B.Lin catered my friend's baby shower and they did an amazing job. Roya our event coordinator was easy to work with and assisted us with selecting our tasty menu. All food was delivered on time, hot and seasoned to perfection. They helped us set up and display our entrees beautifully. I will definitely hire B.Lin again for my catering needs.

B. Lin was so terrific-- we threw a big party and so many friends went out of their way to tell us how delicious the food was. The dinner was truly scrumptious. We did a vegetarian menu and B. Lin knocked it out of the park and we loved working with Roya. Thank you for making our special event yummy and memorable!

We worked with B Lin for a gathering in our home. We were able to order trays of items - the menus online were easy to navigate. When I reached out to B Lin, Roya responded quickly and helped create a menu on restrictions that we had. Set up was very fast and nice. COVID-19 protocols were followed and staff were exceptionally polite.
Now for the food - simply delicious. The peri-peri chicken were my favorite. My only note was we had too much pita bread that was leftover. But...that always happens. The dessert cups were awesome (also ordered too many but they are very good and I don&apos

Working with B. Lin Catering was the best decision we made! My husband and I were looking for caterers in the DC area for our wedding in May, and out of the many options available there was no doubt we made the right choice. Working with Roya was so helpful. She was extremely responsive and accommodating, and clearly has lots of experience. We arranged a tasting for our menu, a site visit and walk thru, and her suggestions to our plans made the difference between a good event and a great one! The food was delicious, the staff was so friendly and helpful, our guests were raving. We are definitely

B. Lin Catering was hands down the absolute best! We hired them for our wedding and they were so accommodating and flexible with our ever-changing plans and guest count due to the pandemic. I couldn’t have asked for a better catering team for our wedding. The food was delicious and they really helped to make our day so special! Their service, responsiveness, and flexibility makes them 10/10 and we couldn’t believe how affordable they were!

B. Lin was fantastic at working with us to make amazing food that combined our Israeli and Filipino food traditions for our wedding. They clearly spent a great deal of time researching the right dishes that celebrated the flavors of our cultures, resulting in a menu that reflected us as a couple. The food was remarkable, there were definitely no airline chicken breasts or mushy steamed vegetables involved. Even though many of the ethnic dishes they prepared were new to them, we were impressed at how authentic they tasted. Don’t tell our family, but some of the recipes were better than our families’

The staycation platters are such a great idea from B.lin Catering!! We got the staycation platter with a mix of korean, chinese and filipino foods. Delicious!! The lumpia was one of our favorites in the platter- so flavorful. The singaporean noodles were also a hit! For $50, the small platter can definitely comfortably feed 3 people.
I look forward to trying more from B.Lin and hopefully ordering catering from them in the future.

Highly Recommend B. Lin catering's "reheat and serve" meal kits. We tried this week and they are crazy delicious! $12 per meal with minimum 2 person order, just 5 minutes to reheat, and helps support a local business that is struggling since its reliant on events which are now all cancelled.
they deliver on Monday / Thursday's. it's been far an away the best of all the kits and delivery options we've tried with our newborn + social distancing - healthy, delicious, and feels fancy. Options like fajita bar, Mediterranean bar, noodle bar etc. with detailed allergy notes

As anyone who has experienced the service, care and food from B. Lin Catering will tell you, this team is top notch. Whether I have placed an advanced order or needed something in a hurry, Roya has always been swift to respond, very kind, accommodating and has offered great suggestions. Delivery is always on time, if not early. We've had a different expediter for each of our events, but each gentleman has been efficient, friendly and professional, needing little to no help from the host (which is a tremendous relief when running around orchestrating an event).

B.Lin was an amazing caterer for our wedding in VA in June 2019. Ben and Krista were so responsive to our requests and really listened to us when personalizing the food to meet our tastes. They certainly went beyond the call of duty on several occasions. We are avid foodies and their menu selection and cuisine did not disappoint. Everyone commented how great the food was, and several guests told us that it was the best wedding meal they've ever had! Their service was also first-rate, with superb attention to detail and wonderful professionalism. With so many vendors to manage, with B. Lin we did

We used this catering company for our backyard wedding in June and EVERYONE raved about the food. We had a small reception (only 20) but every single person wanted to learn where the food was from. Even our photographers asked about it, so they could recommend and also use!
We got buffet style and it was definitely MORE than enough for 20 people, probs gave us enough for like 30!
We got the Cajun menu and a few additional items for my vegan in-laws ;)
Did not disappoint def a must have!

B-Lin Catering was a huge part of the success of our recent Summer live pitch event for the Awesome Foundation DC. They provided amazingly food, expertly prepared, and packaged for traveling to the event, which was a huge hit to our 60+ super satisfied guests. There were many delicious items including grilled pita and roasted garlic hummus (the first thing to be fully devoured by our folks), tzatziki, htipiti (roasted red pepper & feta dip), spicy feta dip, marinated olives, roasted red peppers, and grilled artichoke hearts. Everything was fresh and delicious, and a feast for the eyes, as well

I have used B.Lin to cater staff lunches, company events, and, most recently, a large charity event of 200+ people. These events were diverse in food selection, to say the least. Our food choices with B. Lin have ranged from mashed potato bars, to breakfast buffets, to large selection of finger foods, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them at every event from start to end. They are extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process, and come event day, the service and set-up is stellar. The presentation of the food is incredible, and the food itself simply could

I used B.Lin Catering to cater my 30th birthday party and I am so happy that I chose them.
This was the first time I had EVER organized an event and catered it, so I was definitely a novice. Thankfully, I got to work with Arin at B.Lin who was amazing. She was patient, able to answer anything I threw at her, and made sure that I got exactly what I wanted even if my budget was a bit limited. She worked with me to decide on which menu to choose based on the dietary restrictions of some guests. She even reached out to her supplier to ensure the romaine lettuce they used was not sourced from the area

My wife and I were hosting a Holiday party and decided we didn't want to stress ourselves out by cooking so we decided to use a caterer. We didn't have a clue who to use. I searched the Washington Post because their food critic wrote up a piece about caterers. But alas, my wife used Yelp and found B.Lin Catering. I wasn't involved in the ordering or delivery process (she said it was very easy) but I was certainly involved with eating their food! The delivery person came on time and I was impressed how everything was packaged. The hot food stayed warm and everything came with
