. Friends and family were raving all night, , "Where is this food from?" The next day, my phone was blowing up with texts about the brisket, the mac & cheese, the works. (For the record: I'm extremely picky about mac & cheese, and City nailed it.) My cousin from the Midwest said that the portobello mushrooms were his favorite. The portions were so generous we had enough to host a next-day gathering to enjoy the leftovers, though the mac & cheese disappeared the night of the party so order extra! In a city like San Francisco, where great BBQ is rare, I only wish City Smoke House had a brick-and-mortar location I could frequent. This is a family-owned business that delivers in every possible way, and I'm beyond grateful to them for making my milestone celebration unforgettable. I hope they stay booked and busy. THANK YOU BRIAN and team City Smoke House.

City Smoke House was recently catered to an event I attended, and it was a great food supplement…read more There were different menu items such as their pulled pork, which was tender and smoky, their beef, which had a nice heart flavor, and chicken, wich was juicy and had a good balance of seasoning and smoke. I also tried a smaller portion of their mac and cheese, which was creamy and comforting. Solid catering for a variety of smoked meats and classic barbecue comfort sides!

I've had food catered from Kitchen Woori twice, once as a guest and now as a host. Both times have…read morebeen excellent! All the food was absolutely delicious and they had such a great choice of vegetarian options. I would recommend everything I ordered, and I want to try more of their offerings in the future. I really appreciated my communication with Mary, who worked with me to suggest options in my budget and also was flexible as our event date changed. The ordering process was done via email. Once I placed my order, I actually picked it up from the store across the street, Woori Market, since I had an evening event. They provided plates, utensils, and labels for the food as well. It all went smoothly and I'm very happy with how everything turned out!

Kitchen Woori is absolutely AMAZING!!!!…read more I ordered a large order for 100+ employees at our hospital, and they were incredibly accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions and labelling the containers. Ordering and communicating was easy, and they even helped me load & push the cart up a ramp. Packaging was extremely organized AND their food was delicious and a huge hit. It's no wonder they are frequently booked out :) Definitely inquire ahead of time, especially for large orders. Highly recommend, thank you so much!

Looking for someone to cater an event after a memorial service and being out of state I turned to…read moreYelp for help. Several reached out but we loved the reviews and pictures for On a Roll. I sent a request via Yelp app and Marsha suggested I send an email. This was on a Sunday and the event was in 2 weeks ! When I didn't hear anything via email or a call I called the office and spoke to Ben who apologized for the lack of communication and he would respond via email, which he did a few hours later. After several emails from Ben we were able to settle on a menu in just a few days! We were looking for a Hawaiian fusion themed menu and Ben & his staffto came up with a great menu. W Some of our many items that was a huge hit with our guests were Vietnamese vegan rolls, miso glazed black code, a toss green salad with Edamame and Asian dressing, crab deviled eggs, scallops spoon, chimichuri steak crostini, short ribs skewers, Asian style lamb meatballs, and dessert of fruit cups and mini cupcakes were perfect. There was a few dishes that wasn't as successful but overall everyone enjoyed the food. We had pre arranged to have someone to meet the catering staff early for setup but due to unknown delays they did show up until an hour before the service started which also ment they were rushed to setup the food but they did a good job to get the hot and cold foods setup before the end of the service. Overall they did a good job and the food excellent but arriving late to the event and poor timing to replenish empty dishes was disappointing also dessert wasn't served until most guest departed. We enjoyed working with Ben and appreciated the communication once it was established.

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.

Safia was quick to respond, provided a menu that was well thought out and incorporated our requirements, and extremely professional. Her staff was efficient and friendly as well. That aside, the food was the hit of the party, even the picky eaters (including children) loved it. Garlic noodles, shrimp, masubi, egg rolls, all of it. Even my Vietnamese dad who forgot his dentures loved the Viet salad goi because he was able to chew it lol. Which is a huge compliment because he never says anything positive. Portion size was generous for a 50 person party and delivery was smooth like butter. Wish I had business cards because everyone asked for contact info. Absolutely will be using Mai's Catering for future parties!!! Can't recommend highly enough.

