We are
The Biggest Fish In Corp. Team Building And Private Events
We want to provide more than “the best sushi” people have ever had (although we hear that often.) We want to provide an emotional experience that connects people to others and raises their spirits, whether in our classes or through our catering. We’re in the continuous business of learning how to do that effectively.
FAQ
Q: How much does an event cost?
All events have a $2,000 minimum. Per-guest pricing typically ranges from $125 to $200, depending on the type of experience — hands-on classes are at the lower end, while chef-prepared sushi dinners and live bars with premium fish are at the upper end (omakase-style events may run higher). We provide a clear, all-in quote with no hidden fees.
Q: What group sizes do you serve?
We host everything from small executive teams to large company events — typically from around 10 guests up to several hundred, scaled with additional chefs and staff. There's no fixed maximum; tell us your headcount and we'll build the right setup.
Q: What areas do you serve?
We serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto, San Carlos, Santa Clara, Oakland, and the surrounding Peninsula and East Bay. We come to your office, home, or event venue, and can recommend venues if you need one. A travel fee applies for locations outside our core area.
Q: What's included?
Your quote includes the sushi chef(s), all fresh ingredients and fish, preparation, and on-site setup. Optional add-ons include premium fish flown in from Toyosu Market in Japan, sashimi upgrades, a tempura bar, alcohol coordination, and dessert. We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs with dedicated menu options.
Q: Can I learn if I'm outside the Bay Area?
Yes. Our online sushi class lets teams and individuals anywhere join a live, chef-led session, and we can ship a sushi kit to your door.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking two to four weeks ahead, and earlier for large events or peak season (fall and spring book up fastest). Last-minute events may be possible with a short-notice booking fee.
Q: How do I book or get a quote?
Tell us your date, group size, location, and the type of experience you have in mind, and we'll send a detailed, all-in proposal. [Plan My Event →]
