We had the most lovely experience for a Dohl birthday gathering! Perfect fusion menu with authentic Korean flavors. We wanted to go with the bossam (pics look so good) but our event was held after lunchtime/light bites so we opted for the taco bar, which was also amazing. Nonstop compliments from friends and family regarding the food. Presentation was just lovely too. Hard to accomplish great taste, price, authenticity, AND presentation but Chubby Fingers rocked it all. Other items ordered that I didn't get good photos of (all was v delicious): - Yuzu tomato salad (so refreshing, wish I could make this at home) - Gochujang glazed veggies - Elote - Japchae P.S. I'm just remembering how wonderful the tacos were, especially the tortilla. Corn and soft, this is NOT your typical grocery store purchase. I think they source it from a legit Latina market. That's what I mean by authenticity. For all our dishes, they got both Korean and Mexican cuisines right. Chubby Fingers brings the real deal. read more

Best decision for our Reception/Baby Shower! (Incredible value & taste) Chubby Fingers catered our event and it was absolutely wonderful! OMG... as I'm writing this, I'm still craving the food we had that day from Chubby Fingers! After doing multiple tastings with other caterers, we chose them for their generous portions and amazing value at a very competitive price point. Why we chose them: Before choosing them, we actually met with several other caterers and even did tastings to compare our options. What really stood out about Chubby Fingers was how generous and abundant their offerings were at a very similar price point. The value honestly surprised us in the best way. The Experience (Catering Drop-off): We ended up doing a catering drop-off, and even with that setup, you could truly feel the care and thought they put into everything. The presentation was beautiful and everything was packed so nicely -- it still felt very special and intentional. The Food (The highlight of our day!): On the day of the event, the food completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our guests kept complimenting the food throughout the event, and several people even came up to ask where we found the caterer because they wanted the information for their own events. Our Menu Highlights: 1. Chubs Bossam: Slow-roasted caramelized pork shoulder with ssam bar (perilla leaves, lettuce, and samjang). Absolute hit! 2. Japchae: Korean sweet potato glass noodles with mushrooms and vegetables. 3. Gochujang Glazed Veggies: Roasted market vegetables with a subtle, delicious gochujang glaze. 4.Yuzu Tomato Salad: Heirloom tomatoes with greens and a refreshing yuzu vinaigrette (so fresh!). and the White Rice was included! The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. I'm so sad I didn't take more photos, I was so busy hosting and enjoying the event, but the presentation in person looked even better than the photos!) If you're planning an event, do yourself a favor and book Chubby Fingers--you won't regret it! I truly can't recommend them enough if you want to impress your guests! read more

Chubby Fingers Catering - Still dreaming about this "Yuzu Tomato Salad!" So fresh and the perfect palate cleanser for our reception/baby shower. - Caterers Near Me

I hit up Chubby Fingers late on a Friday evening for a company networking event and they got back to me very quick and got everything nailed down by the following Saturday afternoon. I made my selections, good choice and selection for everyone, including vegetarians and vegan options. Set up and delivery was on time and the food was very tasty. Would definitely order from again. Thanks! read more

Chubby Fingers made our wedding truly unforgettable! From the initial consultation to the final clean-up, their team was consistently professional, attentive, and accommodating. Their food was delicious and every dish was beautifully presented. (Tasted even better than it looked) Our guests loved the food and they're still talking about it! I highly recommend Chubby Fingers to anyone seeking a catering company that can transform any event into a memorable occasion. read more

They worked our wedding. Melissa is very nice and approachable. She responds quickly and communicates clearly. The food is amazing!!! Many of our guests afterwards said the food was some of the best they've ever had. Personally, it was the best wedding food I've ever had, and I've been to 10+ weddings at this point. My favorite was the miso pasta, and guests loved the miso pasta, the spicy roasted sweet potatoes, the Korean Friend Chicken, the Poke chips, and the Yuzu pockets. read more

