We had a last minute request to provide lunch for some VIPs who were from out of the country. I called Cherrywine because they were the only restaurant i could find online who served a variety of Asian fusion food. Most others were either more traditional or only Japanese fusion. At first, I was skeptical because the hostess couldn't give me a straight answer about whether or not they catered. This was on Saturday afternoon and the event was for the following Monday at lunch. On my third call, I was assured that they do catering and that someone would get back to me.
I didn't hear back from anyone that Saturday, so I called right when they opened the following day to confirm that they could do the job, or else I would have to go to Plan B. I spoke to Art who was very accomodating, to say the least. We talked several times throughout the day to make sure the order was squared away.
It has always been my policy to never use a restaurant or catering service for important, or large events that we had not tried 2-3 times, yet with smaller requests. I was desperate, however, and decided to take a chance with Cherrywine. I felt more hopeful when I spoke to Art.
They were a little late arriving, but after seeing the work they had put into the lunch, the anxiety and fear I felt all weekend completely went away. The presentations were beautiful, they brought actual warming trays and fancy utensils and plates which we didn't ask for but they thought of bringing themselves, the staff was super friendly and accomodating, they even explained the different dishes to the attendees, and, most importantly, the food was delicious! On top of all this, we were their first catering job ever! They really went above and beyond. We couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out. I highly recommend them for catering, or even just checking out their restaurant, which is something I...

The server was very patient with my mom who struggles with English and is very particular with her food.
We got the chicken and veggie deluxe entree and the golden coconut soup. Both excellent and with plenty of added spiciness.
They do Asian food a bit differently than other restaurants. Instead of the traditional short-gain white rice, they used a rice similar looking rice that I usually see in Indian cuisine. Maybe it’s just me, but it was softer and tastes less cheap than other places I’ve been to. Besides that, they also put the food (in our case the chicken and veggie entree) on top of a bed of rice instead of on the side like most Asian restaurants I’m used to (I’m from Minnesota). It’s a small change, but an elegant way of presenting their food to customers.
When I was exploring La Jolla, this little place caught my eye and I am pleased I decided to explore it.
My only criticism is the misspelling on the menus, the lackluster website, and how we were the only people at the restaurant but it still took a bit of time for the food to come— honestly, still worth the wait though.
But as the restaurant’s name suggest, definitely a modern, cozy place to...
