The food from here was a hit at my boyfriend's birthday party. The veggie kimbops were huge and delicious! The japchae, mixed rice, and soy sauce tteokbokki were also really good. All the guests were stuffed and happy! We had the food delivered and someone nice came with a trolley of all our food. read more

I had such a great experience ordering from Gok Jee this week for my company lunch. Everything was so beautifully presented, easy communication over text and delivered right on time. Will definitely be ordering from them again, pricing was affordable too. read more

Gok Jee Food - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Catering company for classic Korean cuisine! I've been told they also supply a few KTown restaurants nearby. Which goes to show how good their food is! You can order from a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and seafood dishes. They also offer savory pancakes, kimchi, fried rice, rice rolls, fried entrees, vegetables, and other side dishes. The set menus can feed 5-20 people ($155-$900+). À la carte is available too. Here's what we got: Zucchini Jun (호박전) Breaded summer squash slices that are pan-fried in a flour and egg batter. This is the only way you'll get me to eat vegetables! Fried Chicken (프라이드치킨) Tender wings on the inside, crunchy batter on the outside. Comes with a soy glaze to give it a fantastic sweet and savory flavor combo Japchae (잡채) Stir-fried glass noodles with seasoned vegetables. Superb side dish! Bulgogi (불고기) Thin cuts of beef mixed with sliced onions, julienned carrots, and chopped scallions. A bit dry, needs more marinade Tofu Jun (두부전) Pan-fried soybean curd with a soy sauce based topping. Had a nice kick to it Dongurang Tang (동그랑땡) Ground beef and vegetable patty. Decent, nothing too special Kimbap (불고기쌈 김밥) Cut rice rolls with bulgogi, lettuce, carrots, imitation crab, fishcake, egg strips, and yellow pickled radish. Very large and stuffed with lots of fillings! Kimchi Jun (김치전) Napa cabbage pancake. Tangy and spicy! Whether you're celebrating a wedding, a birthday, a promotion, or a holiday, their catering options are fit for any occasion! read more

I love this Korean catering establishment. They've been around a long time and the food is solid. Recommended them to a friend for their 2 year olds birthday and food was a hit. Can't wait to have more events to be able to order Gok Jee. Please support so they can stay around another 50 years. read more

Based on all the 5-star reviews of Gok Jee, I decided to try them for my Mom's 97th birthday party last night. From the first phone call with Mrs. Oh, I knew I was in good hands. She asked me to text her my address so she could quote me on delivery fee (which was reasonable considering I live in the Hlwd Hills), and we enjoyed texting each other. The 10-person meal was delivered on time (even a bit early - unheard of!), beautifully presented and expertly packaged. The cold dishes were sealed with commercial grade plastic wrap, the hot dishes were wrapped in plastic wrap, then foil, then another layer of plastic wrap, so they were still warm upon arrival. Every single dish was delicious and flavorful; my guests all commented on how good it was and most of them went for seconds. Even after that, we still have a ton of leftovers, so the portions are very generous (I ordered a 10-person meal and we had 11 big eaters!). It's refreshing to me to find a business owner that takes pride not only in their food and service, but also in their spirit and kindness. I have already told several of my friends about Gok Jee Food, and will continue to use them for many years to come! Thank you, Mrs. Oh! I know you don't want attention to yourself, but you are truly a find, and I'm happy I found you! read more

My friend catered a lunch with the following: - BEEF KIMBAP: Outstanding beef quality and flavor in a delicious kimbap! I'm not sure how Gok Jee was able to fit all the ingredients in this -- it's definitely not light on rice, which we appreciated! - JAPCHAE: Veggies to noodles ratio were pretty evenly split with just the right amount of sesame oil. -GALBI: It was still piping hot after ~1 hour drive! Loved the bite of the galbi, perfect sauce -- not too sweet or salty. Generous chunks of fat here and there. - SWEET SPICY CHICKEN: Fried just right, not too much batter with a bit of crisp. The sauce itself was also spot on and not overly sweet or spicy. - TOFU PANCAKE: Medium firm tofu beautifully topped with green onion, chili, diced kimchi, garlic and sesame seeds, - KIMCHI: Both cucumber and napa kimchi were SO GOOD. It was not too spicy, too bitter or sour. Every dish hit the spot for me and it wasn't just that I was hungry. Someone in the kitchen at Gok Jee is hitting all the seasoning notes just right! I'd love to order from them again in the future! read more

The food at this catering place is great and you can order just a tray of one item, which is kinda rare for a Korean catering firm. The chef is really nice and friendly. The food, especially the japchae is really tasty. read more

