We loved having Steve and CC cater my sister's baby shower! They did such an amazing job and the food was absolutely delicious! They were very kind and helpful and all of our guests were raving about their service and food! The desserts were spectacular as well and their setup was super cute! Steve was very helpful and super easy to communicate with about everything before and during the event. We loved having them and would strongly recommend them to anyone for their event! Thank you guys so much for helping make my sister's baby shower so wonderful!

They catered our home party tonight. It was so good everyone loved it and the tables were pretty. They worked so hard to make such a great meal. We ordered the appetizers, dinner and dessert and they were all spot on.

In this post COVID era, it's hard to make celebrations and milestones work, but Steve at Hawaiian Luau made it happen for us! My daughter's Drive By 1st Birthday Celebration was a success!I booked them for my daughter's 1st birthday. Because of COVID, I wanted the food in separate containers and individually wrapped to make sure it's safe and clean and easy to take home. And what Steve came up with was perfect!He had a half tray sized foil pan with food enough for about two people. It contained the following: The kalua pork, Hawaiian style basmati rice, veggies and teriyaki chicken in the four corners of the pan. The green salad in a Ziplock bag, in the center. The salad dressing (which was so good), in a sealed plastic, under the salad.The bread and butter in another Ziplock. The whole thing was wrapped in plastic. He gave me instructions on how to re-heat which I put on a sticker. There was also a vegetarian tray option too!The food was OUTSTANDING! Every single thing in that tray was delicious. There was a good amount of food in each one. I kept getting text messages from my guests that night and even the next day saying they loved the food so much. I tried a tray the next day and the food was still fresh. I regret not keeping more trays for myself. With the delicious food, came outstanding service as well. Steve was responsive to my questions and delivered the food on time. He is also the nicest guy. He was gracious enough to accommodate my event, especially since it was originally supposed to be months ago for a baby shower which got cancelled because the doctor put me on bed rest. My family loved the food and loved working with Steve. It's a shame I couldn't experience the full catering service, but he hit this one out of the park. Have him do your next socially distanced event, you won't regret it! Looking forward to more events with Hawaiian Luau OC! Thank you, Steve and team :)

Steven helped us with a 50th birthday for my wife. He was very nice to deal with in answering all of my questions. He communicated expectations clearly and billed exactly what we agreed to. The service on the day of the event was great, with the staff friendly and accommodating, going beyond the letter of the contract to make sure the guest experience was perfect. The food was great and the whole pig was a show piece for sure. Some folks at the party even asked if the caterers were our friends from before because it went so well. Thanks to Hawaiian Luau for making this party a great success.

Steve and his team of servers were absolutely amazing the day of our wedding! My husband and I had a tropical-inspired wedding, and Steve's food was perfect! We served Shrimp Wontons, Crab Cakes, and Vegetarian Spring Rolls as passed appetizers and had a buffet dinner (Kalua Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, Chickpea Curry (for vegetarians and vegans) Hawaiian Basmati Rice, Carrots and Zucchini, Macaroni Salad, Fruit Kabobs, Sesame-Ginger Salad, and Hawaiian Sweet Rolls with Mango Butter). We also opted for a drink station (with water, iced tea, and coffee).The food was SO GOOD! So many people complimented us on the choice of food and tons of people went back for seconds. We actually paid for food for ~10 extra guests because we have a lot of big eaters, and we're glad we made that decision! The chickpea curry was so good and the chicken was the most moist chicken I've ever had at a catered event. Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful!My wife and I were thrilled by the work Steve and his crew did for our wedding. We cannot say enough about the great service, food quality and friendly staff.Some specifics:1. Steve actually took the time to drive across the county with samples for us--without any reservation or down payment. That above-and-beyond friendliness told us we were in good hands.2. As plans for our wedding changed (which they all do), Steve quickly adapted and gave us deals no other caterer could match. He even supplied us with a licensed bartender.3. On the day of the wedding, Steve and his team set up the whole buffet, ran the hors d'oeuvres to our guests, bused tables, and even cleaned out the entire kitchen. By the time we had to leave, every surface sparkled.4. Our guests ate everything--and I mean EVERYTHING. We didn't have a single scrap left over. Afterwards, people kept asking us where they could get more of that delicious kalua pork. They licked their plates clean.5. Bonus: when it came time to carve our wedding cake, Steve volunteered to "chainsaw" through it, serving up slices to roughly 150 guests in maybe ten minutes. They went past all of our expectations and made our special day something to remember.

Steve was fabulous to work with! He catered our wedding and everything went off without a hitch. I should add that we live in Las Vegas and we were bringing the event to friends and family in California! He was so easy to work with. The food was amazing. Everyone at the reception was raving about it! There was plenty of it and left overs to boot. They served the cake as a bonus. I cannot say enough good things about them. I would definitely use them again and recommend them without hesitation!

Steven Kalous is a wonderful caterer, honest and kind. He prepared our Hawaiian buffet for our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party for 190 people. He is reasonably priced and the food is delicious, fantastic, plentiful and served at proper temperatures,. His servers are caring and very competent. All of our guests told us how good the food was at our party! We had the Kalua shredded pork, teriyaki chicken, lightly seasoned rice, fresh veggies, fresh field greens with house made dressing, fresh fruit kabobs, rolls with mango butter and macaroni salad. There was a veggie option of chick pea curry . The kitchen was left clean and the leftover food was wrapped and properly refrigerated. Steven was a joy to work with and stayed in good communication with us throughout the whole process . From the beginning tasting lunch , to the lend of the party, everything went so well.

Steve and his professional staff set up beautiful buffet with a whole piglet for our son's wedding reception. What a pleasure to work with him, tasting at our house to go through different options, etc. Everyone commented how much they enjoyed the buffet (much better than regular wedding food). We chose to bring paradise cake from King's Hawaiian bakery and they cut the cake and served for us. He really reduced my stress of hosting 110 people party. Thank you so much for bringing Hawaii to us and making our party successful!
