  Excellent food and team

  We cannot thank Amy, Christina, and the LCK team enough for the amazing food and service at our wedding at Villa Montalvo a few weeks ago. Navigating through wedding planning was challenging at times because everything was so new to us. Amy and Christina are excellent communicators, answering every email and question we had with such great detail. From table layouts, linens, food choices, and even the timeline of the day, they were very patient with us as they guided us with every step of the way.
  
  We are so impressed by their organization skills and reliability when it comes to email communication. This really helped us prepare for every detail in advance, especially with their advice and input which we greatly appreciated. We were able to have our tasting in advance; this was a wonderful experience because the setting was so beautiful and Christina was able to answer any questions we had in person. We were able to see the glassware / tabletop options at the tasting as well, which really helped us make decisions.
  
  Weeks leading up to the wedding, we felt very confident that we were in great hands because of the concise communication and clear plan that we had for the wedding day. The LKC team took care of the pre-ceremony refreshment table, cocktail hour appetizers + open bar, and the dinner reception / cake. Amy even brought appetizers to our bridal suite before the ceremony so that we could enjoy ourselves beforehand. They executed all of these flawlessly and followed everything according to plan. The most amazing part of our experience with LKC was that everyone raved about every single dish. Guests said everything was cooked perfectly and people were impressed that our food was so good considering that they were not dining at a restaurant and at a venue with a kitchen instead. LKC is very familiar with Villa Montalvo which is why they are so great at what they do at this venue. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at our wedding; it was such a special feeling to finally be able to eat our wedding meal on our wedding day. We opted to do family style meals with tables of 8; each table had plenty of leftovers to take home and the LKC team provided boxes for guests to box up their food which we really appreciated.
  
  Overall we highly recommend the LKC for your catering services. Planning and working with a team with excellent communication really helped us feel confident that our wedding day would be a success. Food meant a lot to us for our wedding day for guests to enjoy and we are so thrilled to say that the LKC team exceeded every expectation that we had. Thank you Amy, Christina, and the LKC team!

  Like a Well-Oiled Machine (that makes A+ Boba!)

  My partner and I have had our fair share of dry chicken breast at other weddings, so we were determined to have something different at our own. As Asian-Americans, this Pan-Asian caterer immediately caught our eye. Steamed buns? Banh mi? Garlic noodles, Popcorn chicken and Boba?? We were nervous before our tasting that Le’s was too good to be true. We are pleased to report however that Le’s is legit! Could the flavors and seasoning be a little stronger? Maybe. But the taste is right and the food's still yummy, while being more approachable to non-adventurous palates. Despite delays in our schedule, Le’s tasted fresh at our wedding. Our Vietnamese and Filipino families were very happy, and our other Asian friends said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. I would also like to say that my parents call me “Miss Boba”, and I would give both the milk tea and taro milk tea an A+.
  
  While the flavors and quality of the food are indeed impressive, I found myself even more impressed by the way Le’s operates. We were in contact with Amy prior to the wedding, and always received quick and thorough replies. The amount of detail required to plan a wedding can feel paralyzing at times, but Amy made this as painless as possible. I could easily see this process becoming a nightmare with a different caterer! As mentioned earlier, events were pushed back quite a bit, but Le’s was still able to make our family-style dinner work. (This usually requires a specific length of time.) I also heard that servers approached guests who listed food sensitivities, and kept them informed as food arrived at each table. The service provided the day of our wedding was truly top-notch.
  
  We are so grateful to have worked with Le’s, and couldn’t have asked for a better caterer. We can’t recommend them enough. Thanks again for everything!

  Excellent in every respect!

