Hibachi catering for Rumson events
Rumson hosts book us for the moment the grill fires up. Whether the party is in Rumson, Sea Bright, or Fair Haven, our hibachi chef sets up outdoors or in, cooks to order, and turns dinner into the entertainment — no venue, no catering trays, no cleanup left to you.
We have cooked across 4 Rumson-area neighborhoods, from Rumson to Navesink — apartments, rooftops, backyards, driveways, community clubhouses, parks with a permit, and office spaces.
You are not waiting on a chef to drive in from another state. Our New Jersey hibachi chefs live and work in the region, so a Rumson 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 Rumson
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 Rumson 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 Rumson usually approve us once they see we are insured and self-contained.

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

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.
