How do I reserve my date?
A $100 deposit is required only after we confirm availability and event details, and it is applied toward the final balance. Cancellations made at least 36 hours before the scheduled event receive a full refund of the $100 deposit; cancellations made less than 36 hours before the scheduled event are non-refundable. You may submit one reschedule request. Approval depends on chef availability at the time of the request, and the requested new date and time are not guaranteed. If approved, the original $100 deposit transfers to the new event date. If the request cannot be accommodated, the standard cancellation policy applies.

Sales tax is not included. Final sales tax is calculated based on the event address and the applicable CDTFA rate on the event date.

Gratuity is optional and never required. Any tip is fully at the customer's discretion.
Can you guarantee an allergen-free setup?
Please tell us about any food allergies or dietary restrictions before booking. We can review requests and take reasonable precautions, but because we use shared grills, utensils, sauces, and prep areas, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
What about Airbnb, parks, venues, or HOA rules?
Airbnbs, parks, and private venues may require approval for outdoor cooking, propane, grill setup, and fire effects. The host is responsible for confirming location rules before booking.
Is this hibachi catering or a private chef experience?
It is more than drop-off hibachi catering. A private hibachi chef cooks on site, brings the grill setup, serves the meal, and creates an interactive birthday or backyard party experience.
Do you have birthday specials?
One birthday guest receives one complimentary lobster. When a couple is jointly celebrating, up to two complimentary lobsters may be provided. The birthday gift is confirmed in writing before booking.
