Catering that feeds the dumpling people and the sushi people
Dumplings, sushi, Korean BBQ and boba for your next office lunch, birthday or event in Glendale, Phoenix and the West Valley. Tell us about it and we'll get back to you with options.
Catering from five kitchens in one order
Niu Mama Kitchens is a food hall at 4339 W Glendale Ave in Glendale with five kitchens under one roof: Chinese dumplings, Japanese sushi and ramen, Korean BBQ, Korean corn dogs, and boba and bingsu. That means one catering order can cover the dumpling fans, the sushi fans and the people who just want fried chicken, plus dessert and drinks. We cater office lunches, birthdays, team events and parties across Glendale, Phoenix and the West Valley.
Tell us your date, headcount and budget with the form below and we'll put together options from the kitchens you pick. Not sure what to get? Check “Not sure yet, help me choose” and we'll suggest a mix.
What groups order
Kimchi Xpress has its own catering menu of full pans and 5-gallon soups. From the other kitchens, these regular menu items work well for groups; catering quotes may bundle or scale them.

How catering works
- Send the form. Give us the date, the time you need the food, your headcount, the type of event and a rough budget per person. Pick the kitchens you're interested in, or let us choose.
- Give us a week. Send your request at least one week before your event.
- Get options by email. We usually reply within one business day with a suggested menu and a quote. For same-day questions, call us; calling beats email.
- Adjust and confirm. Swap dishes, change quantities or add drinks and desserts until it fits your group.
- Pick it up or have it delivered. Collect it from the hall, have it delivered, or bring your group in and eat here.
Ideas by event
Office lunch. A mix that works for a whole team: dumplings and bao from Lao Ma, a few sushi rolls from Akai Hana, and Korean BBQ from Kimchi Xpress, so there's something for picky eaters and adventurous ones.
Birthdays and kids' parties. Korean cheese corn dogs from Sumo Dogs are a hit with kids, and boba or bingsu from Sumo Snow Express doubles as dessert. Add a dumpling combo for the adults.
Team and school events. Wings, K-sliders and Korean tacos from Kimchi Xpress are easy to eat standing up, and California and spicy tuna rolls are easy to portion.
Bigger celebrations. For receptions and corporate events, tell us the headcount and budget and we'll build a spread across all five kitchens.
