In Texas, how you host says something about you. When you book a private hibachi chef for your Universal City event, you're not just feeding your guests — you're making a statement. A certified teppanyaki chef arrives at your home with a full propane grill, fresh proteins, and the kind of live-fire performance that turns an ordinary backyard into the most talked-about venue in the neighborhood.
The chef handles every detail from first flame to final plate. Your guests gather around the grill watching their food cooked to order right in front of them — shrimp tossed mid-air, the flaming onion volcano, fried rice layered in real time. You take the credit for throwing the best party anyone's been to this year. You barely lifted a finger.
We've set up in backyards all across Texas — quinceañeras in the suburbs, graduation parties on covered patios, corporate cookouts for 80 employees, and plain old Saturday nights that became the kind of evening everyone else's party gets compared to. If you can gather your people in Universal City, we'll handle the rest. Starting at $60 per adult, $600 event minimum.
Whether it's a Universal City quinceañera for 50 or a graduation dinner for 20, the process is the same: simple on your end, spectacular for your guests.
One simple rate. Everything included — chef, grill, ingredients, full setup and cleanup. No surprises.
From quinceañeras to graduation parties — our chefs bring the full teppanyaki experience to your backyard.

Check Availability"My daughter's quinceañera after-party in our backyard — 55 guests, two chef stations, and every single person was cheering around that grill. Cousins came in from out of state and said it was the best party they'd been to in years. Already planning a repeat for her brother's graduation."
"Graduation party for my son — 45 guests in the backyard, chef had the fire going and kids losing their minds over the tricks. Grandparents sat front-row and loved every second. Showed up on time, set up in 20 minutes, left the yard spotless."
"Company cookout for 70 employees — outdoor setup, two chefs running back to back. Nobody left the grill the whole evening. We ditched our boring BBQ caterer and this is the only way we do company events from now on."
