Korean catering in Los Angeles.

Korean catering isn't just about the main protein — it's the ecosystem of banchan, the steam off japchae glass noodles, and the crunch of properly fried chicken wings that make the table feel abundant. At Carthage we build Korean menus around the marquee dishes Angelenos expect: bulgogi and galbi short ribs caramelized to the edge of char, dak galbi that holds its heat through service, and a build-your-own bibimbap bar that lets guests layer rice, vegetables, and gochujang exactly how they want it. Mandu dumplings, kimchi fried rice, and spicy kimchi tacos round out the spread, and every protein is halal, sourced zabiha from certified suppliers, with documentation available on request — the certificate is theirs, not ours.

Because everything comes from one chef-led kitchen, a Korean table can sit alongside Lebanese shawarma, Thai curries, or a soul food spread at the same event and price out at a single per-guest rate. Our banchan are made in-house, the steamed rice is seasoned correctly, and dietary paths are clearly marked: japchae and rice are naturally gluten-free, the bibimbap bar works beautifully for vegetarians, and hotteok sweet pancakes with mochi close the meal on a warm, chewy note. Whether it's a corporate lunch in Irvine or a wedding in downtown LA, the food lands like a proper K-BBQ house — without the tabletop grills smoking out the venue.
