Honestly, I was a…read morelittle nervous introducing Filipino food to a mixed crowd for a corporate event, but I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did. Lea was incredibly kind, gracious, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. At one point, we even had to cancel because we were dealing with internet issues at the venue, and she was so understanding. Once we confirmed the event was back on, I reached back out and she made everything seamless. The food was AMAZING. Literally everyone came up to me during the event to say how good it was. People were going back for seconds and asking where the food was from. One of my favorite parts of the experience was getting to give Filipino food space in a corporate setting and seeing how well received it was. Hallelumpia absolutely delivered.

The food was flavorful, fresh, and a hit with the entire family--there wasn't a single dish left untouched. What really stood out was her communication. She thoughtfully texted step-by-step reheating instructions for all the trays we ordered, which made hosting so much less stressful. That level of care and attention truly made a difference. Highly recommend--great food and service!

I was fortunate enough to attend Harry's class, and I was mind blown…read more As a beginner, I was a little nervous about joining a class like this. Before the class started, I heard a couple of the guys there saying they were competitors. I immediately thought, "I'm in over my head," but the class was perfect for a beginner like me as well as the seasoned competitors. By the end of the class, the competitors were amazed by the high level tactics they learned, and I'm amazed at all the things I learned. Harry has a great way of teaching. He frames his stories perfectly and gives will give you some great life lessons in the process. His love for what he does is evident. I highly recommend this class for anyone whether you're a beginner or a competitor.

In this class you will learn everything you wanted to know about BBQ from selecting your meats, trimming the meat (fat, etc) rubs, injections, sauces, times and temperatures of cooking, different woods smokers etc. different regions and styles of BBQ. There is so much more. You learn to love yourself and others. No matter what part of the world we come from we are all the same. Food is one of the best ways to bring everyone together as one. Throughout the class, you get to sample different items. Save room for the huge spread served at lunch. The leftovers are evenly boxed up for everyone to take home. Included in the class is lifetime technical support if you have any questions. You also keep your apron, class book, graduation certificate, leftovers, and a bag of rub for your homework assignment. I highly recommend this class for all. Harry is a genuine person, down to earth, and a funny guy. You will learn so much, enjoy some great food, and have great memories.

Do not use this catering company. This is the first Yelp…read morereview I've ever written. And its a long one but so many things went wrong... Its been a few months since I used their service but I am still so angry about everything that went horribly wrong. I own a game store that was hosting a big fancy event. I have used many caterers and food trucks for various events and have never experienced such a lack of professionalism. We run 2 locations and host events several days a week so I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. I had been communicating with the owner (Kristina) for several months about what we needed for our event. The event was for 2 separate days back to back for 25 people each day. After many email threads and phone conversations confirming exactly what was needed and was paid for well in advance, she requested we pick up our food as she could not deliver it. My employee arrived to pick up our food at a different event they were catering for and they were met by Kristina's very stressed out employees who informed my employee that they only had a quarter of the food we ordered and that they would have to substitute our vegetarian option for a ground beef chili that they had been serving at their other event. The employees of Kristina were mortified and so apologetic. They said they weren't going to charge us extra for the chili (which was a relief since I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR THE FOOD I ORDERED AND DIDNT GET) Her employees also informed us in that moment that Kristina had no-call, no-showed this event they were supposed to be running. She also was not answering anybody's calls all day long. My employee had to rush order a vegetarian option for 12 people from Olive Garden moments before the start of our event, greatly bringing up the cost for my company for this event. About an hour before my event on day 2 she called me and said she wanted to charge me for the chili and that if I wanted any food for my second event I would have to pay her a second time. I broke in that moment. I was so mad. I explained very clearly that I had already paid her for the food I had ordered. They did not have the food I had ordered. It was very clear in every message to and from her EXACTLY what I needed from the very beginning and I still don't understand why she thought I owed her more money. She refused to give me my food for my day 2 and I had to make the food myself with all this additional stress of this huge event already looming over me. She was so mean to me.. I understand that I was frustrated but she was yelling at me and practically threatening me. Also, the food we DID get from her for our first day was stone cold. It was a breaded chicken and it was soggy breading and cold-cold. Just save yourself the trouble and pick a different catering company.

We wanted to go with the bossam (pics look so good) but our event was held after lunchtime/light bites so we opted for the taco bar, which was also amazing. Nonstop compliments from friends and family regarding the food. Presentation was just lovely too. Hard to accomplish great taste, price, authenticity, AND presentation but Chubby Fingers rocked it all. Other items ordered that I didn't get good photos of (all was v delicious): - Yuzu tomato salad (so refreshing, wish I could make this at home) - Gochujang glazed veggies - Elote - Japchae P.S. I'm just remembering how wonderful the tacos were, especially the tortilla. Corn and soft, this is NOT your typical grocery store purchase. I think they source it from a legit Latina market. That's what I mean by authenticity. For all our dishes, they got both Korean and Mexican cuisines right. Chubby Fingers brings the real deal.

Best decision for our Reception/Baby Shower! (Incredible value & taste)…read more Chubby Fingers catered our event and it was absolutely wonderful! OMG... as I'm writing this, I'm still craving the food we had that day from Chubby Fingers! After doing multiple tastings with other caterers, we chose them for their generous portions and amazing value at a very competitive price point. Why we chose them: Before choosing them, we actually met with several other caterers and even did tastings to compare our options. What really stood out about Chubby Fingers was how generous and abundant their offerings were at a very similar price point. The value honestly surprised us in the best way. The Experience (Catering Drop-off): We ended up doing a catering drop-off, and even with that setup, you could truly feel the care and thought they put into everything. The presentation was beautiful and everything was packed so nicely -- it still felt very special and intentional. The Food (The highlight of our day!): On the day of the event, the food completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our guests kept complimenting the food throughout the event, and several people even came up to ask where we found the caterer because they wanted the information for their own events. Our Menu Highlights: 1. Chubs Bossam: Slow-roasted caramelized pork shoulder with ssam bar (perilla leaves, lettuce, and samjang). Absolute hit! 2. Japchae: Korean sweet potato glass noodles with mushrooms and vegetables. 3. Gochujang Glazed Veggies: Roasted market vegetables with a subtle, delicious gochujang glaze. 4.Yuzu Tomato Salad: Heirloom tomatoes with greens and a refreshing yuzu vinaigrette (so fresh!). and the White Rice was included! The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. I'm so sad I didn't take more photos, I was so busy hosting and enjoying the event, but the presentation in person looked even better than the photos!) If you're planning an event, do yourself a favor and book Chubby Fingers--you won't regret it! I truly can't recommend them enough if you want to impress your guests!

From the outset, we were incredibly pleased to work with Brittany as our event specialist for our…read moreNovember wedding at Serra Plaza. Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!
