That day I decided to cruise over since I thought it was open since I saw people over in that area. I didn't realize that there are 2 businesses there. The left side appears to be a little grocery store, I think they also have a food menu too. On the right side was the Filipino Lumpia spot, but it appeared closed. I was so disappointed, then I saw signs/business cards posted that suggest catering only. There were a few other groups pulling up as well while I was there. While I was leaving, the super friendly nice guy opened up the window and asked me if I needed help! I asked him, are you closed?? He said yes, we only do catering. Did you call in an order? I said no, I did not. He was kind enough to ask me if I wanted to order a small order. I ended up getting 21 lumpias. $5 for 7 pieces. I got the pork ones but I do believe they also sell chicken and beef. He had such a kind face and so friendly, it made my weekend. I brought them home, tried them out and they were super delicious. They were definitely packed with meat too. They are definitely already seasoned. The guy and the lady noted to me the next time I want lumpia is to text the number listed on the business card. I 100% will be doing that the next time I am craving lumpia. YUM. Service: 5/5!!! Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 5/5!!!

Unfortunately it's mostly for catering and they didn't have enough leftovers to sell us for walk-ins. $5 for 7 lumpias. But they were so nice and gave us a handful of lumpias for free to sample. They were really juicy and full of meat! The skin was light and crunchy. We will need to order some next time in advance!

They arrived on time, provided exceptional customer service to every guest, and, most importantly, served incredible food. We even had several reps from Hawaii in attendance, and they were amazed by the freshness and quality of the sushi--especially the poke.

I highly recommend Chef Mike and SushiMeRoLLN for any corporate event, meeting, or special occasion. If you're looking for top-tier food, professional service, and an unforgettable experience, they will exceed your expectations.

When I first saw these folks at the La Jolla farmer's market, I was confused. Filipino-style…read moresteamed buns, with Greek/Italian/other fusion fillings, operated by a very friendly and sociable guy (Brandon? can't quite remember) that looked half-Asian and half-Latino. But holy crap, this was incredible food. First of all, they make everything from scratch, including the dough for the buns. And better yet, rather than using pyrophosphates or ammonia compounds for the leavening agent, they do it traditionally, and you can even taste it in the dough! Even a bite of the dough by itself tastes the same as when I had it in small villages all over SE Asia. Their fillings, both the meals and the desserts, are incredibly well-done. Not over or under-seasoned, with a perfect volume of filling with respect to the size of the bun. I ended up buying 5 buns, since I was only in San Diego for a few days this time around. But damn, was it worth it. Next time I'm back in town, I'll hit them up again for more of their dessert buns particularly.

the best wedding food i've ever had! food was definitely our number one priority & they delivered!…read more ashleigh was our first point of contact for booking a tasting & she was super quick to respond & answered all our questions thoroughly. (she also sent us a ton of referrals since she's a wedding coordinator herself; we ended up using the bar service she rec'd which also tasted great for a reasonable price.) the tasting for up to 6 ppl was in a lowkey pho restaurant in san marcos (dessert not included). they said tastings didn't typically include hors d'oeuvres, but they saved some from the event they did the day before. every dish was great, even our v picky families approved. our place settings were also done up w all the dinnerware that's included w their fee. (just note they accept zelle & check for payment, not cc, so be aware of your bank's transfer limits or come prepared w a checkbook.) from then on our point of contact was alexus, who was also rly responsive. she was our liaison w her rental vendors so we could get linens, also at a rly reasonable price then on the day of, ashleigh was the coordinator on-site & the courses came out quick. the food was just as good as the tasting & got so many compliments! each guest i talked to had a different favorite course (including hors d'oeuvres & dessert) which just proved they were all great. (*i will say, the portions were smaller, but since food costs in general doubled between our tasting & the wedding, it was understandable. guests were still full but just didn't have as much to-go) ofc the day was such a blur, so we were a little bummed that we weren't able to enjoy our sweetheart meal to the fullest. but the great part was, chef tho invited us back to the restaurant so we could have another meal! they timed it w another couple's tasting, so the menu was different from ours but still delicious. it just further cemented that you can't go wrong w any of their dishes [now, were there a few minor hiccups along the way? sure. if we could go back in time, we'd know a 6' round table fits 10 guests more comfortably than 5'. we'd know "complimentary" services are still subject to sales tax & gratuity, so it's more like they're heavily discounted vs 100% free. we would've relied on our bar to serve the soda. & we would've specified how to cut the cake so we wouldn't have run out as early (but to be fair this was prob our coordinator's fault). but ultimately these were all minor issues compared to how great the food was & how happy we were overall.] tldr: def recommend! hott was easily the best thing about our reception!

