Sushi Catering for Office Events in Hong Kong

Sushi is the easiest catering choice for an office because it arrives ready to eat, needs no reheating and suits a standing room. For planning, budget HKD 120 to HKD 150 per head for a chain catering set and HKD 200 or more for specialist catering, and order four to seven days ahead.

1. Chain catering sets: the default office order

Sushiro

Sushiro's catering sets are the most office-friendly published option. A set for 8 to 10 guests at HKD 1,200 covers salmon, yellowtail, red shrimp, fried scallion red shrimp, surf clam, squid, sukiyaki beef ribs, fried shrimp avocado rolls, scallops, tamago, broiled cheese and basil salmon, gunkan and fried sides, plus ten canned drinks. A set for 16 to 20 guests runs HKD 2,376.

Two things make this suit an office: cooked items for colleagues who avoid raw fish, and drinks included so nobody has to run out for them.

sen-ryo

Better for a smarter meeting. Published listings include a premium eight-piece platter from HKD 198, a supreme twelve-piece at HKD 365, an 18-piece premium at HKD 638, a 22-piece platter from HKD 468 and a 42-piece special platter at HKD 1,238, plus pick-and-mix platters from HKD 72 for four pieces. Large platters require seven days' notice.

Sushi To and Genki Sushi

For a small team, Sushi To lists a 16-piece signature platter at HKD 188 and 9-piece platters at HKD 108 to HKD 128. Genki runs a party-set range with seasonal editions, useful for a low-cost desk lunch.

2. Specialist caterers for client-facing events

Higasa Sushi caters corporate events on Hong Kong Island with customisable platters, booking by WhatsApp or email, and a minimum of four days' notice. Its partner-published pricing gives a clear benchmark: a 42-piece maki platter at HKD 285, a 45-piece nigiri platter at HKD 615, and a 15-guest party menu at HKD 3,220 for roughly 225 pieces, or about HKD 215 per guest.

General Hong Kong caterers also carry sushi within broader menus, with maki platters listed from around HKD 900, and platter services advertising from about HKD 26 per person for non-sushi items with same-day availability.

3. How much to order for an office

• Working lunch, sushi as the meal: 10 to 12 pieces per person.
• Afternoon or evening reception with other food: 4 to 6 pieces per person.
• Team of 10 as a meal: roughly 100 to 120 pieces, or one chain catering set.
• Team of 20 as a meal: the HKD 2,376 set, or two 42-piece platters plus sides.
• Client meeting of 6: a premium 18-piece platter plus a sashimi tray.

Full guidance is in how much sushi to order per person.

4. Ordering checklist for an office manager

1. Order four to seven days ahead; seven for large platters and holiday weeks.
2. Confirm a delivery window that lands 20 to 30 minutes before you serve.
3. Give building access details, loading-bay rules and a mobile number for the courier.
4. Ask for cooked and vegetarian items for colleagues who avoid raw fish.
5. Collect allergy information in advance, especially shellfish.
6. Confirm whether soy, wasabi, ginger, plates, chopsticks and napkins are included.
7. Get the invoice, payment method and cancellation terms in writing for finance.

5. The refrigeration problem in an office

This is where office sushi goes wrong. Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety classifies sushi and sashimi as high-risk foods, with no heat treatment to kill pathogens or parasites, and identifies 4°C to 60°C as the temperature danger zone. A conference room is inside that band, and an air-conditioned office is not a refrigerator.

• Have the delivery arrive as close to serving time as possible.
• Refrigerate immediately if it arrives early, and keep platters sealed.
• Serve raw fish within two hours of it leaving refrigeration.
• Split a large order so the second platter stays chilled until needed.
• Discard leftovers at the end of the event rather than putting them in the office fridge for tomorrow.
• Label cooked and vegetarian items clearly so guests can choose safely.

6. Frequently asked questions

What is the best value office order?

A chain catering set at HKD 1,200 for 8 to 10 people including drinks, which works out near HKD 120 to HKD 150 per head.

Can I order same-day for an office?

Small platters, sometimes. Catering sets and specialist orders need days of notice; see lead times and cancellation policies.

What if colleagues do not eat raw fish?

Order a set with cooked items, or add tamago, unagi, tempura rolls and inari. See sushi without raw fish.

Is a supermarket platter acceptable for an office?

For an internal team lunch, yes, and it is far cheaper. See best supermarket and deli sushi platters.
