Sushi for a large group

[Anonymous]

I’m hosting about 20 people for a dinner and want to serve sushi. For both cost and convenience, I don’t want to order rolls from somewhere like I do for my family for dinner. I once ordered catering sushi from Wegmans and didn’t like it at all, so I’m wondering if anyone has done catering for sushi that was great (baldiccis? Whole Foods? A restaurant?)

I’m in Chevy chase but happy to drive a bit.

The Amazon fresh store in Chevy chase lake is usually good but pricy. It really just depends on who makes it.

I would have suggested Wegman's as well. Maybe you had an off day and try again!

Love Sushi in Gaithersburg. I've ordered a bunch of their platters and it's always good.

I don’t understand the question here, you don’t want to order catering from a sushi restaurant because it’s too expensive? Definitely do a different food! Don’t serve grocery store sushi.

Whole Foods and Wegmans both have easy catering platters and such to feed 20 people cheaply and have it be yummy. Don’t give them bad sushi.

Either pay for good sushi or choose something else. Grocery store sushi is gross.

How do you not know there is high end sushi and great fresh regular sushi.

Do you all Anju eat California grill?

What else are you serving besides sushi? Sushi for 20 guests is a large amount.

I don’t want to have to order individual rolls - it’s too hard to figure out how many of each roll to get and some of the rolls are $20 each, which would get expensive. I just want a place where I can order a platter of sushi and a bunch of nigiri. We are also serving appetizers (charcuterie, edamame, smoked salmon canapé) and some salads.

If you are willing to cross the Potomac, Tachibana.

Sushi Toro in Rockville is great.

If you live in Chevy Chase you can afford real sushi for guests. Grocery store sushi is flavorless at best and gross at worst.

If I were going to a dinner party and the hosts served grocery store sushi I’d think they are cheap. Either don’t do it at all or do it decently. There’s other high quality food for less than sushi if budget is a concern.

Order a large platter or two from Yuraku in Germantown. So fresh and so good.

For sushi parties, I've ordered from:

1. Kanpai Sushi on MacArthur (Bethesda). It's my favorite because it's always fresh and traditional, and as sushi goes, the price is reasonable. No fusion or modern sushi. Order at least 24hrs in advance.

2. Sushi Toro on Nicholson (Rockville). More modern combinations (that people seem to like, not me), pretty good, flowers on the platters. You can order day-of.
