Hibachi catering for Encinitas events

Where the chef sets up in Encinitas
Corporate hibachi at Encinitas offices works for 15 to 60 people; we set up in a courtyard, loading area, or cafeteria patio and run in seated waves. Parks and beaches in the Encinitas area are doable with the right permit — we will tell you which ones typically grant one. Backyard hibachi is still the most common Encinitas booking — the chef needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot clear area and works fine on grass, patio, deck, or driveway.

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.
