    delicious rolls!
    Katrina N.

    Food quality: 10/10 Responsiveness: 10/10 Pricing: 10/10 Day of Service/Care: 11/10 I have nothing negative to say. We had a handroll bar and a sushi roll station for cocktail hour at our wedding. They came in a timely manner and also even set aside rolls for the bride and groom to enjoy before it went away! Everyone absolutely LOVED their food. We even had a tasting beforehand to affirm the quality of their food. The chefs were amazing and so so kind. We love it when kind and professional people work a wedding! Thanks Greenfish Catering and thank you Mina for taking care of all the comms prior to the wedding!

    I highly recommend Greenfish Catering for catering your big event! We used them to cater our wedding reception at the Los Altos History Museum this past October 2021. Background on our wedding: my husband and I got married in a civil ceremony in October 2019. We wanted to have our bigger reception with family and friends in October 2020. Then the pandemic happened and around August 2021 we decided we needed to postpone our bigger celebration to the following year to October 2021. Mina, the catering coordinator, was great in working with us to reschedule our event. No additional fees were required except to account for new 2021 pricing which was fair to us. Greenfish is one of LAHM's approved caterers and they've worked at LAHM many times. She helped coordinate a site visit to the museum to work on our floor plan and set up the rentals with a partner rental company. I trusted Mina's judgment on which items needed to be rented and which things we could use from the museum in order to save some money (we ended up only renting the sweetheart table, cross back chairs for bride and groom, linens, and the plates/silverware. All other furniture came from the museum). Mina was great at suggesting which linens to rent, such as cream linens vs. white because white may be too harsh in photographs. I also trusted her and my event coordinator JL Events, who also worked events at LAHM before, to set up the floor plan and decide where the dinner and cocktail tables should go. She also worked with Chef Eric to customize the menu for us, such as including sushi rolls in our cocktail hour as appetizers and adjusting some dishes to account for allergies and dietary restrictions (we had some vegetarians and a diabetic on our guest list). Before the pandemic, we were lucky enough to already have a tasting set up in February 2020. We asked LAHM's coordinator on any recommendations for a caterer that did Asian fusion food and he enthusiastically recommended Greenfish. At the tasting we loved all the seafood dishes, from the sushi rolls to the baked salmon! As we left we knew we wanted to book Greenfish. After our reception ended, all our guests raved about the food and how much they loved it! Everyone loved the unique dishes and how good everything tasted. Some standout dishes were the sushi rolls, japchae, and Thai basil chicken and tofu. Mina's team thoughtfully packed up all the leftovers for us to take home after the reception (I still have some Thai basil chicken in our freezer to eat!). We were so happy to have Greenfish cater our reception and hope to work with them again for future events!

    Professionalism 5/5 Food Quality 5/5 Service 5/5 Responsiveness 4/5 Value 5/5 Flexibility 5/5 Greenfish Catering was a preferred vendor of our wedding venue, Hakone Gardens, and it is understandable why. When my husband and I attended the menu tasting, it was initially for the buffet-style menu. But upon request from the mother-of-the-bride, we blindly opted for the plated menu with total trust that it would turn out fine based on our tastebuds. Greenfish did not disappoint with the food quality and service. Our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour of passed hors d'oeuvres: caprese skewers, vegetarian Japanese dumplings, Mediterranean chicken kebabs, and beef-stuffed mushrooms. To accompany this, we opted for their sushi bar which provided an array of fresh and flavorful sushi rolls and nigiri. There were overwhelming comments from our guests about the quality of sushi, which echoed the same opinions my husband and I had during the menu tasting. The entire sushi bar was wiped clean by the end of the night (something I personally recommend splurging on)! Our guests were served a 1st course meal of roasted beet arugula salad paired with bread and butter. Their main entrée was a choice among grilled eggplant, filet mignon or steamed sea bass. My husband and I ordered the steak and fish to share, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The sea bass was moist, the meat buttery and flaky on the fork; the filet mignon a medium rare inside while soft, well-seasoned and tender! The servers, of which there were many since it was a plated dinner, were also noted to be very friendly and accommodating. I notice this myself with my interactions with them, but also our guests made it a point to communicate this to us. At one point in the evening, my father expressed that he was cold, and the staff promptly wheeled in an outdoor heater that I had rented to warm him up! During the wedding planning process, the event manager, Jean Martinez, corresponded with me closely by email, phonecall and text. I do notice that GreenFish is especially in demand, and the staff can be bum-rushed. Sometimes I would have to email Jean a second time to prompt her response because I believe she is so busy managing multiple events, and remind her of some key changes in our plans that were previously discussed. This certainly does not detract from the quality of their service, however, as Jean solidified everything with me multiple times before the big day. Because Jean was my greatest contact within the catering company, I have to put her on blast. When touring the venue with her, she gave invaluable recommendations on set-up for a wedding in this space. We went to the rental warehouse together, and she staged the reception guest table with the inventory they had available. Jean was the one who prompted me for all the key rentals down to the style of eating utensils and plates, and even the amount and type of linens needed for the event. I didn't need to think too much, but any ideas I had, Jean would entertain while providing novel insight. Some unique things Jean did for me that I appreciate for our wedding was renting out a half-round sweetheart table, securing the outdoor patio heaters (it was an outdoor event), suggesting the square-shaped modern plates, and supplying high-low cylindrical vases which I used as centerpiece decorations with floating candles. Even though Jean has a lot on her plate, she always brought positivity to our interactions, exuding a maternal warmth that made me feel like I could place my trust in her for this hefty task. I never felt like I had to worry during the entire planning process. Thanks so much, Jean, for all the positive energy you brought to our planning process. You made things easy for us! The staff were amazing, professional and friendly! And thank you to the chef who expertly provided such wonderfully delicious food that everyone enjoyed! If you're planning a wedding, I strongly recommend GreenFish Catering!

