Seafood World Catering

above and beyond, supporting us not just on our wedding day but also in the lead-up and even after the big event. From managing a tight timeline to handling our lively bridal party, Ann tackled every challenge with incredible grace and professionalism. During the stressful planning phase, she provided guidance, support, and reassurance that far exceeded our expectations. If you're searching for someone who will anticipate your needs before you even realize them yourself, Ann is the one. She made our wedding day seamless, and I can't recommend her enough!

ionalism from Ann and her team made the booking process very easy. Our guests all talk about the shaking beef being one of the best dishes they ever had let alone at a wedding! We loved working with Ann and would certainly hire her again for any future events we plan to throw.

od was a little different and better from what our guests have been saying. No complaints from our guests were the best. Even though our venue didn't allow Ann to have an on-site kitchen, her team was able to get us our food hot and delicious. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

ot receiving her special vegan meal that we paid extra for, which was a downside. But overall, I had a good experience working with Seafood World

were not flexible in adjusting the number of dishes we wanted (had a hard rule on 8 dishes because it’s an auspicious number 😒) but when we first met with Ann she told us she could put together whatever menu we wanted. She’s been doing this for a long time so we leaned on her for suggestions for many things with our wedding, not just catering. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process and made us feel at ease every time we met with her. On the day of the wedding, she came out to check on my husband and I a few times, to make sure we were good and to remind us to eat :) A lot of our guests told us they loved the food and some even said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Thank you Seafood World!!! We’re so happy you catered our wedding and would 10/10 highly recommend!

n authentic and unforgettable experience. The package they offered wasn't just budget-friendly; it was wonderfully flexible, allowing me to customize it to align perfectly with my preferences. Ann's proactive approach was a game-changer that added a real, personal touch. She seamlessly took on the role of a day-of coordinator, surprising me with a detailed schedule after just one meeting. Their professionalism not only made my wedding day memorable but also remarkably stress-free. I enthusiastically recommend Seafood World Cattering to anyone on the lookout for exceptional catering and a team that treats your big day with the genuine care it deserves. Ann's unwavering dedication and culinary expertise truly turned my celebration into a real-life fairytale!

ooth. I appreciate everything you and your staff did.

n a timely and professional manners. My guests loved the delicious menu and the professional staff. Highly recomended!

ed professional in the catering / event planning business and not only shares so much experiential knowledge, but was so open to hearing my ideas and working with me on them. The food was delicious, guests raved about the food and took home leftovers. I most appreciated that I didn’t have to worry about how the reception would be set up and making sure dinner service and reception program run smoothly the day-of. Ann was on top of it and still interacted with me throughout the night, making sure I ate and guests were taken care of. Seafood World is well connected with vendors in the nearby/OC area, so it was also easy coordinating with the other vendors too when setting up the reception at the restaurant before the event start. Overall, Seafood World is top notch with food quality, service, and coordinating. Thank you Ann and the Seafood World staff!

On the day of the wedding, all of my guests were served with hot and delicious appetizers and dinner at Rancho Los Cerritos in Long Beach. Seafood World took care of appetizers during the happy hour as well as the dinner during reception. I was worried about finding A caterer for the type of food that we wanted because of our venue, being historic site and having strict rules. Seafood World worked with them and had a mobile kitchen and exceeded all of our expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone!

n was already on their website, you'd get less messages about quotes and filter through those who actually wanna book.

o perfection! She went beyond her duties by checking on us throughout the night and made sure we were fed so that we could last the entire night. The food was also incredible. If y’all need a caterer to provide Chinese banquet food at your event, book them!! We also had guests from Asia compliment how good their dim sum hors d'oeuvres were.

od to our liking. She worked super well with our planner and was on top of everything.

if all, her food was delicious! And every dish came out hot and beautifully plated. My guests are still raving about her food, 8 months later! Ann is all about her clients.. she was always there to answer any questions I had, no matter how random or crazy. She really goes all out to make your dreams come true. no joke. She is in your corner! In addition to Ann's awesomeness, her staff was efficient, professional and super friendly.. I really couldn't ask for more. Please don't waste your time with anyone else and go with Ann.. you won't regret it! We love you, Ann!

