Private hibachi catering in Cortez
Hibachi catering in Cortez without the restaurant: the chef, the grill, and the show come to your address. Local hibachi chefs bring the grill and the full show to backyards across Cortez and Manatee County.
Hibachi catering for Cortez events
A Cortez birthday in Anna Maria, a graduation dinner in Braden River, a corporate evening in Bradenton — the format is the same every time. Our hibachi chef arrives with the grill, the food, and the knife work, and cooks it a few feet from your guests. No restaurant reservation, no rushing the table, no driving anyone home.
Local hibachi chefs bring the grill and the full show to backyards across Cortez and Manatee County. That covers 6 neighborhoods in and around Cortez — Anna Maria, Ellenton and everything between — so the chef usually knows the parking, the access, and where the grill can safely go before arriving.
You are not waiting on a chef to drive in from another state. Our Florida hibachi chefs live and work in the region, so a Cortez booking is served locally. Travel is a flat $50 covering the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile.
Where the chef sets up in Cortez
Backyard hibachi is still the most common Cortez booking — the chef needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot clear area and works fine on grass, patio, deck, or driveway. Rooftops and terraces work as long as there is open air above the grill; we bring our own propane and a fire-safe base. Indoor hibachi is possible in Cortez homes with a range hood, an open garage, or a covered porch — tell us the room and we will confirm ventilation before the date.
Cortez hibachi catering — common questions
Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Cortez?
Yes. Every Cortez 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 Anna Maria backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.
How much does hibachi catering cost in Cortez?
Our hibachi chef service is $55 per adult and $30 per child, with a $550 minimum per event. Travel to Cortez 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 Cortez neighborhoods do you cover?
We cover roughly 6 neighborhoods in and around Cortez, including Anna Maria, Braden River, Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, College Plaza and Ellenton. If you do not see yours listed we very likely still serve it — ask and we will quote the travel cost before you book.
Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Cortez 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 Cortez. 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.
