Hibachi catering for Chapel Hill events

Chapel Hill is covered by our North Carolina chef network rather than by a chef flying in, which is what keeps weekend dates open here. Travel is billed as a flat $50 for the first 50 miles, tolls included, plus $1 per mile past that.
Where the chef sets up in Chapel Hill
Indoor hibachi is possible in Chapel Hill homes with a range hood, an open garage, or a covered porch — tell us the room and we will confirm ventilation before the date. Community clubhouses, HOA pavilions, and event rooms around Chapel Hill usually approve us once they see we are insured and self-contained. Corporate hibachi at Chapel Hill offices works for 15 to 60 people; we set up in a courtyard, loading area, or cafeteria patio and run in seated waves.
Chapel Hill hibachi catering — common questions
Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Chapel Hill?
Yes. Every Chapel Hill booking is in-home hibachi — the chef arrives with a commercial mobile hibachi grill, propane, all the food, sauces, and serving gear. You provide the space and the tables; we bring everything that cooks. The chef needs about an 8 by 8 foot clear area, and Research Triangle backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.
How much does hibachi catering cost in Chapel Hill?
Our hibachi chef service is $55 per adult and $30 per child, with a $550 minimum per event. Travel to Chapel Hill is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile beyond that. Those figures are before tax — sales tax is calculated on the event address, so your quote will show it separately.
Which Chapel Hill neighborhoods do you cover?

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Chapel Hill on a weekend?
Yes, and weekends are what we do most. We operate seven days a week including Saturday, which is our busiest hibachi party slot in Chapel Hill. Summer and holiday weekends fill first, so book two to three weeks out if your date is fixed.
Is this hibachi or teppanyaki, and what does the chef actually cook?
It is Japanese teppanyaki cooked on a flat-top hibachi grill — the same style as a hibachi restaurant, run in your own space. The chef cooks fried rice, vegetables, and your chosen proteins to order, and performs the knife work, the onion volcano, and the catch-it-in-your-mouth routine while cooking. Gluten-friendly, halal, and vegetarian versions are all available.
How Chapel Hill hosts usually describe what they want
Most people find us searching hibachi catering near me from a Chapel Hill address, and the answer is yes -- the chef drives to you. A private hibachi chef handles the menu, the cooking, the show, and the grill cleanup before leaving. Backyard hibachi is the most requested setup here, though decks, driveways, and covered patios all work the same.
