Private Hibachi in Riverside, CA — Chef at Your Door
Backyard teppanyaki in the Inland Empire. A professional teppanyaki chef brings the grill, the food and the full fire show to your backyard, patio or clubhouse.
Serving Hibachi in Riverside, CA neighborhoods around Mission Inn, Mount Rubidoux, UC Riverside.
Riverside is the anchor of the Inland Empire, and it offers something the coastal cities cannot: price, space and a lot of newer housing stock. Woodcrest, Orangecrest and the Canyon Crest area have backyards that comfortably handle a 40-guest teppanyaki dinner.
The newer master-planned neighborhoods on the city’s south and east sides are the easiest places to host, with wide lots, level pads and driveway parking that fits our vehicle without discussion. Historic districts near downtown and around the Mission Inn have older, tighter parcels where we check access first. One Riverside-specific note: summer heat inland is real. From June through September we recommend a start at 5:30 pm or later so the grill area is out of direct sun.

Questions From Riverside Hosts
How do you handle the Inland Empire summer heat?
Timing, mainly. We schedule Riverside events at or after 5:30 pm in July and August so your chef is not working in full afternoon sun, and we bring shade for the prep station. The food and the show are unaffected.
Do you charge extra for Riverside because of the drive?
A flat travel fee applies and is quoted up front, based on distance from our Orange County base. There are no hidden mileage or fuel charges added later u2014 the number on your confirmation is the number you pay.