  Le’s catered our June 2023 wedding at Hakone Gardens, and my husband and I can’t say enough great things about them, especially Christina! From the very beginning, she was responsive, professional, kind, and flexible, and worked fabulously with our planner (they’ve collaborated before). We were absolutely blown away at our tasting (where Christina and Amy were so lovely and personable) and were so glad we did family style so we didn’t have to leave off menu items—everything was SO GOOD. Our guests RAVED about the food! My husband’s family from Taiwan couldn’t stop talking about how good the tofu we subbed for crab tasted. Le’s bartenders were also fantastic—the signature drinks were genuinely excellent and the bartenders were so friendly and chill (great vibes from your vendors are super important on the wedding day!). Christina also helped make purchasing the alcohol as easy as possible and walked us through the whole process. If you’re getting married in the Bay Area and are looking for a caterer, we can’t recommend Le’s highly enough!!

  Working with Le's Kitchen Catering is a dream!

  If you are considering hiring Le's Kitchen for your wedding catering, do it!! It was really important for us to have great food at our wedding, and after seeing all the great reviews for Le's Kitchen, we actually went through their venue list and ended up picking our venue that way. Long story short, they definitely knocked it out of the park and more than delivered.
  
  Ava and her team are absolutely phenomenal to work with. From our very first reach out to the days leading up the wedding, our communication with them has been flawless which really helped keep our stress levels down. Special shoutout to Christina, our point person, who was sooo patient with us and always prompt to respond to our (many) inquiries with great detail. On the day of, Ava was incredibly attentive and caring to make sure we were well-fed during cocktail hour and the reception. Since we were stuffed, she made sure that we got to try a bit of everything by packing up some food for us to take home after.
  
  The food, as many people have already mentioned, was phenomenal. Our guests gushed over the food, with some quite disappointed to find out that they only do catering and there is no physical restaurant for them to go to. We did the banquet style menu, which worked well to serve ~8-9 people per table. They also had vegetarian options for the vegetarians, who said the food portion was definitely enough and still delicious. We added on boba during cocktail hour and it was really good (this is coming from 2 self-proclaimed boba snobs and their boba loving friends)!
  
  Overall, we absolutely loved working with Ava, Christina, and her team and would highly recommend working with them for your catering needs.

  You need le's for your wedding!

  I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about this team - kind, professional, responsive, easy to work with and most importantly, they create an OUTSTANDING culinary experience. I know people don't go to weddings for the food, but if you want to wow your guests and give them a memorable experience, you cannot go wrong with Le's Kitchen Catering. I feel so incredibly lucky we found them! I am half Asian but didn't think to have Asian fusion cuisine at our wedding until I read through the perfect reviews of Le's and they aren't lying. This is some of the best food we've had, let alone at a wedding. I hope we convince some of our engaged friends to use Le's so we can eat some salt & pepper tofu and garlic noodles again!! From an event planning perspective, Amy & Christina were so incredible. They coordinated additional rentals through their rental company vendor that were outside the scope of the tabletop items that were included and this got us a better deal on those items, and streamlined the number of vendors we had to work with. They also were so flexible and easy-going with our venue switch mid-way through planning. The new venue we moved to was also not somewhere they had worked before and they pulled it off as if they had done tons of events there. I am so grateful for this team who made our special day the best ever!!

  The best caterer!

  Forget about wedding food, Le's Kitchen is one of the best meals I've ever had! My wife and I still can't believe how lucky we were to be able to catering such a delicious meal for our wedding. If you want to blow your guests away, you must choose Le's Kitchen as your caterer.
  
  Starting from early conversations, Ava was phenomenal in terms of communication, accommodation, and response rate. We were set up with a tasting in a matter of weeks, and we were immediately in love with every single dish that was brought out. The tasting experience itself felt as if we were in a 5 star restaurant.
  
  Leading up to our wedding, Ava answered all our questions in a timely manner and even made sure we were missing any details. I'm not sure how she had time to focus on the preparation of our wedding while catering for other weddings (especially during the pandemic).
  
  The catering for our wedding was more than we could as for. Every meal was perfectly prepared, delicious, and appealing for everyone (even for vegetarians/vegans). Even some of my family members who've never eaten crab were asking for more of the soft shell crab salad. Not only we didn't hear a single complaint, the guests were so in love with the meal that they kept asking if Le's Kitchen had a restaurant for them to visit! I highly recommend using Le's Kitchen as your caterer for your wedding. It was worth every single penny and we hope to work with them again!

