Frequently Asked Questions

We provide the hibachi grill, all cooking equipment, fresh ingredients, plates, and utensils. Tables and chairs should be provided by the host. We recommend a long table or multiple tables so guests can sit around the grill and enjoy the show up close. If you need suggestions on table setup or layout, just let us know and we'll help you plan the perfect arrangement.

A typical hibachi party lasts about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the number of guests. This includes setup time, the live cooking show with fire tricks and entertainment, dining, and full cleanup. For larger parties (20+ guests), we recommend allowing a full 3-hour window for the complete experience. Our chef will work at a pace that keeps everyone entertained and well-fed.

We can cook under a covered patio, garage, tent, or any sheltered outdoor area. If you have a large indoor space with proper ventilation (like an open garage), that works too. We always recommend having a backup plan in case of unexpected weather. If severe weather makes the event truly impossible, we'll work with you to reschedule to a new date at no additional cost.

If you have guests with specific dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know when booking and we'll accommodate as best as we can. We want every guest at your party to enjoy the full hibachi experience.