This place was not bad, gamja tang was pretty good. I had the tongkatsu also which was a little dry and the sauce was a little sweet for me. Overall a decent spot for take out. read more

Gok jee is the best!!! I have the best experience whenever I cater from here. My guests LOVE the food, a lot of their first time trying Korean food and they get HOOKED. The galbi jjim is always a huge crowd pleaser, but the kimbap and japchae are spectacular as well. Best of all is the owner!! I love supporting OG ktown businesses that have been around since the pre-gentrification times. This place has always been consistent, friendly, and delicious. Excellent overall, I will have them cater my wedding one day. 10/10 recommend!! read more

I'm writing a review just for the food itself as my friend who is a Little Tokyo local bought some catering here for her birthday. She mentioned being helped by a Korean grandma and I'm all for it because the food was very homey and delicious and PLENTY for 15 people with a ton of leftovers (probably because we enjoyed drinks too). Note: she placed the request online and since it comes in a 5, 10, and 20 set, for 15 - best to select 10 and note 1.5 servings to scale up. I have no clue what set she ordered, but it came with the following: Pan fried tofu with green onion and peppers (seems like it's soaked in a light soy) Japchae - Korean glass noodles with veggies Bulgogi - also has veggies with it mixed in Gimbap - burdock root, egg, imitation crab, other veg Fried chicken bites Fried shrimp Kimchi --- Support these little local shops and enjoy an abundance of yummy cooking! read more

We ordered the vegetable kimbap and tofu jun for our cocktail hour at our wedding, and it was so popular that it was all eaten up! They were super easy to communicate with and on time with their drop delivery, thank you so much Gok Jee Food!! read more

Nice catering option for a party with English menu. Good communication with Mrs. Oh and texting was very easy to coordinate for the party I was hosting. I would definitely recommend! read more

Did a good job with the catering I ordered! You can order online, and the owner is very responsive on phone and email! I asked for a change in pick-up time a day before and she was very accomodating. Fried dumplings, gulgogi kimbap, Korean fried chicken, japchae, and various pajeons (pancakes), all were tasty. I ordered off the online menu, and it's supposedly 48oz per order, but I don't know how accurate that weight is actually since some of the orders I received definitely felt lighter than 48oz. I ended up ordering approx 60lbs (960oz) of food, and it fed approx 50 people (majority adults, some children,m; your mileage may vary)! The fried dumplings felt light and the Korean fried chicken was fast to go, so I should have ordered more of those. In any case, the food was good and well-received by my friends. I'd order from here again. read more

Gok Jee Food is super delicious! The people there are so wonderful and happy I almost wanted to invited them all to my husband's birthday party :) I called the day before and then placed my order online. When I went to pickup, they actually brought all the food out to my car and carefully placed it in my trunk. The food itself was such a hit with everyone. We did end up placing some of the tins in the oven to warm them up. We will definitely order soon again. Very soon. Thank you! read more

If you want high quality Korean food for catering that is really reasonably priced, you need to come here. It's a family owned, hole in the wall. More importantly they use some msg in their food but not SOOO much that it knocks me out (I have sensitivity to MSG). You need to come in or call in your order. read more

I ordered Set B (for 5 people) for mom's birthday. I saw the previous Menu from Yelp. I thought cucumber kimchi and sikhae included, but they were not included. I uploaded their current Menu. The food was delicious and plenty of it. I'll order again later for special event. read more

Ordered here for my birthday party of about 15-20 people. The staff contacted me and verified my online food order. She was very honest about the amount of food order for this amount & delivery costs. I also love that I was able to change the order 1 week before the actual date. All my friends kept asking where I ordered the food from. I 10/10 recommend their beef bulgogi, fish cakes, tofu jun, and any of their fried chickens. SO DELICIOUS. would definitely cater with them again in the future read more

Some reviews say you get a lot of food, some say you don't get enough. Since I had 50 pounds of galbi, egg rolls and a whole pig on top of catering, I only ordered for 30 people, when in actuality I had 50 guests. I was dubious if it would have been enough for 30 ppl. I highly doubt that it would have been enough food if I had 30 very hungry guests and only this lady's catered food. So, I would say, they don't give you enough food. For the amount of food you get, it's expensive. Also, she made a substitution without letting me know, to a poorer quality meat. I ordered bulgogi kimbap. What I got was bulgogi kimbap and more than half, cheap luncheon meat kimbap. I would have left that out because it was embarrassing to serve to our guests, but i was worried that there wouldnt be enough carbs so I left it out. The Kung Pao shrimp was over-battered and used way too much sugar. Yeah, sure, no msg but tons of sugar. The fried chicken must've been decent bc the guests ate that all up. The bulgogi kimbap was good. Didn't get to try the japchae. read more