/ manager Ann was very professional, easy to work with and made my family and friends feel very welcome. The food was delicious and definitely a crowd pleaser. All our expectations were met and then some!

was just delicious and every guest wanted to find the restaurant to go there themselves for lunch or dinner. My favorite items were the honey walnut shrimp and peking duck, hor deuores, however you spell that haha, dim sum, oh yes please give me SUM MORE! again everyone and their mama, papa, sister, friend, brother, loved it! thank you so much for helping us have a memorable cherished wedding! Ten year anniversary, rebook!

points. They also offer dim sum appetizers, which were definitely a hit and sooo tasty! I am so happy we went with Seafood World. Beyond the food, which was great, Ann really took care of us during the planning process and the actual wedding. I had to reschedule my wedding due to a serious health event in my family, and Ann was so accommodating with the schedule change (no additional fees incurred). And on the day of, Ann made sure we had some appetizers waiting for us after the ceremony and packed all of our dinner for us that we didn't get to eat and take home. Do yourself a favor and hire Seafood World!

trying to plan the wedding was difficult and she was overall difficult to reach. A few weeks before the wedding she told me she would not be present at the wedding as she took on another job as a day of coordinator for extra money, however her father would be there to take over and she would be available by phone. I believe that because of this switch some of the things I requested for the table set up were done incorrectly with poor attention to detail. Details of course matter a great deal when planning a wedding! The food came out, however out of order, and I'm not entirely sure all the tables got all the food we ordered. After the wedding I tried to contact Ann about the things that we weren't completely satisfied with and she has not responded to a single message or phone call. So the food was good, however the experience working with them overall was just ok and there were aspects that could have been better.

hard to find a caterer that was great at communication and had amazing food. From our first meeting and tasting with Ann we knew they were the one. She was patient in answering all of our questions and went the extra mile (literally) to meet our venue coordinator and be there for the vendor walk through. Ann is a wonderful energy and really treats your wedding like a priority. She's the ultimate hype woman and someone you're glad to have in your corner. Cherry on top is all of our guests RAVED about the dim sum appetizers and course meal. We couldn't be happier that we went with Seafood World!

questions I had (and I had A LOT of questions)! Everyone loved the food we had and the service we received from Ann and her team was amazing! Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable and special!

e skeptical of hiring a catering service since their whole family has always had traditional Asian weddings at restaurants where they knew the food would be prepared fresh in the kitchen and not microwaved. In meeting with Ann from Seafood World Catering, she let us know that all of our food would be prepared on site in their food trucks outside our venue. She was also able to let us change items on the pre-set menu options available for an 8-course meal to better cater to our guests' tastes. Ann was always responsive via text throughout the planning stages and she did not disappoint on our wedding day. All of our guests loved the food, especially our older guests. It seems like everyone raved about the dim sum appetizers during cocktail hour and the lobster and bo luc lac during reception. Ann also made sure my husband and I were eating too throughout our wedding so we didn't go hungry running around. Overall, the whole experience from planning to wedding day went so smoothly I would book Seafood World Catering again in a heartbeat for any future catering events!

go beyond that. All of our guests, especially our older Asian family members, raved about the food and were extremely happy that we decided to cater the traditional Chinese 7-course meal. The food was beyond delicious, but truthfully, what makes Seafood World so special are the people running things behind the scenes. Ann and her team made sure everything was perfect for our wedding day, from the food and table settings all the way down to the napkins. They are extremely detail-oriented and were so accommodating. I would recommend them over and over again. Seafood World will not disappoint!!

of people cancelled last minute due to covid. They give back credit with the same set menu; no refund.

estaurant in SoCal that had the resources to cater a full Chinese/Vietnamese traditional multi course wedding reception that worked within our venues requirements. We met with her a few times as we got closer and she was always a joy to work with. We just had our special day this past weekend for 250 guest and the food service from seafood world was timely and delicious. Ann was constantly checking in with us as well as keeping an eye out on more than just food. She gave us recommendations for lighting among other things that helped create such a amazing experience for all guests. I highly recommend Ann for your catering needs.

expectations. I’m so happy my friends and family enjoyed the food. Ann is so nice and accommodating as well!

from ground zero. We were super nervous about the catering part of the wedding for three reasons: 1. Our picky parents 2. Catering has to cook and serve offsite is tricky! 3. Serving the food hot (the venue is outdoor and freezing in November) My family, specially my dad and all of his friends enjoyed every dish Seafood World served! The dim sum that were served during cocktail hour was delicious and plenty! I even overheard some guests saying “I can just eat these dim sum and drink wine — go home happy and full!” The execution and planning by Ann was flawless. Additionally, she helped me (the planner and coordinator) tighten up some last minute details for the wedding. With her thoughtful advice, I was able to execute this wedding without any hiccups. I 100% recommend Seafood World!

ess, some points below.. First, and foremost, food was absolutely sensational. The menu was catered to our tastes and boy, did it deliver. One of Roman's groomsmen said, "dude it's been so long since I've had good Asian food...and the last time I had jellyfish was with my fam...before quarantine." We got so many great comments. "feast was tremendous," "best wedding food I've had, hands down. It was so much better than my brother's wedding last week, where we had meh chicken, meh beef, meh veggies." To hear that was an absolute delight. Ann - we're coming back every year to eat that same spread, just to let you know, and we know this isn't yelp, but you're gonna be seeing us a whole lot during dim sum Sundays! Professionalism - Ann, it was such a pleasure to work with you. Straightforward, respsonsive, ORGANIZED, easy to talk to, get's stuff done. We would pick you and the team 10/10 times, every time. Hope to call you up again for our next big event! Service - Perfect pacing through courses. We got a chance to do table visits WITHOUT servers getting in the way. Keep it up! Price - Can't be beat. Clearly we won't divulge $ here, but please set up a chat with Ann to talk menu and we promise, you will be pleasantly surprised at what you can get for your budget.

