You've hosted the backyard cookout. The restaurant group dinner. The catered event with the forgettable buffet. None of those produce what a private hibachi chef produces: a crowd that doesn't check their phones for two hours, kids who are genuinely transfixed, adults who look up from their conversations and watch every single dish get cooked. It's not just dinner — it's dinner with a show built in, at your own home, on your own schedule.
Hibachi Connect sends a certified teppanyaki chef directly to your Matthews backyard, deck, or driveway. They arrive fully equipped — propane grill, all proteins, fried rice, vegetables, sauces, plates, and chopsticks — 5–10 minutes before your start time. Two proteins per guest at the standard rate: chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, or tofu. Every plate cooked to order at the grill while the chef performs. Complete cleanup when the last plate is done. Your backyard is exactly as you left it.
The Matthews area's backyard event culture is one of the strongest in the state — private hibachi fits it perfectly. $60 per adult, $30 per child (ages 4–12), $600 event minimum. Most Matthews quotes are returned the same day. Graduation season and summer weekends book fast — contact us early for your date.
Whether it's a Charlotte corporate event, a bachelorette weekend in South Charlotte, or a Myers Park anniversary dinner — the process is seamless on your end and exceptional for every guest.
One simple rate. Everything included — chef, grill, ingredients, full setup and cleanup. No surprises.
Corporate dinners, bachelorette weekends, birthday parties, and neighborhood gatherings — private hibachi turns any Charlotte occasion into a full evening.

Corporate teams, bachelorette groups, and Charlotte families — here's what they're saying.
Check Availability"We hired Hibachi Connect for a corporate team dinner in Charlotte — 28 people on the back patio of our office space. Chef was professional, show was incredible, every plate was perfect. Three different colleagues asked me for the contact info before the night was over."
"Bachelorette weekend in South Charlotte — the hibachi night was hands down the best part of the whole trip. Our chef had the group completely locked in for two hours. Every single woman in that party has recommended it to someone since."
"Milestone 50th birthday for my husband, backyard party in Myers Park. Everything was perfect. The chef arrived exactly on time, the food was outstanding, and the cleanup was total. We've already booked again for our anniversary."
