Hibachi catering for Escondido events

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.

Where the chef sets up in Escondido
Corporate hibachi at Escondido 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 Escondido area are doable with the right permit — we will tell you which ones typically grant one. Backyard hibachi is still the most common Escondido booking — the chef needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot clear area and works fine on grass, patio, deck, or driveway.
Escondido hibachi catering — common questions
Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Escondido?

You provide the space and the tables; we bring everything that cooks. The chef needs about an 8 by 8 foot clear area, and San Diego Metro backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Escondido 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 Escondido. 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.