Our church group caters from this place often... And there's a reason for it. Bulgogi - THis is bomb here. It's so juicy and tender. I wish they add more bulgogi juice cause I like to pour the juice on top of my bap. Chicken wings - Very sweet. It's much too sweet for me, but chances are y'll like it. The pieces are big too. These are typically the first to run out. Jap Chae - It's nice and glossy. I like the kind that has little veggies and whole lotta noodles. Their jap chae isn't that kind. Potato Salad - Disgusting. Just Gamja Mayo. Beef/Fish Pancakes covered with Egg - They will steal your heart with the first bite. OMO-Nah they are so gooooooooood. I can nibble on those all day, whether with ketchup, tarter sauce, or no sauce xD Galbi Jeem - This is my favorite korean dish so my assesment is unfair. Their galbi jeem kinda whack. Can't explain it. Kim Chi - I don't know. My mom makes the bomb kim chi for some reason. My mom can not cook, hell, i think she will come in near last place in the UK in a cooking contest, but her kim chi is the shiznits so we never got kim chi from these folks. Spinach - was tasty. nice kick. They have so many other things i dont know... Just remember you can't go wrong with bulgogi =) read more

Best catering place ever! The owner and everyone working there were very friendly and helpful. I ordered 12 items for our family gathering, the food was exceptional and nicely presented, everyone loved it!! It wasn't typical average 'catering' food. Everything was better than the most restaurants, good quality food and very very delicious Can't wait for the next party! Thank you Gokjee read more

owner and her staff do a fantastic job! patient people and tasty dishes. everyone likes the catering :)

Gok Jee deserves a 5 star review. I ordered for family and friends dinner to be delivered to Newport Beach from Los Angeles and everything was perfect. My mother is Korean and is an incredible cook, so my expectations are very high and Gok Jee met them. The food and presentation was fantastic. Seasoned perfectly! Great job and great food. Thank you! I will definitely use you again. Mary read more

We were looking for a catering company for my moms birthday and decided to go with this place due to great reviews. Everyone over here is really nice. We ordered a couple of different items off the menu that came out to a little more than we expected. This place isn't the cheapest. The food seemed fresh and tasted good. They had our order ready the next day, and waited after closing hours for us. The only downside was that the galbi jjim we ordered seemed over priced compared to what we got. It would have been better if they packaged it in a smaller tub instead of throwing unnecessary bones in there to make it look full. Since customer service was good, they saved a star from 3 to 4. Would I order from them again? It's hard to say. read more

Great place to cater authentic and DELICIOUS korean food. Bulgogi: perfectly seasoned, sweet and salty korean beef with vegetables Fish pancake: the fish they use is pollack and I really enjoyed this because it's thinner than usual fish pancakes so less of a "fishy" flavor Shrimp fried rice: probably the least favorite out of all the items just because the texture was a little too mushy? I think the rice was over cooked/too moist for stereotypical fried rice Tofu: OMG this was so good. If I figured out how to make this tofu recipe I seriously wouldn't mind going vegan hehhh. It was marinated in some kind of sweet soy and had this green onion/pepper mixture on top. Japchae: your classic Korean glass noodle dish and they know how to make a good one I ate so much but I didn't end up feeling guilty bc most of the dishes had A LOT of vegetables. YUMMM read more

Ordered catered delivery for 30 people wedding. Delivery on time, food delicious, happy guests.

I've catered with them 2 times and they're great. The price is right and everyone is always happy. I ordered bulgogi, spicy fried chicken, kimchi fried rice, kimchi pancake. I ordered food for 20 and it was more like for 30 people. I've always just emailed my order bc, you know millennials are deathly afraid to call. Also I'd be stumbling over my Korean (though they totally speak English, no worries there). I believe I paid in advance as well. At pickup I just parked at the red curb for 30 sec and ran in. My order was all ready and I was out the door instantly. So much easier than going to the grocery store, waiting in the crazy lines then cooking all day! read more

I had to order food for 250-300 people for a funeral and it was all done within a week and Gok Jee came through and pulled it all off without whatsoever a hitch! Plus, the food was amazing!! I had so many people come up to me and tell me that it was the best korean catering food they have ever had (and I thought the same too). Communication was SO easy. I originally ordered for 175 ppl and midweek, I added 75 more. She was so accommodating! I am recommending her HIGHLY! Too bad I was so busy the day of that I didn't have a chance to take ANY pics. Thank you for making what would've been a hard day much easier. read more

