What makes Sunshine Hibachi's mobile catering unique?
Sunshine Hibachi Catering brings the full hibachi grill experience to your location—backyards, parks, driveways, or event venues. Our skilled chefs cook fresh meals live in front of your guests, adding excitement with fun tricks, humor, and fire shows. Unlike traditional catering, it’s interactive, entertaining, and memorable. We handle everything from setup to cleanup, so you can relax and enjoy a restaurant-style hibachi show right at your event.
How far in advance should I book a hibachi chef?
To ensure availability, it’s best to book your hibachi chef at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance. Our schedule fills up quickly, especially on weekends and during holiday seasons. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, but early reservations guarantee you get your preferred date, time, and chef. Reach out to us as soon as you start planning your party or event to secure your spot.
Do you offer hibachi catering for both small and large events?
Yes, Sunshine Hibachi Catering is perfect for all event sizes—from intimate family dinners to large celebrations like birthdays, weddings, and corporate gatherings. We can accommodate as few as 10 guests or serve over 100 with multiple chefs and setups. Each event is tailored to meet your needs, ensuring the same high-quality food, service, and performance—no matter the group size.
What equipment do you bring for the on-site hibachi experience?
We bring everything needed for a full hibachi experience, including the hibachi grill, cooking tools, ingredients, and a skilled chef. All we require is an outdoor space—like a backyard, patio, or driveway—to set up safely. We also bring disposable plates, utensils, and napkins. You won’t need to worry about cleanup or setup—we handle it all so you and your guests can simply enjoy the show.
Are vegetarian or gluten-free hibachi options available?
Absolutely! Sunshine Hibachi Catering proudly offers vegetarian and gluten-free options to accommodate dietary needs. Guests can enjoy delicious alternatives like tofu, mixed vegetables, rice, and gluten-free sauces upon request. Just let us know in advance about any special dietary preferences or allergies, and we’ll prepare a customized hibachi meal that everyone can enjoy safely and deliciously.