  Unforgettable wedding caterer

  Our wedding guests are still talking about the food saying it was the best they ever had at a wedding, by far.
  
  Once we connected with Le's Kitchen Catering Director Ava Yu, our wedding felt special. Her communication and organizational skills are top notch, from beginning to end.
  
  I am Chinese-Vietnamese American, so it meant a great deal I was able to celebrate my blended background through cuisine. Doesn't hurt I'm a foodie :) Both my American friends and my elders thoroughly enjoyed our family-style wedding meal, as did my Persian in-laws.
  
  Specifically, the soft shell crab tempura salad was a show stopper. Everyone loved the Peking chicken and we are still getting raving reviews about the miso glazed sea bass.
  
  It wasn't just good "wedding food." It wonderful Chinese, Southeast Asian-inspired family-style fine dining that happened to be served at our wedding.
  
  As important as the food and service, if not more, it was meaningful to my husband and me to support and highlight a Bay Area business owned and operated by strong, minority women. Head Chef Mama Le runs the business with her daughter Ava.
  
  It's a tough time for the wedding and food industry. Ava, her mother and her whole family navigate through these challenges with grace and skill.
  
  They make their culture and the Bay Area proud. It was an honor *for us* to have them represented at our wedding.

  Best wedding food ever!

  Ava and her team are seriously the best ever. I was a bit skeptical having a chinese banquet for our wedding but my fiance really wanted one. I am now SO GLAD we booked Ava for our wedding. From the beginning, Ava was super professional and super responsive to all our requests. But mostly importantly the food was amazing! Literally all of our guests thought our food was the best food they've had at any wedding. We were so happy that our guests were thrilled with the food and that was thanks to Ava. But also her bartending team was great as everyone loved the drink service as well. If you're looking for great food and great service, you absolutely need to go with Le's. Thank you Ava!

  Ava, along with her mom & team provided an experience for our guests that they will not forget. As many reviewers have mentioned, our guests are still raving about the food that was exceptionally tasty/delicious/mouth-watering/all other synonyms for these adjectives that you can think of. The highlight of the night? The whole menu! The item that was in a stratosphere in it's own? The seabass! Both were consensus answers among all our guests! My wife & I were lucky to have a planner pencil in time for us to eat to actually enjoy the food the night of! Service by Le's catering was excellent as well. What was also extraordinary was their ability to adjust to a technical kitchen issue and still whip up food with the exact same excellent quality. Everyone's bellies and palates were beyond satisfied! Le's Kitchen Catering was definitely one of the major reasons that our wedding was so memorable and fun for my wife & I along with our guests!
  
  Now going backwards, before the wedding we had met Ava & her mom, the head chef, for a food tasting. They are both very professional, very generous & provided a very comprehensive tasting (appetizers & majority of entree items). Leading up to the wedding, Ava was very professional, prompt with her email responses, accommodating and someone that our other vendors enjoyed working with. You definitely get amazing value for the food & quality of service for a very, very reasonable price. We highly recommend Le's Kitchen Catering services for your wedding--- or really, any event that needs food!!

You definitely get amazing value for the food & quality of service for a very, very reasonable price. We highly recommend Le's Kitchen Catering services for your wedding--- or really, any event that needs food!!

  I've had Ava's food 3x's in my life: Twice for my wife's 2 sisters wedding and once for my own wedding. My only regret is that I ate the food the day after the wedding, because newlyweds are not able to enjoy their meal during the wedding (you know what I mean?). Ava is an amazing caterer and business person. She is very well prepared and has a lot of experience as well as great ideas. We trusted her ideas and they turned out great (color schemes, utensils, bowls, etc). The food is to die for! All of my guests admired the food, service, and the seabass. Yes the seabass has its own category, because it is damn good. Seafood lovers will fall in love with the Chilean honey glazed seabass that has been marinated for 48 hours. This might be a spoiler but you will not be disappointed. Ava was really nice to my wife because Ava knows her family. Ava made sure we were fed and well taken care of. In general, the price is outstanding but it was worth every penny.

