n2 catering

I was nervous about hiring a caterer for a baby shower I was planning from out of town. All I had to go off of was Unilocal reviews. Thank you fellow Unilocalers for leading me to N2! Brian was very helpful planning a menu over e-​mail with me, for 40 people. I told him a budget and we came up with a menu. I like the Asian fusion style food – it’s very creative and fancier than your average catered lunch. We had unagi pizza, spicy cabbage chicken salad, bulgogi-​kimchi sushi rolls, honey garlic chicken wings, and chicken saltimbocca penne pasta. There was plenty of food and everyone commented on how tasty everything was! We picked up the food from their sister restaurant in San Gabriel, Hot Stuff Café.
I would def. use them again. Too bad I live in Fresno!

Simply heavenly.
That is all I can say about N2 catering from beginning to the end.
I picked N2catering for my wedding reception at Castle Green in Pasadena, it is a pretty upscale venue and we didnt want to go cheap on our food as we really wanted to make the wedding reception a memorable experience for our guests, and N2 catering led me to believe they could do the job right and to my expectation.
They exceeded my expectation by miles.
Chef Jimmy was very personable and accommodating, because he is a firm believer of catering business is about catering to the needs AND wishes of clients. My wife and I felt Jimmy captured what we discussed and took great deal of time to try to make it even better than we hoped for.
We came across many challenges and N2 Catering went out of its way to overcome those obstacles for us. Our guests could not stop compliment the food and services, and we are not surprised.
I wanted to make this review short and sweet, but I really think you should give them a try and you will have your own unforgettable memory. You want a good event, you can get any elite caterer in town to do it at a high price, if you want an exquisite event and smooth process, there is no one else but N2 Catering.
Thank you all!

Jimmy’s catering was absolutely delicious. I went to a friend’s wedding for about 100 people, and everybody was so impressed by the food. We had Taiwanese inspired dishes of pork belly and this amazing taro cake. Everybody kept commenting how great the cake was. What impressed me was that it was so unique, the food really set it apart from typically generic wedding food made for the masses. Each dish of his felt unique and special.

We used n2 Catering for a party for about 30 – 40 people at my parents’ home. They were very accommodating. It was a last minute party, and they were able to get it all together in less than a week.
Most importantly, the food was delicious! All of our guests raved about it. We decided to go with heavy hors d’oeuvres as dinner, rather than a traditional buffet. We had mini crab cakes, BBQ rib-​eye beef and kimchi sushi rolls, grilled black pepper patti-​melts, Thai style fillet beef tartare with curry flavor cones, Greek crispy pizza, and baby-​back ribs. Yum!
We chose to have chef Jimmy come and replenish the food as needed. Because he was there to do the food prep and replenish, the food was fresh and warm, which was definitely worth it. And plus, Jimmy really is the nicest guy. He’s one of those people that you can tell just by looking at him that he’s a nice guy.
We thought the prices were reasonable, especially compared to other catering companies in the area. We would definitely use them again and recommend them highly. If you’re looking for a caterer with interesting food at reasonable prices, you should check them out!

We hosted a graduation cocktail party for my daughter at our home on sunday. I had catering service before for a dinner party. This time we wanted someone that serve lite and fun hors d’oeuvres to go with cocktail drinks (we hired a bartender as well). I turned to
for help and found N2 catering who is by my area. There were only 6 reviews but all 5 stars. I spoke with Jimmy the chef and was quite happy with his presentation and proposed menu which was reasonably priced. Jimmy and his assistant used our kitchen for lite food preparation. They were very careful and have all counter spaces covered up before they started work. The serving displace was nice and clean. The food was excellent. On our menu we have mini crab cakes, honey-​galic chicken wings, BBQ rib-​eye kimchi sushi cut roll, chicken salad on mini baguettes, potato smoke salmon mousse and maui onion cheese tarts. Everything was very delicious but I have to say the mini crab cakes were the big hit. My guests had a great time. I would highly recommend N2 for your next catering needs.

i just had a birthday party for a very good friend of mine on Mar 26, 11. i thought i wanted to impress my friend with a surprised party and catering food from a chef. chef jimmy was highly recommended by one of the guests. Prior to the party he impressed me with a menu of his own creation. however when the time came, i was so disappointed with the reality. the food turned out to be so mediocre. not only i was disappointed but most of my guests also complained about it. there were only 6 food items instead of 7 as he promised. on top of that, he charged me almost $ 40 per guest for all mediocre finger food. all i can say is that i can not recommend chef jimmy to any one. i feel almost like a rip off.

Jimmy and N2 catered for my wedding, and all of our guests were astounded at how good the food was. Even though we rocked out buffet style, Chef Jimmy himself personally delivered our food to our table. We didn’t have adequate lighting over the buffet line, but Jimmy and his crew made it work. Working with him was a pleasure. He is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
The menu set itself apart from other caterers right away. Lobster tacos, bulgogi baby back ribs, chocolate cone with peanut butter mousse. It was all fantastic.
At the end of the night, he packed up the leftovers to take home. They were some of the best leftovers I have ever had.
While planning for the event he invited us to his restaurant to sample his menu. Which is probably part of his secret plan. You know you can swing a client your way as long as your delicious food is inside their bellies. And of course after that tasting session he became our number 1 choice.
I’ve heard he was a hit at Unilocal parties as well. Do yourself a favor and get Jimmy to cater your event. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much for providing Unilocalers with your delicious food! We had a blast and it was all thanks to your delicious small bites! Your staff was very friendly and helpful the entire night.

As a guest at an event catered by n2 catering, I strongly encourage all you Unilocalers out there to check out Chef Jimmy and n2 catering. I’ll try to cover areas that I would want to know about if I were thinking about hiring them:
Presentation: this was outstanding. Call me childlike, but I was enchanted by the way the food was presented. The names of the dishes were clever and cool, and they were presented in a way that was both beautiful and fun, which made the food even more enjoyable to eat.
Taste: SUPER YUMMY. I am a notoriously picky eater, and I loved the food presented by n2. Everything was so delicious. I can’t say enough about it.
Staff: again, they were fantastic. Servers were both warm and impeccable in their manners and work ethic. As a guest, I felt really special as someone would seem to appear immediately if I misplaced a fork or a plate. An added bonus is that they were cute, and that it felt intimate and family-​like without compromising professionalism and class.
Cost: I don’t know about the cost, as I was a guest at an event catered by n2 Catering. Perhaps one of the Unilocalers who has hired them could speak to this?

highly highly highly recommend n2 catering! The tasting menu Chef Jimmy prepared for us was creative and well thought out, not to mention delicious. Our guests were all very pleased, and a few days later we even met friends of friends who told us they had heard about our party and wished they had met us sooner so they could have had all the yummy food.
can’t wait to have another party so we can have Chef Jimmy cater it again.
