Asian tray for a company after-work event in Paris: where to order, how much to plan

Makis, California rolls, spring rolls, gyozas, yakitori: where to order an Asian tray for an after-work event in Paris, how many pieces to plan and what budget for 10, 20 or 50 people.

For a company after-work event in Paris, an Asian tray is best ordered from a caterer who delivers it arranged and on time, rather than from a restaurant: you need 8 to 12 pieces per person for two hours, and pieces that can be eaten standing up. L'Écrin Traiteur delivers an Asiatique tray (makis, California rolls, spring rolls, gyozas, yakitori), halal and pork-free, price on quote, in Paris and Île-de-France. To taste the benchmarks of the genre, Charbon Kunitoraya (yakitori) and Gyoza Bar (gyozas) are well-regarded addresses.

Where to order an Asian tray in Paris? Our selection

1. L'Écrin Traiteur's Asiatique tray

Transparency: this is our tray, so our opinion is not neutral. It brings together five recipes: makis, California rolls, spring rolls, gyozas and yakitori skewers, with soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. Everything can be picked up with the fingertips. Like our entire menu, it is halal and pork-free, which matters for gyozas, as they may contain pork elsewhere. It is delivered arranged, at the time requested, price on quote depending on numbers.

2. Charbon Kunitoraya, for yakitori

At 5 rue Villedo, in the 1st arrondissement, this restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide selection. Its speciality: yakitori made with Bresse chicken. An address for a team dinner, not for delivery to the office.

3. Gyoza Bar, for gyozas

Described by Le Bonbon as the first Paris restaurant specialising in gyozas, it has two addresses: 56 passage des Panoramas (2nd arrondissement) and 38 rue de Saintonge (3rd arrondissement). The gyozas are homemade, steamed then grilled.

4. Sushi Shop, for delivered sushi boxes

The chain delivers sushi platters ordered online, for example a 23-piece box. Handy for a small group; for 30 or 50 people, you have to multiply the boxes and open them one by one.

How to recognise a good Asian tray?

CriterionWhat to look for
The raw fishIt must have been frozen to the core, −20 °C for 24 hours, against the anisakis parasite (European Regulation 853/2004). Ask your caterer.
The riceLukewarm to room temperature, separate grains, tightly rolled: a maki should not fall apart in the sauce.
The mixCold pieces (makis, California rolls) and cooked pieces (gyozas, yakitori, spring rolls): not everyone eats raw fish.
The meatGyozas may contain pork. Check the ingredients if some guests do not eat pork.
The formatOne bite per piece, no cutlery. Sauces in small dishes, not poured over the tray.

How many pieces to plan and what budget for 10, 20 or 50 people?

For end-of-day drinks, allow 4 to 6 pieces per person per hour. A 2-hour after-work event therefore needs 8 to 12 pieces per person; if it replaces dinner, go up to 16 to 18 pieces. As the Asiatique tray is priced on quote, the budget below uses our L'Invitation cocktail reception package (8 savoury and sweet pieces, €29.90 excl. VAT per person) as a costed benchmark. Delivery costs €29 excl. VAT.

Drinks guide: 1 litre of juice for 4 people, one 75 cl bottle of water for 5. Alain Milliat juice costs from €9.50 excl. VAT per litre. The Asiatique tray is added to the package or partly replaces it: the quote gives the exact figure. €50 minimum order (excl. VAT); from 50 people, order 48 hours in advance. Other formats are in our guide after-work ideas.