  We (My wife and I) would definitely recommend Le's Kitchen Catering to anyone. Ava and her staff truly made our wedding an extremely memorable night.
  
  Food is so often an after thought at a wedding, however, Le's provided an amazing 8 course dinner that had our guests raving about the food. Even after the wedding, our guests were still talking about how great the food was.
  
  Ava's commitment to us was very strong. We originally had another venue booked but plans fell through. Basically the event planner stood Ava up on an appointment and things got messed up. Ava supported us with our change and stuck with us without any issues. She is truly amazing and a really great person.
  
  On to the actual wedding. The table decor was spot on. Everything turned out beautiful from the plates, linens, menu placement, silverware, and the every detail that contributed to a beautiful table design. Once again, I have to mention the food was great. Service, was outstanding. Ava and her staff definitely made us feel like superstars. She would personally make sure we were doing well with appetizers, dinner and basically anything we needed. We couldn't have asked to work with a better caterer and staff.
  
  We would highly recommend Le's Kitchen Catering and would book them for any future event. Definitely top quality food, service and decorating for a very fair price.
  
  BTW, we had a party of 320 guests, and their team was able to pull off the night without any hiccups and all of our guests had great things to say. We can't say enough good things, but this review has to end. You won't be disappointed with Le's.

  Ava was really great to work with throughout the process - from tasting through wedding day. We received tons of positive feedback from our guests who loved the food we served. When we were selecting caterers, we immediately ended our search after tasting Le's Kitchen - to put it another way, their food surpasses anything you'd expect to be served at a wedding. If they had a brick & mortar restaurant I'd be there every week.
  
  Ava was also a total pro in making sure everything was running according to schedule. She and her team handled the bar service and rentals, and we really didn't have to worry about anything that day.
  
  I'd highly recommend Le's Kitchen for any couples looking for a turn-key solution, a caterer that not only serves delicious food with an Asian-ish flair at very reasonable prices, but also someone experienced with running multiple facets of the event. A+++

  Five stars all around! Ava was one of the vendors i knew i needed to book right when i got engaged. I had heard great things about her from the start. She was as important to me as the venue. She is a total sweetheart and actually cares about you, not just your money. She is super attentive and responsive to emails and will help you out with whatever else you need.
  Le's kitchen catering is a standout when it comes to catering. Most people are wary about asian fusion because a lot of places can't seem to do it right. We went for the three course meal for our wedding because after the tasting, we were blown away. My husband is usually very particular about his food and he could not stop talking about how good the food was after we left the tasting. Of course, we were very nervous about the wedding day because cooking for a wedding of almost 300 guests tends to come out differently than cooking for 2. However, everything came out excellent. Ava and her team arrived on time and served the food hot, which was really important to me. She even took time to come say hello during the wedding and packed us extra food to go. I can't find one negative thing to say about Le's kitchen catering. If you don't book them now, you will regret it. Choosing them was one of the best decisions i made about the wedding.

  We were so fortunate for all our amazing vendors that night, but my guests could not stop raving about catering. We actually did not meet with any other caterers or attend other tastings, but we knew from our initial meeting that not only would they provide great service, but they were all just great people. They are supporters of organizations that fight against hunger and proudly acknowledge that. Given that both me and my now husband work in fields serving those in need, we knew that they would be the perfect fit for not only our wedding, but for us. And for all that are in the process of planning their own, you must know how important it is to just have that personal connection with your vendors as it gives you that extra reassurance and comfort.
  
  We decided to go with the traditional eight course meal - and from the service to presentation to the actual food - SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, ANY OTHER WORD THAT WOULD EXPRESS MORE THAN THAT and beyond what we could have planned for. From the very start of my inquiry, Ava and her team were professional and on top of things.
  
