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.

Isaac pulled pork is THE BOMB!!!!…read more I'm from Tennessee and I miss my home cooking. Having his pulled pork brought me back home for a few scrumprtious moments as I readily wolfed the whole dish down. Bravo Sir!!! Cook On!!!!

Isaac is amazing and working with him has truly changed our daily lives…read more I met Isaac through Yelp when he hosted a cooking class for my friends and I. When our jobs got busy, (startups are awesome, not), we contacted Isaac to provide personal chef services. This has significantly improved our lives. Instead of rushing to the store to pick something up that is easy to cook or pre-made, then cook quickly without a chance to sit down with the kids at a dinner table, we simply come back home and heat up the food Isaac has dropped off. We have a fantastic, delicious yet healthy (paleo baby) meal ready to eat in 10 minutes. Isaac emails the menu weekly, we make choices and that is it. I cannot thank Isaac enough for the wonderful food and no hassle meal service he has provided to our family!

First time coming here. I was a bit confused with how it all works but I got the hang of it. You…read morecan order online or there at the kiosk ( I did the kiosk).

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!!

The food quality is consistently outstanding and delicious! I've always struggled with clean eating, but their food is delicious and makes it totally easy and accessible. And their customer service is A++. If something is wrong with my order, they make sure I get it right the next time! If you are on the fence do not hesitate to choose them, they are indeed the BEST!!

Amazing. Truly spectacular communication, flexibility, and attention to detail. From day one,…read moreBrian and the team were easy going and very accommodating. On the day of our Vow Renewal, my wife and I were running late, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the catering staff had taken it upon themselves to carefully put out our centerpieces, which we thought we would have to do. They even packed them away at the end of the night. We got multiple compliments from guests admiring the service. The team was extremely friendly, packed away leftovers for us and other guests, and was on top of their game the whole night! Ali was flexible with our last-minute changes, and Brian even drove to multiple locations just to find the same wine we drank on our honeymoon (which was a hit) so guests could partake. We are so so pleased. They were easily the best vendor of the entire event.

Dear Brian: I cannot…read moreeven begin to tell you how delightful the evening catering was strategically put out. The food was extraordinary and the servers were super great at getting folks to "splurge" and just have one more. Oh my gosh, most folks beamed with pleasure after tasting the Beef wellingstons, the lettuce wraps, the crab cakes, those pear tarlets! Some even carried on discussion on how healthy the appetizers were. Cheat A Little selections were really a hit! The greenery/decor made a nice festive touch that seemed to invite folks over to have a coke or a little wine and cheer. We had a live acoustic musician playing in the background, and the whole time was bathed in warmth and good tidings. It was beyond enjoyable, delicious, and great. I'm fairly new at the San Mateo County History Museum, so I don't have the years of experience that others might have to know how well adapted you and your company Cheat-A-Little are to these events. I am so pleased with myself for trusting you. High-five, a TEN, perfect score for you and your excellent catering business my friend! Under the Rotunda the set up, quality foods, and tall tables made it the finest, friendliest, most festive time. We are so so pleased. Thanks a million! Thanks from the San Mateo County History Museum staff!
