Private hibachi catering across the Inland Empire

San Bernardino is about 62 miles north of our base in Murrieta, and from here our chefs cover the whole east valley, from Redlands, Highland and Loma Linda to Yucaipa, Colton and Rialto, plus the mountain towns above them. Whether you are planning a quinceañera for 150, a backyard birthday or a cabin weekend in the San Bernardino Mountains, we bring the grill, the food and the show and handle the cooking from start to finish.

Every booking includes a professional hibachi chef, fresh ingredients cooked on-site and an interactive fire show your guests will remember. Choose your proteins (steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, salmon or lobster) and we handle the rest.

Quinceañeras, weddings and big family parties

In San Bernardino a party for a hundred or more guests is nothing unusual, especially for a quinceañera, a wedding or a big anniversary. Hibachi scales in two ways. You can book one station for every 25 guests (four for a party of 100), each with its own chef and its own 12 × 8 ft space with the seating included, so guests eat fresh off the grill in groups; or, for 50 guests or more, the Buffet serves freshly cooked hibachi entrées and sides with disposable plates and no table setup.

For a quinceañera, build the hibachi into the evening’s timeline. The team arrives about an hour before dinner, and the cooking fits well between the grand entrance and the waltz. Event halls set their own rules on outside caterers and open flames, so confirm with the venue before you book and send us their requirements.

Redlands, Loma Linda and the east valley

Redlands is known for its historic homes, with deep lots, tall trees and long driveways around the University of Redlands and the older districts. Pick an open spot for the grill with nothing hanging overhead, and let us know if the yard is reached by stairs or a narrow side gate.

Loma Linda has a large vegetarian community, and hibachi adapts easily: we offer a full vegetarian option, with tofu as a vegetarian and vegan protein. Mention vegetarian guests and any allergies when you book so we can plan for them.

Highland, Yucaipa and the foothill neighborhoods have more room and more slope. Flat ground matters more than size, so a level patio or driveway beats a big lawn on a hill.

Cabin parties in Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead

Groups rent cabins in Big Bear Lake, Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs and Crestline for birthdays, reunions and holiday weekends, and a hibachi dinner on the deck means nobody has to cook for twenty in a rental kitchen.

Mountain events take a little more planning. Travel is calculated from the cabin’s own ZIP code, so it is higher than for San Bernardino itself. Winter storms can bring snow and chain controls on Highways 18, 330 and 38, so give us the exact address and any access notes. Check that the rental allows outdoor propane cooking, and check the current fire restrictions in the San Bernardino Mountains, which change with the season.

Nights at elevation are cool even in summer. Plan a covered deck or an open garage for the grill, and keep jackets and heaters handy for guests.

  • Confirm the hall’s rules

    Event halls and venues set their own rules for outside caterers and open flames. Ask before you book.

  • Send mountain access notes

    For cabins, include parking details and any steep or unpaved driveway. In winter, check road conditions before the date.

  • Respect the valley heat

    San Bernardino summers are hot. Start dinner in the evening and give the cooking area some shade during setup.

Hibachi in San Bernardino: common questions

How much is travel to San Bernardino?

Travel is billed one way from Murrieta. San Bernardino is about 62 miles away, which comes to roughly $185 for most addresses in the city. Mountain towns like Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead are farther and cost more. Each address is calculated from its ZIP code.

Can you cook at a Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead cabin?

Yes, when the rental allows outdoor propane cooking and current fire restrictions permit it. We need a flat 12 × 8 ft area on a deck, patio or driveway, plus a clear path for the team.

What does a quinceañera with hibachi cost?

The Basic Hibachi Experience starts at $70 per adult with a $700 minimum per event. A quinceañera usually has well over 20 guests, so a 18% gratuity is added on every package, and the Buffet adds its own service fee. Send your guest count and we will price stations or a buffet for you.

Do you have vegetarian options?

Yes. We offer a full vegetarian option, and tofu is available as a vegetarian and vegan protein. Let us know about vegetarian guests and allergies ahead of time.
