YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Costa Mesa, 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.

Buddha Boy Tacos

  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

Welcome. Buddha Boy Tacos is a one-of-a-kind culinary establishment with a menu inspired by the idea of authentic and honest cooking. Starting in 2019, we developed a unique dining experience for all of our guests using fresh and sustainable ingredients—taking you on a culinary journey like no other. From classic recipes to new-age kitchen adventures, each dish reflects our passion for high-quality food presented in a simple yet pleasing manner.

Buddha Boy Tacos was our 2024 wedding caterer, and also our bartending and dessert service - yes, they are a triple threat!! And they completely blew us away! We heard about their catering service from a friend and tried their tacos at a local pop up. Immediately after meeting Alexis and Marcus—and trying the food—we knew we wanted them on our special day. They had the best energy and took a genuine interest in us and our vision for the wedding. From that point on, they worked closely with us to create a personalized menu that suited us and our guests. Alexis was so good at making the planning process as painless as possible by making recommendations, pitching ideas, and meeting us multiple times at the event site. We got to try our apps, main course, and even cocktail options prior to our event. Their presentation on our wedding day was just beautiful, the food was delicious, and our guests are still raving about the churros! The bartending service was equally impressive. The bartenders were fun, efficient, and crafted some of the best cocktails we've ever had at a wedding (we might be biased). It is clear that Buddha Boy Tacos takes great pride in their work and goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering for their event. Support this local South Bay small business and you will NOT regret it! THANK YOU, Alexis, Marcus, and the rest of the team, for making our wedding day unforgettable! :)

Off the Vine Dining Catering Company

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly a remarkable experience from start to finish, they operate with such excellence! We have been using Off the Vine Dining for a couple years now. They have done intimate events with us, and some of our larger company events with hundreds of people. Brian has always been extremely helpful curating menus with me, all of the menu offerings are so fantastic that I have always had a problem selecting items. He goes above and beyond with taking in account all of our dietary restrictions that some of our guests have, he has even customized and created some menu items for us. I was so touched at one of our events when Brian overheard one of our guests say they didn't do dairy, and was able to make some small adjustments so that the guest could still enjoy every dish. That's above and beyond! Brian and his team always do a beautiful, professional, and efficient job setting up, serving, and cleaning up. The decor is stunning, they have fresh flowers and everything is presented so wonderfully. They even left my kitchen cleaner then when they arrived, I told my husband lets host an event next time we need to clean our kitchen, hahaha!! The service is always amazing, the team is so cheerful and always smiling during the events. You could tell they really loved serving people, it was such a delight to experience. Most importantly, the food is delicious and I have always received wonderful feedback from our guests who enjoyed the culinary offerings very much. Thank you Brian and Off the Vine Dining team, all of you are so wonderful to work with. Brian, you can tell you love people, and love food, the BEST combination in a caterer. I HIGHLY recommend Off the Vine Dining and look forward to using them again for ALL future events.

Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector.