  One of my bridesmaids commented that she wished she could get married again so she could book them. Some have even asked if they had a restaurant so they could enjoy their food again. Many had hoped to see Le's Kitchen Catering again at other weddings they attended. The feedback didn't stop after that night. We honestly got high compliments about their food and service regularly throughout the year, and I doubt they would ever stop.
  
  Every review you see here, we can absolutely confirm and vouch for. Ava and her team took so much detail into the execution of things as if our wedding was one of their own - looking over and taking charge on things that she didn't have to. Those details truly make the difference. Hands down - more than what we expected and if we had to do it all over again, it would be Le's Kitchen Catering. THANK YOU!

  The People : Ava and her team were excellent! They were professional, reliable, friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. Ava was helpful throughout the "wedding process" and her service and work were really what made my wedding fun and perfect in my rose-shaded eyes. :)
  
  The Food : My guests and I loved loved the wonderful food. Not a dry piece of chicken nor overcooked steak in sight. We had an eight-course Chinese-American banquet, family-style. There was soft-shell crab, lobster, filet mignon, Shitake mushrooms, prawns, garlic noodles, etc. The delicious glazed sea bass was the last thing people were commenting on as they were leaving our shindig.
  
  Summary : I would zealously recommend Le's Kitchen Catering to anyone who is in need of a caterer whether it be wedding, birthday gathering, work event, other.
  
  Last Note : They also provide a three-course option and several different appetizers.

  Perfect vendor for Hakone Gardens (Saratoga, CA): This is a difficult venue to work with as they have extremely strict rules regarding waste removal as well as a minimal kitchen. Ava has successfully handled multiple weddings at this location and works well with their staff. She also knows exactly what needs to be brought to the site in order to ensure quality food preparation. Ava was also able to give me helpful recommendations for the table layout. (Note: For venues without an extensive kitchen, be prepared to pay additional costs for equipment)
  
  Food Quality: One word, amazing. During our tasting session, the food was amazing. My then fiancée and I brought our parents and relatives. As we come from traditional Chinese families, there was very strong opposition to a non-Chinese restaurant wedding. However, all the parents and relatives were extremely satisfied and even excited for our wedding date to arrive. The quality of the food the day of the wedding was on par with that during the tasting. This is an impressive feat considering the chef was cooking for 150 people rather than 10. Our American friends also loved the food. Ava was able to accommodate my vegetarian guests and vendors. I think of Le's Kitchen as upscale Asian fusion food (like The Slanted Door located in San Francisco)
  
  Food Quantity: The quantity at the tasting session was more than that at the actual wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, many tables still had leftovers. Only one or two tables that had heavy eaters found the quantities to be a bit small.
  
  Food Service: My husband and I shared a sweetheart table. Ava personally plated our meals and served us. The service to our table was perfect. We also provided take out boxes and Ava’s staff packaged the leftovers. It would have been nice if Le’s Kitchen had provided the boxes. My bridal party also found it very easy to work with Ava and her staff. She alerted my BMs when the alcohol ran low. Some guests commented that the food service was a bit slow (~2 hours for 8 dishes). I felt slower service was a fair trade for high quality.
  
  Responsiveness: Ava responded to my many questions in clear emails. The email responses were a bit slower in the beginning (~8-10 months prior to the wedding) but were very fast towards the end (~0-2 month prior to the wedding). Ava was also very proactive and suggested a site walk through. I did not intend to do one, but found it very helpful when I did.
  
  Flexibility: I requested multiple tweaks to the menu such as swapping out one dish for another, substituting prawns in the fried rice for meat, adding bamboo to one of the veggie dishes, etc. All the changes were accommodated with no problem. I do wish there were more types of beverage packages or custom ones. I never got around to inquiring about a custom one, but Ava did give very good recommendations of where to go and how much to buy.
  
