I have used LA Spice 3 times now for catering my parties. They are fantastic. Andrea is so easy to work with and plans everything to perfection. Everyone always comments how great the food is and the staff is always friendly and so helpful with any thing I need. I highly recommend them for ANY of your catering needs.

LA Spice catered our annual UCLA Alumni Leaders Conference and they did such a spectacular job! Working with our conservative budget, they created beautiful lunch and dessert reception displays; our alumni volunteers raved about the food. Their service was impeccable, their staff spot-on, professional and patient. I cannot recommend LA Spice enough for both their catering fulfillment and their delicious eye-catching culinary presentations. Patricia Ford, UCLA Alumni Affairs

Andrea threw an amazing baby shower that I had to plan remotely. I couldn't even attend the shower, but she and her team came over early, handled the food, setup, and even inflated the balloons! The party was a hit, and I'm so grateful to LA Spice for treating us like family.

I LOVE these guys! They have done 2 parties for me and I look so forward to having them for my next one. The food is absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. The staff has been lovely and helpful every time, and they just help to create such a wonderful and special event-feeling party. Super thrilled to have found them and can't recommend them more highly.

My new FAVORITE place to grab breakfast or lunch. The staff working at the ordering counter have all been incredibly helpful at explaining the menu and helping us choose our dish. I have not had one bad bite of food. Everything, from the fresh squeezed Orange Juice, the perfectly cooked flaky salmon, to the desserts have been phenomenal. Go, you will love every bite!

We have been working with LA Spice Catering for years now and they are absolutely amazing. Andrea, the coordinator, is not only professional and easy to work with but also very understanding and accommodating of our needs. When we have last minute catering requests, they pull through every single time and we know we can rely on them. Their staff is also very professional, attentive, and friendly. The food itself is absolutely amazing and we get compliments about the food from our guests at every single event!