(Ann), she was easygoing and professional from the start, and made us and our whole crew feel very welcome. Food was amazing (7 seafood course Asian style course), service even better but nothing beats the ambiance (beautiful flower decorations throughout). All our expectations were met and then some. We highly recommend this venue.

d that Director of Catering, Ann Cong, paid attention to details and made the planning process an easy and positive experience. I wish I can give them 10 stars because every year, on our wedding anniversary, different guests from my wedding mention how much they enjoyed the food and presentation.

ite at our venue in downtown LA. Upon speaking with the Director of Catering Events (Ann) along with our wedding planner, we knew that she was experienced in handling wedding food catering as she offered us a selection of food choices and gave us the flexibility to customize our wedding menu to our preferences. Working alongside with Ann gave us a sense of security throughout the wedding process as we learned that she is meticulous in the little details, such as assessing the total number of guests to serve, logistics of cocktail hour (Hors d'oeuvre) as we selected some Dim Sum dish appetizers and the timing between dishes during reception to be served, as we have an 8 course meal for the guests. Overall, the Seafood World team has done an amazing job providing top-not quality food at our wedding and exceeded our expectations! Knowing that our friends and families had enjoyed a great time during our big day, especially accompanied with incredible food made it a truly memorable experience for our wedding night. Although I have thanked Ann and her team for an exceptional service that they have offered, I think that I can sincerely express my gratitude in sharing my personal experience partnering up with the Seafood World restaurant to make your celebration events unforgettable.

oved the appetizers. Our family and friends said it came out hot and tasted delicious. Seafood World did an amazing job plating each course individually and everyone were happy with the food! My husband and I would recommend Seafood World since they do off site catering. Happy wedding planning!

was great. I appreciate how Ann worked with us and how she was a big help during the planning. She even packed us to-go food since we didn't get to eat during our wedding. Overall excellent business.

ater for our wedding. Ann was amazing throughout the whole process and exceeded all expectations. She was professional, quick to respond, and so easy to communicate with. She really went above and beyond with helping me with the planning. The quality of their food and service was excellent, we got so many compliments from our family and friends on how much they enjoyed the food. I’m so happy we chose them as our caterer and would definitely recommend them to others.

and more. Ann was so easy to work with throughout the process. She clearly presented their available packages and took the time to note and customize the items we chose from our tasting. On our wedding day, Ann constantly made sure we were fed. We had a delicious plate of dim sum ready for us post-ceremony and our dinner courses were dropped quickly, ensuring we had time to eat before the remaining festivities. Our guests all raved not only about how good the food was, but also how much food there was! If you want some serious bang for your buck, make sure you get their 8 courses of deliciousness! Ann even made sure to send us home with plenty of leftover dinner and lots of cake, which was much appreciated after a long day. If we had to do it all over again, I would pick Seafood World time and time again. Ann seals the deal and makes you feel like family. Ann, thank you to you and your staff for helping make our day so special. Can’t wait for another excuse to have your delicious lobster noodles!

ous food that Seafood World has to offer. My family has taken out-of-town relatives and family friends to this wonderful restaurant for banquets and parties over the years because the food and service make us feel like we’re eating with family. When it was time to pick a wedding caterer, the choice was obvious. Ann was extremely accommodating and patient with us during the entire process, checking in regularly and making sure that every aspect of our eight-course meal was to our liking. On the day of the wedding, Ann treated us like family, bringing out food for me and my wife immediately and ensuring that we ate before attending the night’s festivities. She proactively packed any food brought out to us that we couldn’t touch so that we could feast on the leftovers. I am so grateful that we got to work with Ann and her amazing team, and our guests were delighted with the quality of the food and service. I would book Seafood World again in a heartbeat!

ns and concerns we had. When catering is a huge portion of the wedding budget, it’s always reassuring to know you are going to be well taken care of. On the day of the wedding, we had nothing to worry about. Ann and Seafood World took care of everything, including making sure we had plenty of food ourselves to eat! Our guests enjoyed the food and service. Our wedding day was such a magical day and Seafood World part of the magic. Many thanks!!