    We chose Greenfish as the caterer for our wedding at Hakone Garden in May. Jean, our coordinator, did such a great job helping us pick out our linens, silverware and went above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. She made the whole process so easy and seamless and helped walk us through everything. The food, especially the sushi station, was so amazing our guests loved it!!

    Their hors d'oeurves, made to order.

    Between the great service, excellent food, friendly staff, beautiful decor & plating, I honestly don't know where to begin. My company's 10-year anniversary was coming up, and I compared quite a few places throughout the bay that had 4.5-5 star ratings on Yelp. Greenfish not only cost less for what we got (a carving station, sushi station, 2 bartenders, 2 servers and passed hors d'eouvres for 60 guests), but also gave me way more attention than the other catering companies I had contacted. Once we began communicating via email, within days Mina and another employee was at our office to see our general setup so we could plan the party layout, decorations, and what they would need to bring. NO ONE else did that. Every single member of their staff was courteous, friendly, and very good at what they do. The servers were attentive and helpful. They helped me string up lights or stock our fridge with beer 2 hours prior to the party and kept clearing plates throughout the night. The chef, Eric rolled sushi and kept the sushi coming nonstop for hours. He also plated all hors d'oeuvres himself - beautiful work and everyone loved the food. The bartender and I worked together to create a list of cocktails, beers, etc. so I knew ahead of time what to provide. They even arrived with a framed drink menu that was custom made for us - Sazze's Drink Menu with all the drinks I had mentioned serving. It was so awesome! We ended up hanging out with the staff because they're so cool. We even gave them some beers from our very limited stash of Pliny the Elder, which we enjoyed together as they thanked me for working with them and making their jobs easier. I seriously think they made MY job easier. I'm not a full-time party planner...I'm in marketing at a small tech company. I just happened to get stuck with this event-planning role. All in all, everything went exactly as planned throughout the night and everyone had such a blast. I'm already thinking about contacting Greenfish again for our next event!

    I had absolutely no idea this amazing establishment even existed. Lucky for me, my office was having an open house event and needed a caterer. My manager did some research and stumbled upon GreenFish through yelp. We honestly couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I didn't deal with the whole planning and menu selecting aspect, my review is solely based on the food and the customer service that was given on the day of our event. Three employees arrived and set up the tables and beverage station. From the moment they walked in, it was all business yet they were very approachable and friendly. SCORE! Food started getting prepared and before we knew it, the tables were filled with edible food art. Set up was very clean, elegant, and dare I say... MOUTHWATERING. check out my photos!! ALL night, we received compliments on the food. Chef Eric and his team makes magic happen! Hopefully I'll be able to work with their team again- preferably sooner than later- if wedding planning for myself ever goes underway. I would totally recommend this establishment to my friends and family.

    Highly recommend Greenfish Catering! We hired Greenfish Catering for a party at our house. We worked with Mina who was professional, communicative and easy to work with. The food was delicious. We ordered 2 sushi platters, veggies, fried rice, katsu and noodles. We will definitely use Greenfish Catering again.

    Greenfish totally rocked my wedding on May 23! They did full service catering and managed all the rentals for my wedding at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga. Mina is not just a total sweetheart, she is also a great coordinator. She made sure that our wedding was perfect AND on budget. During the last week before the wedding, she kept in touch with me almost daily just to make sure that all the details were in place. On the day of, the reception area was set up beautifully and the sushi bar looked amazing: Piles of fresh sushi made on-site by Chef Eric who is not just a good chef but a super nice guy. The sushi bar was beautifully decorated with vegetables carved into flowers. The fish was fresh and the sushi itself was fantastic. The vegetarians were happy too because the chef would make vegetarian rolls for them on the spot. We had bacon wrapped scallops and teriyaki chicken skewers for hors d'oeuvres. I only had small bites of each before having to run off to take pictures and I REALLY WANTED MORE!!! Especially the scallops! D: The kalbi, salmon, and vegetable dishes were really good too, but I did not see how the other buffet setting looked though I'm sure it was great. The only reason I didn't get to see it was because Mina made sure that my husband and I got served our own plates once we sat down during the reception. So unlike a lot of brides, I actually had time to eat my own wedding food! The only thing I regret is being too busy and anxious to have a full appetite! In short, all the food was AWESOME, but don't really have to take my word for it, I'll let the following fact speak for itself: We ordered plenty of food for our 110 guests and we were completely cleared out by the end of the night. We received so many compliments on the food and personally I had never seen people eat so much at a wedding. :) If you want great Asian food at your event, go with Greenfish. The staff is simply amazing and the prices are very reasonable for what you get.

This included a niche Japanese sparking sake called Mio. Seriously. Given all the constraints and unreasonable requests, I am surprised they didn't drop us as clients.
