If you’ve ever wished you could try a little bit of everything without ordering full sushi rolls, the Tray Party Box at FOB Sushi Bar is made for you.
This box has quickly become one of the most talked-about items at the restaurant—and for good reason.
It’s big, flexible, affordable, and fun. Some people buy it to share. Others buy it for themselves and feel zero regret. Either way, the Tray Party Box delivers a sushi experience that feels generous, fresh, and worth the wait.
Let’s break down why this box has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
What Is the Tray Party Box?
The Tray Party Box is a large takeout box that lets you load up sushi by weight. Instead of choosing just one roll, you get to build your own mix.
Inside the box, people usually add:
- Sushi rolls
- Nigiri
- Gunkan
- Inari (often called “inari bombs”)
You move down the sushi line, use clean tongs, and pick exactly what you want. When you’re done, the box is weighed, and you pay based on the total weight.
Simple. Fast. No guessing.
Why People Love This Concept
One of the biggest problems with traditional sushi is commitment. You order a full roll and hope you like it. At FOB Sushi Bar, that problem disappears.
With the Tray Party Box, you can:
- Try many flavors in one box
- Avoid wasting food
- Customize for your taste
- Share easily with friends or family
Customers often say this is the most fun part of the experience. You feel in control, and the process itself feels exciting.
Portion Size That Feels Generous
Let’s talk about size.
The Tray Party Box can hold around 25–30 pieces, depending on what you choose. Many customers say it’s perfect for:
- Two very hungry people
- Three people sharing
- A solo sushi lover who wants leftovers
Some guests waited close to an hour for a party box during busy times—and still said it was worth it. That tells you how satisfying the final result feels.
Price That Makes Sense in Seattle
Seattle sushi can be expensive. That’s why so many people are surprised by the value here.
At around $14.99 per pound, the Tray Party Box often comes out far cheaper than dining at a traditional sushi restaurant. Several customers mentioned paying around $55–$60 for a full party box, which would easily cost much more elsewhere.
For the amount of food and variety you get, most people feel the price is more than fair.
Freshness You Can Trust
A common concern with self-serve sushi is freshness. FOB Sushi Bar handles this well.
The restaurant stays busy almost all day, which means:
- Sushi doesn’t sit out long
- Trays are constantly refreshed
- Staff replaces low or empty items quickly
Many guests notice the staff wiping counters, rotating trays, and keeping everything neat. This builds trust, especially when you’re picking your own food.
Several customers even mention eating the sushi plain—no soy sauce—because the flavor and temperature felt just right.
Great for Takeout and On-the-Go
While there is limited seating inside and a few spots outside, most people buy the Tray Party Box to go.
It’s perfect for:
- Office lunches
- Picnics
- Eating in your car
- Taking home for dinner
The box comes with a lid, making it easy to transport. There’s also a self-serve station where you can grab:
- Soy sauce
- Wasabi
- Pickled ginger
- Eel sauce
- Spicy mayo
You customize the sauces just like you customize the sushi.
The Line: Long but Worth It
Yes, there is often a line. Sometimes even on weekdays.
But nearly everyone agrees on two things:
- The line moves fast
- The food is worth the wait
Staff are efficient, friendly, and keep things moving. Many people say they’ve waited 20–60 minutes and still left happy.
If you want to avoid peak crowds, going earlier in the day helps.
Variety Is the Real Star
What makes the Tray Party Box special isn’t just size—it’s variety.
You can mix:
- Salmon
- Yellowtail
- Cooked options
- Spicy bites
- Sweet inari
Some guests even say the best pieces are toward the end of the line, which makes the experience feel like a fun discovery.
No two boxes look the same, and that’s part of the charm.
A Few Honest Notes
No place is perfect, and customers do share small issues:
- Rice texture can vary day to day
- Seating is limited
- Lines require patience
But even reviews that mention these points still praise the value, freshness, and concept. Many people come back again—and again.
Who Should Order the Tray Party Box?
This box is perfect for:
- Groups who want to share
- Sushi lovers who want variety
- People who don’t want full rolls
- Anyone hosting a casual get-together
- Sushi fans looking for value
It’s also a great choice if you’re new to sushi and want to explore without pressure.
Final Thoughts
The Tray Party Box at FOB Sushi Bar delivers what many sushi lovers want but rarely get: freedom, freshness, and fair pricing.
It turns sushi into a fun, build-your-own experience without sacrificing quality.
If you’re in Seattle and want sushi that feels generous, customizable, and satisfying, this box is hard to beat. Just be ready to wait—and be very happy once you open that lid.
