Private hibachi catering in Cedar Rapids

Hibachi catering for Cedar Rapids events

Cedar Rapids is covered by our IA chef network rather than by a chef flying in, which is what keeps weekend dates open here. Travel is billed as a flat $50 for the first 50 miles, tolls included, plus $1 per mile past that.

Cedar Rapids hibachi catering — common questions

Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Cedar Rapids?

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

Travel to Cedar Rapids 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 Cedar Rapids neighborhoods do you cover?

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Cedar Rapids 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 Cedar Rapids. 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.