  Specific Dishes:
  Favorites: Lobster, Sea Bass, Filet Mignon, Salad with Soft Shelled Crab
  Moderate: Roasted Quail was a bit hard to eat because of the amount of bones so I would not recommend this substitute. It was especially hard for the bride and groom to eat in a refined manner!
  
  Ava also threw in a few perks into the final contract which were totally unexpected, but a lovely surprise. My husband and I have no regrets going with Le’s Kitchen for our wedding. If you are looking for an upscale Asian Food caterer in the South Bay, Le’s Kitchen is likely the best. (Some other good Asian food caterers only do business in San Francisco). I'd like to be realistic and state that Le's Kitchen is not cheap. However, the cost we spent on food was clearly felt by our guests, so we felt it all worthwhile.

  Le's Kitchen Catering was definitely a superstar wedding vendor. There are not enough words to convey just how happy we are with the job that Ava and her team did during our wedding on July 23, 2011. Le's Kitchen catering was one of the first vendors we booked, as we were just blown away during our tasting. We had to have them!
  
  We chose to do the three course seated meal menu. The food was amazing!!!!!!!!! Ava and her entire team were so on top of everything and professional. Almost everyone at the wedding was impressed with the food they had. We got a lot of "that was the best wedding food I've ever had!", "the appetizers were sooo good!", and "where did you guys find these guys, they are amazing!" The filet mignon was delicious and grilled perfectly. The sea bass just melted in your mouth. The vegetarians we had were also super happy with the vegetarian clay pot they had.
  
  We also hired two bartenders through Ava to work our open bar. The bartenders were great too - those guys handled all those chilled shots requests without breaking a sweat. Ava definitely runs a tight ship! It's clear that she leads by example - out there managing everything while staying calm and collected. Very impressive.
  
  Ava is also such a sweetheart and really great to work with. She was always available to answer any questions we might have, by email or phone call, and she was so knowledgeable and helpful in our discussions with her about all the other items we would need to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. G and I were planning our wedding from across the country, so Ava was also great about being available to meet in person any time we happened to be in town. Le's Kitchen Catering may be on the pricier side, but they are totally and completely worth it. Your guests will definitely be as impressed as ours were!!!!

  Wow! Ava and her Mom were heaven sent!
  
  Le's catered our wedding at Casa Real in lovely Livermore wine country. since we wanted to keep part of our wedding traditional we were so excited to hear that Le's was a preferred vendor of the casa real.

  Choose Le's catering you will not regret it!
  
  Thanks Again Ava!

  We are very passionate about our food, and really wanted to have fantastic Asian cuisine at our garden wedding. We were starting to lose hope until we found Le's Kitchen Catering.
  
  We had an eight course wedding banquet served outside. The quality of the food was outstanding. For example, the shaking beef was succulent and tender, and the sea bass was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of texture. Given how hard it is to ensure each course is ready for everyone simultaneously, the feat really was remarkable. For many of our guests, the food was one of the highlights of the wedding, and they still rave about it to this day.
  
  Ava and the chef were professional, very genuine, and clearly took great pride in their creations and quality of service. The were a delight to work with, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone.
  
  After we had decided on using Le's Kitchen, we hired a very experienced wedding planner. She had worked with many other caterers in the past, but had not worked with Le's Kitchen before. Even she was truly impressed with Le's Kitchen, and had nothing but praise when talking about them after our wedding.

  WOW, all 5-star reviews. Here is our version.
  
  LKC is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to work with and especially the infamous Ava mentioned in everyone's review. Ava indeed sets the bar for customer service. She is very professional, resourceful, responsive and most of all Ava's unconditional support was invaluable throughout our planning process. She gave us lots of info, advice, contacts and recommendations and to our surprise, we are so please with all of her referrals.
  
  LKC is very accommodating to our needs- they worked with us on customizing our 8-course menu; the excellent catering service, the amazing, high-quality, well-seasoned food representing our Vietnamese & Chinese cultures, even the individual vegetarian claypots for our vegetarian guests and the chrysanthemum/goji berry tea was a talk among others who didn't received them.
  
