Menu for Banchan A La Carte in Los Angeles, CA

Their menu looks descent for wedding catering but I had the worst experience with them as a wedding planner. Rude attitude,... unprofessional, slow communications, bad serive. Wedding planning is already stressful enough for the bride and you don't needanother vendor that stresses you out. Besides the quality of food, I personally think it is also very important you pick thevendor that can actually work with you in order to successfully communicate to have the dream wedding you want. The staffsincluding the owner are very rude together and they sound like they're doing you a favor with every move and not a single momentwas pleasant. At one point they treated my bride like a dumb person for not being knowledgeable about what to do for a wedding.Maybe they used to be a good business partner for wedding, but I don't think they can be one and there are many other amazingvendors to work with in LA. Just like another reviewer said, if you want to be treated like garbage for your wedding you canpick this place. Read more

Owners were super nice and helpful. Lots of side dishes available. That's both the white and red kimchi. Also saw a bunch of... catering platters headed out the door and they looked amazing too Read more

I wrote a lengthy review on Yelp, so I'm just going to copy and paste that here: I almost didn't want to write this review.... We've used Banchan 3 times. Once for my dad's 60th birthday, once for a friend's wedding, and a third time just this pastweekend for my brother's wedding. For my dad's 60th birthday, it was our first time using them, and the owner lady was reallynice and did a great job. This past weekend, my brother was able to have his wedding, which was pushed back over a year due tocovid. We were expecting 130 guests, and because their portions are small, we ordered for 150 people. We got the mostexpensive option, which is $65/pp. But I have to say, I was really disappointed. There clearly wasn't enough meat and they ranout so fast that the bride and groom barely got to have any. Also, the wedding was at MY house, and when the servers came to setup, they were SO rude and inconsiderate. They were supposed to bring ice, but they didn't. So we went and bought 8 bags ofice, and provided an ice bucket. When my husband told the owner that the ice was here, he annoyingly said "put the ice in thebucket and put it over there"... to my husband. Before that, I saw them put some of the wine on the table, so I told the ownerthat I had some more alcohol to put on the table, and asked if he thinks there would be more room. I couldn't have been morenice about it. But he responds again annoyingly "We're not even in charge of the drinks we didn't bring, so we were doing you afavor. We don't have any room so you can just wait". I was so livid because of the WAY he was saying it. And putting thedrinks on the table? He acts like that was a big task for him and his guys. I didn't want to write a negative review because Ithought that the chef lady was the owner (which she is), but one of the servers is her husband and he was the rudest one. Therewere 5 servers since we had so many guests, and all of them were so damn rude. They were even rude to Read more

Had a wedding this past weekend using Banchan. We selected the most expensive package and had extra servers to handle the meat.... All told we spent about $15,000. My aunt is friends with the owner so we were expecting great service and at least a smalldiscount. Nope. The owners AND servers are extremely rude and act like they're doing you a favor by catering your wedding.Making simple requests like filling a bucket with ice for drinks is apparently too much work and not something we paid for.Really? Is there a hidden package above the highest package we paid for? I thought it was just the employees of the cateringthat were rude, but one of the owners (husband, bald guy) was actually at the wedding and was the rudest person out of theentire staff. No wonder the servers are rude when the owners themselves act like that. The food was also completely out ofproportion. All of the meat was gone before everyone was able to get a portion. The only things they brought mountains of wasjapchae and pasta, of which there was copious amounts leftover. We contacted the owner about these issues and instead of anapology, we got a page long response stating all the things they did for us and why we should be grateful for them catering forus. We paid for 150 people including all the staff so we could feed them too, but we still ran out of meat before everyone had achance to eat it. Yet they swear we're the ones mistaken and that there was enough food. They even tried to convince us thatthere were actually more people at the wedding than we had told them based on the plates used. Are you kidding me? We have alist of every person and every person they came with. You're going to try and base the number of people on plates used?Ridiculous. TL;DR - If you want to be treated like garbage on your wedding day and have to do part of the catering's jobyourself, then by all means use this place. Otherwise I'd go somewhere else. The food isn't even anything to write home about. Read more
