What Your Huntington Beach 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.

Where We Cook in Huntington Beach
We have set the grill up in most kinds of Huntington Beach space there is. These are the three we see most.
Downtown Beach Blocks
Walk-to-the-pier homes with compact yards and a lot of foot traffic outside. We stage from the driveway and set up out of the walkway.
Huntington Harbour Decks
Waterfront lots where the grill goes on the deck and the boat is right there. Wind is the only planning factor.
Fire-Pit Backyards
Inland tract homes with fire pits and big patios — the classic Surf City birthday and graduation setup.
Parking, Space & Setup in Huntington Beach
Onshore wind is the real Huntington Beach variable and it picks up in the late afternoon almost every day. It does not stop the show, but a grill set in an open corner with nothing to block it runs harder and cooks slower, so we look for a wall, fence, or the lee side of the house. If your only usable space is fully exposed, tell us and the chef brings extra wind shielding.
Because the ocean keeps midday temperatures reasonable here nearly year-round, lunch and afternoon bookings are a genuine option in Huntington Beach rather than a seasonal one. Downtown blocks near the pier are metered and busy through the evening, and summer weekends make a driveway space genuinely valuable for load-in. Harbour homes are usually easy to park at but often mean a walk down a side yard or a dock ramp — worth mentioning at booking. We need roughly a 6x8 ft flat area, about 10 ft of overhead clearance, and enough distance from a fire pit that the two flames are not competing.

The Huntington Beach Hibachi Menu
Every guest picks two proteins, and everyone gets the full plate — garlic butter fried rice, grilled vegetables, house salad, and sauces. Guests can each choose differently; the chef cooks to order at your table.
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
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 Huntington Beach
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 Huntington Beach (2019–2024) — not a general Southern California average. Ten miles inland around here can mean fifteen degrees, so a July evening in Huntington Beach is its own question.
Best months for an evening party
June through October
Best months for a lunch party
April through November
July in Huntington Beach averages a high of 76°F, against 63°F in January. No month here averages above 93°F, which is why Huntington Beach takes daytime bookings comfortably across most of the year.
Rain is worth planning around in March, when about 25% 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.
Huntington Beach is 29.8 miles from our base by road. That is inside our free 50-mile radius, so your quote carries no travel fee at all.

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 Huntington Beach 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.

Huntington Beach Hibachi FAQ
Does the marine layer or beach wind affect the show?
No — our chefs cook beachside all year and bring windscreens for exposed patios. If real rain threatens, a 10'x10' pop-up tent over the chef's station keeps things going; you provide the tent, we do not supply them.
Can you set up near our fire pit or pool?
Yes, with a safe buffer. The grill needs about an 8x8 ft footprint on a stable surface away from pool splash zones — our chef sorts the layout on arrival.
Do you serve Sunset Beach and Fountain Valley too?
Yes — the whole north OC coast and inland to Westminster and Fountain Valley are regular service areas.
What does hibachi at home cost in Huntington Beach?
$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.
How much space do you need in Huntington Beach?
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 Huntington Beach 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.
