Awesome food!!!
We had a newbie server and some mixup with the bill but i notch it up to a learning curve and communication. Only server’s second day.
The owner/​chef came out to greet the tables, so that’s always a good sign!!! The daughter runs the floor and would entertain the infants when they act up or sad to ease the chaos.
Cute place with good blues/​jazzy music on the background.
No alcohol license but complimentary glass of apple cider. Apparently they charge for refills at $ 3/​glass — no matter coffee, arnie palmer.
So a 4 star experience due to the newbie and the confusion with the bill but I believe this to be a 5 star location. They offered a drink while the correct the bill and made sure I understa

We hosted a post wedding brunch at Chef’s Catering and were thrilled with the delicious food and every detail that the owner and team put into the flavor and presentation of the food. Chef’s presented an incredible spread of middle eastern food and desserts and breakfast food and pastries with individual orchid blossoms dotting the tables. They also rolled out the red carpet, literally, with a red carpet set up at the entrance. That touch demonstrated the heart that went into every detail of the event. We wholeheartedly recommend Chefs and look forward to returning in the future!

Chef’s Catering is definitely an amazing find! We use them for our company catered lunches and they always go above and beyond our expectations. Everyone at our company absolutely loves the food. The food is gourmet and great quality. Their attention to detail translates to everything from the great homemade salad dressing to the delicious desserts. The presentation for the food is outstanding as well.
On top of the great food, the customer service is fantastic. We met the Chef and he was so warm and accommodating. He sat down with us to create a menu that caters to the vegetarians, vegan, and of course, meat eaters of the company. Overall, I highly recommend using Chef’s Catering for your events.

Great alternative to those pricey hotel brunch buffets when you need to get a brunch fix. Service is great. Tried the Italian and french brunch. Not so crazy about the middle eastern one and ice tea should be included in the brunch price like other brunch buffets. Darn forgot to use the Unilocal check in discount!

I went for the Greek themed menu. The food was amazing! The lamb was to die for, the chicken was juicy, and macaroni bechemel was delicious.
A buffet for $ 20 with this quality of food is unheard of. Not to mention the incredibly friendly wait staff and ownership. The chef came out and asked how the food was. He was incredibly nice, and so was the manager Joanne. I will definitely be back!

If the food is anything like calling to make reservations, it’s definitely 5 stars…
Mother’s Day (May 8)
The food is def 5 stars… fresh & delicious and plenty for everyone. The restaurant is clean & staff courteous and professional.
If there is anything I can say to assist in this hectic day it would be: 1) open on time. Our party of eight arrived early by 5 minutes & there was already a large crowd outside. It must have been about 1:10 before the hostess began checking in & escorting patrons to tables. 2) IMO, have water on the table. The restaurant is a good size but lots of tables on this holiday, with many people standing in line for the buffet. It’s difficult to get around with a full buffet line almost to the entrance making it hard for the servers to pour water in a timely manner. After the first round through the buffet, it all settled down and servers could get around easier with beverages.
All-​in-​all, great place. Will def be back on a non-​holiday for some great food.
Thanks, Chef’s Catering for a great Mother’s Day spread.

After making a reservation, we received email confirmation w directions to secure reservation. Upon calling, notified we were confirmed and that they would charge card a day or 2 b4. Very efficient!
When we arrived, we were given a tour of food stations, seated and asked about our drink order.
All other tables had tea pots, we were brought a cup of hot water & 3 tea options. Other tables were offered the tea caddy & tea pot.
Moving to food.
Station 1 offered a fittata, bread pudding, olives, cheeses, etc. Fritata had burnt edges on the pan coves and edges. Cheeses could be had at any market and quite banal.
Our server seemed green!
Don’t want to rain. on the parade, but just because you place a trough doesn’t guarantee a positive review in my book.
Everyone had a smile!
Parking:
Plenty
ADA:
Easy access

I took my parents here during their weekend visit, and we were very pleased. Tucked in a simple shopping corner, Sunday brunches at this catering company are great. There were a variety of options and so many amazing desserts. I really enjoyed the service as our waiter gave us a little tour of the buffet and explained all the choices. The owner also made the effort to come by each table and check in with all their guests which I thought was wonderful. No alcohol is served, but this is still a great spot for brunch buffets in Orange.

This place is absolutely to die for. Talk about pride in food, this place takes the cake. Plus it’s 100% halal. When you eat their food, you can feel the love that it was made with. Too bad it doesn’t open to public everyday but maybe that’s what makes this place so special. I’m a customer for life now.

