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.

We are so incredibly happy with our decision to have Michi's at our wedding! Since my husband and I…read morecook a lot and truly value good food, catering was our top priority and Michi's did not disappoint! We had two tastings, one upon signing the contract and a final one closer to the date where we were able to bring along family and a close friend. They served us full plates of every dish so we even left with plenty of leftovers, which was such a fun bonus for us! Throughout the planning process, they were very easy to communicate with and were highly responsive via email. It was super convenient having them coordinate the table design at their warehouse, including the linens, plateware, and glassware. While the design meeting isn't a "boutique" curated experience, their warehouse has plenty of options to choose from if you already have a general color palette and vibe in mind. On the wedding day, the staff was extremely attentive and brought us hand rolls before cocktail hour even started to ensure we actually got to eat. The live hand roll station was a massive hit with our guests and absolutely delicious. I also appreciated how open they were to our custom cocktails; I provided my own recipe and li hing powder for a pineapple li hing margarita, which they executed perfectly. Cost-wise, this is not a budget vendor and is on the more expensive side. However, the full-service, high-touch planning and day-of experience, from the tastings to the seamless coordination of all design elements, completely justified the price. You truly get what you pay for, and we have no regrets. If food is a top priority for your wedding, we highly recommend Michi's. Their expertise made our day so special, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

Went to their website to order catered buffet lunch for a board retreat happening the next day in Los Altos. As before site easy to navigate with a variety of options to tailor. The first clue that there might be issues was I wasn't able to see or select my ideal delivery time for later in the day. I thought they were already booked for the time. Then when I confirmed & paid for my order, the interface provided a message at bottom of my receipt that catering orders must be made 48 hours in advance. I did it the night before our retreat. (Made note to self to order 48 hours in advance in future) I was disappointed that the website did not clearly note must be made 48 hours in advance or message before I paid that I was ordering less than 48 hours. After making a decent size order for 9, I went in mode hoping to salvage this order. I sent email to restaurant and left a voicemail that night with intention to call in morning to ensure they can fulfill order or provide a refund if they cannot. I called in morning to leave another message in hopes they check messages before their Saturday opening time of 11am which would not allow enough time to cook & deliver. So while setting up for our retreat and searching for a plan B for lunch the hour before retreat starts at 9:30am, I discovered several missed calls. To my delight it was Lorena confirming that they can complete the order, to call back & that would need to pay $20 to deliverer (lunch delivery is complimentary during weekdays near to their restaurant). She left voicemail and text. When I called back, I thank her and Athena grill for coming through. Fast forward, food delivered in mobile hot boxes as expected on time by a couple, quietly arranged in the back of room, generous serving for 9, and very hot for traveling from Santa Clara to Los Altos. I confirmed with Lorena via text and expressed my gratitude who again was responsive. The food was enjoyed by all. We had salad (crisp w/dressing on side), grilled veggies (chunky cut that were firm not mushy), spanakopita (crisp phylo w/good size filling), vegetarian moussaka (would not miss the meat), rice (loose and more than enough for 9 of us), grilled skewered chicken (always moist), grilled salmon (first time and was good portion), and baklava (tasted home made). One of my colleagues asked if food was Halal, which I think they confirmed. Unsure if correct, so suggest contact restaurant directly. Brought leftovers for Hubby & Dad to enjoy. Made plans to eat at their restaurant so can enjoy other yummy dishes like their lamb. Thank you Lorena & Athena Grill Catering.

