We bring the grill, the chef and the full fire show to your Los Angeles home. Your guests stay where they are; the restaurant comes to them. Grass-fed beef, organic air-chilled chicken, and a chef who turns dinner into the reason people came.
We cover Los Angeles County from Pasadena and Arcadia through Downtown, Silver Lake and the Westside, down to Long Beach and the South Bay. Regular stops include Whittier, Downey, Cerritos, Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, Diamond Bar, Walnut, Glendale, Burbank, Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach. First 50 miles of travel are free.
We arrive about 30 minutes early and set up a portable teppanyaki grill on your patio, driveway or lawn. Cooking and the show run about an hour. Then we pack up, wipe down and leave the space exactly as we found it. Most parties run two hours end to end.
Our grill setup needs about 8 by 8 feet and we work around narrow side gates and stairs.
A courtyard, rooftop deck or shared patio works as long as open-flame cooking is allowed and there is ventilation. Check with your building first.
Confirm with the host that outdoor cooking is permitted and that there is somewhere to park and unload.
Most LA hibachi caterers look the same on a search results page. These are the things worth actually asking about before you book.
We carry $1M general liability insurance. Certificate of insurance available on request - ask any caterer for theirs before they light a grill in your backyard.
Our event minimum is $400, with an 8 guest minimum. Most LA hibachi caterers set theirs at $550-600, which quietly rules out anything under ten guests.
Tables, chairs and place settings are available as an add-on. Many caterers in Los Angeles expect you to have all of it ready before they arrive.
100% grass-fed beef and organic, air-chilled, free-range chicken. Not "fresh" or "all-natural" - the actual sourcing.
We're a family operation, not a national dispatch network. You'll know who is showing up.
The number in our calculator is the number you pay. Setup, cleanup, sake and 9% sales tax are already in it. Gratuity is not included.
Every party is priced the same way, so there is nothing to guess at. Pick your guest count, your date and any upgrades in the calculator and you will see the full total before you talk to anyone.
For a private party at a private residence, no permit is required of you. We bring our own equipment and handle it safely, and we carry $1M general liability insurance. Certificate available on request.
We need one parking space near the entrance to unload. If street parking is tight, let us know when you book and we will plan for a shorter carry.
Only if the building allows open-flame cooking and there is proper ventilation and clearance. Please confirm with your HOA or building manager before booking.
Two to three weeks is comfortable. Saturdays and holiday weekends fill first.
Three things people forget to check: whether the caterer carries liability insurance, what the event minimum is, and whether tables and chairs are included or expected from you. Those three account for most of the unpleasant surprises. Ask for a certificate of insurance and a full written total before you pay a deposit.
Most Los Angeles hibachi caterers start between $55 and $60 per guest, with event minimums around $550 to $600. Our calculator gives you an exact total for your guest count and date in a few seconds - no form, no waiting.
