Yelp reviews for sushi catering
Elaine Y
Thank you Chef for a memorable experience to celebrate my father's 70th! Everything was delicious and so beautifully presented. Chef took care of everything for a smooth process. Highly recommend!
Paulina L
Amazing experience. It was so nice to have a delicious dinner in the comfort of our own home. One of the best meals I've ever had, and the price is more than reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get (we were both stuffed afterwards).
Natalie P
On the day of the dinner, he brought everything he needed and even some surprise extras to make the night extra special. I didn't even have to set the table. And the food was out of this world! Really high quality fish and other ingredients.
Angela C
Chef Maezaki was truly the best chef for our in home sushi birthday dinner event. He was so professional, shows up 3 hrs ahead of time to prepare the most beautiful dinner. The 8 appetizer boxes were incredibly detailed and delicious, the sushi was top grade and the beef was mouth watering.
