Sushi catering in Chapel Hill with Sora Eats runs roughly $6 to $10 per person for a platter-style appetizer spread, and about $20 per person when sushi is the main course. The exact number depends on the platter size and how many guests you're feeding.
Here's how our published platter prices break down per person, based on typical serving sizes for each tier. These are estimates from our standard menu pricing, not exact quotes, since guest count and event type change the math.
| Platter | Size | Price | Typical Guests | Est. Per Person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Platter | 5 rolls / 30 pieces | $45 | 6-8 (light grazing) | ~$5.63-$7.50 |
| Balanced Platter | 10 rolls / 60 pieces | $115 | 12-15 (appetizer) | ~$7.67-$9.58 |
| Full Platter | 15 rolls / 90 pieces | $300 | 15 (main course) | ~$20.00 |
| Corporate Platter | 120 rolls / ~720 pieces | $2,000 | 120-180 (appetizer) | ~$11.11-$16.67 |
Per-person figures are estimates calculated from published platter pricing and typical serving sizes. Full-service catering with on-site chefs, a live sushi bar, and serving staff is quoted separately — request a custom quote for your event.
The biggest factor is whether sushi is the main course or one part of a bigger spread. If sushi is the star of the meal, plan for 8-10 pieces per person, which pushes the per-person cost toward $20. If it's cocktail-hour grazing alongside other food, 4-6 pieces per person is plenty, which is why our larger platters land closer to $6-$10 a head.
The second factor is service style. A pre-made platter, delivered and set out, costs less per person than a live sushi bar with an on-site chef rolling to order throughout your event. Live bars are priced separately because they include staffing, equipment, and setup time, not just food cost.
