Private hibachi catering across Ventura County

Ventura is about 155 miles from our base in Murrieta, and the county around it runs from beach towns to orchard country. Our chefs bring a full hibachi show to Pierpont beach houses, Ventura Keys patios, ranch properties in Ojai and family backyards in Camarillo and Thousand Oaks, then clean up and head home.

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.

Harbor and beach-town parties

Along the coast, life centers on the water: Ventura Harbor, the beach cottages of Pierpont, the Ventura Keys with docks behind the houses, and in Oxnard, Channel Islands Harbor, Mandalay Bay, Hollywood Beach and Silver Strand. They are a natural fit for birthday dinners, summer reunions and beach-house weekends with the whole family.

The afternoon breeze off the ocean is the thing to plan for. Set the grill where the house or a wall blocks the wind, and expect the chef to scale back the flames on a gusty evening. We set up on a flat patio, driveway or deck rather than on sand, and if you have a dock or a slip in the marina in mind, check its rules before the party.

Ojai and the inland valleys

Up Highway 33, the Ojai Valley is a favorite for retreats, small weddings and long dinners outdoors. Summers there are hotter than on the coast and evenings cool off fast once the sun drops, so a later start and a few heaters cover both. Many hosts like to time dinner around the pink glow that lights up the Topatopa Mountains at sunset.

Ranch properties and venues around Ojai, Santa Paula and Fillmore often sit on private or gravel roads, and many have their own rules on outside vendors and open flames. Ask the property first, then send us directions, gate information and where we can park close to the setup spot.

Camarillo and the Conejo Valley: a shorter drive

Not every Ventura County address is a long way from us. Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Moorpark and Simi Valley sit closer to Los Angeles, so the drive from Murrieta, and the travel fee with it, is usually lower than for the coast. Camarillo falls in between.

These suburbs are mostly single-family neighborhoods with real backyards, which suits a graduation or a big birthday with several tables around the grill. Inland summers are warmer than at the beach, and fall can bring dry Santa Ana winds. On red flag days, follow any local fire restrictions; the chef keeps the fire tricks low whenever the wind picks up.

Planning tips for Ventura

  • Block the ocean breeze

    At a beach house, put the grill on the side sheltered by the house or a wall. It keeps the cooking even and the guests warmer.

  • Mind the drive through LA

    Our route crosses Los Angeles before it reaches the 101, and weekday evenings are the slowest. A start time after rush hour gives the team room to set up.

  • Share road and gate details

    For ranches and hillside homes, send directions, gate codes and notes on gravel or steep drives so we arrive with the right equipment.

  • Check beach and park rules

    For a gathering at a public beach or park, check the city’s rules for reservations and cooking before you choose the spot.
