Private hibachi catering in Cedar Key

Hibachi catering for Cedar Key events

Hibachi catering in Cedar Key means the restaurant comes to you. We have set the grill up in Bronson backyards, Chiefland rooftops, and Gulf Hammock 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.

Our chefs roll into Cedar Key with the grill, the fire show, and everything but the table. Our Cedar Key coverage runs across 6 neighborhoods including Bronson and Otter Creek. Backyard hibachi, rooftop, garage, covered patio, indoor with ventilation — we have done all of it here.

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

Cedar Key hibachi catering — common questions

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

Yes. Every Cedar Key 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 Bronson backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

How much does hibachi catering cost in Cedar Key?

Our hibachi chef service is $55 per adult and $30 per child, with a $550 minimum per event. Travel to Cedar Key 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 Key neighborhoods do you cover?

We cover roughly 6 neighborhoods in and around Cedar Key, including Bronson, Chiefland, Gulf Hammock, Inglis, Morriston and Otter Creek. 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 Cedar Key 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 Key. 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.
