Frequently Asked Questions
What does the private sushi chef service include?
Your private sushi experience includes a live sushi bar setup, all premium ingredients, sushi tools, serving ware, and cleanup after the event. Chef Jelo personally prepares a mix of specialty rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and appetizers — tailored to your event and preferences.
How does the service work?
Once you book, we’ll discuss your preferred menu, headcount, and any special requests. On the event day, Chef Jelo arrives 1–2 hours early to set up the sushi station, then prepares sushi live for your guests throughout the event. Cleanup is handled before departure — you don’t lift a finger.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for weekends or large events. However, we do accommodate last-minute bookings if the schedule allows.
What type of events do you cater?
We handle a wide range of events — from intimate dinners and birthday celebrations to corporate gatherings, weddings, and private parties. Every experience is tailored to fit your space, mood, and guest count.
How many guests can you serve?
Chef Jelo can comfortably serve small groups of 6–10 guests for an intimate omakase-style dinner, or up to 150+ guests for larger sushi bar events and catered receptions. Each service is customized based on your event type.
