Can hibachi be set up in a Cranford backyard or patio?

Yes — suburban backyards and patios are our ideal setup environment. We need a flat outdoor area of at least 10×10 ft. Deck, lawn, paver patio, or stone patio all work. Our equipment is fully self-contained — we bring everything and take everything with us.

Do you serve Morris County, Bergen County, and Union County suburbs?

Yes — Morris, Bergen, Somerset, and Union Counties are among our most active NJ service areas. Towns like Morristown, Montclair, Summit, Westfield, and Ridgewood fall within our standard service radius with no extra travel fee in most cases.

How far in advance should I book for a Cranford graduation party?

Graduation season (May–June) is our highest-demand window in suburban NJ. We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance for any May or June Saturday event. Weekday graduation dinners have more flexibility — usually 2–3 weeks notice is sufficient.

Can you handle a large graduation or milestone party in Cranford?

Absolutely — parties of 25–60 guests are common in suburban NJ. For groups over 25, we bring two chef stations running in parallel to maintain quality and timing. Larger milestone events (anniversaries, retirement parties, big birthdays) are a specialty.

Do you do corporate team events for NJ companies?

Yes — Morris County, Somerset County, and Bergen County have strong demand from pharmaceutical, biotech, and technology companies. We can set up at corporate outdoor spaces, catering venues, or private homes. Full event coordination included.

What do I need to provide for the event?

Tables and chairs for your guests. We bring everything else: the teppan grill, propane, all ingredients and proteins, sauces, plates, chopsticks, and serving utensils. Setup and complete cleanup are fully included.
