New York City hibachi catering is a different experience than most cities — but that's what makes it special. Without a backyard, New Yorkers get creative: rooftop terraces, building courtyards, rented event spaces, community gardens, and waterfront venues. HibachiLover has done it all across the five boroughs. If you're searching for a private hibachi chef in New York City, we'll work with your space to make it happen.
