Private hibachi catering in Carmel

Hibachi catering for Carmel events

A Carmel birthday in Putnam County, a graduation dinner in Carmel, a corporate evening in Carmel — the format is the same every time. Our hibachi chef arrives with the grill, the food, and the knife work, and cooks it a few feet from your guests. No restaurant reservation, no rushing the table, no driving anyone home.

New York State coverage — a chef travels to Carmel in Putnam County for your event. We have cooked across 1 Carmel-area neighborhoods, from Putnam County to Carmel — apartments, rooftops, backyards, driveways, community clubhouses, parks with a permit, and office spaces.

This is a local chef, not a road trip. We staff New York with hibachi chefs who already work the Putnam County market, so Carmel dates are served from inside the state. Travel runs $50 flat for the first 50 miles, tolls included, then $1 per mile.

Carmel hibachi catering — common questions

Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Carmel?

Yes. Every Carmel booking is in-home hibachi — the chef arrives with a commercial mobile hibachi grill, propane, all the food, sauces, and serving gear. You provide the space and the tables; we bring everything that cooks. The chef needs about an 8 by 8 foot clear area, and Putnam County backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

How much does hibachi catering cost in Carmel?

Our hibachi chef service is $54.99 per adult and $30 per child, with a $500 minimum per event. Travel to Carmel is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile beyond that. Those figures are before tax — sales tax is calculated on the event address, so your quote will show it separately.

Which Carmel neighborhoods do you cover?

We cover roughly 1 neighborhoods in and around Carmel, including Putnam County. If you do not see yours listed we very likely still serve it — ask and we will quote the travel cost before you book.

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Carmel on a weekend?

Yes, and weekends are what we do most. We operate seven days a week including Saturday, which is our busiest hibachi party slot in Carmel. Summer and holiday weekends fill first, so book two to three weeks out if your date is fixed.

Is this hibachi or teppanyaki, and what does the chef actually cook?

It is Japanese teppanyaki cooked on a flat-top hibachi grill — the same style as a hibachi restaurant, run in your own space. The chef cooks fried rice, vegetables, and your chosen proteins to order, and performs the knife work, the onion volcano, and the catch-it-in-your-mouth routine while cooking. Gluten-friendly, halal, and vegetarian versions are all available.
