The food was DE-Lic-IOUS! Very good. I wanted to maintain my manners but I looked and wanted to scrape the pans at the same time. An internal struggle based on the food’s great taste. Please get the Greens if you have the opportunity. It’s hard to please southerners with them and they were amazing. It was excellently presented, great temperature, a varied menu and good portions for a large crowd. I Definitely recommend Ikigai Dining for your next catered event. I promise you I wasn’t paid for this endorsement. More...

If it’s one thing I’m sad about is that I don’t have anymore! Lol Miya was great and my guest loved everything from her seared steak to her catfish bites. Definitely looking forward to her catering more of my events. More...

For starters, Miya was a pleasure to be around. Her service was excellent she was also very attentive. Not only was Miya’s presentation great but so was her food! There was a wide variety of foods and every single dish was flavorful. Such a wonderful experience. Thank you again. More...

The food was amazing. The overall theme was executed perfectly and each dish was seasoned to perfection. The variety in the spread was a huge plus and allowed those with dietary restrictions to still partake in the dinner. Every plate was empty by night’s end and Ikigai Dining made the night a huge success. More...

Miya provides not only amazing food but customer service. She was organized in her operations and provided plenty of options for my date night event including a four course meal along with drink mix options. She was friendly and attentive and made sure to answer all questions I had. Her Mac & cheese + cornbread were 2 of my personal favorites. 10/10 would recommend! More...

It’s literally no exaggeration when I say that Miya’s food was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. I didn’t even know Mac and cheese could taste like that. The only thing I don’t like is that she doesn’t have a restaurant I can go to on a daily. If you’re looking for an amazing chef that don’t miss… look no further. More...