  LKC truly exemplifies "lagniappe", going the extra mile for our special day with the coordination and support provided to the venue- going out of their way to help set the tables, provide a last minute meal request, checking in with us throughout the evening, taking the time to meet our guests- this is far beyond our expectations from a vendor.
  
  We received countless compliments from our families and friends- many were flabbergasted that the food was cooked on premise, "HOT & TASTY!". Our guests are asking to have the dinner again and where can they get the food on a regular basis.
  
  We can't thank Ava and LKC enough for making our wedding celebration a success and the BEST DAY EVER! It is the most talked about party for the past couple months and for many years to come. We are their biggest supporters and can't wait to work with LKC again. We highly recommend LKC for your next event.

  I cannot say enough positive things about Le's Kitchen Catering. Ava, the owner, sets the bar when it comes to customer service. We hired Ava to cater our 100-person wedding at the Presidio in San Francisco. She provided outstanding service from the day we hired her one year out from our wedding date. She was highly responsive in my MANY questions to her (bless her heart). She also offered to meet with me in person in the months leading up to the wedding to discuss my questions/concerns in person.  Ava was also sensitive to my budget constraints and helped me find ways to trim on costs. However, I must say, she may actually be the nicest person I think I've ever met. Given the number of bridezillas she likely works with on a daily basis - I give her loads of credit for her patience, reasonableness, and organization. She also helped me organize all my rentals with a third-party vendor at no additional cost. Amazing. Finally, on the day after the wedding, she personally delivered the top tier of our wedding cake to us. Do I need to say more?
  
  Customer service aside, the food was also spectacular. Months after the wedding I am still hearing compliments on how great the food was. During planning, I was in search of a off-site, full service Vietnamese caterer. I was fortunate that the only one that happens to exist in the bay area also provided exceptional quality food. The hors d'ouerves were tasty and unique. We also chose the 6-item buffet which she typically allows guests to serve themselves (and to the guests pleasure, as much as they want).  Her crew was professional, efficient, and polite. While our bartenders were becoming overwhelmed with their duties, her staff seamlessly stepped in and helped out. The night ended with perfect organization. In the end, I was provided with so much more than initially expected. I would hire Le's Kitchen Catering again in a heartbeat :)

  Ava and Le's Kitchen Catering is easily my favorite wedding vendor!!
  
  These are the reasons why:
  
  1. Their Vietnamese cuisine is AUTHENTIC AND DELICIOUS with a contemporary flair. It is exactly what we were looking for. It's just like mom's home cook meal but presentable. I can't keep track of the numerous times our guests complimented how the filet mignon was perfectly seared or how amazed they were with the vegetarian claypot. And now, 3 months after the wedding, we are still receiving inquiries about how we managed to have such sumptuous food at the wedding. I am seriously jumping for JOY with each comment!
  
  2. Ava Tran, the manager, is a DOLL! She made the entire process a BREEZE! All I remember doing is contacting Ava, eating their food, and paying them. It really was that easy!! Questions and concerns were quickly addressed each and every time. It's was so quick, I seriously don't even remember any glitch. I showed Ava a picture of a dessert bar that I wanted to replicate with classic Vietnamese desserts, and voila!, I got it at the wedding. The incredible part is, they don't usually even do desserts and they did it for us. It is these little things that Ava does that made it so wonderful. I felt like she genuinely cared about us, our wedding and went above and beyond her call of duty. It's almost as if she's my sister, wishing the best for me on my big day. This truly made the difference!
  
  3. The staff working with Ava is phenomenal! They are all young, efficient, friendly and professional. The guests kept telling us how well they were treated by the staff and they don't remember a wedding with such great service! ;) Personally, for me, these comments were such a surprise because guests don't usually notice the waitstaff. So it spoke volumes for us!
  
