YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Ventura, CA

I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

We had a blast working with Mel! She communicated perfectly and responded to our millions of questions within a few minutes. We expressed our concerns with our group having multiple food allergies and Mel was able to accommodate them all. We had espresso balsamic beef tenderloin, miso caramel scallops, garlic green beans, sesame noodles to die for - absolutely wow, vegan bbq seitan brisket, sautéed veggies, vegan and traditional charcuterie boards, strawberry goat cheese crostini, custom breads and cranberry brie in phyllo cups. All the food was amazing! The staff that was tending to us for the night were great. Our two bartenders were amazing. Loads of energy, great stories and really were life of the party.

The Falafel Factory

  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Ventura, CA

As a husband and wife duo, and with a shared background in our Egyptian culture, we wanted to create a food experience that highlights the best of this region's flavors, the Middle East, specifically Egypt using our families recipes. Everything on our menu is made in house, in small batches. You have the flexibility of customizing your own menu -- making sure your guests will rave about the food!

Exceptional Mediterranean Wedding Catering Experience! We hired The Falafel Factory for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the results! From the very first consultation, they made us feel confident that they understood our vision and dietary preferences. We love that they offer buffet style service but still bring their food truck so the food is constantly being replenished. Mediterranean-inspired menu was a huge hit with our guests, and we received so many compliments on the food & the display. Miriam truly goes out of her way with adding floral, and adding an elegant touch. We opted for a mix of appetizers, main courses, and desserts, and everything was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend them!

My husband and I cant recommend Thomas enough! When we started wedding planning , on our top 5 priority was food! We didn’t want your standard chicken, salmon or steak you often get at weddings. We wanted something that fit our personality. When we found Thomas we went to a pop up to sample and he took over an hour while he was working to engage with us , let us taste and quite frankly blew us away! Thomas and his team were very professional , had a nice classy set up and most of all the quality of the food was amazing! Anything you ate at my wedding was tasty. I’m so glad we went with Thomas it was unique and everyone loved it! We received so many compliments from our guests regarding cocktail hour apps to the dinner! There was plenty of food and everyone’s food came out hot, no long lines! If you are thinking of catering fire and wood for your event don’t think twice! You will not regret it!

It’s cooked with parboiled rice in a mixture of carefully selected peppers to give you that authentic taste of Nigerian Jollof. Looking forward to bringing our flavors to your next event!

Jolas Kitchen catered at our wedding on December 27th. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Jola, she was so communicative, and made excellent recommendations and suggestions, which was so helpful to me as a first time bride who had never planned such a large event before. We were absolutely blown away by the presentation, and the care and attentiveness of chef Jola and her team. I have never worked with such thoughtful and kind caterers, they really thought of everything and made the night such a wonderful and stress free experience for us. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything, from the Beef Suya (my personal favorite) to the Cole Slaw, to the Jollof and Meat Pies, and the Puff Puff. A lot of brides don’t eat much on their wedding day, but I cleaned my whole plate and even took some home with me. Highly recommend!
