Hibachi catering for Skaneateles events
A Skaneateles birthday in Finger Lakes, a graduation dinner in Skaneateles, a corporate evening in Skaneateles — 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 Skaneateles for your event. That covers 1 neighborhoods in and around Skaneateles — Finger Lakes, Skaneateles and everything between — so the chef usually knows the parking, the access, and where the grill can safely go before arriving.
Skaneateles is covered by our New York chef network rather than by a chef flying in, which is what keeps weekend dates open here. Travel is billed as a flat $50 for the first 50 miles, tolls included, plus $1 per mile past that.
Where the chef sets up in Skaneateles
Backyard hibachi is still the most common Skaneateles booking — the chef needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot clear area and works fine on grass, patio, deck, or driveway. Rooftops and terraces work as long as there is open air above the grill; we bring our own propane and a fire-safe base. Indoor hibachi is possible in Skaneateles homes with a range hood, an open garage, or a covered porch — tell us the room and we will confirm ventilation before the date.

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Skaneateles 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 Skaneateles. 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.