I found this event managing company while looking for event managers for our daughters wedding, that happened this year in May 2017 at Nepradak Hall, Montague expy , sanjose. We started to work with Maria since 2016 June. We needed a Wedding coordinator, who was flexible and patient, as we had to do the 3 events on same day. An Indian Hindu wedding in the morning + lunch, American christian wedding in the mid afternoon + tea, ice cream and a reception in the evening + dinner. Indian weddings tend to be opulent in decorations, arrangements and service. Not an easy job. She was in charge of all the events for all table settings, floral decorations, reception settings , all of silver ware, chivari chairs, backdrops, up lights. For Hindu wedding, Maria's team had to build Mandap ( 16 x 16 , wedding ceremony stage) and decorate as per Indian wedding ceremony needs. Mandap with very well draped canopy with floral arrangements had to be ready by 7am. Her team started at 4 in the morning and had it all ready by 7am including the out door seating arrangements for 250 guests. Finished work was simply too good. As a prep work, she did multiple trail settings for us with out any extra fee. For american wedding, she provided excellent wedding stage, floral arch, backdrop. Reception food had different variety, indian, american type. Maria supplied american food. Every one just loved her Salmon. I can write forever about Maria's unconditional service for a very fair price. Since then I and several of our friends have recommended her to other friends. read more

Es el peor servicio por el cual eh pagado. La senora "duena del negocio" dice que si y que si a todo lo que uno le pide y el dia del evento otra gente es la que se encarga de hacer las cosas y entregan una porqueria no solo de servicio pero de todo lo que uno le pide. La contrate para una quinceanera y le pague por comida, aperitivos, arreglar salon e iglesia. Para empezar La senora que Iva a areeglar la iglesia estaba poniendo las flores al momento que todos ivamos a entrar a misa....dejo todos los arreglos florales en el piso! Le pague por flores para la iglesia y aparte para el salon, pues no solo me robo el dinero de las Flores que le pague para el salon, porque me llevaron las de la iglesia pero tambien no fue lo que yo le pedi ni por lo que yo le pague. En la comida le pague aperitivos que jamas sirvieron porque se les olvidaron llevarlos a la fiesta....sirvieron chips y salsa en platos de papel cuando le pague serca de $300 Dolores por cristaleria.....pague por meseros que jamas hicieron su trabajo solo se la pasaron metidos en la cocina! A final de todo quice hablar con la duena y despues que le pague nunca me volvio a dar la cara y me pidio 15 Dias para devolverme una ridicula cantidad de dinero comparado a todo lo que le pague por todo lo que hicieron mal! No les recomiendo ni que confien en su servicio mucho manos en todo lo que promete! read more

I was running out of time and I had already settled in a caterer. key word settled. I was still unsure of the quality of food and was not willing to settle. giving it one more try in google I came across Elma's catering. I meet them and they gave me a tasting. I was amazed with the type of food they provided. everything was so exquisite and their price is very affordable. I recommend their birria de res. It was to die for. Maria the owner, was very patient and very helpful throughout the process she went above and beyond the day of the wedding. EVERY and I mean every one would not stop talking about how good the food was. It was delicious. You know that people remember the food and I am glad that our food was unbelievable. Maria and her team did really well and organized thing well too. The only thing I would say it needed to be better but it was ok was the bartenders they told guest there wasn't anymore tequila and there were 4 big bottles left.... But as far as the food you can not go wrong. The food it great. He had some left overs and she even lend me her pans to carry the food. I would defiantly recommend Elma's catering for any type of event. They do go above and beyond and they ara very attentive with their costumers and with the costumers' guest. read more

We ordered their Taco platter with 3 meats: Chicken, Carne Asada, & Shrimp. They showed up early, setup their food table, grill, drinks and were ready when guests showed up.

Everyone, including my family loved their Tacos and appetizers. We would highly recommend this company & will use them again for our next major party event !

