Governors Island hibachi catering — common questions
Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Governors Island?
Yes. Every Governors Island 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 New York County backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.
How much does hibachi catering cost in Governors Island?
Our hibachi chef service is $54.99 per adult and $30 per child, with a $500 minimum per event. Travel to Governors Island 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 Governors Island neighborhoods do you cover?
We cover roughly 1 neighborhoods in and around Governors Island, including New York 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 Governors Island 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 Governors Island. 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.
What Governors Island guests ask for when they search hibachi catering
Most people find us searching hibachi catering near me from a Governors Island address, and the answer is yes -- the chef drives to you. Hibachi at home is the whole product: your kitchen stays clean and the cooking happens where the guests already are. A private hibachi chef handles the menu, the cooking, the show, and the grill cleanup before leaving. Backyard hibachi is the most requested setup here, though decks, driveways, and covered patios all work the same.