Top quality food that not only look good but taste superb as well! It was for a baby shower event and Chubby Fingers completely wowed the guests and the hosts with their timeliness, price point, aesthetics and most importantly, tastiness. Plus vegan friendly! We had a few guests that were vegetarian or vegan - Chubby Fingers graciously prepared a few of the doshiraks completely vegan. We were debating if we wanted to do the buffet style or the doshirak style, but ultimately chose to do doshirak style so it was easy for guests to take home the leftovers and also help with ease of clean up. However, we also saw pictures of how Chubby Fingers do buffet style, it would have still been a great option. So this was more of an issue of preference. Ordering Process: Smooth and easy - you get to pick and choose what you'd like in your doshirak from their menu. Obviously more expensive meats cost more but the choices are pretty extensive. For this baby shower we went with bulgogi (main entree), roasted shishito peppers, yuzu salad (so good!), jap chae (korean glass noodle dish), shrimp spring roll. As for vegan option, they switched out bulgogi with king oyster mushrooms and switched out shrimp spring rolls with veggies only. It was a great hit with the vegan guests. Delivery to the venue was smooth and no hassle, the doshiraks arrived in pristine condition. It came in really conveniently and thoughtfully packed boxes, it was really easy to transport them from point A to point B. Tip: delivery fee is not included in the menu since it could vary with distance so be sure to inquire about that too so you get a clear idea of how much everything will cost. Presentation: The pictures don't do justice to how big and how amazing these doshiraks looked. Most guests couldn't finish it in one seating and gladly took home. Taste: Honesty, everything tasted so good. The chef definitely did not go cheap on the meat quality for the bulgogi and it was charred just right. The glass noodle was not soggy at all, salad was so refreshing and the spring roll was crunchy and felt fresh as well. All in all, quality of the food was top notch. Will definitely use Chubby Fingers for future events! read more

Chubby Fingers is the single best choice we made for an event and it was the most popular part of it! From the first reach out to the tasting to the day of, they were always clear, thoughtful, and just great at what they do. I was grateful they worked with us for a smaller event without a coordinator and that the food was so plentiful and incredible. The organizer was flexible with changes or questions that came up and prioritized the experience. The staff was so nice and they also left the food prep areas cleaner than when they came. The food was so delicious that everyone was asking immediately for their number, which was not surprising, as they put their own sparkle on every dish and work hard to make everything run smoothly and beautifully. read more

Great food was the absolute top priority for our wedding, and Chubby Fingers DELIVERED. Quotes from our guests included: "This was the best wedding dinner I've ever had." (multiple people!) "Give me galbi jjim and dak galbi over grilled salmon and chicken any day of my life. I'm so happy." "I could barely dance I was so full from dinner." "The vegan option usually sucks, but the bibimbap was SO GOOD." The quality, taste, volume, and presentation of food was A++ and absolutely worth the cost. I still think about the yuzu tomato salad. Every single one of our appetizers was a hit (kimchi fried rice arancinis, bao buns, and yubu soba pouches). It's solid, classic Korean food with delicious twists, not watered-down, bland fusion food. Their staff were kind and professional, preparing plates for us to make sure we didn't miss out on our own wedding appetizers and meal. Melissa was so helpful with adjustments and details, like adding kimchi, switching to gluten-free gochujang to accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions, and preparing for a family-style meal. Start to finish, the whole team was great to work with and it was a smooth process. It was important for us to support a local Korean-American small business, and we'll definitely be coming back to Chubby Fingers again for our next big party! read more

Chubby Fingers delivered some heat on our wedding day!!! We had the KFC sliders, Hiyayakko Tofu, and Spring Rolls for our hors d'oeuvre selection and tri-tip, chicken, and veggie bibimbap for main entrée and all the dishes rocked! The Melissa, her team, and serving staff were all extremely professional and I can't thank you enough - highly recommend! read more

I was on a search for the perfect lunch boxes for a corporate press event. They needed to taste fantastic, look awesome, and professionally presented. Chubby Fingers fulfilled all of these and went beyond our team's expectations. I received so many compliments from Chub's catered lunch with their first order, so we HAD to order again for the next one. The guests were expecting Chub's. To begin with, the menu selection is as sophisticated as it can be. I've hosted events with meals at various venues, including a 5-star hotel, and never seen Chub's unique and various selections. The best part is the uniqueness. Many of them are Asian fusion in Chub's own recipe, greatly balanced to satisfy everyone's pallets: Those, who were familiar with the dish, were surprised how different and leveled-up it was, and those who were not were enjoying exploring each piece of arts. Another thing that makes Chub's stand out is the taste. Chef Daniel puts ample fresh ingredients in each dish. With his special sauces and cooking techniques, plus these carefully selected ingredients combined, every bite is full of flavors. All these are presented in a high-end-craft-looking lunch box case individually. Also, Chub's brought in warmers to keep these foods warm so that each guest could enjoy the meal at its best. I want to thank Melissa for managing and accommodating our needs to every detail and Chef Daniel for the suggestions and putting everything together on point. I would recommend Chubby Fingers to any catering needed occasions as I am sure people will appreciate - whether they are the host or the guest. read more

Found this newly opened place and wanted to give it a try - turns how to be pleasantly surprised. The presentation is pretty good, and the combo is a lot of food with a full-sized Banh Mi, four shrimp rolls, and a side of grilled peppers (small jalapeños?). The portion is def enough for a full meal. Ingredients are fresh and taste delicious. Packaging was fine but could've used paper/recycled boxes. Overall, I'd say it's a good option for COVID-19 takeouts! read more

