Does this fit your event?

Three shapes we run most often.

Find the one nearest yours. The numbers are what we would actually plan to.

40guests

A backyard birthday

The size most of our Saturdays are. One station in the garden or the kitchen, and the bar becomes where everyone stands.

A wedding reception

Cocktail hour or the late-night course. We add a third chef so the bar keeps pace with a room that arrives all at once.

A gala or a multi-day run

Past this the answer stops being a form. We plan the station count and how service is staged with you, then quote it.

What's included

We bring all of it. You bring the guest list.

Two chefs at the bar

Rolling made to order for the whole service, not plating in a back room.

Two hours of live service

Plus 30 to 60 minutes of setup before your first guest arrives.

2 signature sauces

House Nikiri Soy and House Nikiri Yuzu, made in house and brushed on every roll.

The whole station

Tables, linens, serviceware, the bar itself. We set it up and we take it away.

What your space needs

Less room than you think.

  • A flat, dry area roughly 12 × 6 ft, with no stairs to reach it
  • Two standard 120v outlets nearby
  • Lighting for evening events, and cover if there's any chance of rain
  • We arrive 30–60 min early; live service runs up to 2 hours

After you send it

Three steps, and only one of them is yours.

01You send the details

Date, rough guest count, where it is, and anything you already know about the menu. Two minutes.

02We come back with a proposal

Menu, staffing, timings and a full price with the travel and service fee already in it. No line items appear later.

03A deposit holds the date

Only once the proposal is right. Until then nothing is booked and nothing is owed.

  • 40% deposit holds your date
  • Balance due by the end of service; tipping is optional
  • Certificate of Insurance available on request after the deposit
  • 150-item minimum · 7 days' lead time (14 in NYC, NJ & Philly)
  • $3/mile travel from the nearer kitchen
  • Kitchens in Herndon, VA (50-mile radius) and Sayreville, NJ (70-mile radius)

Larger or custom

Let's build something bigger.

Weddings, galas, multi-station setups, a menu that isn't on the menu. Tell us the shape of it and we will come back with a proposal.
