Question 4

What do I need to provide for a hibachi party?

Accepted Answer

You must provide and set up: tables, chairs, plates, utensils, and cups. We bring the grill(s), all food, chef(s), and sake. An outdoor or covered space is needed (68.3 inches L x 27.5 inches W x 41.3 inches H for the grill). Indoor is possible with 10+ ft ceilings and proper ventilation.

Question 5

Can I cancel or reschedule my hibachi booking?

Accepted Answer

We require at least 72 hours' notice for all cancellations or rescheduled parties. Cancellations made with less than 72 hours' notice will result in a 30% fee of the full invoice (or forfeiture of the deposit, whichever applies). Same-day cancellations are charged the full balance. All orders are final within 72 hours of your event. At this point we have begun extensive preparation and cancellations are no longer accepted. In most cases, your deposit can be applied to a future event if rescheduled outside the 72-hour window.

Question 6

What happens if it rains on the day of my hibachi event?

Accepted Answer

If it rains, the customer must provide a covering such as a tent, patio, or awning for the chef and guests. The customer is responsible for cancelling due to inclement weather at least 72 hours before the event to avoid fees.