We had catered from Gok Jee for a family event. The food was very good. Grandparents and parents all agreed that the food was outstanding. They make sure the food is done by the picky up time, not earlier to ensure the quality. On top, they have outstanding service. When you order (I used the form on their website), a person will call and make sure the order is correct. You can also order half portions or however you seem fit to mix and match. It was one of the most pleasant catering experiences I've had. read more

Ok so... we hired Gokjee to cater the food for our wedding in April and here's the breakdown: 1. Food was great. More than enough food for the guests. We ordered 150 people's worth and we weren't short, despite having some wedding crashers (thank you, older Korean relatives). 2. Presentation was great. We only ordered the food and none of the services that usually come with it since we hired wait staff separately so my mom picked up the fancy looking silver platters a day before and returned it, cleaned, the day after. So then why am I not giving them a 5 out of 5? Because dealing with this lady was SUCH a crazy ride. When my mom and I went back to confirm our order and pay, she kept going ON and ON about the fact that we're costing her a lot of money since we placed the order last year and the price of meat apparently skyrocketed (did it though?). She promised to send eating utensils and cake plates with the food but didn't so one of my guests ran to the nearest store to buy it for us (which I didn't know till after the wedding). She insisted we pay the whole thing in cash - that's multiple thousands, which ugh whatever too late to find a different food vendor days before the wedding. Honestly, it was fine but the reason why I'm giving them a 3 instead of a 4 is because I asked myself, would I ever hire them again for another event? And the answer is a hard NO. read more

In love! I threw a 100 day party for my baby. (In Korean culture, 100 day is a big big milestone in a baby's life so we celebrate!) It was a very small party of 8 adults, one big child, a toddler and two babies. I actually went to Shin Mi Catering before coming to Gok Jee, and for Shin Mi, their minimum is 200 dollars for a buffet for 10 people. That's not something I needed. I needed only certain kinds of food because we were going to grill galbi and I was going to make the seaweed soup myself. At Gok Jee, the lady who took my order understood me, and advised on what kind of things I should order to complement my plan. The day when I picked up the food, the lady gave me a five dollar discount because they seasoned one of the pancakes with soysauce instead of salt by mistake, which they really did not need to do because it tasted great anyway. She said that they did not have time to make it again, but I could tell she was disappointed to give me a product that was not up to her standards, which shows that she really cares about quality. But again, it tasted fantastic and no one at my party know what color it is supposed to be so it's all good! The veggies, pancakes, japchae, kimchi all tasted excellent, and everyone at my party really enjoyed the food. I am very very very picky with my kimchi, but their kimchi was excellent. If you can nail kimchi down, than it is safe to trust the rest of the food. Oh and did I mention, excellent pricing too? LUV THIS PLACE! I wish I can throw more parties like this one just so I can eat their food again! They make entertaining so simple and enjoyable! (Wish they were in South Bay.. K-town is kinda far.. oh well too bad for me) read more

I went with Gok Jee purely on reviews since I never had any of their food at any event before. I took a chance and it paid off! I had them cater my 40th bday for about 50 people this past Saturday, but it practically could have fed 100+. I considered people eating more than once so I increased the portions for each dish. Since the party was at a house, chances of eating throughout the night was high. I really liked how I was able to choose the items I wanted and wasn't restricted to a set buffet menu. I chose 16 items on my menu because I certainly wanted variety so I can cater to people with different tastes. I noticed they even threw in some regular kimchi in addition to my cucumber one. In a way I got a discount because she even threw in some extra for some of the items and even had free delivery. My scrumptious menu consisted of: Galbijim, Fried Shrimp, Zucchini Jun, Spicy Chicken Wings, Chicken/Veg Kebob (cute appetizer size), Fried Pork Cutlet, Japchae, Baby Kimbap, Sangsung Jun, Dongurang Tang, Fried Veg Dumpling, Fried Mushroom, Beansprout, Spinach, Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, White Rice The delivery guy was kind enough to set the burners for us. I wasn't there yet so he even placed my menu cards under each dish because my friends did not know what dish was what. The food was a success and there was plenty of it! Mrs. Oh is so easy to work with when I was trying to figure out the menu. Everyone loved their food and asked who catered it. They were surprised they delivered to the valley (Granada Hills) especially when they're located in K-town. That's where the best Korean food is, right?? Everything was so good.. and yes, like everyone else said.. the galbijim was delish in addition to everyone else! I would definitely have them cater to my next event.. big or small! Thank you Gok Jee for feeding all my friends! read more
