Private hibachi catering in Auburn

Hibachi catering for Auburn events

Most of what we do in Auburn is private hibachi at home: a backyard in Finger Lakes, a rooftop in Auburn, a condo terrace in Auburn. The chef brings a full mobile hibachi grill, preps on site, and runs the whole show where your guests are already sitting.

New York State coverage — a Hibachi Tonight chef drives to Auburn for your party. Between Finger Lakes and Auburn we have worked 1 distinct Auburn neighborhoods, and the chef has set up in everything from a tight city patio to a full estate lawn.

This is a local chef, not a road trip. We staff New York with hibachi chefs who already work the Finger Lakes market, so Auburn dates are served from inside the state. Travel runs $50 flat for the first 50 miles, tolls included, then $1 per mile.

Auburn hibachi catering — common questions

Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Auburn?

Yes. Every Auburn booking is in-home hibachi — the chef arrives with a commercial mobile hibachi grill, propane, all the food, sauces, and serving gear. You provide the space and the tables; we bring everything that cooks. The chef needs about an 8 by 8 foot clear area, and Finger Lakes backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

How much does hibachi catering cost in Auburn?

Our hibachi chef service is $44.99 per adult and $30 per child, with a $450 minimum per event. Travel to Auburn is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile beyond that. Those figures are before tax — sales tax is calculated on the event address, so your quote will show it separately.

Which Auburn neighborhoods do you cover?

We cover roughly 1 neighborhoods in and around Auburn, including Finger Lakes. If you do not see yours listed we very likely still serve it — ask and we will quote the travel cost before you book.

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Auburn 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 Auburn. 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.
