If you or someone you know is going to a bachelor or bachelorette party soon, there’s a good chance they’re reserving one night for a unique Hibachi dinner: the delicious at-home experience that’s taking the Instagram story scene by storm. With Hibachi dinners available across 30+ US cities and plenty of options to choose from within each marketplace, Batch has been helping chefs and companies grow while offering the easiest and wildly entertaining dining experience to party guests.

Why is Hibachi such a party trend right now?

If anyone’s gonna know the “why” behind the latest Hibachi party craze, it’s us. As explained in The Manual, Batch founder Mike Petrakis points to social media’s role in making the dining option so memorable.

‍

“Sometimes ‘the phone eats first,’ and when people start sharing their creations and techniques, it only fuels more parties to try it themselves.”

‍

Indeed, the trend is full of endless and exciting photo ops that any participant will likely want documented. From the minute a Hibachi chef arrives at your home, you’ll be on the edge of your seat as they toss around sharp knives like it’s easy and set bright blazing fires to the grill, leaving you with a memorable performance even before you’ve taken a bite.

‍

‍

The experience is also completely interactive, with Hibachi chefs tossing food into participants mouths, letting the guest of honor play chef, shooting water guns full of all-you-can-drink sake at party guests and just being some of the coolest people to interact with on a Friday or Saturday night in.

‍

But don’t be fooled — the show itself isn’t the only part of the experience that makes this dinner a hit. The dinner is really good. Protein options like steak, chicken, shrimp — plus tofu for vegetarians — combined with fried rice and veggies make for a filling and memorable meal that deviates from the same old food we’re used to eating on group trips. The BYOB element on top of that endless sake doesn’t hurt either.

‍

But maybe the most appealing element that makes this dining experience popular for groups is the pure convenience. Let’s face it, not every bachelor or bachelorette party wants to hit the town every single night during their travels. Hibachi is an at-home option that still provides that excitement and entertainment necessary for a good party.

‍

“Since the pandemic restrictions in 2020, there’s been such a rise of people ‘partying at home’ and this is just one of many businesses that have found success from being in the right place at the right time.”

‍

Even better, the Hibachi chefs come straight to your door in dozens of US cities. All you need to host your dinner are plates, silverware, napkins and your favorite BYOB beverages — leave it to them to supply the grill, the food and the show. At as low as $60 per person, you can’t beat a two-in-one experience of dinner and a show.
