Kimo was an absolute dream. We needed his help to feed my entire family coming to the Islands for holiday and we was the perfect choice. He was incredibly responsive and super easy to work with when it came to the menu. Our family (even the kids) loved his food. Kimo was very professional, respectful and punctual. I would have zero hesitation to recommend him to anyone and would absolutely use his services again if he need a chef in Hawaii. Maholo!
Kimo arrived early with plenty of food for my large family and prepared a delicious meal like we had talked about. Everyone was delighted and impressed.
Kimo is obviously very experienced with cooking, logistics and event planning.
These guys were AMAZING! I hired them to assist with a private breakfast for a surprise birthday gift. They showed up and went above and beyond. Everything was according to the menu that they helped me build, they were professional, and just overall amazing. If you’re in Honolulu and you’re looking for the best chef possible, I highly recommend!
Chef Kimo was very easy to work with. We were a family of 14 with various allergies and restrictions. He accommodated all our requirements and made delicious food for adults and children. He even did our grocery shopping as we were traveling with small children, as a courtesy. We appreciated that a lot!!! Mahalo chef Kimo! Chef Kimo was generous in his portions, we had leftovers for the next day. Kids loved his chicken, Mac and cheese and fruit and fresh hot donuts. The adults enjoyed his food just as much!! I highly recommend her Kimo for all your events. He will deliver. On time and you will not be disappointed. Thank you chef!! Mahalo!!
Really swift response. That is critical for me as I am often under tight deadlines.
Chef Kimo was absolutely incredible to work with. I cannot wait to have another function because I would definitely go through their catering service again. The food was amazing and the quick response time made having a last-minute booking so stress-free. Thank you chef for being such a delight!!
He catered a simple engagement party for us. It was a great variety of finger food and there was lots of it.
Chef Kimo maintained excellent communication with me during the planning and preparation phase. He came out and did a site visit to get the details in order. The food tasted excellent and everyone was complementary about the flavors!
I love working with Chef Kimo. The attention paid to detail and willingness to accommodate everyone's needs is really impressive, and made a great impression with my family. Also, the amount of services available with this company is wonderful; really a One-Stop-Shop kind of deal. I would recommend Kimo's Akamai Catering to everybody I know. Much much Mahalo Chef Kimo!!!!!
Chef KIMO was amazing im every possible way, he treated us like family and he became a part of our family! He advocated for us to get exactly what we wanted and made things happen that other caterers said were not possible! He went above and beyond and the best part was that his food THREW DOWN! Mouth watering and amazing. He does it all! It would be your biggest mistake to pass up on chef KIMO taking care of your wedding/ event needs.
The food was amazing! A great way to have a brunch in the Aulani DVC grand villa!! We loved smelling all the different smells as the food was prepared. Take my advice and have the cinnamon rolls they are AMAZING!!!!
We coordinated a beautiful buffet lunch to honor my late father who was a chef for most of his life. Knowing how important food was to him, and that chefs from around the island would be in attendance the food for the service was one of the most important aspects. Chef Kimo went above our expectations in his creation of the perfect menu. We had a delicious prime rib, and some of my dads signature desserts on top of a local menu of kailua pig, Komi salmon, poi and other local favorites. We will definitely be calling Akamai Catering for our future events
We had the best time with Chef Kimo. The entire process went very smooth. From the initial conversation to menu planning to the day of, was very flawless. The food was absolutely delicious. Chef Kimo prepared everything in our AirBnB and then cleaned up after. We were not expecting this, but it was a very nice surprise. Our group of 6 had an extremely memorable evening, and we are so happy that we met Chef Kimo.
Kimo and his team were amazing. The food was incredible, and he was very gracious with the portions. My daughter was very happy on her special day. Thank you Kimo.
Kimo was fantastic! We purchased our own food from Costco and had it delivered to our villa. Kimo and I worked out a menu ahead of time and he showed up and made it happen. He also did a small amount of shopping for us so we didn’t have to have Costco-sized everything. All in all, he helped up with two dinners in the days before and a send-off brunch for our son and new daughter-in-law the morning after their destination wedding. His BBQ ribs at dinner and his home-made cinnamon rolls at brunch were a massive delight to our crowd of 30-40+ people. Such a great choice!
Chef Kimo was excellent!! He worked with us to customize our needs for our event, both with the menu and budget. Everything was made from scratch and cooked on site. Not only were we thrilled, but our guests absolutely loved everything!
Kimo was great! Our wedding guests enjoyed the food and so my husband and I definitely recommend hiring him and his team for your event.
It was an absolutely perfect evening! I'm so greatful to have found Chef Kimo on Thumbtack (which I had never used before but will again). I HIGHLY recommend booked Chef for any event in Oahu! Made our vacation truly special.
