Palace Catering - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I called about a month ago and the lady said "just call us back 1 week before the event" so I try calling them multiple times leaving voicemails, and text because our daughters bday was coming up. and no one has called me back. I live in Irvine and I even drove all the way to LA but no one was answering the door. I've try there food before and my wife and I liked it so we wanted to cater for our daughters 1st bday party. But not anymore. I Dont know how the owner runs the business but this isn't right. Now we Dont have proper food for her. Screw you guys. Hopefully you guys close down. I'm just very annoyed and angry. read more

Thank you Palace Catering for your excellent quality and service! Both my husband's and my families are vegetarian/vegan and we wanted to have a vegetarian menu. Obviously Palace has a lot of great meat dishes (I've heard) but they did such a wonderful job accommodating us, even though it must have been a hassle. The man who works in the office is amazing! So kind, professional, helpful, and understanding. We spent hours trying to figure out how to work everything out--timing, set up, menu, etc. They did everything they could to help us feed over 400 people. People loved the food. Also cake is included and it looked exactly how I wanted! read more

Definitely recommend this catering company for your wedding or big events! Palace catering catered food, linens, and table setting for our wedding August 4, 2018 and we can't be any happier! Bryan was so helpful and easy to work with. We did an initial food tasting with him and met him a couple times after to finalize details for our wedding day. He was extremely helpful! Everyone at our wedding kept saying how great the food was! The wait staff also did an amazing job the day of our wedding. They were super attentive and served us our meals first. They also cut and served our cake to our guests. At the end of the night, they boxed our first tier of our wedding cake for us! We are so grateful we found such an amazing catering company that's so reasonable in price as well. Thank you so much for your great service! Alex & Christina read more

Thank you Bryan for everything!!! We had Palace Catering cater for my wedding in November. Bryan was very easy to work with and we were very happy with the service and the food. I can't tell you how many people told us after the wedding that the food was SO GOOD. Tasty and well-made Korean food. We will probably use them again in the future! read more

I used Palace Catering for my wedding in June of 2008. I had the best experience with this company and they were very professional about everything. They do a lot of catering around the LA area and are very experienced. My wedding guests had a lot of positive comments about the food which was our priority at our reception. They told us that we were the 1st ones to have galbi at a wedding which we liked to hear. We did spend more than the typical $25/person Korean buffet price at weddings, but it was well worth it because our guests were very pleased. I hope they remember me because we're definitely planning on using them for our future references. Their food was excellent and it was a lot more than the basic of the basics you get at common korean weddings. read more

I used Palace Catering for my wedding and I'm completely impressed with them! Their food and customer service were top notch. Because the venue I got married at initially didn't allow any outsider caterers, Palace Catering had to jump through many hurdles and go the extra mile to communicate with the venue manager and the other caterers, but still managed to be the most communicative and on time vendor I used. Steve, the manager is so accommodating and so nice. I received so many compliments about the food. read more

Brian and his team are incredible! We used Palace Catering for our wedding this Saturday and could not have been more appreciative of all the work that they put into our wedding. We had extremely high expectations and extremely specific requests for every little detail and Brian delivered on all of it. He was wonderful about coming to our wedding venue (backyard wedding style) and checking everything out ahead of time. We wanted to do the Paebaek (Korean Ceremony) the day before the actual wedding, so Brian let us pick up the Paebaek things a day before. Then to make sure that the food was fresh and warm, he sent out two different crews to our location in Valencia, CA. The first was to get all of the table settings/banquet tables set up. Then he had the crew drive all the way back to LA and bring the food on his second round. Additionally, even though he had another wedding that same day, he made sure his top team was there to take care of all of our needs. The servers stayed and helped clean up till 1AM that morning! All the service was above and beyond. And the food was wonderful! We were so happy to find a caterer that presented Korean food in a more eye catching manner. The guests were very happy with the number of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. Not to mention the selection of appetizers during cocktail hour and deserts for afterwards. We truly felt that although we had asked for a lot from Brian and his team, they were flexible, gracious, and able to accommodate all of our frantic wedding requests. Thank you again Palace Catering! read more

So good! In every way! Price, taste, portions were all far better than expected. We had a small Christmas get-together and it was all delivered straight to the park that we were meeting at. Highly recommend! read more

