The rolls get the photos, but the sides win the table. Here are the Yokomo dishes that quietly disappear first — and the ones that cater beautifully. Through SIFU Hibachi & Sushi Catering, every one of them can travel to your event.
Everyone orders the signature rolls. Smart people order the sides too. At Yokomo, the supporting cast is doing just as much work as the headliners — and when it comes to catering, the sides are often the dishes that hold up best on the way to your event.
Here's what to reach for.
Garlic Noodles — Order Them, Trust Us
If there's one side that regulars won't skip, it's the garlic noodles. Silky, glossy, deeply savory, and quietly addictive — the kind of dish that's gone before you realize you've been reaching for it. They travel well, reheat gracefully, and stretch across a big table, which makes them a catering natural.
Fried Rice, Two Ways
Yokomo does fried rice with the same two-cultures logic as everything else:
House fried rice — the Japanese-leaning version, clean and savory
Dominican fried rice — bigger, bolder, with the Caribbean seasoning that makes it distinctly Yokomo
Both scale effortlessly for a crowd and pair with hibachi proteins as naturally as they do with the rolls.
Sweet Plantains & Fried Cheese
The two ingredients that define Yokomo's whole identity also make a killer side. Sweet plantains bring caramelized sweetness; fried cheese brings crisp-then-molten salt. Together they're the flavor thread that runs through the signature rolls, served straight — and they're crowd-pleasers for guests who want something familiar and something new at the same time.
Dumplings, Spring Rolls & Crab Rangoon
The classic sushi-bar starters, done right — and ideal for catering because they're built to be eaten by hand, stay good at room temperature, and let guests graze while the mains get going.
Why the Sides Matter for Catering
Delicate raw sushi is best enjoyed fresh at the restaurant. The sides, on the other hand, are made to travel — which is why Yokomo's garlic noodles, fried rice, plantains and starters all made the SIFU × Yokomo catering add-on menu. They arrive fresh alongside your SIFU hibachi and sushi, fill out the table, and give your guests the full range of what Dominican-Japanese fusion can do.
Round out your spread. Add Yokomo's sides to a SIFU catering order — garlic noodles, fried rice, plantains and more, delivered fresh with your hibachi and sushi.
