Jan 21

As reservations at restaurants become more and more difficult in cities like Austin and Houston, hosts are opting for a more seamless, restaurant-free gathering. With Texas known for its big celebrations, whether it is a milestone birthday, a bachelorette weekend at a local Airbnb, or a family reunion, Austin hibachi at home is a big crowd pleaser.

At Hibachi With Us, we understand that the moments with your family and friends are precious. This is why we value each moment you spend with your loved ones and we aim to make is unforgattable.

The Rise of Mobile Hibachi Houston

In a city like Houston, having a hectic traffic getting a large group together at a steakhouse can be a logistical nightmare. This is when Mobile Hibachi Houston comes into the picture and solves this issue by delivering the restaurant like experience directly to you. Besides the premium steak and lobster, there’s entertainment with the traditional hibachi chef activities, including the onion volcano and clattering spatula performances.

Booking a private chef is an interesting idea; however, many clients looking for Houston Hibachi at home face hurdles in the catering industry and have expressed their concern regarding slow response and the manual booking process leave host in a dilemma if the booking is actually confirmed. That's why Hibachi With Us has taken the lead in the industry, creating a model with seamless communication and event planning services that are as smooth as the hibachi chef’s performances.

Navigating the Challenges of Booking

The concept of Austin hibachi at home is as convenient as it is exciting. However, it is important to be aware of the industry standards and potential "hidden" factors:

1. Transparent Pricing: Many hosts are surprised by minimum spend requirements. In the Texas market, a standard event typically starts with a minimum cost of approximately $550–$600.

2. Travel and Mileage: Since our chefs travel to each location, be it a downtown Austin high-rise or a suburban Houston cul-de-sac, mileage fees may occur if you are out of the primary service radius. Mileage fees are on a case-by-case basis, so make sure to always ask about costs.

3. Clear Instructions: One of the common issues hosts face is that they don’t know how to prepare for the event. This is why we give clear instructions and guidelines on how to get ready for the event.

4. Gratuity: An important thing to note is that the initial payment covers for the food and equipment. Tipping the chef for their performance and service is a standard practice that ensures these talented artisans are rewarded for their craft.

Perfect for the Austin Airbnb Scene

Unique accommodations and travel options make Austin a hot spot for visitors. With the unique offerings, make sure to add a private chef to your travel itinerary. It is a great way to stay in while enjoying the Austin nightlife, especially when the traffic on 6th Street is a hassle. Hibachi With Us focuses on mobile setups and provides a service that allows you to keep your kitchen clean and your guests satisfied.