  Ava and Le's Kitchen Catering is a MUST-HAVE caterer. They were completely worth the extra fee by going off the preferred vendor list. They completely ROCKED IT at our wedding! We LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!
  
  Seriously, give them a chance to rock yours!

  We received numerous compliments about the food at our wedding prepared by Le's Catering. The food was excellent and the table layout was very attractive. We chose Le?s because this was a day for my wife to be the show, and the choice of food needed to satisfy her Asian preferences and avoid her family's complaints (at least minimize her family's complaints). At the same time, I needed to make sure the food was meat and potatoes enough for mid-westerners. I did not want my guests asking, what is that? I even warned many of my guests that the food would be Asian, and served family style. I think we were successful in all respects, and guests universally liked the food. In fact, I heard the food is amazing many times. My wife received praise, and I know that pleased her greatly. One note about the family style: the food was not served on a lazy susan or put in the middle of the table or anything similar. The food was served dish by dish, and was classy even though not a plated dinner (which was our choice). By choosing family style, we were able to select seven or eight different dishes, which meant a lot of choices for our guests.
  
  Ava, Le's owner, is polished and professional and manages the event well. She did us a great service when she had her team help me 30 minutes before the ceremony to finish last-minute projects. She could see that we were scrambling to finish decorations before guests arrived. She was not obligated to help us, and she volunteered the help even though it was beyond her duties.
  
  The positives were excellent flavor and quality food and ingredients, good value, plenty of food for guests and professional service. One additional note is Ava did not charge us for the tasting because there were only two of us at the tasting. I thought this was a very nice gesture and we were sold on Ava after the first few dishes at the tasting.
  
  No event or person is perfect, so I will also note the few aspects we would change if we did it again. First, regarding food, my wife and I did not eat much at the reception, which meant we were hungry at the end and hoped there would be food to take with us. We assumed that there would be leftovers because we had approximately 12 guests that did not attend, and we are not sure what happened to their portions. As we said, the food was excellent and it would have been nice to enjoy throughout the week after the wedding to help keep the event in our minds. Second, our planning meeting was scheduled the week prior to our wedding, which did not leave much time to discuss options and choose rentals. We asked for a meeting the month before our wedding so that we would have time to consider options and make decisions, shop for the best price and avoid last minute stresses. We learned at our planning meeting that we were supposed to know our table layouts or, at the very least, have a strong opinion about the layouts. This may be the normal process with caterers and obvious to readers of this review, but this was our first (and, hopefully, only) wedding and we needed guidance. This meant we were scrambling the week before our wedding clipping pictures and evaluating table layouts. I will note that we were late to our planning meeting, so part of the scramble was our fault because we had to schedule a second planning meeting.
  
  I hope the review helps you choose Le?s Catering. You will be pleased.

  Ava and her team at Le's Kitchen were so wonderful to work with! They catered at our wedding in September for 120 guests. Having Vietnamese food at our wedding was important to my husband and me. It was very hard finding a Vietnamese catering service, let alone one which serves great tasting food and presented so elegantly as well. We hadn't heard very much about Le's at all and were reluctant at first, but we were sold immediately after the tasting and meeting Ava. Ava, who is the main spokesperson for Le's was such a pleasure to work with! She responds to her emails and gets back to you quickly and was very very helpful. Ava is so accommodating. Ava really tries to figure out what things are important for you and then finds someway to make it work for you on your special day. For example, we had a very stressful time figuring about plans for drinks services and the bar menu. The reception venue didn't even have a bar for set up. Ava helped brainstorm with us, helped us come up with signature drinks (which were a hit with our guests), and arranged for a wonderful bartender and a bar table. The food was a big hit with both the Asian and non-Asian guests. One friend said he was thinking of sneaking some of the sea bass home because it was so good.
  
  We think they deserve 6 stars, not just 5! Ava and Le's went above
  and beyond to make it a wonderful feast. Our guests really enjoyed
  the food and the service from Le's.
