Greenfish Catering

Food quality: 10/10Responsiveness: 10/10Pricing: 10/10Day of Service/Care: 11/10I have nothing negative to say. We had a handroll bar and a sushi roll station for cocktail hour at our wedding. They came in a timely manner and also even set aside rolls for the bride and groom to enjoy before it went away! Everyone absolutely LOVED their food. We even had a tasting beforehand to affirm the quality of their food. The chefs were amazing and so so kind. We love it when kind and professional people work a wedding! Thanks Greenfish Catering and thank you Mina for taking care of all the comms prior to the wedding!

I ordered catering to be dropped off for my husband's surprise 40th birthday. Not only was the spread beautiful, but every item was delicious! I received multiple compliments and inquires about the food. We will definitely order from Mina again when we have a catering need in the future.

Note that we did not move forward with Greenfish as our caterer but just wanted to provide insight on the process that we went through.We initially sent out an e-mail to inquire availability for our wedding date and sample options and pricing. Greenfish responded about a week later which makes sense to me as I expect that most caterers are busy working to prepare for their current week's events. They asked us general questions regarding date, venue, guest count, buffet style or plated service, rental service, bar service, and budget and also provided a date to come for a food tasting. They were very responsive and were able to answer our questions and concerns. We were unable to make the initial tasting date so we had rescheduled and it was not an issue. We went through a few rounds of calls and menu proposals throughout the process.On the day of the tasting, we were able to sample a few salad options, a few appetizers, and a few of their popular entree items. They are proud of their sushi offering and I can see why but for our audience, we deemed that sushi was not the cuisine that we were looking to serve for our majority Chinese guests. Overall the food was tasty and the team at Greenfish is very responsive and helpful. Mina was the main person of contact and if we were to move forward, we had no doubt that we would be in great hands. As Greenfish was the first caterer that we had tried, they set a great baseline on the standard of quality and a reasonable price point that we were looking for. Our favorite highlight from here was the stack salad.

I highly recommend Greenfish Catering for catering your big event! We used them to cater our wedding reception at the Los Altos History Museum this past October 2021.Background on our wedding: my husband and I got married in a civil ceremony in October 2019. We wanted to have our bigger reception with family and friends in October 2020. Then the pandemic happened and around August 2021 we decided we needed to postpone our bigger celebration to the following year to October 2021.Mina, the catering coordinator, was great in working with us to reschedule our event. No additional fees were required except to account for new 2021 pricing which was fair to us. Greenfish is one of LAHM's approved caterers and they've worked at LAHM many times. She helped coordinate a site visit to the museum to work on our floor plan and set up the rentals with a partner rental company. I trusted Mina's judgment on which items needed to be rented and which things we could use from the museum in order to save some money (we ended up only renting the sweetheart table, cross back chairs for bride and groom, linens, and the plates/silverware. All other furniture came from the museum). Mina was great at suggesting which linens to rent, such as cream linens vs. white because white may be too harsh in photographs. I also trusted her and my event coordinator JL Events, who also worked events at LAHM before, to set up the floor plan and decide where the dinner and cocktail tables should go. She also worked with Chef Eric to customize the menu for us, such as including sushi rolls in our cocktail hour as appetizers and adjusting some dishes to account for allergies and dietary restrictions (we had some vegetarians and a diabetic on our guest list). Before the pandemic, we were lucky enough to already have a tasting set up in February 2020. We asked LAHM's coordinator on any recommendations for a caterer that did Asian fusion food and he enthusiastically recommended Greenfish. At the tasting we loved all the seafood dishes, from the sushi rolls to the baked salmon! As we left we knew we wanted to book Greenfish. After our reception ended, all our guests raved about the food and how much they loved it! Everyone loved the unique dishes and how good everything tasted. Some standout dishes were the sushi rolls, japchae, and Thai basil chicken and tofu. Mina's team thoughtfully packed up all the leftovers for us to take home after the reception (I still have some Thai basil chicken in our freezer to eat!).We were so happy to have Greenfish cater our reception and hope to work with them again for future events!

* This review is purely based on their service.I was really excited to work with Greenfish Catering for my baby's first birthday celebration as they have been recommended by other moms in the area. I reached out to them through their website 1 month before the event date, and worked with Mina to finalize the menu and pay the deposit. On the day of the event (a weekday), Greenfish Catering was supposed to deliver food by 11:30am for my guests to enjoy. I hadn't heard from them since I made the deposit two weeks prior to confirm the payment (after I emailed them), so I was already getting a little weary that something might have happened. And yep, I was right. No food arrived. Around 11:40am, I called Mina to check on the food - she told me, in a very apologetic manner, that she mixed up our dates and accidentally marked the chef's calendar wrong. No food was received from Greenfish Catering for my baby's first birthday party.On that night, Mina emailed me apologizing again and letting me know that she's never made this type of mistake before. She refunded me back the deposit I made and also gave me a $500 credit that I could use in the future so they ca. "gain my trust back". At the end of the day even though it was stressful and hectic, I scrambled to feed our guests at the birthday party and we all had a good time. I appreciated Mina's gesture and asked her if could use the $500 credit for Thanksgiving. It's been three weeks since my reply to Mina asking whether the credit could be applied on Thanksgiving or not. I had not heard back from her or any other associates from Greenfish Catering, and I even followed up earlier this week. Honestly, I was fine with them emailing me the night of the event after messing up my party to apologize and let me know they gave me a refund. The $500 credit was an added bonus that they did not have to give me, but I was looking forward to taking up on this offer to give them a second chance. The biggest problem I have with them is - why say / offer something if they can't' follow through? This is not how you gain my / other customer's trust back. I hope this is an isolated incident and doesn't happen to any other customers. I am extremely disappointed in their service.

