"Absolutely incredible experience. Our chef set up in 25 minutes and had every single guest in Merriam on their feet watching. Best dinner party we've ever thrown — and it was at our own house."

Hibachi at Home in Merriam
The Show Comes to You in Merriam
Hibachi dining has always been as much about the performance as the food — and Hibachi Connect brings that whole experience directly to your Merriam backyard. A certified teppanyaki chef arrives at your home with a full propane grill, fresh ingredients, and the kind of fire-trick showmanship that turns an ordinary dinner into the event your guests talk about for years.
From the first flying shrimp to the flaming onion volcano, every minute of the cook is pure entertainment. Your chef engages the whole crowd — kids, grandparents, first-timers, hibachi veterans — and personally prepares every plate on the spot. No shared platters. No cold food. Every bite cooked to order, right in front of you.
We've built the service around one idea: the hibachi experience should be even better at home than at the restaurant. No waiting for a table, no crowded dining room, no rushed turns. Just your people, your space, and a chef who owns the room. That's hibachi at home in Merriam — and it starts at $60 per adult.

"The food was better than any hibachi restaurant I've been to, and watching the chef cook it live made it 10x more fun. The shrimp toss alone is worth booking for. Will absolutely be doing this again."

"Booked for a corporate dinner — 40 people, two chef stations, seamless from start to finish. Our team still talks about it. Way more impactful than a restaurant reservation."
