Sushi has a way of making an event feel elevated. Whether it's an upscale birthday dinner, a corporate event, a wedding reception, or a milestone celebration, a dedicated sushi spread brings a level of sophistication that guests remember. The good news: you don't need a restaurant reservation for 40 people. We'll bring the sushi to you.
HibachiLover Now Offers Sushi Catering
We're known for our live hibachi chef experience, but we've expanded our offerings to include sushi catering for groups of 40 or more. Freshly prepared sushi — rolls, nigiri, and more — served at your home, venue, or event space. It's the same commitment to quality and experience you expect from HibachiLover, applied to a completely different kind of crowd-pleaser.
Availability and pricing vary depending on your location, date, and guest count. Because of the preparation involved and our chef scheduling, we handle sushi catering requests on a case-by-case basis — which means you'll always get a setup built around your specific event rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
What Types of Events Work Best
Sushi catering is a natural fit for events that lean toward a more curated, upscale atmosphere:
- Corporate events and client dinners — sushi stations make networking events feel polished and intentional
- Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners — a sushi spread as a cocktail hour station or second course is a genuinely memorable touch
- Milestone birthdays and anniversaries — for the guest who has strong opinions about their food, sushi catering is the right move
- Graduation parties — a great way to celebrate without the usual cookout routine
- Holiday parties — sushi stands out in a season full of standard catering menus
If your guest count is 40 or more and you want something different from the usual catering options, sushi is worth serious consideration.
Why 40 Guests Minimum?
Sushi catering requires advance preparation, specific ingredients, and dedicated chef time that is different from hibachi cooking. The 40-person minimum ensures we can deploy the right team and resources to deliver a quality spread — not a rushed tray of grocery-store rolls. Below that threshold, the logistics don't line up in a way that lets us do it right.
If your party is on the smaller side, our standard hibachi catering experience starts at just 10 guests and delivers a full live-cook performance that your group will love just as much.
What to Expect from the Experience
Unlike hibachi, where the chef cooks tableside with performance elements, sushi catering is typically set up as a display or station format. Guests walk up, choose what they'd like, and plates are assembled fresh. Depending on your event layout and preference, we can also do passed sushi service.
Because every booking is customized, the exact menu — rolls, nigiri, sashimi, specialty items — is confirmed when we discuss your event. We take dietary restrictions seriously and can work around common requirements.
How to Get Pricing and Availability
Sushi catering pricing isn't posted as a fixed rate because it depends on your location, the menu, and your guest count. The fastest way to get an answer is to reach out directly. Here's what to have ready when you contact us:
- Your event date and location
- Approximate guest count (40 minimum)
- Type of event and any format preferences (station, passed, seated)
- Any dietary restrictions or allergies in your group
We'll confirm availability for your date and send you pricing. Most inquiries get a response within a few hours during business hours.
Can You Combine Sushi and Hibachi?
Yes — and it's a spectacular combination for large events. Imagine a cocktail hour with a sushi station followed by a live hibachi chef cooking the main course. It's a full dining experience that covers every preference in your guest list, and it turns your event into something that genuinely stands out.
If you're interested in a combined hibachi and sushi setup, mention that when you reach out and we'll walk you through how to structure it.