Chubby Fingers Catering - Thanksgiving pre-packaged meal for 4 (but technically 6 easyyyy) - Caterers Near Me

As soon as I found Chubby Fingers I knew I had to have them at our wedding and literally booked them almost 2 years in advance lol. As a Korean American I wanted to share my culture's food with all my guests and they had all the classics with a modern twist. Everyone loved how fresh and beautifully presented the food was and definitely appreciated something other than the standard wedding dishes (nothing wrong with that though! Everyone loves a good steak and chicken). My mom's friends loved the appetizers so much that they literally waited for the servers to come out from the kitchen each time. We all know how hard it is to please Asian ladies so you know it was good! Melissa was so responsive and friendly despite my millions of questions. I can't wait to work with Melissa and Chubby Fingers again for another even and highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Chubby Fingers was awesome! They were one of the catering options from the Revery and we went with them because their food options were way more up our alley compared to the other vendors. Our guests loved the bossam, appetizers like fried chicken and spring rolls, and also the fried rice arancini. The whole team was great to work with and service + food were great. We also want to give a specific shout out to Melissa for really going above and beyond. She was so great to work with, and you're definitely in good hands! read more

Highly recommend! Great food, great service. We first tried Chubby Fingers at a friend's wedding and then had them cater for our son's 100 day celebration. Both times the food was super tasty - a great take on Korean and other Asian cuisine with a modern flair. And the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of food and healthy portions. We will be calling Chubby Fingers again for future events catering! read more

Absolutely delicious catering!! We ordered appetizers for my daughter's Sweet 16 and they were so amazing! All of my guests raved about the food and kept going back throughout the evening to eat more. The amount of food they brought us was plentiful, we definitely did not need to worry about running out, even with the guests grazing throughout the evening. Thank you so much for providing delicious food, it was a hit! Highly recommend!! read more

I tried their dosirak and it was quite delicious. They are really good for catering- I had their food for some time at church and now at Chubby Fingers. The food is Asian/Korean fusion and satisfies many tastes. So really great for catering when you want to make bunch of people happy. I can clearly say this is one of the best catered Asian food that I had. So yup, works for catering. The galbi jim is good. But ddak jim (chicken) is definitely gooood- Great for kids as well. Will keep looking forward to their new menus- But so far ddak jim does the trick :D read more

We used Chubby Fingers, for our wedding day, and they were been amazing! First off, their food was very tasty, all our guests told us that they loved the food, and also the portions were very generous. Because we were doing a covid/quarantine wedding, we wanted bento style lunch boxes and a small box of charcuterie to give to our guests. Chubby Fingers prepared the packaging for the bento box and charcuterie, and they were very cute and professional looking (they even customized the labels for us!). The presentation of the food were both beautiful, and looked very appetizing. The service and consulting they provided were very professional, and we felt we were in good hands, as they seemed very knowledgeable and proficient in what they did. All in all, our experience with them has been very positive, from start to finish, and would highly recommend them to anyone for any event! read more

