How much is hibachi catering per person?

SIFU works out to about $40 per guest at the 20-guest package, and every guest receives chicken, steak, and shrimp rather than a single protein choice. Fuel, travel, setup, a professional hibachi chef, and a dedicated event attendant are all included. Guests added between package tiers are $50 each.

How much does hibachi at home cost in Rhode Island?

SIFU's Signature Hibachi is $800 for up to 20 guests, $1,600 for up to 40, and $2,400 for up to 60, with $50 per additional in-between guest. Every guest gets chicken, steak, and shrimp plus all the traditional sides. Fuel, travel, and setup within our standard service area are included, with no hidden fees. The quote you approve is what you pay.

What is included in SIFU's hibachi catering?

The full hibachi menu for every guest: chicken, steak, and shrimp, plus fried rice, noodles, hibachi vegetables, salad, edamame, and signature sauces. Every event also includes a professional hibachi chef, a dedicated event attendant who handles food distribution and cleanup, and complete setup and breakdown. Premium upgrades such as filet mignon, salmon, scallops, and lobster tail are available.

Can SIFU serve alcohol at my event in Rhode Island?

Yes. SIFU holds a Rhode Island Class P caterer's liquor license, so we can provide and serve alcohol with professional bartenders, craft cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits, with liquor liability covered. Most at-home catering companies cannot legally pour a drink. With SIFU, the food and the bar run on one vendor and one invoice. Bar service is priced as a separate add-on. Contact us for a quote.

Can I add a sushi bar to my hibachi event?

Yes. A chef-crafted sushi bar can be added to any hibachi package, with fresh rolls made on site and sized to your guest count, or booked on its own. Pairing live-fire hibachi with a fresh sushi bar is something most at-home hibachi caterers cannot offer. Contact us for sushi options and pricing.

What is the difference between White Glove Service and White Glove Concierge?

White Glove Service is a $300 add-on that brings additional hospitality staff to any package for a smoother, more hands-off event. White Glove Concierge is a separate premium package starting at $1,600 for up to 20 guests, built around personalized planning, a full sit-down setup with tables, chairs, linens, place settings, and decor, and premium protein upgrades including Wagyu, lobster, and scallops. Because Concierge is tailored to each event, contact us for a personalized quote.

Does SIFU offer drop-off catering without a live chef?

Yes. Drop-off catering is delivered to your event without an on-site chef or live cooking, starting at a $500 minimum. Orders can combine dishes from the SIFU kitchen and our partner kitchens, including Mediterranean and Dominican-Japanese fusion, delivered together as one order. Hibachi is optional rather than required. Contact us for menus and delivery details.

Does SIFU cater weddings, corporate events, and large parties?

Yes. SIFU serves events from 10 to 600 guests, with multiple hibachi stations, dedicated attendants, licensed bar service, and custom event planning for weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, conferences, and large private parties. Contact us for a custom quote and capacity planning.

What areas does SIFU Catering serve?

SIFU is a mobile caterer based at 24 Haven Ave in Cranston, Rhode Island, serving Rhode Island along with nearby southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut, generally within about 35 miles of Cranston. That covers Providence, Newport, Warwick, Cranston, Barrington, East Greenwich, Seekonk, Attleboro, Fall River, and surrounding towns. We come to your home or venue. Contact us about locations outside that range.

Is there a deposit to book?

For parties under 20 guests there is no deposit, and you pay your chef on the day once the grill is set up. For weddings and larger events, a fully refundable hold secures your date and locks your price. Contact us to confirm current booking terms.

When you cater an event with the SIFU × Aviv partnership, you're getting two kitchens at one table — live hibachi and sushi from SIFU Hibachi & Sushi Catering, plus the full Mediterranean and Middle Eastern menu from Tel Aviv Waterfront. This unique combination ensures that your guests will enjoy a diverse and unforgettable culinary experience. Here’s a guide to what the Aviv side brings to your event — the dishes guests reach for, grouped by course so you can plan a spread everyone remembers.

Appetizers & Shareable Boards

The Aviv appetizer lineup is built for grazing — perfect for the opening stretch of a party. The sesame seared ahi tuna is a standout, alongside lamb lollipops, Point Judith calamari, coconut shrimp, Thai chicken satay, and baked feta dip. For grazing tables, the Mediterranean board and the cheese & charcuterie board anchor the room, with classic mezze — hummus plate, baba ghanoush, grape leaves — rounding it out. Clam cakes and hand-cut crispy fries cover the crowd-pleasers.

Perfect for Any Gathering

These appetizers are not just delicious; they are also designed for sharing. Guests can mingle and enjoy a variety of flavors. The combination of textures and tastes will keep everyone satisfied.

Tacos & Sliders

Aviv's tacos come three to an order on soft shells, with choices spanning seared ahi tuna, shawarma, grilled chicken, shrimp, and steak. The slider board pairs peppered beef and falafel, two per order. Both travel well to a catered setting and give guests a handheld option between the bigger plates.

A Flavorful Twist

These tacos and sliders are not just ordinary. They bring a flavorful twist to your event. Each bite is packed with taste, making them a hit among guests. They are perfect for those who want something quick yet satisfying.

Gourmet Plates & Dinner Entrées

For seated dinners and plated service, the Aviv kitchen goes deep: CAB Prime bavette steak, ahi tuna with red pepper noodles, grilled Atlantic salmon, seared U-10 dry scallops, naturally raised airline chicken breast, crispy chicken Milanese, shrimp fra diavolo, and potato gnocchi. It's the range that lets a single event serve steak eaters, seafood lovers, and pasta fans without anyone settling.

A Culinary Journey

With such a wide variety of gourmet plates, your guests will embark on a culinary journey. Each dish is crafted with care, ensuring quality and flavor. This selection allows everyone to find something they love, making your event memorable.

Salads

Salad options include Greek, caprese, classic Caesar, arugula, and a house salad — easy to scale for a group and simple to add protein to (falafel, chicken, salmon, shrimp, ahi tuna, or prime bavette steak).

Fresh and Flavorful

Salads are a refreshing addition to any meal. They bring a burst of freshness and color to your spread. Plus, with the option to add protein, they can easily satisfy any appetite.

Dessert

Finish with khanafeh for two, the warm cheese-and-syrup Middle Eastern classic, or the dessert pizza — plus a rotating daily special dessert worth asking about.

Sweet Endings

Desserts are the perfect way to wrap up your event. They leave a lasting impression and provide a sweet ending to the meal. Guests will love indulging in these delightful treats.
