The potluck math

At a potluck, sushi is one dish among many. Plan for smaller per-person quantities and start with the platters that have the most pieces: the Mixed Combo at 46 pieces and the California at 32 both spread further than their price suggests.

If sushi is the meal, the arithmetic changes and you want closer to a platter for every three or four adults. Use the planner, or call the store to talk it through.

Kids, grandparents and everyone in between

Mixed generations are the norm in Hawaiʻi. Ask the store what suits guests who are not eating raw fish, and the aburi platters land well with people who like their sushi warm and a little smoky.

Use the planner for the headcount, and tell the store how many guests skip raw fish.