Professionalism 5/5Food Quality 5/5Service 5/5Responsiveness 4/5Value 5/5Flexibility 5/5Greenfish Catering was a preferred vendor of our wedding venue, Hakone Gardens, and it is understandable why. When my husband and I attended the menu tasting, it was initially for the buffet-style menu. But upon request from the mother-of-the-bride, we blindly opted for the plated menu with total trust that it would turn out fine based on our tastebuds. Greenfish did not disappoint with the food quality and service. Our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour of passed hors d'oeuvres: caprese skewers, vegetarian Japanese dumplings, Mediterranean chicken kebabs, and beef-stuffed mushrooms. To accompany this, we opted for their sushi bar which provided an array of fresh and flavorful sushi rolls and nigiri. There were overwhelming comments from our guests about the quality of sushi, which echoed the same opinions my husband and I had during the menu tasting. The entire sushi bar was wiped clean by the end of the night (something I personally recommend splurging on)! Our guests were served a 1st course meal of roasted beet arugula salad paired with bread and butter. Their main entrée was a choice among grilled eggplant, filet mignon or steamed sea bass. My husband and I ordered the steak and fish to share, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The sea bass was moist, the meat buttery and flaky on the fork; the filet mignon a medium rare inside while soft, well-seasoned and tender! The servers, of which there were many since it was a plated dinner, were also noted to be very friendly and accommodating. I notice this myself with my interactions with them, but also our guests made it a point to communicate this to us. At one point in the evening, my father expressed that he was cold, and the staff promptly wheeled in an outdoor heater that I had rented to warm him up!During the wedding planning process, the event manager, Jean Martinez, corresponded with me closely by email, phonecall and text. I do notice that GreenFish is especially in demand, and the staff can be bum-rushed. Sometimes I would have to email Jean a second time to prompt her response because I believe she is so busy managing multiple events, and remind her of some key changes in our plans that were previously discussed. This certainly does not detract from the quality of their service, however, as Jean solidified everything with me multiple times before the big day.Because Jean was my greatest contact within the catering company, I have to put her on blast. When touring the venue with her, she gave invaluable recommendations on set-up for a wedding in this space. We went to the rental warehouse together, and she staged the reception guest table with the inventory they had available. Jean was the one who prompted me for all the key rentals down to the style of eating utensils and plates, and even the amount and type of linens needed for the event. I didn't need to think too much, but any ideas I had, Jean would entertain while providing novel insight. Some unique things Jean did for me that I appreciate for our wedding was renting out a half-round sweetheart table, securing the outdoor patio heaters (it was an outdoor event), suggesting the square-shaped modern plates, and supplying high-low cylindrical vases which I used as centerpiece decorations with floating candles. Even though Jean has a lot on her plate, she always brought positivity to our interactions, exuding a maternal warmth that made me feel like I could place my trust in her for this hefty task. I never felt like I had to worry during the entire planning process. Thanks so much, Jean, for all the positive energy you brought to our planning process. You made things easy for us! The staff were amazing, professional and friendly! And thank you to the chef who expertly provided such wonderfully delicious food that everyone enjoyed!If you're planning a wedding, I strongly recommend GreenFish Catering!

They are amazing! Their sushi was delicious and presentable! We had an after wedding party, and didn't want to pick up food, so we did delivery catering. Mina is super helpful and great at communicating with me. I was scared at first since I never tried their sushi but I'm sooo glad I trusted my gut and reached out. Everyone loved it! I wish I took pictures but it was soo good, sushi was gone before the camera came out. We ordered the special rolls, 3 large trays! Definitely trust them and have them cater your party!

We chose Greenfish as the caterer for our wedding at Hakone Garden in May. Jean, our coordinator, did such a great job helping us pick out our linens, silverware and went above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. She made the whole process so easy and seamless and helped walk us through everything. The food, especially the sushi station, was so amazing our guests loved it!!

Greenfish Catering did an amazing job at my wedding reception. Due to covid, my husband and I had to cancel our original plans for our wedding and decided to do a small wedding reception in our backyard.The food was delicious and the hospitality was just excellent. Chef Eric truly listened and went above and beyond and provided excellent quality food.Hosting a party or a reception that big was all new to me and Jean and Mina did an amazing job at helping me with everything. They guided me through the whole process and I am forever grateful for them because that night was a night to remember.I definitely will be using Greenfish Catering in the future.

Wow... where do I start...The Greenfish Catering team, specifically Jean & Mina, were absolutely fantastic in walking us through the catering process for our wedding @ Hakone Estate & Gardens. They were very responsive & knowledgable on the necessities for our catering needs. Actually, all of the staff were professional & kind. Greenfish Catering is one of the preferred vendors for the Hakone venue & now I see why. They know how to set-up everything in a pinch to the point we did not have to worry too much about the set-up. My spouse & I were too busy taking photos lol, but we trusted them with the set-up & they exceeded our expectations. They asked all of the important questions before our reception date, ones where I did not foresee. You can't go wrong with choosing Greenfish for your catering needs. Not only that, but the food we had for the wedding was super DELICIOUS! This was our menu:Meals:* Caesar Salad* Filet Mignon* Pan-Seared Sea Bass (miso beurre blanc)* Thai Red Chicken Curry* Roasted Veggies* Japchae* Garlic Fried RiceDesserts:* Tiramisu* Mini cheesecake* Fruit tartsI am so so SO happy many of our family members & friends enjoyed the food so much!!!!!!Thank you very much Greenfish!!! If anyone has a need for catering, I can strongly recommend Greenfish... In fact, if I ever have catering needs in the foreseeable future, I'd have to go with Greenfish again!
