Corporate and team events
Corporate hibachi catering in Phoenix and Scottsdale
A private hibachi chef cooks a fresh meal and puts on a live fire show for your team, at the office, a venue or a vacation rental. Lunch or dinner, weekdays or weekends, from $55 per person.
Team events people look forward to
Catering and entertainment in one booking.
Most company events end up with trays of food and people staying in their usual groups. With a hibachi chef, everyone gathers around the grill. The chef cooks to order, flips shrimp, builds an onion volcano and gets the whole team laughing, so people talk to coworkers they rarely work with.
We cook for team building events, client dinners, holiday parties, offsites and company celebrations across Phoenix, Scottsdale and the rest of Arizona. You choose the place and the time. We bring the chef, the grill and the ingredients, cook on site and clean up our cooking area when we are done.
Why hibachi for a company event
Easy to plan, hard to forget.
A shared experience
Everyone eats together around one grill, which gets people talking far more than a buffet line does.
Food and a show
A freshly cooked meal and live entertainment from one booking, with no separate caterer or entertainer to coordinate.
Fits the workday
Book a weekday lunch, an after-work dinner or a weekend event. Choose the time that suits your team.
Dietary needs covered
We do not use peanuts, tree nuts, sesame or sesame oil, we offer gluten-free options, and tofu is available as a protein.

Company events we cook for
From a team lunch to a holiday party
Team building
A relaxed way to bring a team together, especially new teams or hybrid teams that rarely share a table.
Client appreciation dinners
Host clients at a home, a rental or your office and give them a dinner they will remember long after the meeting.
Holiday parties
A year-end party with a live show instead of another restaurant booking. December dates are popular, so reach out early.
Offsites and retreats
Hosting your team at a vacation rental? We cook at rentals across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Sedona.
Team lunches
Weekday lunches are available, so you can celebrate a launch or a quarter without keeping everyone late.
Milestones and wins
Company anniversaries, sales wins, promotions and retirements. Tell us the occasion and the chef will make it part of the show.

Planning tips
Planning a hibachi event for your team
Check the location first
Courtyards, patios, rooftop decks and backyards work well. If you are hosting at an office or venue, check with the building or venue about cooking on a live grill there.
Collect dietary needs early
Ask everyone about allergies and preferences when they RSVP and send us the list before booking, so we can plan every meal.
Plan the schedule
The chef arrives about 30 minutes early and cooks for about an hour and a half. Fit speeches or awards before or after the meal.
Lock in the headcount
Send your final count at least 24 hours ahead. You can add or remove guests, and the $550 minimum still applies.
Sort out seating
Use your own tables and chairs, or rent our table setup with tables, table covers, plates, cutlery and napkins.
Plan around the weather
We cook rain or shine. In the summer heat, choose an evening start, shade, a covered patio or misters.
