FAQ

The chef arrives early, sets up the hibachi grill, and starts at the time you booked. Most parties run 1 to 1.5 hours. Available times are 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 9:30 PM.

The cooking show is outdoors. Plan on about 4 × 6 feet for the grill, plus room for your guests to sit and watch. If the space is tight, call and we will look at the address before confirming.

The booking minimum is $600, even when the headcount total is lower. Ten adults on Standard is $600. The minimum includes travel inside our service area. Gratuity is separate, and the final price can still change with the menu, address, rentals, or upgrades.

Every set includes a private chef, the hibachi grill, the food, fried rice, vegetables, salad, yum yum, soy, and teriyaki, plus the live cooking show. Standard is $60 for adults and $30 for children, and each guest chooses 2 proteins. Premium is $80 and $40, choose 3. Deluxe is $120 and $60, choose 3.

Standard choices are chicken, New York steak, premium shrimp, premium scallops, salmon, and tofu. Premium adds filet mignon and select lobster. Deluxe adds A5 Wagyu, jumbo shrimp, and jumbo scallops. Garlic noodles or edamame can be added for $5. A filet mignon upgrade is $5, and a lobster upgrade is $10.

Children 13 and under use the child price on the same package as the adults: $30 on Standard, $40 on Premium, and $60 on Deluxe. Tell us the child count when you request a quote.

Call, text, or send the form on the contact page. We check the date and the address first. A form request is not a confirmed reservation. After we confirm, a $200 deposit holds the date and applies to the balance. If the quote lists a different deposit, follow the quote. Pay only after the date is confirmed.

Please have tables, chairs, dinner plates, salad plates, utensils, napkins, and drinks ready. We bring the chef, the grill, the food, the sauces, and the show. Tables, chairs, linens, place settings, setup, and cleanup can be added as rentals. Call if you want those included in the quote.

Tell us about allergies before the party so the chef can plan the cooking order. A guest list with each person’s proteins helps. Tofu is on every package for guests who do not eat meat.
