Plates + Bowls Catering

Gensler Newport Beach has used Plates and Bowls pre-Covid and now that a lot of office gathering and events are back post Covid we are happy to use them again. Their food is always delicious and presentation is above par. They have a fun menu and great variety that accommodates everyone's taste buds. Kristen is so pleasing to work with and all their staff are great in communication. I highly recommend it!

The food assortment from Plates and Bowls never disappoints and tastes amazing. The prices are on par for the area. And most importantly the people over at Plates and Bowls are always very friendly and a joy to work with. They make sure you don't need to worry about anything when it comes to catering.

Seriously, the best catering I've ever ordered. Generous portions and the most delicious bread I've ever tried. I'd highly recommend this company and the skewers were to die for. We held a meeting at Hana Haus and it all went smoothly. Team had so many compliments about the food. Excellent value for my needs and frankly food was better than nearby restaurants.

Plates and Bowls is one of the best catering options here in OC! Kristen and the team over there are very communicative (a must when handling the stress of organizing any events for a busy PE firm) and the product they deliver is exceptional! They have many healthy options and there is always something new to try. Also important to note is the presentation of your food after delivery. You want to impress your guests with a nice spread and Plates and Bowls definitely hits it out of the park!! If you're tired of the same sandwich, pastry, salad, or taco bar for your work events I highly recommend you give Plates and Bowls a try!

My office is OBSESSED with Plates and Bowls Catering! The food is amazing. The falafel are among the best I've ever had-not at all dry and so tasty. We all fawn over the gorgeous crudite platters. It's a feast for your eyes for sure. Beyond the amazing food, the service is top notch. Great communication from Kristen, and super thoughtful after-service follow through. We order a lot of lunches at my office, and Plates and Bowls is a frequent request. Love the song title names of their lunch spreads, too.

We have used Plates & Bowls for several internal meetings and training in Orange County. LOVE their options for monthly specials! Kristen is always a pleasure to work with and the food is always delicious and on point. Plates & Bowls is our go to choice when we have meetings in the OC area. Lila H.

We use this catering service for all of our work events and parties! Best food, amazing prices and large portions! We will continue to use them moving forward! Xoxo Mouse graphics team!

We love Plates and Bowls! We have them cater our events, at least once a month (typically 60-80 attendees). They are reliable, on time and everyone loves the food. They offer a variety of different options and meet all necessary diet restrictions...not to mention the great price point! Kristen is always willing to work with us if we need a custom item. From my experience, they are one of the best around with affordable prices! You won't be disappointed.

We had our Baby Shower brunch on Sept. 7, 2024. The food was good and the portion was generous. Would definitely use P+B again but do want to share what we were disappointed about. We were told that the catering service would provide "plenty" of disposable plates, utensils, napkins, take-home boxes, and small plates for cake (although cake was done by a separate baker). No take-home boxes or small plates were provided. The napkins were cocktail-sized napkins only, there were barely enough plates, and we ran out of forks. And we were frugal by not changing our plates when going for second helping. We ended up having to run to Target to get more supplies.

Kristen and my peeps at Plates+Bowls ALWAYS do a phenomenal job for our events. On time, professional, beautifully presented and delicious. Everything you want in catering. Thanks, again, Plates+Bowls, we'll see you again VERY soon!!!
