Catering Filipino, honestly
Filipino food is built for gathering — platters that travel well, flavors that reward slow cooking, and a table meant to be shared. At Carthage we bring that spirit to catering with a spread anchored in adobo, kare-kare, and garlic fried rice, rounded out with lumpia that stays crisp, pancit bihon noodles, and longganisa sliders made from zabiha-sourced meats. The heart of our Filipino table is a halal · zabiha-sourced lineup that doesn't compromise on depth: sour sinigang, tender oxtail stew, and bright atchara pickled papaya that cuts through the richness exactly when you need it.
Every tray leaves our single Los Angeles kitchen, which means Filipino dishes can share an event with Korean BBQ, Lebanese mezze, or a Vietnamese pho bar — all priced together per guest without a separate vendor fee. Dietary tags are clear: adobo and kare-kare are naturally gluten-free, pancit can go vegan or vegetarian on request, and our desserts — leche flan, ube halaya, bibingka coconut cake — are the kind of sweet finish that feels both nostalgic and new. Whether you're hosting a kamayan-style feast where guests eat off banana leaves or a plated service across LA and Orange County, the food arrives ready to bring people shoulder to shoulder.
Filipino catering runs about $22–$120 per guest, all-in, and the price per guest falls as the guest count rises. Here is what a spread costs at the counts people usually ask about.
| Guests | Estimated cost | Per guest |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $575 – $2,550 | $23 – $102 |
| 50 | $1,100 – $6,000 | $22 – $120 |
| 100 | $2,200 – $10,500 | $22 – $105 |
| 150 | $3,300 – $15,000 | $22 – $100 |
All-in: the food plus the staff, delivery and setup the service style needs. Tastings, rentals, add-on services and California sales tax are the only additions, and there is no service charge. The crew, setup and delivery are shared across the room, so the price per guest falls as the count rises. Every menu halal · zabiha-sourced.

Questions
Filipino catering, answered honestly
What does Filipino catering cost in Los Angeles?
Platters, trays and pans run $58–$205. Pancit, garlic fried rice and lumpia sit at the lower end; kare-kare oxtail and the larger celebration builds sit at the top. Every platter states how many it serves.
Is Filipino food halal here? It is usually built on pork.
It is, and this is where the difference shows most. Filipino cooking leans on pork more than any cuisine on this site — ours uses none. Longganisa is beef, adobo is chicken, and lumpia is filled with beef and vegetables. Everything is zabiha-sourced and no alcohol goes into a braise.
Does Filipino food work for a large party?
It is built for one. Pancit, adobo and rice scale cleanly to a few hundred and hold their quality on a line, and lumpia is the dish that disappears fastest at any size. Kare-kare and sinigang come staffed so they are served hot rather than held.
Which Filipino dishes should anchor our menu?
Chicken adobo and pancit bihon anchor nearly every table, with lumpia opening it and garlic fried rice underneath. Kare-kare oxtail is the dish that makes an occasion feel like one, and leche flan or ube halaya closes it.