Palace Catering did a fabulous job with our wedding. The food was delicious and the guests raved about it as well. They brought the tablecloth, the wine glasses, plates, and the seat covers. The price was really reasonable. They do their best to accommodate your needs and wants. Highly recommend. read more

All my guest was happy for the food and no complaints at all ~^^ Thank you Palace Catering for your care and kindness you I will definitely comeback for my baby's birthday party~^^ read more

Recently attended a wedding with Palace Catering food and it was superb! The short ribs and bulgogi were divine and I couldn't help but devour an ungodly portion. There was a near limitless supply of banchan and the service was great. Will definitely keep these guys in the books for when I throw a party! read more

I used Palace Catering for my son's 1st birthday. It was a small, at-home party & I only invited 30-40 people.. Because it was so small, I didn't expect to get such good personal customer service, but I did. Mr. Kim was so nice & personal. He made me feel like my event was as big & important as any. We ordered bulgogi, spicy chicken, shrimp, mandu, seafood pancakes, chapjae, and rice. When I went to pick it up, they were all ready for me. Very easy & no hassle. All of my guests loved the food. I took the leftovers to work the following day & my (very picky) co-workers liked it too. I was really happy w/ how everything turned out. read more

The food so perfect my wedding. My wedding is so far from their restaurant, but they came on time and set up perfectly. My guests said to me food are good and delicious. Highly recommend this place. read more

One of my best friend had wedding ceremony last year and she ordered catering from here. I supprised that they even decorated whole tables and chairs. OMG it was gorgeous!!! And the foods were really nice too. I could tell this catering company is literally best one in town! read more

I had Palace Catering for my wedding, and i am so happy that i did!! The selections of food were so perfect and tastefully cooked. My husband's one request, while planning the wedding, was that he has a biggest say in selecting the WEDDING FOOD! we went tasting at multiple places, and Palace catering was the one that he was willing to drop the $$ for! ;) My parents and my in-laws were very happy about the food, since many of their guests commented on how extensive the buffet line was and how yummy the food tasted. My non-Korean friends have told me that they enjoyed the food very much as well. Mr. Kim at Palace Catering told me that he will make sure the table settings will be perfect with pretty linens and the chair covers. And they were absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you so much for everything, Palace Catering! :) read more

First of all, Chis the owner was very helpful he seems like the kind of person who cares about great customer service. And as we didnt have a huge budget he was so understanding and worked with us to give us the best service he could offer. The food was delicious and very professionally made the cake was one of the best i had tasted. The server that came to set up was very helpful respectful he did a great job in our wedding. So overall i give them 5 stars and I really recommend this catering company for your wedding or any type of occasion. read more

Okay, so I didn't actually order from Palace Catering but ate their food at a Korean wedding I just attended. Wow, good food! And so much of it! I wanted to keep piling on everything but I didn't want to look like a fatass in front of people I've never met before lol. White and black rice, sushi, sashimi, lots of banchan (Korean side dishes), shrimp tempura, it was never ending. They smartly placed all the best dishes at the end of the buffet table so people don't take too much of that stuff. Kimchi first, short ribs last. I'll keep this little trick in mind at my next Korean wedding. read more

Mr. Lee was fantastic in helping my parents organize the dinner for their 70th birthday party in Corona, CA this past December. Everything was perfect and the food was not only presented beautifully but was also delicious! They do it all from table setup and decorating to serving and clean up at the end of the night. The host from Palace Catering that evening, Mr. Kim, was excellent and we cannot say enough good things about him. He was friendly, efficient, and did a terrific job. Even providing packed leftovers for our guests. I would highly recommend Palace Catering for any event small or big. We had a party of 30 and we plan to use them again in the future! read more

