What you'll do:

A private hibachi chef sets up right in your space and turns your backyard, kitchen, or event room into a live hibachi grill show. You watch fresh ingredients get chopped, tossed, and flame-grilled a few feet away, then eat it hot off the grill.

• Watch the live cook - A private chef preps and grills your meal in front of you, with knife tricks, flips, and the occasional onion volcano.

• Pick your proteins - Choose from steak, chicken, shrimp, and more so every guest gets a plate they'll actually want.

• Enjoy the show between bites - Chefs banter with the group and time the tricks between courses, so it never feels like a lecture.

• Eat where you already are - No driving, no reservations, no waiting for a table; the grill comes to your backyard or event space.

• Wrap up with a full table - Everyone eats together in one sitting since the chef cooks for the whole group at once.

Dinner and a show happen in the same two hours, with no cleanup on your end and no one leaving the party to go pick up food.

Why we love it for your party:

• Experienced chefs - Every chef has 10+ years in Japanese culinary arts, so the knife work and tricks are the real deal, not a first-timer.

• Live entertainment built in - The cooking itself is the entertainment, so you don't need to book a separate act for the night.

• Fresh, high-quality ingredients - Premium meats, seafood, and vegetables are grilled to order, not sitting under a heat lamp.

• Menus built around your group - Vegetarian, shellfish-free, or picky-eater options are worked in so nobody is stuck with a plain plate.

• Works for any headcount - Scales from a small dinner to a large backyard party without changing the format.
