Private Chef Experience in New York City

Private Hibachi Chef in New York City

In a city with more Michelin stars per square mile than anywhere else on the planet, the private hibachi chef is still something different. No restaurant in New York can give your group a teppanyaki chef on your rooftop, a performance built around your guests, and every plate cooked live in front of the people you actually want to be with. Hibachi Connect brings a certified chef to any NYC outdoor space — brownstone backyard, building terrace, rooftop deck, corporate event patio — with the full setup and nothing for you to manage.

Your chef arrives 5–10 minutes before your scheduled start time with a propane teppan grill, all fresh proteins, rice, vegetables, house-made sauces, plates, and chopsticks. The performance runs 90–120 minutes from the first flame to the final plate — fire tricks, flying shrimp, precision knife work, and every dish cooked to order in front of your crowd. One station for up to 20 guests; dual stations for larger NYC events up to 60+. Full cleanup when dinner is done.

New York City weekends and rooftop events fill 3–5 weeks out. Corporate team dinners, bachelorette weekends, birthday celebrations, and milestone nights are our most common bookings across the boroughs. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum. The chef comes to you — no reservation required.

What New York City Guests
Are Saying

Manhattan and Brooklyn hosts are raising the bar on private entertaining — rooftop dinners, penthouse gatherings, and loft parties that demand something far beyond a restaurant reservation. Our certified chefs travel directly to your NYC space with the full teppanyaki setup and handle every detail, including complete cleanup. Here's what New York City hosts are saying:

Guests at a New York City rooftop hibachi event

"Booked for my wife's 40th on our Brooklyn rooftop — 20 guests, Manhattan skyline behind the chef the whole night. People are still talking about it three months later. Nothing we've done in New York has come close to this."

Marcus W.
Brooklyn Heights, NY
Birthday Party

"Bachelorette crew of 16 at a Williamsburg rental. We'd done every bar and restaurant — hibachi night was different on every level. Chef had everyone around the grill, the fire tricks were incredible, and the food was better than any place we ate all weekend."

JT
Jasmine T.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY
Bachelorette Party

"Team dinner for our Midtown finance office — 28 people, rooftop venue on the East Side. Zero effort from us, incredible energy from the chef. Every single person said it was the best company event we've done. This is now our default for team entertaining."
