Palace Catering

It’s the go-​to place for catering Korean food. I’ve been to two weddings in the family catered by these guys and it’s been high quality and good service.

Mr. Lee was fantastic in helping my parents organize the dinner for their 70^th birthday party in Corona, CA this past December. Everything was perfect and the food was not only presented beautifully but was also delicious! They do it all from table setup and decorating to serving and clean up at the end of the night. The host from Palace Catering that evening, Mr. Kim, was excellent and we cannot say enough good things about him. He was friendly, efficient, and did a terrific job. Even providing packed leftovers for our guests. I would highly recommend Palace Catering for any event small or big. We had a party of 30 and we plan to use them again in the future!

Best place ever to order catering in Korea town
I had really small wedding and my budget was short too, but Mr Chris help me to make my dream come true with wonderful service and care!!!
All my guest was happy for the food and no complaints at all ~^^
Thank you Palace Catering for your care and kindness you
I will definitely comeback for my baby’s birthday party~^^

First of all, Chis the owner was very helpful he seems like the kind of person who cares about great customer service. And as we didnt have a huge budget he was so understanding and worked with us to give us the best service he could offer. The food was delicious and very professionally made the cake was one of the best i had tasted. The server that came to set up was very helpful respectful he did a great job in our wedding. So overall i give them 5 stars and I really recommend this catering company for your wedding or any type of occasion.

So good! In every way!
Price, taste, portions were all far better than expected. We had a small Christmas get-​together and it was all delivered straight to the park that we were meeting at.
Highly recommend!

Yesterday we celebrated our daughters wedding with 300 guests in Brea and had Palace Catering as our caterer. They were exceptionally great with their service from the start, but went above and beyond on the actual day! Everyone commented on how good the food tasted and were asking who the caterer was. Their manager Bryan was amazing and he even visited our venue a couple of weeks before the wedding just so he would know what and where and all the details. We are so grateful that we went with such an amazing company!!!

Recently attended a wedding with Palace Catering food and it was superb! The short ribs and bulgogi were divine and I couldn’t help but devour an ungodly portion. There was a near limitless supply of banchan and the service was great. Will definitely keep these guys in the books for when I throw a party!

Overall, I was disappointed. I have catered from Palace Catering at least three times this year and the portions on my most recent order was less than what I got previously. I relied on the photos on their website and they are rather misleading. Their assorted pancakes was pretty much two varieties only (we didn’t get the zucchini and only a couple of the colorful ones), contrary to what we received before or on their website photo. The kimchi had so many red pepper flakes it was unappetizing. Their seafood jellyfish looked nothing like their photo (no meat and seafood other than shrimp). The Korean rice punch is not traditional by any means; you will only taste water and sugar. There was no rice or pine nuts in the punch. With that said, their chicken salad, crab dynamite, and overall taste of food is ok. However, with the amount of business I gave them, I expected more courtesy and effort in their food preparation.

We ordered food for my boy’ first birthday party (dol). Food was great and good service. Recently I bought Kimchi. Love it. Definitely better then market Kimchi.

I used Palace Catering for my son’s 1^st birthday. It was a small, at-​home party & I only invited 30 – 40 people. Because it was so small, I didn’t expect to get such good personal customer service, but I did. Mr. Kim was so nice & personal. He made me feel like my event was as big & important as any. We ordered bulgogi, spicy chicken, shrimp, mandu, seafood pancakes, chapjae, and rice. When I went to pick it up, they were all ready for me. Very easy & no hassle. All of my guests loved the food. I took the leftovers to work the following day & my (very picky) co-​workers liked it too. I was really happy w/​how everything turned out.