I usually had trays…read moredelivered during the height of the pandemic, but now that some events are opening up, they don't deliver anymore *and* they don't offer the trays for two either. I picked up the tray from San Bruno Market in the Portola District of SF (thank goodness for the parking lot!!). Easy pick-up from a friendly store owner/manager(?). The food is still as good as before. I ordered extra Spam and egg onigiri, but some only came with Spam and no egg; still good, but not *quite* as good!! She also substituted a couple of onigiri for the eggrolls that we don't usually eat, so that's a plus! The tray's presentation was, again, excellent. Garlic noodles were delicious, beef and chicken skewers tender and delectable, cha trung (?) very flavorful, and empanadas yummy! Two of the onigiri are enough for a light lunch, but I tend to eat more than that just because it's so good!!

The tofu noodles option had just the right spice kick to it and the sweet potatoes with kale flakes on them was a great side compliment. The chicken artichoke provolone sandwich was HUGE (took half home for dinner), had just the right amount of sun dried tomatoes and zucchini in it, and the orzo salad had just the right amount of lemon zest to it as a perfect side. Highly recommend supporting this local market for any organizational catering needs!

The best way to describe Christina at Le's Kitchen is that they're the greatest "Yes, and" caterer…read moreyou could ask for. For us, we were very set on having Chinese (or at least East Asian) cuisine for our wedding. Le's is one of the few catering options available in the Bay Area. Most caterers we talked to gave us limitations, said they couldn't customize things, but Le's was special. Christina made us feel truly special and carefully listened to us talk about the customizations that we wanted. She would add in her own suggestions and expertise into the discussion, and told us when something would have been too challenging. The final meal that we got was breathtaking, with many of our guests exclaiming that it was the best wedding meal they've ever eaten. In fact, some even said it was some of the best food they ever had. Everyone, from relatives from China to Americans born and raised in Ohio thought the meal was brilliant. But Christina was never afraid of any culinary challenge, and would work diligently on researching and perfecting new recipes to serve us. In terms of recipe development, Christina was nothing short of professional and a perfectionist. Two things stood out specifically. First, was that we also asked if Le's could cater boba for us as well. We already liked the Milk Tea that they demo'd at the initial tasting, but we asked for two very specific drinks in addition to the standard Milk tea. We requested an orange fruit tea, and a sesame milk drink. Christina iterated on both recipes, and came back to us with a tasting. My wife and I, as boba connoisseurs, had extremely nitpicky feedback to give, and she took all of it with grace. Every single of of the drinks were improved to exactly what we had imagined, by the time of our wedding, and the boba catering was genuinely perfect. The second thing that stood out is that we asked for a particularly experimental dish as an hors d'oeuvres, notably a youtiao + shrimp paste dish that was inspired by shrimp toast. Christina told us that this would be a challenge, especially as she would have to source the youtiao, and then actually develop the dish. During our second tasting, she came up with two completely different versions for us to sample. We chose one, but also gave some feedback about what we liked or disliked of each . What came out at the wedding was neither of the options, but something incredible and better than anything we had imagined possible. She had taken the dish back to the kitchen, and worked on the dish until perfection. If you get a chance to ask for a tasting, I implore you to ask for that appetizer. Overall, if you are looking for a Chinese or Vietnamese cuisine for your wedding, you honestly can't go wrong with Le's kitchen.

They were able to tailor the menu well to accommodate my nut allergy and guests' dietary restrictions. The food was amazing - we got so many compliments, particularly the filet mignon and salt & pepper fish were hits. Plus we added on spa water set-up and coffee & tea which was definitely worth it for our guests' comfort. And everything ran so smoothly, Christina was on point during the event. We didn't get a chance to chat as directly with the other staff, but heard they were so kind and lovely. We would 100% recommend booking LKC for your wedding.

Outstanding Live Catering for a Large Group!…read more We hired Paella Time for a 45-person event at our home, and Ralph and his team completely knocked it out of the park! Watching the paella come together live in giant pans in the backyard was a huge hit with our guests and created a fantastic, festive atmosphere. The spread was incredible--authentic, rich, and full of flavor across the meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. On top of the main dish, the tapas and fresh salads were delicious, and the service was seamless from start to finish. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food (and several took home leftovers!). If you want to host a stress-free event with unforgettable, high-quality food, I highly recommend Paella Time. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!

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!

Their service and warmth did not diminish one bit after we signed. - During the wedding day, mr Michi himself handed us a handroll right after the ceremony, and that honestly was one of the moments I remember vividly. - The late night snacks were much appreciated by people, and after dancing, people appreciated the extra fuel. - They even helped clean up afterwards! Even for things that werent part of dinner. Honeslty made our wedding the event of a lifetime and it wouldn't have been the same without the amazing Michi family catering us.
