SUSHI AFFAIR

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!

                What kind of sushi platters do you offer?
                    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
                    platter 
if needed! Minimum order required.

                What if I don’t eat raw fish?
                    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.

                What if some of my guest don’t eat sushi?
                    We offer a world class catering menu that includes appetizers, entrees and even desserts.  Ask one 
                    of 
our personable Account Mangers about our menu.  We’re sure you’ll find something for everyone.  
                    Don’t 
worry, if some of your guests are not ready for sushi, we can cook up some darn great steak 
                    and potatoes!  

        
                What beverages should I serve with the sushi?
                    Most clients enjoy a nice cold Asian beer (Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo, Tsing Tao) and/or sake (Japanese Rice 
                    Wine) to accompany their sushi.  You may elect to serve Soju, Plum wine or even Pomegranate wine.  
                    If you are unsure of what kind of sake to buy, please click on the link for information on sake basics
                     http://sakeexpert.com/sakebasics.php
   
                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.

                    Disclaimer - Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, shellfish, egg or seafood may
                                            increase your risk of food borne illness.
