Celebration of Life

Food for gathering, grieving, and remembering.

One less thing for your family to carry. We’ve served Honolulu’s memorial gatherings for decades.

When family gathers to remember someone, the food should take care of itself. For decades, Honolulu families have trusted Yama’s to quietly handle the table — comforting, familiar local food, ready when and where it’s needed.

We keep it simple: you tell us the headcount and where to bring it, and we take it from there. Delivery to church halls, homes, and venues across Oʻahu, or pickup at our Young Street shop.

The table

Comforting, familiar, taken care of.

Party math

A simple guide for planning.

For a reception of 50, a two-entrée spread with rice, mac salad, and dessert runs about $820 at current prices — roughly $16.40 per person.

Our standard lead time is 7 days, but services often can’t wait — call us at (808) 941-9994 and we’ll do everything we can on your timeline.

Prices shown are from our live catering menu as of August 2026 and can change with the market — the online catering menu always has today's prices.
