I hope they still do their breakfast buffet which is the greatest breakfast buffet in America, maybe even the world since they themed it every weekend with different counties. It would be amazing to bring back to remind us who to go to for wedding catering!! And the ladies who worked there were always so amazing and treated my family and I like their family.

Best halal catering company in the area! Their food is excellent, quality and quantity wise. My family ordered boxed meals for some events we had over the last few years and the experiences were always great. The food was packaged so beautifully and were ready for us when we'd come to pick them up. My guests always wanted to know where we go the food from. The best we tried was the chicken tuscany on croissants! I used to come here every so often to enjoy the Sunday brunch buffet. The selections were always carefully crafted and you could tell the chef was cooking with love. I still miss this buffet and hope it comes back instead of being another casualty of the pandemic.

So I reached out to chefs catering for my bridal shower event of 25 people. Chef Abdalla told me to come in to taste the food and send me beautiful pictures of displays of their buffet appetizers. The food sounded so good and the displays were so pretty that I wanted to move forward and set a date. He told me that I'm paying more per person doing apps rather than just serving a lunch but I told him no worries that's the style of small plates I want to serve so the price isn't a breaking point for me. I also agreed to pay for the food tasting cause that's reasonable to do. I reached out 3 days before food tasting to see if the time can be 5 pm instead of 4 pm. He called me and said "I cannot go your tasting at all not even the original time because I am very busy. Take the job or leave the job. I don't have time for this. Have a good day. Bye." I am APPALLED at the behavior of such a large company who lack basic mannerisms of how to deal with clients. Obviously since my order was not tens of thousands of dollars, I don't matter to them. So please keep this in mind that even though the reviews seem good and food looks good, beneath the surface is a disgruntled chef losing his mind cause he's too busy to speak to a client with respect. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

tl,dr: somewhat subpar Likes: - The food was flavored and apparently delivered on time. - Nicely packaged and organized, so it's less likely to spill. Dislikes: - For a big group catering, I had their Herb-roasted Turkey, Stuffing, and Stuffed Pasta. Altogether it was like a bunch of apple sauce, so it was gross trying to finish everything. - a bit salty - Didn't have a plethora of healthy options (such as blackberries and kiwis)

Delicious, professional and reasonably priced catering for 15 people or more and my new go-to caterer. Used Chef's catering to cater a holiday home party, where I desired an elegant holiday buffet. First of all the company was the most professional and accommodating than any that I called in Orange County, taking my order very easily with a straightforward invoice. I had both vegetarians and celiac guests who needed gluten-free options, which they happily accommodated for the chicken entree. I didn't need set-up or serving, and they had a very effective pick-up option, which saved on costs. Joanne or Abdul was very responsive, always answering phone or emails with any questions that I had and very kindly. They have several appetizing menus with all components accounted for for a reasonable price per person: Beautiful salad, bread rolls, a card option, vegetables and the protein. I ordered the holiday menu with chicken Florentine, garlic mashed potatoes and the seasonal vegetables. It was all very delicious and tasted home cooked. Even in the garlic mashed potatoes, it was wonderfully seasoned and fresh. They even kindly threw in a plate of Christmas cookies! For pick-up, what impressed me the most was the handling of the food. They cooked it piping hot to order and packed it in food trays that can fit in chafing dishes. They wrapped it in saran wrap, foil and then they encased it in a styrofoam box. When it arrived at the house, it was still piping hot as a result. This means that if you don't have buffet-ware at home, you can still serve this food fresh and hot with no problems. It was presented beautifully. With all of that, the food was perfectly cooked and moist, not overcooked in the least bit. And after spending a few hours in chafing dishes, it was still moist and delicious till the end. I'm planning to use Chef's catering for all of my catering needs. Genuinely thankful to have found them.

I absolutely love this place. The ordering process was very simple! I ordered over the phone. I had to call back to add some additional meals and then again to change one of them to a vegetarian meal. Joanne was very patient throughout the process. I ordered 21 boxed lunches for a drive-by party we threw. I came to pick up the food at 10:30AM on a Sunday, which is when I requested the meals be ready. I showed up at 10:30AM and was in and out within 5 minutes or so. Joanne wrapped up the boxes in plastic wrap in front of me to ensure I knew everything was there. She wrapped them very carefully so that I wouldn't have to worry about the meals flying around the car while I drove. Overall, everyone loved the food and I'm very pleased with the entire process. This will be my go-to catering place for all events!

This review has been long due. Best food ever. I got the catering done from Chef's Kitchen for a birthday party and everyone loved it. I customized the menu for the event and Joanne was so nice to suggest what would work for an outdoor event and what not. The food was delivered in a immaculate manner and presentation was very appetizing. I am definitely calling them back for our future events.

Our company required a weekday morning, low headcount breakfast catered and set up with a two-day notice. These guys made beyond excellent dishes that were devoured by our guests! We so appreciate your help and your tasty expertise!
Had my Thanksgiving dinner prepared by them I have been a customer since they opened up Food is always excellent I could eat their food every day

I ordered the brunch menu for a birthday brunch at my house for a party of 10 people. The eggs and potatoes tasted amazing! I don't think I've had eggs that good at a restaurant before. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked, with a foam box to keep the items warm until they were ready for serving. We also had some pastries and a fruit platter, arranged very nicely. It looked so pretty, I almost didn't want to eat it. 10/10 would definitely use this caterer again for future events.

Just used them for a work anniversary party. Boxed cold lunches and desserts look just like the photos! Great food, fresh and perfecto! Delish!! I'd use them again for sure.

This restaurant is owned and operated by a father and daughter duo. Both exceptional chefs. I had the pleasure of meeting Joanne and Chef Abdul. Both are kind and genuinely love their clientele. You taste their love through their food! Located in the city of Orange, and nestled in a busy strip mall. It's extremely easy to overlook this restaurant and catering service. Don't. I did many times! They are only open on Sunday's for breakfast and brunch. They do offer catering services and to-go orders. Their menu can be found online via Yelp. From what my foodie Yelp Elite girlfriend told me they do have a buffet breakfast/brunch but since COVID-19 operation was halted. I opted to have the tri-tip, egg omelette and fried potatoes. The tri-tip was exceptionally tender; topped with onions and mushrooms, the omelette was moist, golden and cooked to perfection, my potatoes fried to golden perfection. It was pure love on my plate. The tri-tip is so tender that you don't even need a knife! It's that crazy tender and so succulent. I ordered the cheese roll beef roast sandwich for my husband and he absolutely loved it. As my daughter loved her lemon chicken wrap. Think the Mediterranean. Fresh lemon zest is added to their wrap spread. It truly defines this wrap and elevates it. The restaurant is open and airy. Simple decor and inviting. Do yourself a favor and visit!
