Hibachi at Home, Miami Style

Hibachi Guru in Miami brings mobile hibachi catering and a private teppanyaki chef to your home, your condo terrace, your vacation rental, or your waterfront dock anywhere in Miami-Dade. The chef arrives with the grill and the ingredients, cooks in front of your group for about 90 minutes, and runs the whole show: onion volcano, knife tricks, sake squirts, and the games that turn dinner into the night. It is the Miami alternative to fighting for a Brickell reservation and then losing half the table to the valet line.

Service Area Across Miami-Dade

Our chefs cover the full Miami metro. On the mainland we regularly serve Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, Wynwood, Midtown, Little Havana, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, South Miami, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Kendall, Doral, and Miami Springs. Across the causeways we cover South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach, Surfside, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles, and Aventura. We also serve North Miami, Miami Shores, and Miami Gardens, and we reach Homestead and the Redland for larger bookings. Outside this area, send us the address with your quote request and we will confirm. Hosting somewhere else in Florida? We also bring hibachi to Fort Myers, Orlando, Tampa, and Key West.

Where Hibachi Works in Miami

Miami gives us more venue variety than almost any city we serve. Waterfront homes in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, and along the Miami Beach canals are the classic setup: the grill goes on the dock or the pool deck and the group eats with the water behind them. Vacation rentals in Wynwood, Little Havana, and North Beach with a backyard or courtyard are a natural fit for bachelorette and birthday weekends. Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles high-rises work when the building allows open-flame cooking on a terrace or the pool level, so check the rules with your building or host before you book. Single-family homes in Kendall, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, and Doral usually have a patio or covered lanai that is ideal. Indoor hibachi is possible in a well-ventilated space; we walk through your layout when you book.

The Miami Events We Cook Most

• Bachelorette and bachelor weekends. South Beach and Wynwood rental groups book hibachi as the one dinner of the weekend that does not involve a reservation, a cover charge, or a ride share. The show is the pregame.

• Birthdays. Milestone birthdays at waterfront homes, and family birthday parties where the kids get front-row seats to the onion volcano.

• Family gatherings and quinceañeras. Multi-generation dinners in Kendall, Hialeah, Coral Gables, and Doral where a private chef lets the hosts actually sit down.

• Dock dinners. Waterfront properties in the Gables, the Grove, and Key Biscayne where the grill sets up dockside.

• Corporate and team dinners. Brickell and Doral teams book hibachi at a leader's home or at an office with an outdoor space as a change from the usual steakhouse.

• Big-weekend groups. Art Basel in December, the Miami Grand Prix in May, Ultra in March, and Heat and Dolphins game weekends bring groups to town who want one dinner where everyone is together.

Miami Weather and Outdoor Setup

Miami's dry season, November through April, is about as good as outdoor hibachi gets: warm evenings, low humidity, and almost no rain. May through October is hot and humid with near-daily afternoon storms that usually clear by evening, so we recommend a start time after 6:30 pm and a covered patio, lanai, or terrace as the plan A for the grill and the table. Indoor setups need good ventilation and reasonable ceiling height, and we confirm your space works when you book.

What's on the Grill

Every guest picks two proteins from chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, scallops, or tofu, with filet mignon and lobster tail available as upgrades. Every meal comes with hibachi fried rice, grilled vegetables, a side salad, and our signature sauces. Vegan, gluten-free, and halal requests are easy to accommodate when you tell us at booking.

Miami Pricing

Pricing is $60 per adult and $30 per child under 13, with a $600 party minimum. Tipping your chef is always appreciated; most guests tip between 18% and 25%. Travel fees can apply outside the core metro and are confirmed with your quote. Tables and chairs can be added to your booking if your rental or terrace does not have enough seating for the group; mention it when you request a quote.

Miami Hibachi FAQ

Can you cook at a South Beach or Brickell condo? If the building allows open-flame cooking on the terrace, courtyard, or pool level, yes. Many high-rises do not, so confirm with your building or host first. Whole-house rentals and single-family homes are the easiest fit.

Do you set up on docks and waterfront properties? Yes, and it is one of our favorite Miami setups. We need a level surface with some clearance from the structure and room for the table so everyone can watch.

Do you serve Kendall, Doral, and Aventura? Yes. We serve all of Miami-Dade, from Aventura and Sunny Isles down through Kendall and Palmetto Bay, with Homestead available for larger bookings.

What if a summer storm rolls in? Miami afternoon storms usually pass before an evening start. If rain is in the forecast, you will need a covered or indoor cooking area; a covered patio, lanai, or tent keeps the event on schedule.

How far ahead should we book? Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable most of the year. For Art Basel, Grand Prix weekend, spring break, and the holidays, book as early as you can.
