Hibachi at Home in Diamond Bar
Diamond Bar is hillside suburbia at its most hibachi-friendly: big lots, wide patios, pools, and quiet streets where an outdoor dinner party runs late without anyone minding. It sits at the corner of three counties and gets served properly by almost no one in this business.
We cook throughout Diamond Bar, Walnut, Chino Hills, Rowland Heights, and the surrounding area. Flat rate $59.90 per adult, $29.90 per child 5–12, and a flat $5 for kids under 5, $599 event minimum, setup and cleanup included.

What Your Diamond Bar 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.
The price is on this page
$59.90 per adult, published, no form required. Several services in this market quote only after you hand over your contact details.

Where We Cook in Diamond Bar
We have set the grill up in most kinds of Diamond Bar space there is. These are the three we see most.
Country Estates Properties
Gated hillside homes with large terraces and views. Gate access for the chef is the one thing to arrange ahead.
Pool & Patio Backyards
Wide hardscaped decks with the grill well clear of the water. The everyday Diamond Bar setup.
Tract Homes with Deep Yards
Room for a long table and 25+ guests, with a driveway to park in and short load-in.
Parking, Space & Setup in Diamond Bar
If you are in The Country Estates or another gated community, send the gate code or add the chef to the guard list when you confirm — otherwise the chef waits at the kiosk while your party waits inside. Everywhere else in Diamond Bar, driveways are long and load-in is quick.
Heat and wind are the scheduling factors. Inland summer afternoons are genuinely hot next to a teppanyaki grill, so we usually suggest a sunset start in July and August. Outside the hot months — roughly October through May — midday is a genuinely good time out here, and lunch bookings on a shaded patio are easier to schedule than summer evening slots. Hillside lots that back onto open space catch a real afternoon breeze, so we set the grill against a wall or fence where possible, and during red-flag fire conditions we keep everything on hardscape well clear of brush. We need about a 6x8 ft flat area and roughly 10 ft of overhead clearance.

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 Diamond Bar
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 Diamond Bar (2019–2024) — not a general Southern California average. Ten miles inland around here can mean fifteen degrees, so a July evening in Diamond Bar is its own question.
Best months for an evening party
May through November
Best months for a lunch party
May and October through November
July in Diamond Bar averages a high of 92°F, against 64°F in January. From 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 31% 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 8:04pm. 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.

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 Diamond Bar 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.

Diamond Bar Hibachi FAQ
We live in a gated community. What do you need?
A gate code, or the chef added to the guard list under the booking name. Send it when you confirm and the chef drives straight in. Without it, entry can take fifteen minutes off your start time.
Can you set up next to the pool?
Yes — pool decks are our most common Diamond Bar setup. We place the grill on level hardscape with clearance from the water, railings, and anything overhanging, and the chef manages the flame throughout.
Do you serve Chino Hills and Walnut?
Yes — Chino Hills, Walnut, Rowland Heights, Phillips Ranch, Pomona, and Brea are all regular service areas.
What does hibachi at home cost in Diamond Bar?
$59.90 per adult, $29.90 per child 5–12, and a flat $5 for kids under 5, $599 event minimum — chef, grill, food, live show, setup, and cleanup included. Weekday Special pricing ($45.90/adult, Mon-Thu, 15+ guests) applies here too.
How much space do you need in Diamond Bar?
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 Diamond Bar 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.