WORST CATERING FOOD EVER! My husband and I attended a very typical Korean wedding. Of course there was Korean catered food. We had our plates full expecting decent food. Decent my ass! The bacon-​wrapped asparagus was gross – bacon was rubbery and asparagus an overcooked mush. The fried chicken pieces were tasteless – outer «crust» was drenched in sweet and sour sauce which made it soggy, and the chicken meat was super dry. My husband said he wanted to cough it back up and out but the chicken was so dry that it stuck in his throat. (Heimlich!) The sprouts were very flavorless except salt. (Oh my gosh they use a shitload of salt!) The Korean beef (galbi) was also very dry and again, overly salty. After having a painful couple bites, I was no longer able to eat anything else. I felt sick and nauseous. I walked out of the wedding starving! This was the nastiest, saltiest, most depressing food ever. I don’t know how this place got such high ratings. Nasty, gross, and shitty. Their idea of flavoring food is just dumping an entire container of salt into each dish. (Um, health department?) My husband and I walked out very unsatisfied and hungry.

I had Palace Catering for my wedding, and i am so happy that i did! The selections of food were so perfect and tastefully cooked. My husband’s one request, while planning the wedding, was that he has a biggest say in selecting the WEDDING FOOD! we went tasting at multiple places, and Palace catering was the one that he was willing to drop the $$ for! ;) My parents and my in-​laws were very happy about the food, since many of their guests commented on how extensive the buffet line was and how yummy the food tasted. My non-​Korean friends have told me that they enjoyed the food very much as well. Mr. Kim at Palace Catering told me that he will make sure the table settings will be perfect with pretty linens and the chair covers. And they were absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you so much for everything, Palace Catering! :)

This company is fantastic! Mr. Kim at Palace Catering put together a surprise Sushi Chef Party for my daughter’s 40^th birthday and the event was perfect. Sam, the sushi chef and owner of the new restaurant, Sushi Ye on Oxford St., came for two hours and made fresh sushi on site for the guests. From edamame to amazing rolls, fish sushi and the best spicy tuna hand rolls I’ve ever had, every bit of Sam’s food was wonderful. So fresh and delicious. There was also a few yummy Korean dishes like Korean noodles, ribs and fried rice for anyone who couldn’t eat sushi or wanted more food and a giant platter of fresh fruit to go with the birthday cake for dessert. Some of the pickiest sushi eaters I know kept commenting on how great Sam’s sushi was. The tables looked beautiful with white tablecloths and navy runners and orchid center pieces. Mr. Kim put as much effort into this small, intimate party as I am sure he does for big wedding celebrations. Everything went off without a hitch and my daughter was so happy with the results. If you need a caterer who really cares about his work and does it wonderfully, this company is for you.

One of my best friend had wedding ceremony last year and she ordered catering from here. I supprised that they even decorated whole tables and chairs. OMG it was gorgeous!!! And the foods were really nice too. I could tell this catering company is literally best one in town!

Out of all the catering foods I have tried, Palace Catering is one of the best! They have a variety of food, flavorful, and great potions (the sushi and korean side dishes are great!). Palace Catering caters to a lot of events in the Los Angeles area, and a lot of people who have tried the food at events all have positive comments about the food.

Okay, so I didn’t actually order from Palace Catering but ate their food at a Korean wedding I just attended. Wow, good food! And so much of it! I wanted to keep piling on everything but I didn’t want to look like a fatass in front of people I’ve never met before lol. White and black rice, sushi, sashimi, lots of banchan (Korean side dishes), shrimp tempura, it was never ending. They smartly placed all the best dishes at the end of the buffet table so people don’t take too much of that stuff. Kimchi first, short ribs last. I’ll keep this little trick in mind at my next Korean wedding.

I used Palace Catering for my wedding in June of 2008. I had the best experience with this company and they were very professional about everything. They do a lot of catering around the LA area and are very experienced. My wedding guests had a lot of positive comments about the food which was our priority at our reception. They told us that we were the 1^st ones to have galbi at a wedding which we liked to hear. We did spend more than the typical $ 25/​person Korean buffet price at weddings, but it was well worth it because our guests were very pleased.
I hope they remember me because we’re definitely planning on using them for our future references. Their food was excellent and it was a lot more than the basic of the basics you get at common korean weddings.
