We first met Jason during our tasting for our wedding and were blown away by the quality of food and his genuine and kind personality. We never felt pressured to pick certain items of food, he really listened to our requests and gave great recommendations based on our guest count, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the entire menu selection process. Fast forward to our wedding at The Lane in December and he and his team served delicious hot food to our 130+ guests. The vegetable risotto is eyes-rolling-to-the-back-of-your-head good and I still think about the mouth watering sliders. Our

Jason and Curiocity catered our wedding this December, 2021. Jason is an exceptional person and was very accommodating/understanding leading up to the event. He was communicative, quick to respond, and always made sure we were comfortable with the food decisions and gave us good recommendations without being 'pushy' or trying to sell us on more things. Importantly - the food was amazing and our guests raved about it. It's technically a food truck but we served it buffet style and it was perfect. Have nothing but effusive praise for Jason and his team - highly highly recommended,

Our wedding was 10/16, I will post photos as they come in. But I couldnt wait to share what a pleasure Curiocity Catering was to work with. We met Jason when we went for a tasting. It was the 1st catering company we had actually gone to check out in person, but it was the only one we needed to. Everything was delicious, I still think about the sliders to this day. We talked to Jason a little about what items we'd like on our menu, and he was totally receptive to any and all of our ideas. My now-husband is a total foodie, so he had pretty high expectations and a ton of questions but we really

As a wedding planning, Curiocity Catering is simply the best! Jason was extremely helpful, answered all my call and worked with me to get everything the bride and groom asked for. His staff was also very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to hustle through the evening with a complicated turnover and clean up! I am so happy I was able to work with them! Most importantly, food was delicious and nicely presented! Thank you Curiocity Catering!! I will recommend you to all I know!!

Our wedding was Sept 25th, 2021, and we are so happy we booked Curiocity Catering! We loved our food! Jason is very responsive and professional.
They are a food truck, but our menu was already selected so no one was going up to order anything. The food was ready to go come dinnertime! Sometimes people see a food truck and assume it's an open menu. We had grilled cheese w/ tomato bisque shooters, salmon skin tacos, and chips and salsa for cocktail hour. For dinner we had the beef sliders, parmesan fries, strawberry salad, and vegetable risotto. We opted for the iced tea and lemonade station

I wanted to let you know how absolutely AMAZING the risotto that was on the menu at the wedding last night!!!! The wedding was in Irvine It was the best risotto I have EVER had! It was the only item I was able to indulge in due to my participation at the wedding. I was looking on your website and it appears that you are only for catering? I was hoping to find where I could get some more! Darn it! Also, when I look at the menu online, it shows that the risotto is a wild mushroom risotto, which I love but last night had beets, cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, etc. Did the couple "customize

We used Curiocity Catering for a small memorial service we had for our parents and their food was awesome. We received a lot of compliments from our guests on how excellent the food was. The staff were friendly and professional at all times. Loved the whole experience with them. Would recommend them to anyone in a heart beat.

Jason and his team provided excellent service and wonderful food for our private party. From start to finish it was an exceptional experience. Communication with Shawnta was great, her follow up and quick response helped make the planning go smoothly. As one foodie guest put it "the food was fantastic and the catering staff was so friendly and accommodating". I am so happy I went with Curiocity Catering for our event. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much Jason!!!

Curiocity catered a private event to raise money for services for human trafficking survivors, and not only is their generosity commendable, but their food was truly exquisite! Extraordinary service and presentation, but the food was truly memorable!
I am thrilled to recommend this amazing cuisine for anyone seeking to provide classy and delicious catering!

WOW - I would've never thought such gourmet food can be cooked in a food truck. We were blown away by the amazing flavors of all of his menu items. Not only that, but Jason was super professional and took the time to work with us to create the perfect event. He even handled the table rentals at well so we didn't have to deal with multiple vendors. Would highly recommend him for any future events.

Jason and his team at Curiocity Catering were phenomenal! They catered our wedding and I had so many guests that were delighted by the fun and tasty appetizers during our cocktail hour which included grilled cheese with tomato shooters, sliders with Parmesan truffle fries, and the serious mac & cheese.
Dinner was amazing; my husband and I were excited for the steak with Chimichurri sauce for months after we did our tasting. I strongly recommend choosing the mixed vegetable risotto because I am still dreaming about how delicious it was.
Overall, I was very pleased with the presentation and

Curiocity Catering has been awesome to work with. Each of their menu items is unique and equally delicious, and it's nice knowing that you're supporting a small, boutique-y company. Despite the difficulties presented by Covid, Jason has been professional throughout this entire process and we have nothing but good things to say!

My fiancé and I hired Jason and crew for our upcoming wedding, but had to postpone due to Covid which unfortunately resulted in us not being able to move forward with Curiocity Catering because he was already booked for our new date. We are still pretty crushed about it, as we were really looking forward to working with him!
Right off the bat, Jason and his team are incredibly friendly, accommodating to any food restrictions (without the bat of an eye), Jason is responsive and kind and his food is DELICIOUS and of exceptional quality. He also did everything within his power to work within our

There are caters that you can get, and then there is the caterers that you want.
Jason, and his team from Curiosity, are the caterers that you want. They work with you in every way that they can to bring your vision of the big day to reality.
Our first food tasting experience was with Curiosity. We didn't make plans for a second. Not only was the food superb, but Jason was the kindest person you'd want to work with for your event.
From an attractive menu and food, to pricing and vibe, this is the catering service you can trust for you event.

I'm just now getting around to writing this review, but they catered for a Christmas party I went to pre-Covid. They did an amazing job and all the food was so delicious. My boyfriend and I are vegan and they were more than happy to explain the ingredients in all of their dishes and help us get something we were able to eat. They were all out of their risotto which he told us was vegan and they actually went back, made more risotto and found us in the party later to make sure we got some! Such a wonderful company with friendly staff and great food. Would highly recommend them for any event

This review is long overdue. We had Curiocity Catering cater our wedding pre-covid and my wife and I are still hearing from friends and family about how good the food was. We wanted something different and a unique menu with a lot of variety. This is one of the many reasons why we ended up choosing Curiocity Catering. We were also impressed with the flow and the whole process we experienced. If we were to do it all over again it is without a doubt we would choose this company to cater our wedding. Best of luck to Jason and the crew.

Everyone loved the food items and service!
First time I had Curiocity was at a friends wedding. The food was so good that when the time came to plan my works Corporate Holiday Party just recently, I called Jason right away (around September I think) and asked for his availability. He invited me to a tasting (photos attached) We locked in after a week or two of planning the menu.
I gave him a certain budget and he came up with a menu with a very quick turnaround - and all 85 of us loved the food! We had the lamb chops, tacos, truffle fries, sliders, risotto. He also planned a cheese board to
