Question 4

What's included with mobile hibachi catering from HibaChef?

Accepted Answer

Every package includes a private chef, live cooking, and a tableside show with tricks and fire. Guests get salad with ginger dressing, hibachi vegetables, egg fried rice, and their chosen proteins. The chef brings the grill and fresh ingredients, sets up, and cleans the cooking station afterward.

Question 5

How much space do I need for backyard hibachi catering?

Accepted Answer

You need a flat, safe, and easy-to-reach outdoor spot for the chef's grill, plus room for guests to sit nearby. A level patio, pool deck, or driveway usually works well. You'll also need tables, chairs, plates, and utensils, or you can rent them from HibaChef for $15 per person where available.

Question 6

What happens if it rains during my Florida hibachi party?

Accepted Answer

Your event goes ahead rain or shine, so plan for cover. Florida summers bring quick afternoon thunderstorms, so a tent, covered patio, or awning over the cooking area keeps things on track. Guests can sit inside if needed, but the grill stays outdoors in a safe, covered spot.

Question 7

Can a hibachi chef cook inside my Florida home?

Accepted Answer

No, all cooking happens outdoors. Guests are welcome to sit indoors, but the grill must stay outside on a flat, safe, and accessible spot. That option comes in handy on a sticky Florida summer evening, though sitting close to the grill is the best way to catch the show.

Question 8

Is there a minimum for a hibachi at home party?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every party has a $550 minimum, and tax and gratuity are not included. For reference, 10 adults on Hibachi Regular at $55 each reach that amount. Smaller groups can still book as long as the order meets the minimum, and upgrades like filet mignon, lobster, or extra sides help get you there.

Question 9

How much does hibachi cost for kids?

Accepted Answer

Hibachi Kids costs $30 per child for ages 5 to 12 and includes one entree, plus salad with ginger dressing, hibachi vegetables, and egg fried rice. It keeps family birthdays and reunions affordable while the kids get a front-row seat for the fire and tricks.

Question 10

Can HibaChef handle food allergies and dietary needs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, share food allergies and dietary needs before the event, and HibaChef will try to accommodate them. Tofu is an entree option for guests who skip meat. Because everything is cooked on one grill, HibaChef cannot guarantee an allergen-free cooking area, so flag serious allergies early.
