Hibachi at Home in Corona
Corona backyards have what LA patios dream of: space. Room for the grill, room for long tables, and warm Inland Empire evenings that keep the party outside until late. Our chef brings the teppanyaki show to Dos Lagos, Eagle Glen, and every neighborhood between.
Just off the 91 and 15, Corona is an easy run for our chefs — birthdays, graduations, and family milestones with everything included.

What Your Corona Quote Actually Includes
Mobile hibachi pricing in Southern California clusters around the same headline number. The difference between services shows up in the line items underneath it, so here are ours.
A $19.90 deposit — not $150
That is all it takes to lock your date, and it is fully refundable with 72+ hours notice. Plenty of mobile hibachi services ask for $150 or more up front.
Setup and cleanup are in the price
No per-guest setup surcharge. Some services add $8–$10 per guest for table and chair setup, or leave the teardown to you.
The first 50 miles are free
No travel fee at all inside 50 miles of our base, which covers most of Los Angeles and Orange County. Beyond that it is $1 per additional mile, calculated from your address and shown in your quote before you pay. Other services in this market start charging at 20 miles, or add a flat fee around $75.

South Corona Backyards
Eagle Glen and Sierra Del Oro homes with pools, covered patios, and space for a long table. Big-party territory.
Hillside & Canyon Lots
Properties backing onto open space with views and afternoon wind. We set the grill against a wall where we can.
Community Clubhouses
HOA clubhouse patios for larger family gatherings. Reserve the space and confirm outdoor cooking is allowed.
Parking, Space & Setup in Corona
Corona shares the Inland Empire advantage: long driveways, wide streets, and load-in that takes minutes rather than a small expedition. It is a good city for a large guest count, and our Corona parties skew bigger than our coastal ones for exactly that reason.
Summer heat and canyon wind are the two things we schedule around. From June through September, sunset starts are far more comfortable for guests than late-afternoon ones, and lots that back onto the canyons catch a real breeze in the late afternoon that a grill in an open corner will fight. During red-flag fire conditions we keep the setup on hardscape well clear of dry brush. We need about a 6x8 ft flat area and roughly 10 ft of overhead clearance.

The Corona Hibachi Menu

Included proteins — pick 2 per guest
- Chicken
- Steak
- Shrimp
- Salmon
- Tofu
Premium upgrades
- Filet Mignon+$8
- Premium Sea Scallops+$6
- Spiny Lobster Tail+$12
Per guest, added to the flat rate. Entirely optional.
Extra sides
- Gyoza+$15
- Edamame+$10
- Noodles+$5
- Spring Rolls+$15
Ordered by the tray for the table, not per guest.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests are served at the same per-person rate — just tell us when you book. Our standard soy sauce is not gluten free, so a gluten-free guest should have their own on hand and we'll cook their portion with it. We can't promise a nut- or sesame-free table: the sauces and gyoza are commercial products and both sauces contain egg, so tell us the allergy and we'll check the labels in use for your date. See the full menu for photos and details.
The Best Time of Year for a Party in Corona
This is a hibachi party in your own yard, so the weather decides more than the calendar does. The numbers below are six years of daily observations for Corona (2019–2024) — not a general Southern California average. Ten miles inland around here can mean fifteen degrees, so a July evening in Corona is its own question.
Best months for an evening party
April through November
Best months for a lunch party
April through May and November
July in Corona averages a high of 93°F, against 65°F in January. From July through August the afternoon is genuinely hot next to a teppanyaki grill, so we suggest starting at or after sunset in those months and saving lunch bookings for the cooler half of the year.
Rain is worth planning around in March, when about 26% of days see measurable precipitation. That is not a reason to avoid the month — it is a reason to have a plan: a 10'x10' pop-up tent over the chef's station, or seat your guests indoors and let the chef cook on the patio.
Evenings run longest in June, when the sun sets around 8:03pm. If you want the show finishing as the light goes — which is the version everyone photographs — start about ninety minutes before sunset for your month and work back from the table below.
Corona is 27.1 miles from our base by road. That is inside our free 50-mile radius, so your quote carries no travel fee at all.

| Feb | 66°F | 46°F | 22% | 6:34pm |

What We Actually Buy
Almost nobody in mobile hibachi will tell you the grade of what goes on the grill — you get “fresh ingredients” and a photo. Here is the actual spec for a Corona party, because at $59.90 a head you should be able to check.
- 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
Terry Ho’s yum yum sauce and Japanese ginger dressing
The ones you already recognise from the restaurant. Both contain egg.
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. We can't promise a nut- or sesame-free table — the sauces and gyoza are commercial products, the gyoza contain sesame, and one sauce is made in a plant that also handles peanuts. Tell us the allergy when you book and we'll check the labels in use for your date.

Corona Hibachi FAQ
Is there a travel fee to Corona?
Sometimes a modest one depending on your address — it's calculated automatically and shown in your instant quote before you commit to anything.
Can you do a large party of 40+ in my backyard?
Yes — that's what IE backyards are for. We bring additional chefs and grills, run simultaneous stations, and you still make just one reservation.
Do you serve Eastvale and Norco?
Yes — Eastvale, Norco, Chino Hills, and the surrounding IE communities are all in our service area.
What does hibachi at home cost in Corona?
$59.90 per adult, $29.90 per child 5–12, and a flat $5 for kids under 5, $599 event minimum — chef, grill, food, show, setup, and cleanup included. Weekday Special ($45.90/adult, Mon–Thu, 15+ guests) also applies.
How much space do you need in Corona?
About a 6x8 ft flat area 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 Corona 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 72 hours before your event and your $19.90 deposit is refunded in full. Inside 72 hours the deposit may become non-refundable. 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.
