Everything
You Need to Know

We bring the full hibachi restaurant experience to you — no need to go anywhere. A private chef arrives at your home or event space with everything needed to put on a live cooking show and serve a full meal.

Every SoGood Hibachi event includes:

• ✓ A private, dedicated hibachi chef who performs tableside
• ✓ A live fire show — tricks, flames, and full entertainment throughout the meal
• ✓ Fresh food cooked on-site: choice of 2 proteins per guest, hibachi fried rice, fresh vegetables, side salad, and our signature sauces
• ✓ Cold flavored sake — unlimited throughout the experience

You provide tables, chairs, plates, and utensils. We handle everything else.

Your chef arrives at the agreed start time — punctuality is a standard we take seriously.

Once on-site, setup takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The grill is assembled, ingredients are prepped, and everything is laid out before the first dish is started. The show begins immediately after setup — expect a smooth, professional experience from the moment your chef walks through the door.

Booking takes under five minutes. Head to our booking page, pick your date, fill in your event details — guest count, address, dietary needs, protein choices, and any add-ons — and pay a $50 deposit to lock in your date. You'll get instant confirmation.

That's it upfront. The $50 deposit is the only amount charged at booking — it holds your date and is applied toward your final total.

The remaining balance is collected after the event — once the meal is complete and the experience has concluded. You pay nothing additional until the show is over.

We accept all major payment methods. Your total will be confirmed before the event so there are no surprises — you'll know the exact number before your chef even arrives.

The $50 deposit holds your date and is applied toward your final balance — it is not an extra charge.

If you need to reschedule, we'll work with you to find a new date at no extra cost. For cancellations, please contact us as early as possible. Refund eligibility depends on how close to the event date the cancellation is made — reach out to hello@sogood-hibachi.com and we'll handle it directly.

Gratuity is not included in the per-person price. An 18–20% tip for your chef is standard for private chef events and is genuinely appreciated — your chef spends hours preparing, performing, and making your night memorable.

By default, tables and chairs are the host's responsibility — along with plates and utensils. Here's the exact breakdown:

Both. We're fully equipped to cook in either setting — we adapt to your space.

Outdoor is our preferred setup — open air, natural ventilation, and the full dramatic effect of the fire show. Backyards, patios, and covered terraces all work perfectly.

Indoor is absolutely possible — with a few things to keep in mind:

• Good ventilation is important — windows or a door open near the cooking area
• Temporarily disable or cover any smoke detectors directly above the grill
• At least 6 feet of open space around the grill on all sides

Not sure if your space works? Reach out before booking and we'll help you figure it out.

Guest safety is our first priority. Here is our current allergen information:

• ✕ No nuts — not used in any part of our preparation or menu
• ✕ No sesame — not present in our standard menu
• ✓ Gluten-free options are available — please request at time of booking
• ✓ Custom dietary requests are welcome with advance notice

Please disclose all food allergies or intolerances in the booking form. Your chef will be fully briefed on your party's requirements before arriving at your event.

We accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. Just let us know when you book and we'll make sure every guest at the table is taken care of.

Have a specific requirement not listed? Contact us before booking — we'll let you know what we can do for your group.

Absolutely — no meat, no problem. Our plant-based guests receive the same full experience at the same price.

For guests opting out of meat, we serve:

• Tofu — grilled fresh on the hibachi, seasoned to order
• Extra fresh vegetables — cooked and seasoned tableside
• Hibachi fried rice — prepared right in front of you
• The full fire show and entertainment — same as everyone else

Same price. Same energy. Just let us know when you fill out your booking form.

Yes — we require a minimum of 8 guests per event. Our experience is designed for groups, and the energy of the show grows with the crowd.

There is no maximum. Larger parties are absolutely welcome — we'll discuss logistics at the time of booking to make sure everything is set up properly.

We currently operate out of two markets — Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Here's every area we cover in each:

Don't see your city? Contact us at hello@sogood-hibachi.com — if we can get there, we will.

The exact fee is confirmed and agreed upon before your booking is finalized.
