November 2023. Had catering for 60 people. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. Steamed shrimp that was was so overcooked it was mushy. Tasteless green beans that had no seasoning (including salt and pepper). Fried rice that tasted like it was from a box mix. Thank God i bought trays of sandwiches in case we ran out of food, because that’s what everyone ate. I would NEVER recommend The Bronx Gourmet.

I contacted The Bronx Gourmet - Chef Neomi at what I thought was surely the last minute. We had a scheduling conflict with our initial caterer, and were desperate to find a replacement. Chef Neomi answered my email immediately and confirmed her availability. Our budget was relatively small and the turnaround was short. She came though with a budget-friendly menu and we were set! The food was savory, hot, and delicious. She was prompt, courteous, professional and even made sure we set the buffet warmers as to not burn any food. I hope we find ourselves celebrating in the Chesapeake area again soon. I will not hesitate to reach out to Chef Neomi and her staff for the next event!

I was fortunate to hire Chef Noemi of the Bronx Gourmet in a pinch. She not only responded timely with a "yes I can" demeanor, she indulged me in my special menu request. I personally met her at the event site and she was friendly and courteous. The food display was stylish and the food itself was tasty. Noemi stayed with us throughout the day and cleaned up afterwards. I really appreciate the level and quality of service that she and her staff provided.

Neomi cooked for my family when we were at Virginia Beach for a vacation. The food was fantastic, there was always so much of it, and she was a joy to have around the house. Highly recommend!

Unprofessional and somewhat creepy . I have been contacting many caterers in search for the right one that fits the budget and preferred menu . The Bronx gourmet happened to be one of the place on my list to contact. I have contacted Ms. Naomi through email giving information and my contact hoping she can fit need . She agreed to fit need and to the tasting . She asked me to call her, and I told her I would but it slipped my mind . However, she made sure to remind me by stating in an email " you can call me tomorrow" now I took it some type of way seeing she emailed me late at night saying that and I didn't mean not to call her but I let it go . I called her earlier today and she must have been sick cause I heard sniffling and the sort . But I wasn't going to hold that over her head the cold weather out it happens to everyone . However , when asking her about details in the different menu and mock-tails I was interested in it seem as if it irritated her and she seemed confused as if she couldn't do it . Also the tasting was $250 o thought that was pretty high especially since the tasting would be at her house . Nothing necessarily wrong except it may be alittle more professional to have it somewhere . She proceeded after the calm to send PayPal invoice which is fine and we set a pending tasting date in December . However she had just sent it and text my phone asking if I got the invoice . And I kindly assured her that I'll have my family look over it and we will live forward . She proceeds to text me she doesn't understand and didn't we already set a date . At that point with all the other red flags between here and there that's not in this review I decided to just block her on my phone and forget about the caterer . She made sure to send the invoice that she had canceled . Wow what an experience they always seem to happen to me lol

Chef Noemi was amazing! I was bombarded with compliments about the food during the event and for some time after. As the host I didn't get to sit down and eat because I was busy making sure everybody was happy. But Chef Noemi chased me down with a plate and it was instant clarification and satisfaction. I really appreciated the initial meet with Chef Noemi. She was very attentive towards my party's specific taste and desires. We sat down and discussed the event and she asked me all the right questions in order to please everyone's taste buds. It was like having your own personal chef right in your own house! A great experience that I'd highly recommend.

Noemi and her staff at The Bronx Gourmet are very professional and hardworking. She will work with her clients, whether you have guests 2 or 100, from dinner parties, retirements to weddings, any occasion. The BG will go out of the way to make sure your experience is personal and remembering. If you have an idea, Noemi can make it happen. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a memorable yet fun and smooth occasion.

I love The Bronx Gourmet, Chef Noemi is rockin with flavor and her easy adaptability to her customers needs. I'd recommend for any event large or small Noemi does it all!
What has made me a repeat customer of The Bronx Gourmet, is not only the wonderful, and oh so tasty food. It's Chef Noemi's personable nature and professional ability to execute a beautiful, eye appealing spread, that leaves my guests happy and full.
