    a table set up for a party

    Just hosted my 3rd party in 3 years with Cheat A Little. Fantastic staff and easy as always! Everyone always compliments the food, and my wife and I have almost nothing to do after party over.

    Catering review. First of all, I did not know that this place is in San Mateo and while my company…read moreis in north San Jose, their catering service arrived on time with 200 bentos made! It's impressive to us as we've never had a on time delivery with Chicken Meets Rice for that amount of orders. Their catering minimum order is 30 bentos. We had 3 choices, sesame tofu with broccoli veggie bento, chicken katsu bento, and pork katsu bento. I am happy that there are a variety of items in the bentos other than rice and the main meat, namely rice noodle, okra, mashed potato salad (very yum), dessert item such as 2 cream puffs or a red bean mochi, lettuce, and a slice of fruit or lemon. Each element tasted good. The katsu pork and chicken came with a pack of katsu sauce and it was fitting, not overly saucy. I wouldn't mind having it again for lunch!

    I used EZCater to place a delivery order. I believe EZCater acts as the "middle-man" for connecting…read morethe restaurant with the customer. I am located in Livermore. The food arrived an hour early and it was supposed to be hot. It wasn't even warm. When I contacted EZCater, they reached out to the restaurant and they replied that they needed to deliver it early because of traffic. Nobody called me to see if that would even work for me. Also, when they asked if they would be willing to give a credit back they said no. Now I have cold salmon and chicken to give to my executives. I will not be going back to BentoSprout based on their ridiculous customer service.

    I've worked with Johana for almost a year in San Carlos. My partner and I needed help with meal…read moreprep while we worked full time and had a new baby. Having someone to do menu planning and grocery shopping was a huge time saver and ensured that we had home-cooked meals to eat rather than falling back to ordering takeout every night. Johanna provided a wide variety in her meals. Most menus came directly from her, but sometimes I would request certain types of food or specific dishes she had made in the past that were our favorites. Johanna tailored her menus to meet my dietary restrictions (low saturated fat). She always left the kitchen clean with clear instructions for the meals and even some cooking tips along the way! Johanna came every 2 weeks but was flexible around holidays and vacation. Would absolutely recommend her services!

    Background: Contacted Chef Johanna about preparing food for…read moremy small wedding in the spring of 2022. My (now) husband is a severe Celiac and so making sure all food is completely Gluten-free was the number one concern. The Chef was quick to respond and so helpful in brainstorming a potential menu for the event (we settled on Mexican). She then got started on putting together the recipes and gathering the proposed ingredient list. This is where the Chef went above and beyond for us-she sent us the full recipes and proposed ingredients(down to the specific brands) so that we could ensure that everything was free from gluten and free from cross-contamination (a shocking amount of spices are processed on the same equipment as wheat). She even was able to find a way to make gluten free Tres Leches and Tiramisu (our favorites). For our wedding cakes! Menu: Crudités with Green Goddess Dip Queso Fundido with Chorizo Pico de Gallo Chopped Salad Chili Verde Stew Slow Cooked Barbocoa Tacos Roasted Zucchini Sweet Bell Pepper Rice Spicy Citrus Black Beans Tres Leches with strawberries Tiramisu Preparation: The chef packaged up all of our food so that my sister could pick it up and transport it (our venue was 4 hours north of the bay). She provided detailed instructions for reheating the food and prepping the cakes. She even made sure we would have any additional utensils that would be necessary. She gave me an accurate and in-depth invoice that broke down the expenses and made it easy to work into our wedding budget. Food: WOW WOW WOW! The best part (obviously) was the food! Everything was fresh and vibrant and so so delicious! The Queso provided the best cheese pull I have ever seen and my husband and I are still drooling over that Tres Leches and my family keeps bringing up how incredible the dinner was! Additionally my husband was able to freely eat everything to his hearts content, confident that he wouldn't become ill on our special day. I cannot recommend Chef Johanna enough!!

    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!

    Absolutley perfect wedding food, amazing catering experience from Michi! They made us welcome since…read morewe first did our tasting, having a cute sign drawn for us. As soon as we ate the food, we knew exactly that we had to hire them! The food was amazing, they made us feel like we were eating at home with them. Yes, they were expensive, but they do ALOT and provide alot and during+after the wedding, we had so many people telling us it was the absolute best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. - They helped coordinate linens and rentals and helped us when we wanted to do a second meeting to confirm our selections. - They gracefully answered questions throughout when finalizing our menu, and the 2nd tasting was just as delicious as the first. 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.
