We loved working with Ke Nui for our wedding and highly recommend their catering services. Our experience was great throughout the entire process. They provide excellent customer service, including a sales representative who works with you from start to finish: from developing a custom menu down to the final preparations. We were in constant contact with our sales reps Mikhaila and Eva, both of whom were super responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. Ke Nui was able to accommodate dietary restrictions of all kinds, which was hugely important for us and our guests. The team generously answered our many questions along the way, including questions about specific menu requests, food sourcing, how the food is cooked, and more. They also provided an awesome tasting experience at their Waimea Valley kitchen. Ke Nui’s service on the day of our wedding was excellent. We had a large wedding and opted for buffet style service. All 180 our guests were able to move quickly through the line and received more than enough food.

Most importantly of all, however, is that the food was incredible. We served Kalbi Beef, Misoyaki Butterfish and an array of amazing sides, and our guests loved everything. The pass apps were a huge hit, and all the dessert options, from our guava chiffon wedding cake to the banana creme pie shooters, were gone before we knew it. While Ke Nui may be slightly more expensive than other vendors, the money spent is more than worth it if you want your guests to have a wedding meal that they’ll actually remember. To quote one of our guests “it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had, and that includes the food at our own wedding.”

Ke Nui Kitchen gave us a true farm to table experience that drew rave reviews from our wedding guests. It's difficult to prepare food for larger parties, but their staff cooks the food on site and serves it fresh and hot to guests.

A few months before our wedding, we did a food tasting that is included in the booking. Every dish was delicious, so it was difficult to choose our final menu! During the tasting they also took notes on any changes in preparation, from using slightly less soy sauce to substituting an ingredient.

While every dish was great, our favorites were the asparagus salad, kimchi Brussel sprouts and their huli brasa chicken. We also had Ke Nui Kitchen cater our rehearsal lunch. We gave them a location and they dropped off the food right on time. They set up the trays and provided serving utensils for us.

We got a lot of compliments from our guests. Their professionalism made this aspect of wedding planning very smooth and stress-free for us. We highly recommended them!

The food was delicious!!!!! For appetizers we had classy, had passed pupus- Bao Buns and baked oysters. At our wedding reception we had "live" stations where the chefs cook the meal right in front of our guests. We chose the kobe station with steak, chicken and shrimp, with japanese fried rice. The presentation was beautiful and taste was on point!!!! Our guests were raving about the food even weeks after our wedding trying to information and if they can eat at their restaurant.

In addition we had Ke Nui Kitchen staff our open bar. They were vary friendly and professional. The organization and service throughout the whole process was outstanding!
