The Live Fire Show
The onion volcano, the flaming griddle, spatula tricks and the egg roll off the elbow. It is the part guests film and the reason the kids stand up on their chairs.

Hibachi Party at HomeAnywhere in Connecticut

What you are booking
A Restaurant Show That Drives to Your House
Hibachi at home is not a drop-off catering tray. A chef arrives with a professional teppanyaki griddle, sets it up beside your table, and cooks every plate to order while your guests sit around it — the same knife work, flames and jokes you would get at a hibachi restaurant, in your own yard.
Cooked to Order, Plate by Plate
Every guest picks their own proteins — chicken, steak, shrimp, scallops, salmon, tofu, filet mignon or lobster. Nobody is stuck with one set menu for the whole table.
Sake Gun Service
Guests 21 and over get sake service straight from the chef's sake gun — included with every party, and usually the first thing the group asks for again.
We Bring the Whole Kitchen
Griddle, propane, utensils, sauces, prep and cooler. The chef arrives 10–20 minutes early to set up, then breaks the station down and takes it away afterwards.
Your Yard, Deck or Rental
Backyards, patios, driveways, pergolas, lake houses and short-term rentals across Connecticut. Cooking happens outdoors, under a tent or covered area if the weather turns.
Clean-Up Is Ours
The cooking station leaves with the chef. Your table, decorations and playlist stay exactly how you set them — you host, you do not cater.

Occasions
The Parties We Cook For Most
Birthdays and graduations fill our Connecticut summer weekends first — but the griddle turns up for a lot more than that.
Birthdays
From first birthdays to milestone 50ths. The chef will write happy birthday in fried rice and put the guest of honour in the middle of the show.
Graduations
Late May and June book out early in CT. Hibachi handles a yard full of relatives better than a buffet table nobody wants to refill.
Bachelorette & Engagement
Heart-shaped fried rice, sake gun, and a dinner the group will still be posting about the next morning.
Family Reunions
Grandparents to toddlers eat the same meal at the same table, with kids' portions priced separately at $30.
Corporate & Team Events
Office cookouts, client appreciation dinners and holiday parties at a home, office lot or rented venue.
Holidays & Vacation Rentals
Shoreline rentals, lake houses and holiday weekends — give us the rental address and the chef comes to you.

Quick Answers
How much does a hibachi party at home cost in CT?
$50 per adult for two proteins, $60 for three, $30 per child under 13, and $40 per person for buffet service with 30 or more guests. Every party has a $500 food minimum, plus $1 per mile travel from Glastonbury. Gratuity for the chef is customary and not included.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, graduation season and holidays — those dates go first. Shorter-notice bookings are often possible when the calendar allows, so it is always worth asking.
Can you cook indoors?
No — the griddle runs on propane, so we cook on outside premises only: a patio, deck, driveway, garage opening or covered area all work. Tell us about your space when you book and we will confirm what works at your property.
What happens if it rains?
A tent, garage, covered patio or porch usually keeps the party on schedule. Let us know if the forecast turns and we will talk through the setup before the day.
Do you handle allergies, vegetarian and gluten-free guests?
Yes. Tofu plates are the same price as a standard plate, and our food contains no nuts or sesame products. Our standard soy and teriyaki sauces do contain gluten, so gluten-free guests are welcome to bring their own bottles for the chef to use on their plate.
