Birthday parties at home
Hibachi birthday party at home in Phoenix and Scottsdale
A private hibachi chef, a live fire show and a fresh dinner for every guest, cooked in your backyard. $55 per adult, $30 per child 12 and under, $550 party minimum.
The party comes to you
A birthday dinner nobody has to drive to.
A birthday dinner at a hibachi restaurant means a long wait, a shared table with strangers and a check to split at the end. A private hibachi chef brings the same show to your home: the onion volcano, the flaming tricks and the fried rice, cooked for your guests only.
We cook for kids’ birthdays, milestone 30th, 40th and 50th birthdays, surprise parties and birthday trips to Scottsdale, at homes, backyards and vacation rentals across Phoenix, Scottsdale and the rest of Arizona. You invite the guests. We bring the chef, the grill and the ingredients.
Why hibachi for a birthday

Easy for the host
We bring the grill and ingredients and clean up our cooking area. Add our table setup and we handle tables, tableware and trash too.
