Hibachi at Home FAQ
Everything Orange County hosts ask us before booking — pricing, minimums, setup, dietary needs and what to expect on the day.
Booking, Pricing & Deposits
How do I book a hibachi at home party in Orange County?
Submit the booking request form on our Book Now page with your date, city and guest count — or call (949) 869-1888. Our team replies within a few hours to confirm availability. A $50 deposit then locks in your date and assigns your chef.
What areas of Orange County do you serve?
We serve every city in Orange County — including Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Orange, Garden Grove, Tustin, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach, Yorba Linda, Brea, Lake Forest, Dana Point, San Clemente, Seal Beach and more. If you are inside Orange County, we come to you.
Is there a minimum guest count or minimum order?
There is no minimum guest count — but every event carries a $600 minimum order. Ages 5 and under eat for $5 each. Smaller groups can still book by adding menu upgrades such as filet mignon, lobster tail, hibachi noodles or appetizers to reach the minimum.
How much does hibachi catering cost in Orange County?
Our packages start at $60 per person (Classic, 2 proteins), $80 per person (Premium, 3 proteins) and $100 per person (Luxury, lobster & filet mignon). Children ages 6–12 are $30, and children 5 and under are $5. Every event has a $600 minimum.
What is included in the price?
Every package includes your private hibachi chef, the grill and propane, all fresh ingredients, fried rice, grilled vegetables, a garden salad, house sauces and full cleanup. Premium and Luxury packages also include table and chair setup.
Do you need a deposit to reserve a date?
Yes. Once we confirm your event details, a $50 deposit reserves your date and assigns your chef. The deposit is applied toward your final balance.
Setup, Menu & Event Day
What do I need to prepare before the chef arrives?
For Classic bookings, please have tables and chairs set up, plus dinner plates and salad plates with utensils for each guest. Your chef brings everything else — the grill, food, sauces and cleanup. Premium and Luxury packages include table and chair setup.
How long does a hibachi at home party take?
Plan on about 90 minutes of service for the Classic package and roughly 120 minutes for Premium and Luxury. Add 30–45 minutes before and after for setup and cleanup, which we handle entirely.
Can you cook indoors or in a garage?
Hibachi teppanyaki cooking is done outdoors. We cook rain or shine, as long as there is a covered, dry area for the chef — a patio, pergola, carport or tent works perfectly. We cannot cook inside a house, garage or enclosed space.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal options?
Yes. We offer tofu and vegetable-based menus, gluten-free sauces on request, and halal-friendly protein options. Let us know your dietary needs when you book and we will build the menu around them.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks is ideal for weekend dates, and we recommend booking a month ahead for holidays, graduations and December corporate parties. That said, we regularly accommodate last-minute bookings — just call (949) 869-1888.
Are your chefs licensed and insured?
Yes. Every Hibachi Orange chef is licensed, insured and background-checked, so we are approved for gated communities, HOA-managed properties, country clubs and commercial venues across Orange County.
