Hibachi at Home: Your Top Questions Answered
Hosting a hibachi party at home sounds exciting—but if it’s your first time, you probably have a few questions. At Hibachi with Us, we get a lot of inquiries from customers planning backyard events across the U.S. To help, we’ve put together answers to the most common questions people search or ask about hibachi catering.
🔥 What is Hibachi Catering?
Hibachi catering is a mobile service where a professional hibachi chef comes to your home or event location and cooks live on a flat-top grill. It's a fun, interactive experience that combines great food with fire tricks, jokes, and a personalized menu.
🏡 How Does Hibachi at Home Work?
We bring everything needed: the grill, ingredients, and chef. You just provide tables, chairs, plates, and utensils. The chef arrives about 10 minutes early to set up and will cook for your guests right in your backyard, driveway, or garage (yes, indoor winter events are possible!).

Plus, entertainment—our chefs are performers too!
🍱 Can I Choose My Own Proteins?
Absolutely. We’ll collect your protein choices about a week before your event. Premium proteins (like lobster or filet mignon) include a small surcharge.
🌧️ What If It Rains?
No worries. Many customers move their party to a covered patio, garage, or tent. Our chefs can safely cook under shelter as long as it’s open-air for ventilation.
🌱 Do You Accommodate Gluten-Free or Vegetarian Guests?
Yes! We’ve served many gluten-free customers. Just bring your favorite gluten-free soy or teriyaki sauce, and the chef will cook your portion separately. We also offer tofu with extra veggies for vegetarian or vegan guests.
