Frequently Asked Questions

Our professional hibachi chef travels to your Maine location with all necessary equipment and fresh ingredients.

Our chef cooks your meal with incredible entertainment and flair, then cleans up everything when done. You just relax and enjoy the show!

Pricing for Maine hibachi events varies based on group size, menu selection, and location. Our Classic package starts around $50-60 per person for groups of 8+. Premium packages run $70-85/person and our Deluxe package (with Maine lobster tail) is $95-120/person. Contact us at (917) 819-9919 for a personalized quote for your specific Maine event.

We require a minimum of 8 guests for all Maine hibachi events. This ensures the best experience and cost-effectiveness. We can comfortably accommodate groups up to 50+ guests — we may bring additional chefs for very large Maine events. Just let us know your expected guest count when booking!

We serve all of Maine! From Portland, South Portland, and the greater Greater Portland area to Bangor, Augusta, Lewiston, Bar Harbor, Kennebunk, Brunswick, Rockland, Camden, and everywhere in between. We travel statewide from Kittery in the south to Presque Isle and Fort Kent in the north. Additional travel fees may apply for very remote Maine locations.

Very little! We bring our professional-grade portable hibachi grill, all cooking equipment, utensils, ingredients, and condiments. You need to provide: a flat outdoor space (minimum 10x10 feet) or a well-ventilated indoor space, a standard 110V electrical outlet within 50 feet, and seating or tables for your Maine guests. We set up, cook, and clean up — you just host!

We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance for most Maine events. However, summer events along the Maine coast (Portland, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Bar Harbor) and major holidays book out 4-8 weeks ahead. Fall foliage season is also very popular in Maine! The sooner you reach out, the better your chances of securing your preferred date.

Yes! All our Maine hibachi packages are all-inclusive. We bring fresh proteins, vegetables, rice, noodles, all sauces (yum yum, ginger, teriyaki), our commercial-grade hibachi grill, utensils, serving dishes, and cleaning supplies. You don't need to buy or prepare anything — we handle it all from setup to cleanup.

Absolutely! We accommodate a wide range of dietary needs for Maine guests. We offer vegetarian and vegan options (tofu hibachi), gluten-free preparations, shellfish-free menus, and can work around most food allergies. Please inform us of all dietary restrictions when booking your Maine event so we can prepare accordingly and ensure everyone enjoys the meal safely.

A typical Maine hibachi event lasts 2-3 hours from setup to cleanup. The cooking performance itself is approximately 60-90 minutes for 8-20 guests, longer for larger groups. Setup takes about 30-45 minutes before cooking begins, and cleanup takes about 20-30 minutes after. We'll give you a precise timeline estimate when you book.

Maine weather can be unpredictable! We can absolutely do indoor hibachi in Maine homes. Our grills are designed to work indoors with proper ventilation — a garage with the door open, a covered porch, or a large well-ventilated room works great. We'll discuss indoor options when you book, and we always have a rain plan ready for Maine outdoor events.

Yes! Maine weddings are one of our specialties. Whether you're getting married on the coast in Kennebunkport, in the mountains near Sunday River, or at a barn venue in the countryside, we can create a spectacular hibachi experience for your wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, or bridal shower. Contact us early — Maine wedding season books very quickly!

Our Maine hibachi menu features a wide selection of proteins: chicken breast, filet mignon, NY strip steak, jumbo shrimp, fresh salmon, sea scallops, and of course — Maine lobster tail for our Deluxe package. We take pride in using fresh, high-quality proteins for every Maine event. Custom protein combinations can be arranged for special dietary needs.

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority at every Maine hibachi event. Our professional chefs are fully trained in safe hibachi practices and fire handling. We use commercial-grade equipment with proper safety features, follow all Maine fire safety guidelines, maintain a safe cooking area, and carry full liability insurance. Our chefs always brief guests on safe viewing distances before the performance begins.
