Anaheim details
Parking, stairs & setup
Vacation-rental rules matter more in Anaheim than anywhere else we cook. Rentals near the parks turn over constantly and many carry explicit no-open-flame clauses; a two-line message to your host before booking us avoids the one problem that actually cancels these parties. Hosts who allow it usually just want the grill off the lawn and away from the structure, which is where we set up anyway.
Park-adjacent streets fill up in the evening and some neighborhoods post overnight restrictions, so a driveway spot for the chef is worth holding. Timing is the other Anaheim-specific thing: families coming off a park day almost always want 7pm or later, and those slots go first on weekends and school holidays. We need a flat area about the size of a king-size bed, roughly 10 ft of overhead clearance, and a path from the curb that does not involve carrying the grill up more than a short flight of stairs.

Space & weather plan
We need a flat outdoor area about the size of a king-size bed and about 10 ft of overhead clearance. Best evening months in Anaheim: April through November; best lunch months: April through June and October through November.
July averages a high of 85°F against 66°F in January. No month here averages above 93°F, so Anaheim takes daytime bookings comfortably across most of the year. Rain is worth planning around in March, when about 30% of days see measurable rain — a 10×10 pop-up tent over the chef station saves the party, and guests can eat indoors. Evenings run longest in June (sunset around 8:04pm); start 90 minutes before sunset for the golden-hour show.
Travel: none for Anaheim — it sits inside our free 50-mile radius, so your quote carries no travel fee at all.

What we actually buy
Beef: USDA Choice Angus top sirloin. Choice is the grade above Select. We buy Angus program beef rather than whatever is cheapest that week.
Shrimp: BAP-certified. Best Aquaculture Practices — an independent certification covering the farm, the hatchery, the feed and the processing plant.
Salmon: Atlantic salmon fillet, skinless. Portioned fillet, not trim or belly offcuts.
Chicken: Boneless, skinless breast. Hatched, raised and harvested in the USA. Breast meat only — no thigh substitution.
Lobster tail: Wild-caught Caribbean spiny lobster. Our premium upgrade. Wild-caught, not farmed.
Sauces: House-made yum yum sauce and ginger dressing. Made by us, fresh every week — the ginger dressing from fresh onion, carrot, ginger, orange and lemon. Both contain egg; the ginger dressing also contains soy and wheat.
Allergies: Our standard soy sauce is not gluten free, so a gluten-free guest should have their own gluten-free soy and teriyaki on hand and we'll cook their portion with it; our ginger dressing is made with regular soy sauce, so their salad comes without it. We can't promise a nut- or sesame-free table — the gyoza are a commercial product and contain sesame, and our house-made sauces use store-bought ingredients. Both sauces contain egg. Tell us the allergy when you book and we'll check the labels in use for your date.
Popular Anaheim parties
Disneyland Trip Dinners. The most popular booking in Anaheim: your group comes back from the parks, and dinner plus a show is already set up at the rental.
Family Reunions. Big vacation-rental groups are our specialty — one reservation feeds everyone, and the chef show is the evening's entertainment.
Anaheim Hills Backyard Parties. Birthdays, anniversaries, and graduation parties with a private chef and open-flame show under the hills.
Sports Watch Parties. Angels and Ducks game-day gatherings hit different when a hibachi chef is flipping shrimp at halftime.
See how each celebration plays out: birthdays, pool parties, family reunions and more party ideas.
Where we set up in Anaheim
Disneyland-Area Vacation Rentals. Rentals within a few miles of the parks, usually a family group that has been walking all day and does not want to get back in the car.
Anaheim Hills Backyards. Bigger lots, hillside views, and room for a long table — our most common Anaheim setup for milestone birthdays and reunions.
Platinum Triangle Podium Patios. Apartment and condo decks near the stadium. Building approval for open-flame cooking is the only thing to check.
Why Anaheim hosts book us
Anaheim is one of our busiest cities — and not just because of the mouse. Families renting vacation homes near Disneyland book our chefs for the one night nobody wants to fight park crowds for dinner, while Anaheim Hills backyards host birthdays, reunions, and graduation parties all year.
The chef brings everything: mobile teppanyaki grill, fresh ingredients, the full performance, and cleanup. You provide the outdoor space and the guests.
Anaheim hibachi FAQ
Can you cook at our vacation rental near Disneyland?
Yes — this is our single most common Anaheim booking. We need a permitted outdoor space (patio, backyard, or driveway). Double-check that your rental allows outdoor cooking events, and we handle the rest.
We're visiting from out of town — how far ahead should we book?
For weekend dates, 2–3 weeks ahead is safe; holiday weeks around the parks book out earlier. You can cancel or reschedule free with 48+ hours notice.
How many guests can you handle at one event?
Any size. One chef comfortably serves up to about 20 guests; for larger reunions we bring additional chefs and grills. You still make just one reservation.
What does hibachi at home cost in Anaheim?
$59.90 per adult, $29.90 per child 5–12, and kids under 5 eat free, $599 event minimum — including chef, grill, 2 proteins per guest, fried rice, vegetables, salad and the show.
How much space do you need in Anaheim?
A flat area about the size of a king-size bed for the grill plus roughly 10 ft of overhead clearance, in open air — a patio, deck, driveway, or yard all work. Enclosed rooms and covered balconies do not. Send a photo when you book and we'll confirm the setup spot before your date.
Is this an indoor or outdoor party?
The cooking is outdoors; the eating does not have to be. A live teppanyaki grill throws real smoke and grease and will set off a smoke alarm indoors, so the grill always stays outside — on a patio, deck, driveway, yard, or roof terrace, with about 10 ft of overhead clearance. Your guests can absolutely sit and eat inside. Plenty of Anaheim parties run exactly that way: the chef cooks on the patio and plates come indoors, which is what we'd suggest on a hot afternoon or a cold night.
Can we book a lunch or daytime slot?
Yes. Because the party is outdoors, the right answer depends on your city and the season — midday stays comfortable near the coast for most of the year, while inland and Valley cities are best at lunch roughly October through May and better at sunset in high summer. Daytime slots are usually easier to get than weekend evenings. Tell us your date and preferred time and we'll tell you honestly whether it works.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours before your event at no cost. Inside 48 hours there's a $99 late-cancellation charge. If rain is the problem, a 10'x10' pop-up tent over the chef's station usually saves the party — you provide the tent, we do not supply them — and guests can eat indoors while the chef cooks outside.
