I like coming here to buy freshly prepared side dishes (banchan).

They also offer main dishes that serves 1-2 people that change daily. When I visited, they had galbi jjim, which was absolutely delicious. As the name suggests, they do catering but you should give at least 5-7 days' notice especially during the holidays. I tried to place a catering order during Thanksgiving week and wasn't able to because they were already fully booked. If they were closer, I'd come here at least twice a week to replenish my banchan fix. Nonetheless, I always go out of my way to return!

Don't be fooled by the outer appearance of this catering house. At Joeun, we chose three items from…read morethem for catering: JAPCHAE (glass noodles with assorted vegetables), TEMPURA SHRIMP, and GANGJUNG CHICKEN (sweet and sour fried chicken). They did a PHENOMENAL job getting the order ready precisely on time. The food was a huge SUCCESS! Our guests especially loved the Japchae, with several people asking where it was from. I mentioned that this place specializes in catering, so individual orders might not be possible. The Tempura Shrimp was also a BIG HIT and was the FIRST ITEM TO DISAPPEAR from the buffet platters. Finally, the Gangjung Chicken was DELICIOUS, boasting a perfectly crispy texture and a wonderfully balanced, savory flavor. At the end of the party, I was thrilled to have leftovers to enjoy the following day.

Jay's makes the whole process easy and seamless. We worked with Brittany, and she was such a joy to work with. She kept us informed and helped us every step in the process. Their tasting events also are very helpful in choosing the menu for your event. At first we originally had a menu selected, but after attending the tasting event and trying various items, we ended up changing our menu. If you have the privilege to work with Jay's you should choose them! Jay's catering also caters food at a cafe at my work and all my coworkers love their food. Just another verification that Jay's has awesome food.

*Tips for planners below*…read more We had a great time with Colette's Catering (with Muckenthaler Cultural Center as the partnered venue). Starting from the beginning planning process, Sara was super helpful, quick to respond, knowledgable about the planning process, and accomodating with all our requests. The tasting prior to selecting our menu was delicious. We went off the pre-selected entree choices for our menu, and the food was excellent, with great responses from all our guests. The venue itself was superb. Beautiful location, great green spaces, perfect for the classic Socal outdoor wedding. The flow makes perfect sense, from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception. And there's even an indoor option should weather be a bother. All the staff prior to and the day of were so helpful and friendly. We had no issues with anyone. The only issue we found was a lack of running water in the Bridal Suite sink. Thankfully the bathroom is right inside. Tip 1. I highly recommend perusing their entire menu to decide exactly what you would like to; no need to stick to their pre-selected choices! Of course you'll be paying the a la carte prices then. But the options are abounding. 2. We had a photobooth and gelato vendor that fit perfectly onto the patio area. 3. Dry wedding? No problem! The patio also has a rustic nook to fit a "mocktail" or even a "boba" bar!!! 4. There is adequate parking on-site, parking extends onto the lawn, and the venue provides staff to help guide people. DM for any questions! Would be happy to answer questions about my own personal experiences!
