What is Private Hibachi Catering?
HibachiLover is a mobile hibachi catering company that brings the full teppanyaki restaurant experience directly to your home, backyard, or event venue. Our professional hibachi chefs arrive with everything — the grill, fresh proteins, sauces, and ingredients — and cook live in front of your guests while performing knife tricks, fire shows, and onion volcanoes.
It's dinner and entertainment in one. No restaurant waitlist, no cold buffet trays, no one stuck in the kitchen. Just your group, a skilled chef, and a night everyone talks about. We serve birthday parties, wedding receptions, corporate events, graduation parties, holiday parties, family reunions, and more across 27 states.