Chubby Fingers is a brand new catering company that started cooking delicious, creative food during the pandemic. They offer weekly meals for pick-up or delivery, usually on Thursdays or Fridays, as well as special occasion packages. You can see what they're serving on Instagram, where they maintain a lively food porn account (@chubbyfingerscatering), and order through DM, email, or phone. You can pick up from their space in the Arts District or get delivery within a 15-mile radius. If you're placing a large order, they'll deliver even further. One of the founders, Melissa C., is my cousin, but if the food weren't fantastic, I wouldn't eat it so often or Yelp about it with unreserved enthusiasm (you'd see me on here talking about how this or that was "decent" or "tasted like food"). My family has been getting whatever they have to offer each week, as well as a couple of big special occasion meals: Thanksgiving lunch and, this past Saturday, my brother and sister-in-law's wedding dinner. The food is reliably delicious. Chef Chanhee is Korean, and most of what he cooks has a heavy Korean influence, but everything lives in a fun, innovative, super tasty Asian/Angeleno fusion space. The first thing I ever had from them was the tri-tip grain bowl, which they've offered a couple of times. If you see this on their Instagram, order it immediately. It's superb, with a generous portion of silky, flavorful sous vide tri-tip over a fresh, hearty mix of barley, quinoa, and grilled and pickled vegetables. It also comes with perfect soft-boiled egg and an irresistible miso dressing. The bulgogi banh mi is great, too, with sides of garlicky shishito peppers and shrimp egg rolls. I've also enjoyed the Korean tacos--galbi and al pastor, with kimchi salsa and pickled onions, served with elote, charred green onion, Mexican crema, lime, and radish. I've been extremely impressed with both of our large catered family meals. The Thanksgiving lunch was outstanding, built around galbi jjim, or Korean braised short ribs, a specialty of my mom's that I judge harshly when it's made by other people. Chubby Fingers' version was flawless, the beef tender and saturated with flavor, braised with vegetables and meaty mushrooms that soaked up the sauce. The sides were also great, particularly the salad with pickled persimmon, pomegranate seeds, arugula, candied walnuts, burrata, and yuzu vinaigrette--I'm not much of a salad person, but this was just so good. There was also vegetable japchae, black rice stuffing, and heirloom carrots, zucchini, and eggplant roasted with gochujang glaze. A non-traditional Thanksgiving meal that still brought the warm, satisfying flavors and abundant spirit of the holiday. My brother's wedding dinner was even more special. Only my mom and my brother's new mother-in-law were able to attend the wedding, but since my whole family (parents, brothers, and respective significant others) is bubbled together, we were able to have a nice dinner with Chubby Fingers catering. My mom requested surf and turf--frankly a tall order for a young catering company--and they came through with filet mignon, lobster, and a bounty of appetizers and sides. The filet was gorgeous, sous vide and then grilled, as was the juicy seared lobster tail. For appetizers, we had kimchi fried rice arancini with scallion lime creme fraiche, hiyayakko with ponzu sauce and fried nori, and my favorite, spicy chicken larb endive cups with pink pickled onion. As for sides, there were dinner rolls, four cheese mac and cheese, a grilled vegetable platter, classic creamed corn, that awesome persimmon arugula salad, and roasted garlic mashed potatoes with truffle oil and what must've been a stick of butter, it was so delectably creamy and rich. Melissa also does floral arrangements, so she made a centerpiece for our table and my sister-in-law's bouquet, both stunning. If you're looking to cater a special event or just have some excellent food, check out Chubby Fingers. We'll be ordering from them for Christmas (bossam!) and for many more meals to come. read more

Ordered Chubby Fingers for lunch catering through my workplace and tried their vegetarian banh mi sandwich made with cauliflower that was so good and flavorful (didn't realize cauliflower could even be this tasty?) which came with a side of blistered shishito peppers that hubby liked so much he attempted to replicate the dish himself (A for effort but I would order Chubby Fingers in a heartbeat next time). Fast forward a few months and attended a wedding that catered Chubby Fingers and ordered the veggie option again. They really know their stuff! Hubby had the meat option with bossam and shrimp spring roll that I stole some of (yep not a strict vegetarian). Hands down one of the best spring rolls I've ever eaten - it had this extra crispy element that is totally genius and a solid crowd-pleasing peanut sauce with the perfect texture/viscosity - not overly watery and just the right amount of crunchy peanut bits. On the veggie side, they did not disappoint. The salad came with a yuzu dressing that I would buy in bulk for everyday consumption - it was light and bright with a twist - and their Korean-style glass noodles (japchae) legitimately reminded me of the kind my grandma used to make. Overall would highly recommend them for workplace or special event catering because they bring a fresh perspective to Asian cuisine while staying true to the underlying flavors and elements, so you feel like you're eating food that is familiar and homey and yet extra special all at the same time. read more

YOOOO. I just tried their sampler plate for their soft opening and I needed to get the word out, cause this place is . Bossam 5/5 - I might be biased, but bossam is one of my fav foods, and this was just SO SPOT ON. Perfect balance of textures, with the warm tender pork belly, but bright, crunchy moochim and pickled onions. There were so many flavors going on, more than the typical bossam, which for me, is a big plus. Almost like a fusion of... Central American and Korean. I love that kind of stuff, makes it more unique and memorable. Man I'm gonna be dreaming about this for a while. Bibimbite 4/5 - I wasn't sure what to expect! Never had anything like this! But what a concept! I think it's creative and fun. My initial expectation was that the rice was gonna be slightly crunchy like nooroongji. Or maybe it was but because it was sitting in the container it became soft? There's a good kick that I think most people will love, but not feeble 'ol me But overall, still amazing and would eat any day. Shrimp mandu 4.5/5 - Love that there's a whole shrimp. Makes presentation fun, but also it feels more premium too in some way. Good balance of meat and veggies. Might be slightly on the blander side, but I think that's most mandu right? If people want to dip into soy sauce. Yangyeom chicken slider 5/5 - YOO this can put Dave's out of business!! Just the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. Flavor's on POINT. Great addition of pickles and green onions. I can eat 10 of these. I can imagine some people might think it's slightly too sweet with the Hawaiian bread. But I personally think it's just right. read more

Price is on the pricier side, it is very convenient cause they did deliver to me. Communication was horrible emails would take days sometimes weeks to reply and the phone number goes straight to voice mail. I cannot comment on the food except it looks nice and ppl said it was good read more