WORST CATERING FOOD EVER! My husband and I attended a very typical Korean wedding. Of course there was Korean catered food. We had our plates full expecting decent food. Decent my ass! The bacon-wrapped asparagus was gross--bacon was rubbery and asparagus an overcooked mush. The fried chicken pieces were tasteless--outer "crust" was drenched in sweet and sour sauce which made it soggy, and the chicken meat was super dry. My husband said he wanted to cough it back up and out but the chicken was so dry that it stuck in his throat. (Heimlich!) The sprouts were very flavorless except salt. (Oh my gosh they use a shitload of salt!) The Korean beef (galbi) was also very dry and again, overly salty. After having a painful couple bites, I was no longer able to eat anything else. I felt sick and nauseous. I walked out of the wedding starving! This was the nastiest, saltiest, most depressing food ever. I don't know how this place got such high ratings. Nasty, gross, and shitty. Their idea of flavoring food is just dumping an entire container of salt into each dish. (Um, health department?) My husband and I walked out very unsatisfied and hungry. read more

Out of all the catering foods I have tried, Palace Catering is one of the best! They have a variety of food, flavorful, and great potions (the sushi and korean side dishes are great!). Palace Catering caters to a lot of events in the Los Angeles area, and a lot of people who have tried the food at events all have positive comments about the food. read more

We ordered food for my boy' first birthday party (dol). Food was great and good service. Recently I bought Kimchi. Love it. Definitely better then market Kimchi. read more

Thanks Brian and Palace catering! You guys were great! The food was a hit at our wedding, better than the other Korean wedding catering I've had. Not only did these guys provide and prepare great food, they also provided and prepared the table setting, table clothes, chair covers, etc. Their middle package was better than some other's premium package. They also included appetizers, wedding cake, desserts, drinks, and the Paebek clothes and setting! The service was great, too. A team came out in the morning to set everything up in Irvine, then went back to LA to get the food and come back! read more

I called just about every catering company in Los Angeles (both American and Korean) but Palace Catering beat everyone's prices so we used them for my daughter's dohl expecting the typical Korean buffet. Typical, it was not. Palace Catering exceeded everyone's expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and I received so many compliments and now my friends and grandparents all want to know who I ordered from. The presentation was outstanding. The food was seasoned perfectly. The shikeh was so good...There was also an abundance of food and I had so much leftover, which is saying a lot because a lot of my guests were big men with big appetites. Look no more and order from here and you will not regret it. As I mentioned, I did all the research and spent many hours looking for a good caterer so that you don't have to. I saved a lot of money and all of my guests were raving about the excellent quality, taste, and presentation of the delicious food. read more

used Palace Catering for our wedding and they were excellent!!! Great food and great service, all our guest were happy!!!

It's the go-to place for catering Korean food. I've been to two weddings in the family catered by these guys and it's been high quality and good service. read more

This company is fantastic! Mr. Kim at Palace Catering put together a surprise Sushi Chef Party for my daughter's 40th birthday and the event was perfect. Sam, the sushi chef and owner of the new restaurant, Sushi Ye on Oxford St., came for two hours and made fresh sushi on site for the guests. From edamame to amazing rolls, fish sushi and the best spicy tuna hand rolls I've ever had, every bit of Sam's food was wonderful. So fresh and delicious. There was also a few yummy Korean dishes like Korean noodles, ribs and fried rice for anyone who couldn't eat sushi or wanted more food and a giant platter of fresh fruit to go with the birthday cake for dessert. Some of the pickiest sushi eaters I know kept commenting on how great Sam's sushi was. The tables looked beautiful with white tablecloths and navy runners and orchid center pieces. Mr. Kim put as much effort into this small, intimate party as I am sure he does for big wedding celebrations. Everything went off without a hitch and my daughter was so happy with the results. If you need a caterer who really cares about his work and does it wonderfully, this company is for you. read more

Overall, I was disappointed. I have catered from Palace Catering at least three times this year and the portions on my most recent order was less than what I got previously. I relied on the photos on their website and they are rather misleading. Their assorted pancakes was pretty much two varieties only (we didn't get the zucchini and only a couple of the colorful ones), contrary to what we received before or on their website photo. The kimchi had so many red pepper flakes it was unappetizing. Their seafood jellyfish looked nothing like their photo (no meat and seafood other than shrimp). The Korean rice punch is not traditional by any means; you will only taste water and sugar. There was no rice or pine nuts in the punch. With that said, their chicken salad, crab dynamite, and overall taste of food is ok. However, with the amount of business I gave them, I expected more courtesy and effort in their food preparation. read more
