Skip the impossible reservation and the six-week waitlist. A vetted sushi chef brings the fish, sets up at your kitchen counter, and serves nigiri, sashimi, and hand rolls one piece at a time, exactly at temperature. It is the omakase night out, hosted in.
A sushi chef at home is a private chef who prepares and serves sushi in your kitchen, usually as an omakase where the chef chooses the courses. They bring sushi-grade fish, rice, and tools, slice and plate at your counter, and serve each piece the moment it is ready. Most in-home sushi experiences run $85 to $250 per guest depending on the fish and the number of courses.
Chefpost matches you with background-checked sushi chefs who can do a quiet omakase tasting for two or a hand-roll spread for a party. You browse chefs and read real reviews before you book, and the chef handles the shopping, the prep, the service, and the cleanup.
Two quick definitions so you know exactly what you are booking.
Takeout sits in a box and travels. An in-home sushi chef slices to order and hands you each piece at its peak, when the rice is still warm and the fish is at temperature. You also get the theater of the counter, the story behind each cut, and the pacing of a real omakase, without a reservation or a bar seat you fought to get.

An honest take from the Chefpost team.
“The best sushi is a race against time. The second a piece of nigiri is made, it starts to change, so a great omakase is really about proximity. At a restaurant you are one of twelve seats. At home you are the only seat, the fish travels three feet instead of thirty, and nobody is rushing you out for the next reservation.”
