Private Hibachi Catering — San Francisco, California
In a city where a real backyard is a luxury, our chefs cook on Sunset and Richmond District patios, decks, and suburban-style yards — and on the wider lots of the city’s southern neighborhoods. Our chefs bring the grill, fresh ingredients, and a live hibachi show to your San Francisco door: a multi-course teppanyaki dinner for hosts who have ordered every takeout menu in the city and want a night that feels like an occasion. When the fog lifts on a clear evening, there is no better seat in the city than your own patio.

Occasions
San Francisco birthdays are small-space, big-occasion affairs — a patio in the Sunset, a deck in Bernal Heights, a yard in the Richmond. The guest of honor gets the chef’s full attention, and a dozen close friends get a dinner no restaurant in the city can copy.
Tech teams across the city book us for offsites and team celebrations at a host’s home — a private chef night that beats another catered conference room. Dinner and the show, cooked for your group alone, with filet and lobster upgrades for the table.
City families gather where there is room — a grandparent’s Sunset yard or a Daly City cousin’s backyard, one grill for three generations. Kids love the onion volcano, adults love the sake pour, and the whole family actually sits down together.
Skip the impossible reservation and the foggy drive home. A private chef cooks a multi-course teppanyaki dinner on your own deck or patio while you stay warm by the grill with your guests — a date night or anniversary that feels like an event.
