I really appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail. Andy even came before the event to scope out the space and do a dry run. Second, the food was amazing! We had a work event for 275 people. I continue to hear from coworkers how good the food was. You must order the roasted pig- the star of the show. We also had the island style fish and huli huli chicken. Highly recommend both. Loved the sides and the dessert was amazing! I could eat the banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut butter mochis every day. Yum. Thanks again for an amazing event!

I originally wanted them to cater my wedding and while we didnt quite go that direction, I loved them so much and wanted to support them so badly that I circled back with them for my DREAM rehearsal lunch. I had a crazy idea that I wanted to do a kamayan style lunch to celebrate my Filipino heritage and they were not only super onboard but even brought the flowers to bring it to life (unexpected and almost made me cry lol). Garlic Chicken, Lechon , Lumpia , Veggie Medley , Garlic Rice, Pancit - it was all SO GOOD. My family and friends told me they were drooling over it like 10 times before we could even give our thank you speech to start the meal - and once eaten, everyone RAVED and also kept asking where the food was from (which of course I raved about back). A huge mahalo to Khara who has been the sweetest soul and rock to lean on when bringing the vision to life , Morgan who stepped in with administrative coordination, Chef Andy of course for the DELICIOUS meal(s), and the whole Kalei's Kitchenette ohana. This will not be the last of me, my family, or my friends , so until next time! Thank you so much again!

The difficult part is we spent hours / days trying to find the best BBQ for our event, and take a chance here and not only does Jim cancel a week out leaving us barely any time to find alternatives... but he tried to hide from it! It was clear afterwards he frankly wasn't going to tell us, he ignored my messages and I had to use other means to get a response from him. The messages speak for themselves... just no class, zero respect, and a flake. If you plan on catering for an event, use the SD top 3 BBQ spots or even look a little north. They are super responsive and at least you know they'll show up / respond. We ended up going with Grand Ole BBQ and it was incredible.

I had a question regarding the chicken and so I reached on the website and was provided a prompt response. I placed my order for pick up 2 days later. They do offer delivery if local as well. I ordered a half order of brisket (point); 2lbs of pork belly; and 2lbs of chicken. Total was about $150. We had a party of 4 adults and 3 picky kids. Upon pick up the order was quick and easy. It was actually ready before our scheduled pick up time! (Email was sent with estimated time.) The food was still hot when we started to dig in 30 mins later. The brisket came whole so we had to cut it. Pork belly came in large bite sized pieces. Chicken came chopped per my request. Everything was sooo delicious, juicy, and flavorful. I'm not too keen on smoke flavored or dry brisket but Jim's totally changed my mind! Blew all of us away. For a party of 4 adults, this would last us 3 meals. We couldn't stop raving about it afterwards!!! My personal fave is the pork belly. The sauce was sweet, tangy, and had a bite. I couldn't get enough! Brisket was fatty but I love fattier pieces of meat. The chicken looked dry but it was tender and full of flavor! I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely order again from Jim's! Very satisfied and highly recommended! B

Ours came out in about five minutes. They also give you complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were really good. Fresh, warm, and hard to stop eating. I ordered the lobster enchiladas. It comes with two enchiladas, rice, beans, and a special sauce on the side. I'm from the South so I'm quite familiar with Tex-Mex. Honestly, it was hard to taste the quality of the lobster because everything was so saturated in sauce. The dish was pretty heavy overall. Mine already came covered in sauce so I didn't even touch the extra on the side. Service was just okay. After they drop off your food, that's pretty much it. You refill your own drinks and grab more salsa if you need it. No one really checks in. Overall, it's quick, and it definitely hits the spot, but nothing stood out in a major way. maybe I should've went with tacos. I'm not totally sure what all the hype is about.

LOL I really liked how easy the waitlist process was. You show up, scan the QR code, add your name, number of people in your party, and get updates while you wait. Super simple and convenient. The owner, Syed Afzal, was up front checking on things while guests were being seated and to-go orders were flying out the door. He was incredibly pleasant and took the time to chat with me about the most popular items, especially for a busy Friday night after 10pm. He went over the top sellers, the most unique dishes, and he even shared a funny story about a couple who had apparently gotten into an argument/fight a few weeks back over a reserved table. LOL He also mentioned the other restaurants he and his partners have opened throughout NorCal and SoCal. Such a cool, welcoming guy, and you can tell there's a lot of pride behind what they're building and they love what they do. Now let's talk about the food and the atmosphere. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The whole restaurant had such great energy, with so many guests clearly enjoying their food just as much as I was, and some were celebrating something special by the way they were dressed. I had the goat dum biryani, and while it was packed with flavor, it eventually got a little too spicy for me, even with plenty of raita on top. So I happily took the rest home for a visiting sibling who loves spicy food. The chicken malai kebab, though? Absolutely to die for. Tender, flavorful, and easily something I would order again and again. The service was top-notch and the staff always came with a smile. Multiple people checked on me throughout the meal, and the entire restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. I can't wait to come back with a big group so we can order a ton of different dishes and try even more of the menu. This place is popular for a reason. Couldn't be happier!

Since we had relocated to LA, but were still planning the party in San Diego, we wanted to support a local business, particularly in the Mira Mesa area if possible.

She worked with me on creating a menu for the event and continued to allow me to add to it as our guest list continued to grow, which helped assuage the many stressors that come with planning a party for about 100 guests. The food itself was amazing and we're still getting feedback about how great (and unique!) it was even 2 months later.