I was trying to look for a caterer for a party that my husband and I were hosting in a large…read morevacation home in Ramona that would be able to support my desire to have a more East Asian style of food, as most of the caterers in the region were mainly American style. After browsing several sites looking for suitable caterers, I landed on Hott Catering. I sent out emails to several caterers as backups, but Hott Catering was the only one who replied. Luckily it was the caterer I was most hoping for. I also knew I was pressing my luck since most caterers were already booked. Alexus called me the following day, and she sent me the details of the different options they had, and asked what day we were interested in having their service. They ended up having another party to serve the same day, but said hey have enough staff for two parties, and I would have a different chef (other than Tho). After talking with Alexus we chose the Family Style Gold Package that was the following: Appetizers: Snow Crab Soup with Asparagus & Quail Egg Thai Style Black Tiger Shrimp Cocktail Salad Main courses: Grilled Whole Scallop Top with Cheesy Baked Crab Casserole Lobster Tails with Chef's House Special Sauce Crispy Swai Fish Filet with Spicy & Sweet Passion Fruit Sauce Marinated Beef Short Ribs Stewed with Herbs & Red Wine Sauce Served with Japanese Udon Noodles Shanghai Roasted Chicken Drumsticks with Organic Turmeric Rice Dessert: Sweet Pearl Dessert with Pandan Aroma I decided to do a tasting with them at their Pho restaurant in San Marcos where they had us taste the meals we were interested in, minus the dessert (that was originally a Taro Pudding), but that we switched out for the Sweet Pearl Dessert. Everything was unbelievably delicious. I have two nephews that have dairy and nut allergies, and one of them also have an additional allergy of egg and sesame oil. And a sister in law that is pescatarian. Alexus was so kind with my requirements in trying to accommodate me with their dietary restrictions, which was about $140 additional charge for each. She threw in an extra plate for free that included a lobster tail for both of my nephews when I asked about it since their meals did not include the lobster since it typically includes dairy. She said she would add in the lobster tails for free, which made me relieved and grateful at the same time. I was worried how my nephews might feel if they saw everyone receive the lobsters. They also were SUPER gracious in letting me add an extra special meal for my husband's cousin who was allergic to gluten-free very last minute despite the contract having already been finalized and all the initial payments were made. When it came to the day of the party, everything mostly went well. There was a bit of a mixup since it wasn't Tho that was the chef because the servers did not realize that the free lobsters were included the contract. I had asked them about it, and they went to ask the chef and came back and told me that unfortunately the remaining lobsters were already cooked with dairy which made me incredibly disappointed since I had told my nephews they were getting lobster tails. They went back a third time and came back to clarify with me that actually they were wrong, the remaining lobsters were NOT cooked with dairy yet. I'm so happy it was all resolved but it stressed me out a bit at the time. My nephews and my sister in law were served after the food had come out for everyone else first. And for a 12 and 9 year old, patience is definitely not their strong suit when being hungry. I wasn't sure if my husband's cousin was served separately but I imagine so. Looking back, I think I might have gone the buffet style way. The reason being was because there were many children at my party that I chose not to order meals for with HOTT catering and it made the seating along with how the food was served confusing for both the servers and the guests that were parents. HOTT catering supports buffet style, family style and individual plate and it was just messy in the end. The dishes were all delicious (to me) and there was so much food! Many people packed home the overflow of leftovers! I wasn't sure how it went over with my husband's family who are not used to East Asian flavor and cooking, but I can't speak to their taste in food =). It was also very hot that day out in Ramona so it added to the chaos. Alexus was excellent with communication, incredibly responsible, and understanding. Tho was an excellent chef, and their other chef was also very nice, though his accent was slightly stronger. Both my husband and I were communicating with the servers and the chef going back and forth so it was a bit chaotic as we didn't have a party planner. I chose not to reserve tables and chairs and went to another company, but they do provide that service. I highly recommend them and you will be overjoyed! (hit max character limit!)
