Hibachi at Home in Hollywood

The Hills are the whole Hollywood logistics story. Beachwood Canyon, Outpost, and the streets off Mulholland are narrow, steep, and frequently permit-only, and many homes sit two or three flights below or above the street. The chef can absolutely work with that — it is a normal Hills party — but it needs to be said at booking so the right equipment cart comes and the arrival window is wide enough. A held driveway or garage space is genuinely the difference between a relaxed start and a scramble.

Short-term rentals need one check before you book us: LA's rules and most Hills rental listings address open-flame cooking and evening noise directly, and an early-evening start almost always sits comfortably inside quiet hours. During red-flag fire conditions we keep the grill on hardscape and well clear of brush — non-negotiable up here. We need a flat area about the size of a king-size bed and about 10 ft of overhead clearance; deep eaves and low deck roofs are the common reason we shift the position a few feet.

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 Hollywood: April through November; best lunch months: April through June and October through November.

July averages a high of 85°F against 65°F in January. No month here averages above 93°F, so Hollywood takes daytime bookings comfortably across most of the year. Rain is worth planning around in March, when about 28% 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 8:06pm); start 90 minutes before sunset for the golden-hour show.

Travel: none for Hollywood — it sits inside our free 50-mile radius, so your quote carries no travel fee at all.

Averages from the Open-Meteo historical archive, 2019–2024.

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.

Hills Deck Dinners. Golden hour, a view deck, and a chef working the grill while the city lights come on. The most-photographed party we do.

Wrap & Industry Parties. End-of-production dinners where the crew has seen enough craft services for one lifetime and wants something cooked in front of them.

Short-Term Rental Groups. Visiting groups renting a Hills house for the weekend who want one real dinner without a reservation or a rideshare.

Birthday Pool Parties. Daytime pool, evening hibachi, same address. Nobody moves, nobody drives.

See how each celebration plays out: birthdays, pool parties, family reunions and more party ideas.

Hillside View Decks. Hollywood Hills and Beachwood homes with stepped, cantilevered decks. Beautiful, and the tightest access in our LA coverage.

Flats Bungalow Yards. Melrose Hill, Franklin Village, and Larchmont-adjacent lots with flat yards and a driveway — our easiest Hollywood setups.

Vacation Rental Pool Decks. Short-term rental properties with pool decks. Check the listing's open-flame and event policy before you book us.

Hollywood parties are usually one of two things: a hillside deck with a view, or a flats bungalow with a yard and string lights. Both are great hibachi venues, and both are far better than trying to get a group of fifteen into a Sunset restaurant on a Saturday night.

We cook throughout Hollywood, the Hollywood Hills, Beachwood Canyon, Los Feliz, and the surrounding blocks. Flat rate $59.90 per adult, $29.90 per child 5–12, and kids under 5 eat free, $599 event minimum, 2 proteins per guest, veggies, fried rice and salad included.
