Our Story

More than dinner —
a private hibachi experience.

The Hibachi Guyz was built on a simple conviction: a restaurant-caliber hibachi show shouldn't require a reservation. It should arrive at your door, plate your guests, and turn an evening into something they bring up for years.

From quiet anniversary dinners to corporate ballrooms, our chefs handle every detail — setup, service, the show, and the part most caterers skip: a meticulous cleanup. You stay with your guests. We do the rest.

Premium decor and rentals — linens, chair covers, florals, and more — are handled by our partner Pinpoint Parties, so every detail of the table feels as considered as the food.

Reviews from our hosts

Absolutely incredible. Chef was entertaining, the food was restaurant-quality, and every single guest pulled me aside to ask who we booked. We've already locked in next year.

Sarah Marquez Birthday · 22 Guests

Booked them for our company holiday dinner. Professional, on time, and the show was a hit with everyone from the interns to the C-suite. The cleanup at the end is what sealed it.

James Reilly Corporate Event · 36 Guests

Best decision we made for our reception. The hibachi station was everyone's favorite part of the night — and a year later guests still ask about it. True pros.