a kid) and we knew our family would enjoy it at the wedding (and they did). Guests told us it was some of the best food they ever had. Beyond the delicious food, the staff went above and beyond to make the day special and perfect. They coordinated smoothly with our wedding planning team and other vendors throughout the day and set up all the tables and took everything down within the constraints of our venue. Ann Cong was integral in making the day a success. She was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process even though we took a while to finalize our catering order. On the day of our wedding, she brought us food throughout the day because she knew, as the bride and groom, we wouldn’t get much time to eat. She brought us a serving of everything from all the courses to our sweetheart table in the short amount of time we had sitting down before we had to tend to other bride and groom duties (she even packed us leftovers so we could have our own little feast after the wedding). She snapped photos of the wedding highlights (e.g., first dance) and decorations on her phone and she handed us her phone so we could take a few selfies because she knew we wouldn’t get a chance to on our own and she sent us all the photos the next day. It was a great experience and if we had to do it all over again, we would definitely book Seafood World Catering again in a heartbeat!

s, and we didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Would highly recommend without any hesitations!

ng and everyone loved it. We made minor tweaks with some things on the dish, but it wasn't anything Ann couldn't manage. Pricing was reasonable and fair. Ann did a great job to meet our needs. She always made sure to put the bride and groom's needs first because we all know how controlling other family members can be. I enjoyed working with Ann, she was patient, kind, and detailed oriented. She was there for us from the beginning to the night of our wedding. The only feedback I had from a few of my guests was that the food was not hot enough. Ann was able to accommodate vegetarians and other specific needs if you have them.

San Diego and once we tried Seafood World is was no question that we would go with them. The food was amazing and, from the beginning of our interactions with Ann, she was always so great to work with, very responsive, flexible and super accommodating. We actually went up a total of 2 times to try the food, the first time for my husband and I to try and the the second time we brought both our families. My husband's family owns a fast casual Chinese food restaurant so you know they are going to be tough critics when it comes to Chinese food and even they had nothing but good things to say about the food. And the food at our wedding was just as delicious and fresh as when we tried it in the restaurant. I think the best compliment we received from a guest was that they forgot that they were even at another venue and it felt like they were just at a Chinese restaurant. That's how fresh and amazing the food was! Literally no one had a bad thing to say about the food! Not to mention, this was Seafood World's first time catering at our venue and we also ended up having to move our dinner time up by an hour, but Ann had everything under control and everything went off without a hitch. From the food to the service, we are so grateful to have had Ann and her team at Seafood World as part of our wedding vendors.

e by email and was very to-the-point about everything. We got married at the Loft in Long Beach. It was a Vietnamese x American wedding and our biggest concern was the fusion of our families. So we went with the Chinese/Vietnamese food from Seafood World for the main course but wanted to integrate some lighter american foods into the appetizer so that everyone could be accommodated. Its's hard mixing vendors but Ann supported anything I wanted. I got our appetizers from another vendor that only delivered the food and Ann and her staff helped to prepare it, buss it and clean it up. It was exactly what I wanted. She also worked in gluten free soy sauce so that my gluten free guests could have some more traditional options as well. Highly recommended!

and and I still get texts and calls from people from our wedding asking who catered our food. Not only the food was great but the service was excellent. Seafood World was very accommodating and made all our requests possible.

n Cong. She runs a tight shift and it shows. Ann was chill and matter of fact during our first couple meetings - she must have been through this hundreds of time. She detailed out every point we needed to know so we rarely had to ask questions. She gave her recommendations and we were skeptical initially (Im a little particular), but are sooo happy we went with her recommendations because she's been through so many weddings and is able to anticipate how the outcome will turn out. So if Ann recommends it, go for it and you won't be disappointed. We actually didn't go with her recommendation on appetizers for cocktail hour, we compromised and got more food than we initially wanted but not what she recommended. In hindsight, she was right and we should have ordered more, our guests mentioned that they ran out. As our wedding approached, Ann helped us through potential vendor issues, personal issues, anticipated issues, you name it - she can do it all! A month before our wedding we were semi freaking out. My husband had horrible eczema flare ups where his skin was sloughing off of his hand - no joke. Ann was such a sweetheart, instead of being grossed out, she sympathized. We talked at length to see what we could do in a months time, she recommended acupuncture, gave us info, gave us some eczema cream and offered us more. We can't thank her enough for this. I can go on but really, Ann is an expert in her field. Trust her and have faith in her recommendations. Our wedding vendors were all amazing, but Ann holds a special place in our hearts for the empathy she held with our eczema issue. Our wedding reception was fabulous and our guests loved all the food they were served. Everything was smooth from our end for the whole night, our only regret is not having enough time to eat. But I hear it's the norm hahaha.

ghts and flower centerpieces made it wedding-worthy. Second the planning staff (Kim and Ann) were amazingly helpful with answering all of questions and helping fulfill our requests where they could. Visiting in person and discussing over email were both easy (this was important as we had to plan this from out of town). Third, on the night of the event, they had people on site to help with some of the day of coordination, which improved our guests’ experience. Me and my wife are very very happy with Seafood World!
