Corona details
Parking, stairs & setup
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 a flat area about the size of a king-size bed and roughly 10 ft of overhead clearance.

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 Corona: April through November; best lunch months: April through May and November.
July 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 start at or after sunset in those months. Rain is worth planning around in March, when about 26% 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 8:03pm); start 90 minutes before sunset for the golden-hour show.
Travel: none for Corona — 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.

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 kids under 5 eat free, $599 event minimum — chef, grill, 2 proteins per guest, veggies, fried rice, salad and the show included. Weekday Special ($54.90/adult, Mon–Thu, with a free appetizer of your choice: gyoza, edamame or spring rolls) also applies.
How much space do you need in Corona?
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 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 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.