Fast forward to today, I later found out from the bride and groom it was Heaven's Kitchen too! After we did our tasting with HK, we knew we had to have them. Thuy was amazing during the whole process and the team is very organized and professional. We got so many compliments from our guests about how good the food was. We had a good number of guests with dietary restrictions and allergies, but HK was so nice about it and so accommodating. They were able to substitute out some dishes or even prepare a special dish for those with allergies/restrictions because they wanted to make sure all the guests were able to eat. Our vegan and vegetarian guests raved about how happy they were with their meal and one of them said it was the best vegetarian meal they've ever eaten! If you're looking for a caterer, you have to check out Heaven's Kitchen! They were worth every penny and we couldn't have been happier with choosing them to feed our guests! TYSM Thuy, Chef John and the rest of the HK Team for making our wedding so memorable and taking care of our guests!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would…read more From the very beginning, working with this catering team was so easy. I'm someone who had very specific ideas about what I wanted (and also changed my mind a few times ), and they never once made it feel difficult. They just made it happen. Every detail--from the overall menu down to the flavors and presentation--felt completely customized to us. And the food... I cannot emphasize this enough... people are STILL talking about it. Every single guest had something to say. The duck buns? Gone immediately. The lobster and steak? Unreal. Even the vegetables were somehow a highlight (which says a lot). Everything tasted intentional, elevated, and honestly just so good. Omg and how could I forget the passed appetizers during happy hour?! They just kept coming out! The food and service were AMAZING!!!! What really stood out to me though was how thoughtful they were with our guests. They paid close attention to dietary needs like vegetarian options, low-sodium preferences, and individual allergies were all handled seamlessly. No one felt like an afterthought, which meant a lot to us. They even took care of the kids and made fresh chicken nuggets with a side of white rice (my kids' favorite foods lol). We didn't have to think about packing a separate meal for the kids and we didn't have to fight when them to eat what everyone else was served and it honestly made the whole night run smoother. Overall, they didn't just provide food--they elevated the entire experience. I didn't have to stress, second guess, or micromanage anything. They just got it, and delivered beyond what I imagined. Honestly coming from a Viet family I was really scared about serving catered food to all the Ong and Ba because they can be so picky. The food was NOT COLD. It was prepped in the kitchen of the venue, and even Ba Noi (the toughest critic -- never likes wedding food, not easily impressed by anything) enjoyed the food. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you THUY!!!! Everything was PERFECT! I'd have another wedding just to eat your food again!! lol

I believe you have to get on N 24th Street to access the lot. There was confusion on my part as I got there a little early. The security guy said they weren't ready yet, so I should just wait outside. I ended up going inside the building to use the restroom and just sat outside the dining hall. I didn't realize there was a reception outside in the side patio by the parking lot. I wish the security guy had told me when I got there. I did manage to find out in time to have two drinks downstairs. The space inside was set up nicely. It's not a huge room, but the wedding itself wasn't super huge, so they used the space well. In front was the table for the bride, groom, and their two kids. They left space open in the front and in the middle of the room for dancing and the food. Come dinner time, they set up a buffet style table and we grabbed food that way. Downstairs, they had a photo booth set up up by the entrance of the building. There's a beautiful round staircase that takes you upstairs to the dining hall. Nice venue for a wedding. The building from the outside doesn't look like much, but you can do a lot with the space inside.

I've been to other events/parties with catered tacos from other places and most of the time there's not a lot of flavor to the food. The service was quick and friendly, they had a sign with which types of meat they had available and asked how many tacos each person wanted as they went through the line. They also had the option to make a quesadilla as well. The meat was cooked fresh and had a lot of flavor. They also had beans, rice, some mixed veggies, and a salsa bar available. The veggies were also cooked really well with great flavor too! The rice wasn't dry and salsa was tasty. The staff was friendly and the cooking station and salsa bar was clean. If you're looking for someone to cater and cook tacos for an event or party, would definitely recommend them!

We submitted a catering quote request, and to our surprise, Richard called to discuss it. Unfortunately, the call was not the kind of interaction you'd hope for when trying to plan an event. It left us wondering--why is Richard the one calling back customers instead of Minh? I'm writing this in the hopes that Minh will reach out to me directly with a contact number so we can move forward and work with Aloha Catering. Otherwise, we'll need to start exploring other catering options. I will update this review once I hear back from Minh.
