    Great caterer and delicious food

    YoChef was an amazing caterer for our wedding reception. We were really nervous choosing our caterer, and they definitely met our expectations. Our food tasting was excellent, and the food for our reception was even better. It was the only caterer we tasted where the food didn't seem commercialized. The chef served the food at the reception and walked around to make sure everyone enjoyed the food. They even ensured my food was gluten free. All of our guests raved about the food. It was excellent.

    Yo Chef was an amazing choice as our dinner and hors d'oeuvres option. When we went for the tasting, it was like be served a personal gourmet meal by Chef, which was AWESOME. The actual day of, they went above and beyond. Chef himself even showed up to our wedding, which is something I did NOT expect at all!! That alone made us feel so special. Thank you So much. You're the best!!!

    I cannot say enough good thing about Yo Chef catering! Pam is amazing!! She is helpful, friendly, and honest! We had a wedding; 300 person plated dinner and YoChef went above and beyond to make sure all guests were served delicious hot food. We offered two options for dinner and there was not one mistake. They even accommodated a guest that had a food allergy. The chef walked by all of the tables during dinner to ask how the food was! The service was amazing and the food was even better! Not to mention they are affordable and honest when it comes to pricing!

    We had a wonderful, stress free experience while working with YoChef's Catering for our wedding on New Year's Eve! From the beginning, Pam was very helpful, accommodating, and organized. She made sure we were completely prepared for whatever we could possibly need from a caterer on our wedding day; from food, to linens, to cake cutting. As for the food, it was delicious! We received many compliments from our guests on the appetizers as well as dinner! The chef himself even greeted us during dinner to make sure we were enjoying everything. Thank you so much to the staff at YoChef's Catering for providing such excellent service! It was a wonderful and tasty evening!

    YoChef's was so great! Pam was so easy to communicate with and responded to every email promptly. They had everything set up in a timely manner and the food was wonderful! We had tons of compliments from our guests. The staff was so nice and accommodating. During the reception, the chef even checked in with us to make sure that everything was going okay. Great service. Thank you YoChef's!

    Soooo easy to work with. Nicest people ever! My wedding was in December, and I still get compliments on how great the food was. We did the food stations and it was a hit!

    YoChef's Catering Company was great to work with. Liz was very responsive to e-mails and was able to answer all of my questions. She was beyond helpful! She posed several questions that I would not have thought of on my own and it really helped me plan the flow of events for the day of the wedding. The food was amazing at the wedding! We received so many compliments. The service from the wait staff was also exceptional. Both Liz and Joseff (the chef) checked on us throughout the night. You can tell they really care about their clients. Overall it was a great experience and we would recommend them to all!

    FYI - They also did our linens and everything looked great!

    The food was great! Josef was a pleasure to work with, and Pam helped us iron out all of the details. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to anyone who asked!!!

    Delicious food!

    The food from YoChef’s was delicious! They didn’t seem very organized at the first meeting though, because the lady we worked with kept forgetting things and acting like I was supposed to know what to ask. So we didn’t feel great after the first visit, but we stuck with it because we had heard great reviews from other people. It did get better the next time and they were very flexible to make it whatever we wanted. The prices seemed very reasonable and the food was great.

    The food was wonderful, and the chef Josef is very nice and down to earth. However I would recommend not working with his wife Liz if possible. She takes days to respond to simple emails and although we had proof through email that certain things had been requested etc she still seemed to forget. From what I understand there is another "planner" you can work with, so do not be afraid to request the change if it will make you less stressed:) Also, save your emails (as you should with all of your vendors), they will come in handy when she claims you hadn't sent her certain information when you did.
    Otherwise the menu is great! My guests loved the food!

    I hired Yo Chef for our wedding in October. We ordered Dijon chicken with mustard roasted potatoes and honey glazed carrots. The carrots weren’t cooked and were not glazed with honey. The chicken and potatoes were cooked fine, but they were not prepared with Dijon or mustard, so they were plan. When we contacted Yo Chef with our complaints with the meal, we were told guests liked the food and only complained about the uncooked carrots. We told Yo Chef the chicken and potatoes were plain, they kept pointing out how they knew some of our guests and they didn’t complain about the food except the carrots. I told them it doesn’t matter because the plain chicken and potatoes were not what we taste tested, ordered, and paid for. They did not fix the issue. I am very displeased with them. I would not recommend them!