Enjoy the brunch here. Menu changes each time. Today is French… great food .easy to access location. great customer service

The food and service was excellent. I enjoyed the entire menu and very reasonable for the price

Where do I start. Let me first state that I don’t normally write reviews.
I have visited this business on prior occasions and always enjoyed a great experience.
But I felt compelled for the obvious reasons I’m about to share.
Lets start with the size of the location, this is a small location but don’t let that fool you, it serves like a Las Vegas Buffet. Having said that let me note the 3 following observations.
The variety and quality is leaps and bounds above it’s competitors. Because of it’s size, it rotates it’s cuisine to 3 or 4 different tastes. The presentation of the food clearly shows the time, labor and effort taken to present it at it’s best and this is what frankly, impresses me the most. The food is superbly prepared and tastes great.
The buffet is impeccably clean, the walls, the floors, the restrooms, the tables, everything.
It’s a pleasure to visit Chef’s.
Let me say that I believe that there are 3 elements that make up a good buffet.
I’ve already mentioned the first two.
The personal exceed the service expectations. They are genuinely concerned that we enjoyed a great dining experience. They continuously removed the plates from our table, they continuously saw that we did not run out of beverages. The owner/​Chef repeatedly came out to greet and secure our satisfaction. The server to customer ratio is very high.
A great buffet must have ambience, food and service all in balance, two strong elements can not carry the third, they must all be proportionate.
Chef’s by far exceeds all expectations beyond.
Truly a memorable dining experience.

This place is a real find — only $ 19.99 for the Sunday brunch buffet and the food is unique, fresh and delicious! Plus receive 20% off with Unilocal check in! Chef’s brunch is only open on Sundays and every Sunday the theme changes. Today was the Italian theme and highlights included Osso Bucco beef short ribs, Spinach Frittata, Stuffed pasta shells, Italian pastries, crispy Pizzelles and jam and a tasty dessert table. Heads up — Anise is used liberally in most of the desserts!
The chef gave us a personal tour of the buffet explaining all the dishes and he also walked the restaurant continuously throughout our time there, checking in with other tables and greeting guests. Although reservations aren’t required, it’s not a bad idea in case there are any big groups. I like to go to buffets when they first open (10am in this case) so that I can be one of the first to touch the food before it gets picked over by others. Is that weird?

I love this place. We have our Women’s Club lunches there and the food is always spectacular. Their servers are wonderful and very efficient. Chef Abdul will work with you on your menu and will do everything he can to make it a special event. I have never been disappointed and anything we’ve had its always been delicious, fresh, and plentiful for the buffet. I highly recommend them for your brunch needs, and catering events.

Real quality, went to the Brazilian themed brunch and it exceeded expectations. The «standard fair» brunch items were excellent and the themed foods were top notch.

Omg I have just found my new best place to eat. Their food is amazing and the owners are wonderful. It’s a hidden gem in Orange. Can’t wait to have my first brunch there!!!

OMG! The best buffet I ever had in OC. Great services great foods and desserts. You have to try this place once and you’ll come back again and again. Sunday brunch is adult for $ 19.99 and they change menus each Sunday. The ambiance is wonderful, clean and bright dining room with very nice music. Master Chef comes out and greet with you. If you are foodies, you have to try this place.

Brazilian theme at Chef’s Catering? We just had to try it. It was so good I think I gained a couple of pounds after eating a couple of platefuls of the delicious skirt steak (so tender) with chimichurri sauce, the skewered chicken (so moist and tender) plus the Spanish rice. Excellent food and outstanding service (Jared was our server). All of the staff are friendly, attentive and courteous. That’s why we love this place and for the price, it’s a steal.

I’ve been here twice both time the menu has been different and food is great. Cant wait to come again.

Better than any place you would spend $ 25 for omlette and etc. Variety of food and great service…

Attentive and friendly staff. Amazing food. The chef even comes by to check in. You can request foods and he will add it to the rotation. Every dish was amazing.
This will an every Sunday Event for me.

So amazing! The food was delicious! The server, host and Chef were so nice and welcoming! Can’t wait to return and bring my family again!!!

