Hibachi catering for Akron events
Hibachi catering in Akron means the restaurant comes to you. We have set the grill up in Newstead backyards, Akron Falls Park rooftops, and Akron living rooms, and the show plays the same in all three: fried rice on the flat top, the onion volcano, and food handed straight off the grill.

Where the chef sets up in Akron
Parks and beaches in the Akron area are doable with the right permit — we will tell you which ones typically grant one. Backyard hibachi is still the most common Akron booking — the chef needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot clear area and works fine on grass, patio, deck, or driveway. Rooftops and terraces work as long as there is open air above the grill; we bring our own propane and a fire-safe base.

You provide the space and the tables; we bring everything that cooks. The chef needs about an 8 by 8 foot clear area, and Newstead backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Akron on a weekend?
Yes, and weekends are what we do most. We operate seven days a week including Saturday, which is our busiest hibachi party slot in Akron. Summer and holiday weekends fill first, so book two to three weeks out if your date is fixed.
Is this hibachi or teppanyaki, and what does the chef actually cook?
It is Japanese teppanyaki cooked on a flat-top hibachi grill — the same style as a hibachi restaurant, run in your own space. The chef cooks fried rice, vegetables, and your chosen proteins to order, and performs the knife work, the onion volcano, and the catch-it-in-your-mouth routine while cooking. Gluten-friendly, halal, and vegetarian versions are all available.
