Chicago might have cold winters, but its hibachi season is one of the most vibrant in the Midwest. When summer hits the Windy City, Chicagoans make up for lost time — backyard parties, rooftop events, and outdoor gatherings are packed from May through September. And for the other months? Indoor garage setups keep the hibachi going year-round. HibachiLover brings a professional hibachi chef and full grill setup to your Chicago home, rooftop, or venue.

Chicago Hibachi Season
Outdoor season: May through September. Chicago summers are warm and beautiful — backyard hibachi is extremely popular during these months and dates fill quickly.
Indoor season: October through April. Chicago customers are experts at indoor garage setups. A heated garage with the door cracked, folding tables and chairs, and a hibachi chef is a legitimate winter party option that our Chicago clients love.
