Frequently Asked Questions
Why have a Sushi Chef at my party?
Our Professional Sushi Chefs are prepared to entertain all of your guests with not only their sushi
preparation skills but with their outgoing and friendly personalities. It truly shows that they love
what they do and will certainly be the life of any occasion. A chef preparing sushi in front of your
guests shows them that you care enough to give them the very best.
Do you cater outside of San Diego County?
Yes! We regularly travel outside of San Diego County to cater special events. We service areas in
Palm Springs, Orange County, Long Beach, and Los Angeles. We even catered a small intimate
wedding in Kailua, Hawaii! There's a 15 guests minimum for all events outside of San Diego County.
How does a sushi party work?
Sushi is a unique dining experience, best when used in a social setting. Because sushi is bite-sized,
your guests can socialize with others while still enjoying their delicious treats. Our Sushi Chefs
prepare the delicious delights right in front of you and your guests with superior knife and hand
precision. You bring the guests and we’ll do the rest! Our chefs will arrive early to begin preparation
of the sushi ingredients. When your guests arrive, samples of his creations will be ready to enjoy
when they walk up to the station, and they can watch him prepare more. And just like at a
restaurant sushi bar, your guests can interact and chat with our chefs.
How much sushi should I order for my guests?
There are plenty of variables that go into planning your perfect sushi experience. When deciding the
amount of sushi, consider whether you are serving other food besides sushi, whether your guests are
novice sushi eaters or beginners, and ask yourself if the sushi is being served as an appetizer or a main
course. Budget is also a factor and we can customize any menu to fit your needs. Of course, if you’re
feeding the offensive line of a football team, you might want to add a little more to the menu.
I want a party with a personal Sushi Chef, what’s included?
Aside from the sushi product and cold sushi case, the Sushi Chef will also provide the soy sauce,
chopsticks, b&b plates, wasabi and pickled ginger. Personality and smiles from our Sushi Chefs and
staff are FREE!

Sushi Affair offers an array of sushi platters for all occasions. You can choose from our assortment
of sushi platters or customize your own with special flair. We can even customize a Spam Musubi

Sushi Affair offers a variety of cooked rolls such as our delicious Baked Pizza Roll and Spicy Shrimp
Tempura Roll, or you can try our classics like the California Roll or Philadelphia Roll. We also offer a
selection of Veggie Rolls for our health conscious and vegetarian tastes. If your guests are sushi
“virgins” don’t worry… our Sushi Chefs will educate them on everything they need to know before
they take the “plunge” into the wonderful world of sushi.

Wine) to accompany their sushi. You may elect to serve Soju, Plum wine or even Pomegranate wine.

What do I need to provide for the sushi party?
We ask that our client’s provide one 6-foot table (preferably dressed) and one 110-watt outlet so that
we may access electricity for our cold sushi case. In addition, we also ask that you provide napkins and
plates to complement any theme or decor you choose for your event.
When’s the latest I can make changes to an order or menu?
All changes should be made no later than 48 hours prior to the event. This will allow us time to keep a
close inventory of the supplies needed to successfully fulfill your desires and insure freshness for all
our ingredients.
How fresh is the sushi?
All our sushi are made fresh just before a party and during the party. Sushi Affair prides itself in obtaining
the freshest sushi-grade fish in Southern California. We go above and beyond all practices to ensure
proper handling set forth by the San Diego Health Department.
Can sushi be served outdoors?
Absolutely…YES! What better way to celebrate your sunset wedding than having a live Sushi Chef creating
rolls and nigiri right in front of your guests? Or a backyard bash with loved ones and friends complete with
a walk up sushi bar? We do ask to be placed in a shaded area or under a tent in order to keep the sushi
(and our chef’s heads) cool. Sushi bars add elegance and sophistication to any outdoor event.
What do I do with leftover sushi?
We encourage all sushi to be eaten at its freshest, which is when it’s being made. However, if you have
leftovers, refrigerate immediately, tightly wrap the container with plastic wrap for up to 2-3 hours. This
will keep the rice from becoming hard. Sashimi (fish only) can be kept refrigerated for up to 5 hours if
placed into a sealed container. Trust us…in most cases, there won’t be any left.
