Island Fusion Catering

I cannot say enough about how happy we are that we went with Jonas and his team at Island Fusion Catering. We did a tasting at Jonas' beautiful house. He made so much that we took home 3 containers of food! Jonas totally understands what it is like to have a Filipino mom who equates how good a party is with how good the food is! I talked to him about what my mom was hoping for and he totally delivered! We picked these items: For pupus: crab cakes, tomato caprese skewers, coconut shrimp w/mango salsa, and mini ahi poke bowls. For food, we went with the chicken karaage station + Mac nut salad + white rice & furukake; Chinese style roast pig + steamed bao bun + fresh herbs and sauces; citrus misoyaki butterfish + baby bok choy + purple mash potatoes; and garlic herb prime rib + sweet country corn succotash + toasted coconut jasmine rice w/golden currants. Everything was so omg delicious, and our fam/friends could not stop talking about the food! Additionally, we are so happy we went with food stations rather than a buffet. With the stations, we got our guests up and out of their chairs, walking around and mingling w/each other. Jonas plated each dish beautifully. At the end of the wedding night, Jonas let my family pack up all the extra food to take home, something that I now understand most caterers don't do. Jonas was also very generous w/portions and included a free meal for most of my main vendors. He also does the cake cutting/plating for free. I 110% recommend Jonas if you want amazing food that everyone will always compare other weddings to ;)

Island Fusion catered our wedding reception, and everything was absolutely amazing. Jonas worked with myself and our wedding planner to design a delicious customized menu. On the big day, everything was spectacular - my family was raving about the food. And the price was incredibly reasonable to boot.We loved everything he served, but my parents are still talking about the roasted grape tomato bruschetta and the lemongrass crusted scallops!

Island Fusion Catering was amazing to work with. Jonas came up with an incredible menu and then offered to also compose my dream brownie tower (in lieu of a traditional cake). We wanted accessible island flavors for our mainland guests coupled with local favorites and the incredible Island Fusion Catering team was able to deliver on all accounts. I figured that food produced in such bulk would inevitably suffer in flavor, but that wasn't the case at all. Til this day, guests continue to rave about our taco food station, appetizers, pupus and ice cream sundae bar. In addition to sheer taste, everything was delivered beautifully. I couldn't more highly recommend Jonas and his fabulous team. What's amazing is that we chose Island Fusion Catering because it was one of the most reasonable caterers we can find in terms of price. Such is proof that expensive doesn't always mean better: We can't imagine there exists better service or more delicious food out there. Thank you Jonas and Island Fusion team!!!

Jonas is the man! He came highly recommended from my wedding planner, Diana. We were unable to try his food before the wedding way, so we weighed a lot into her opinion. I told her what kind of food I wanted and together, Jonas and her, hit the nail on the head. My guests still rave about his food! The kalua pig was TO DIE FOR! The best I have ever had! We also had him make pineapple upside down cakes for favors that were out of this world! I didn't meet him until the day of my wedding. I was coming out of the bridal suite and a gentleman was out back over a hot fire grilling. Diana said- Oh Alli, this is Jonas! That's right the owner was out bank grilling my meats and making sure my food was superb. This means a lot to me, as sometimes, owners are more supervisors than chefs. No sir. Jonas was there at serving time, cutting the meat, etc. He really prides himself on the quality of food and service as he was so nice! Love the aloha spirit! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. YOU WILL BE FLOORED. HIS FOOD IS AMAZING!

My husband and I are from Switzerland and we got married in May 2018 on Oahu. Our closest family members came with us to celebrate our wedding day and we decided not to go to a restaurant but to stay and have dinner at our rental home. So I was browsing through the internet looking for an affordable catering service which is specialised on Hawaiian food and I found Island Fusion Catering. I contacted Jonas and booked his private chef service for a party of 9 adults and 2 kids although we couldn't try the food beforehand but I was hoping everything came out well. And we weren't disappointed! The food was soooo delicious and everyone enjoyed it! Especially the Huli Huli chicken was amazing! Now 2 months later we still think of the food and that's why I decided to write this review. We highly recommend Island Fusion Catering and would book his chef service again. Jonas and his co-worker did an awesome job for creating an incredible menue and making our wedding absolutely perfect! Mahalo!!

Amazing experience from start to finish. Chef worked with our budget crafting the most delicious menu for our wedding. Multiple people told me it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. I want to have another event just so I can use Island Fusion again!!

Island fusion catered my wedding and it was the best food I had during my entire stay in Hawaii. It was extremely kind that Jonas himself came over to introduce himself during the night. The filet mignon and sweet purple mashed potatoes were phenomenal. The coconut rice and seafood stuffed mahi mahi was to die for. All our guests were amazed by the taste of our appetizers, the pig roast and the display of the entrees. The staff during the wedding were great with checking up with my husband and me to make sure we were okay on food and water. It was much appreciated!

I was given this referral from a reputable source on Island. I contacted them to schedule an in home special 50th birthday dinner and entertainment. I was thrilled with the quick response and menu. I had a couple of questions to get answers and was told they would respond right away, but I verbally confirmed the date and menu items agreed to. I did not hear back after 2 days and I called and texted 6-8 messages to confirm the event. I have been completely Ghosted! The event did not happen and now even a week later I have not had any communication! I am saddened and completely disappointed!

From our tasting with my parents to the wedding reception, Chef Jonas and his team did a wonderful job providing food that was absolutely DELICIOUS at our pandemic wedding. We really appreciated that they were very flexible as we needed to adjust head counts at the last minute due to changes in gathering limits. Although we only had 30 people at our wedding, between vegan guests and picky eaters in our family, designing a menu that everyone would love was a real challenge. Chef Jonas worked with us to make sure that we had something for everyone from the appetizers to dessert, without breaking the bank or going overboard with too many dishes. We loved working with Island Fusion Catering and highly recommend them for anyone looking to cater a wedding or other celebration!

I cannot say enough good things about Chefs Scott MacMillan and Jonas Joven. They are so creative with food and you can tell they love what they are doing. Whatever type of menu, whatever the event- you should definitely check out Island Fusion!!
