Private hibachi catering in Scotch Plains
Backyard, rooftop, restaurant patio — wherever your Scotch Plains event happens, our chef brings the grill, food, and the live show. A hibachi chef at your Scotch Plains house, patio or community clubhouse, about 12 miles from downtown Newark.
Hibachi catering for Scotch Plains events
A Scotch Plains birthday in Scotch Plains, a graduation dinner in Fanwood, a corporate evening in Westfield — 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.
We have cooked across 4 Scotch Plains-area neighborhoods, from Scotch Plains to Plainfield — apartments, rooftops, backyards, driveways, community clubhouses, parks with a permit, and office spaces.
Scotch Plains is covered by our New Jersey chef network rather than by a chef flying in, which is what keeps weekend dates open here. Travel is billed as a flat $50 for the first 50 miles, tolls included, plus $1 per mile past that.
Where the chef sets up in Scotch Plains
Backyard hibachi is still the most common Scotch Plains 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 Scotch Plains homes with a range hood, an open garage, or a covered porch — tell us the room and we will confirm ventilation before the date.

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Scotch Plains on a weekend?

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.
