Hibachi at Home in West Hollywood
West Hollywood is dense, walkable, and full of small outdoor spaces that turn out to be perfect hibachi venues — a Norma Triangle backyard, a building courtyard, a rooftop deck off Santa Monica Boulevard. The party is close-in, and the show reads better at close range than it does across a big lawn.
We cook throughout WeHo, from the Sunset Strip down to Beverly Grove and across to the Design District. 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 West Hollywood 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.

Popular in West Hollywood
Birthday Dinner Parties
Fifteen to twenty-five people who would otherwise be fighting for a table on Santa Monica Boulevard. Everyone stays, everyone eats together.
Pride & Summer Gatherings
Rooftop and courtyard parties during the busiest weeks of the WeHo calendar, when getting a group seated anywhere is genuinely impossible.
Engagement Parties
Smaller, dressier evenings at home where the teppanyaki show is the entertainment and there is no venue minimum to hit.
Industry & Agency Dinners
Team celebrations at a house or building deck where a private room somewhere would have cost more and impressed people less.
Where We Cook in West Hollywood
We have set the grill up in most kinds of West Hollywood space there is. These are the three we see most.
Norma Triangle Backyards
Small, private yards behind classic WeHo homes. Compact setups where the whole party is within ten feet of the grill.
Building Courtyards & Pool Decks
Mid-century apartment complexes with shared courtyards. Great spaces, and the building's cooking policy decides it.
Rooftop Decks
Newer buildings off Santa Monica and Sunset with roof lounges and skyline views. Confirm open-flame approval early.
Parking, Space & Setup in West Hollywood
Parking is the defining WeHo constraint. Nearly every residential block is permit-only, meters run late on the commercial corridors, and the chef needs to be within about a block of your door with a grill and coolers. A guest permit, a driveway space, or a garage spot held for the chef is the single most useful thing you can arrange here — more so than in almost any other city we serve.
Shared courtyards and roof decks need building approval for open-flame cooking, and in WeHo's older mid-century complexes the answer varies building to building, so ask the manager or HOA before you book. Neighbors are close everywhere in this city, so we keep setup quiet, keep the footprint tight, and start the loud part of the show only when you are ready. We need roughly a 6x8 ft flat area and about 10 ft of overhead clearance in open air.

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 West Hollywood
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 West Hollywood (2019–2024) — not a general Southern California average. Ten miles inland around here can mean fifteen degrees, so a July evening in West Hollywood is its own question.
Best months for an evening party
April through November
Best months for a lunch party
April through June and October through November
July in West Hollywood averages a high of 85°F, against 65°F in January. No month here averages above 93°F, which is why West Hollywood takes daytime bookings comfortably across most of the year.
Rain is worth planning around in March, when about 28% 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 8:06pm. 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.
West Hollywood is 32.8 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 West Hollywood 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.

West Hollywood Hibachi FAQ
Is parking going to be a problem in West Hollywood?
It is the main thing to plan. Most residential blocks are permit-only and the chef needs to unload within about a block of your door. A guest permit, a driveway space, or a held garage spot solves it — tell us what you have when you book.
Can we do this in a building courtyard or on a roof deck?
Yes, with the building's approval for open-flame cooking. WeHo's older complexes vary building to building, so check with your manager or HOA a week ahead. We need open air, a roughly 6x8 ft flat area, and about 10 ft of overhead clearance.
Will the show bother the neighbors?
We set up quietly and keep the footprint compact, and the loud, fun part of the show only starts when you are ready. For an evening start, parties typically wrap well inside normal quiet hours.
What does hibachi at home cost in West Hollywood?
$59.90 per adult, $29.90 per child 5–12, and a flat $5 for kids under 5, $599 event minimum — chef, grill, 2 proteins per guest, fried rice, vegetables, salad, show, setup, and cleanup included.
How much space do you need in West Hollywood?
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 West Hollywood 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.
