Private hibachi catering in Ocean Reef

Hibachi catering for Ocean Reef events

Hibachi catering in Ocean Reef means the restaurant comes to you. We have set the grill up in Big Pine Key backyards, Islamorada rooftops, and Long Key living rooms, and the show plays the same in all three: fried rice on the flat top, the onion volcano, and food handed straight off the grill.

Our chefs roll into Ocean Reef with the grill, the fire show, and everything but the table. Our Ocean Reef coverage runs across 6 neighborhoods including Big Pine Key and Summerland Key. Backyard hibachi, rooftop, garage, covered patio, indoor with ventilation — we have done all of it here.

You are not waiting on a chef to drive in from another state. Our Florida hibachi chefs live and work in the region, so an Ocean Reef booking is served locally. Travel is a flat $50 covering the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile.

Ocean Reef hibachi catering — common questions

Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Ocean Reef?

Yes. Every Ocean Reef 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 Big Pine Key backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

How much does hibachi catering cost in Ocean Reef?

Our hibachi chef service is $55 per adult and $30 per child, with a $550 minimum per event. Travel to Ocean Reef 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 Ocean Reef neighborhoods do you cover?

We cover roughly 6 neighborhoods in and around Ocean Reef, including Big Pine Key, Islamorada, Long Key, Marathon, Naval Air Statio and Summerland Key. 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 Ocean Reef 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 Ocean Reef. 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.