I had a Sunday for myself and thought I would try out a new place, and the reviews looked good, so I decided to check the place out. They post the menus for 2 months worth of rotating themes, so I did know exactly what was going to be served. Greek (this week’s theme) would not have been my 1^st choice, but it isn’t like I was surprised.
The food was good. Nothing was really outstanding, but most things were pretty tasty. Three stations were set up, a smaller ‘breakfast’ table, a ‘lunch item’ table and a dessert table. There were 2 hot breakfast items, a Greek fritata and a potato pancake. The fritata was too salty for me, probably because of the Klamata olives. the potato pancake was crispy, but a little bland.
On the lunch side, there were 5 hot options, but I can’t eat that much this early any more. I had the couscous, which I liked, the chicken, which was OK, and the vegetables, which were good.
for dessert, I tried a couple of pastry bites. My favorite item of the brunch was here, a flakey individual pastry wrapped up with an apple compote. The baklava was also good, with plenty of pistachio. My only real complaint was the coffee, which really was not good. It was weak and flavorless. Whatever beans they use could stand a major upgrade.
Overall, for $ 20, it is a good value if you want a big breakfast and like the menu items for the week. the staff is nice, and the owner/​chef is personable and out on the floor, which is nice.

This was straight out one of the most delicious meals we’ve had! The Chef later told us that he graduated from culinary school in France and boy, does he know how to make food.
My husband and I came here last Saturday for their Ramadan Iftar buffet and it was delicious! The appetizers, main courses, dessert bar, I couldn’t even tell you which was my favorite if I tried. They make a mean chicken panne, macaroni bachamel, ooo, and the molokhiya was as Egyptian as it gets, felt like I was home again.
Their motto is, «If you can think it, we can make it». I learned that we can call them ahead of time and request specific cuisines or specific entrees, and they will make it for their next Sunday brunch.
I definitely would recommend for you to check the place out!

Found this place on Unilocal and figured we’d try. We went for Father’s Day lunch/​brunch. Group of 9 which included a veg, gluten allergies and some what picky eaters. We all had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the food. While the décor of the place is pretty minimal. And it’s in a strip mall location. The food and service totally made up for it. The presentation of the food was so beautiful and everything was amazingly tasty. The owner and his wife are amazingly friendly and so accommodating. I Definitely recommend !! Posted a few pics while I was there. Enjoy!

Thanks to Unilocal we were introduced to this place, Chef’s Restaurant & Catering. It’s a themed weekly brunch buffet with their menu seen days before. This Sunday was the Italian Inspired Brunch.
Parking was easy at 12pm and it wasn’t crowded. We were greeted warmly at the door and toured at the buffet table, each section of the buffet table explained to us.
We liked the idea of having just a few choices because it’s not overwhelming and you get the chance to sample all of them, haha!
Food was tasty, freshly made, just right for the price and they have friendly and attentive staff. Chef even went around to check us out.
Will try their other theme brunch next time. It was a good choice!

Thank you Unilocal!Had it not been I would have never discovered this little gem so close to home.
Went today for the French themed brunch and my husband and I were amazed.
This place is small and located in an unassuming strip mall, the décor is minimal with only a few pictures on the walls.
Now on to the food. This is one of those places were the selection isn’t huge, but clearly it’s all about quality over quantity.
We started with the quiche and blueberry almond french toast casserole, a few french pastries, assorted french cheeses and these amazing potato fritters.
There were 3 types of salads. I had the spinach, Bree, tangerine and strawberry salad, so tasty! My husband has the quinoa salad, he absolutely loved it.
Then we moved on to the heavy-​hitters some tri-​tip in some type of awesome sauce, some chicken in cream sauce, mixed veggies and very cheesy potatoes.
Everything we had was perfectly seasoned and amazing.
In the dessert table there was assorted fruit, assorted tarts, macaroons, mini eclairs and cremé brulee.
The drinks were nothing special. My husband had sparkling apple cider and I had lemonade Not great, but the drinks are not enough to knock off a star.
For brunch it is a steal at $ 19.99 per person.
We Can’t wait to try the other themed brunches.
Now all we have to do it wait until we have another child-​free day to have a brunch date.

I would like to give this place 10 stars.
–The food is fantastic — every time!
–The people are friendly and helpful
–The atmosphere is bright and clean
What more can I say? You can’t go wrong here.

Sunday Brunch; French theme: Every Sunday the chef and owner has a different theme. We caught the French theme this weekend.
The restaurant felt more like a banquet or wedding event. The décor is very simple and clean and at a closer look, very classy with subtle hints of quality.
The food is excellent. Really amazing actually. We did Sunday brunch, French themed and really enjoyed their fresh, perfectly seasoned dishes. They had a chicken and mushroom crêpe that was delicious. Their cheese and fruit platter was awesome and their salads were extremely fresh and well balanced.
Made to order omelets w/​turkey bacon and/​or turkey sausage and fresh veggies. Very good but would’ve been great with swine, oink oink.
The service was great.
The only reason I’m not 5 staring is because I wished they had more of a selection for beef and seafood. They only had Tilapia (which I dont like) and their beef option was a wrapped meatball.
I’ll be back for their country feast weekend and their holiday brunch.
