    Brandon getting down on the flat iron. Great tasting vegetables, flavorful and crispy
    Kimberly G.

    I have never given a 5-star review, but Brandon & Llave did an awesome job. Personality, Service, Humor, chief kiss on the food, my filet mignon tender, juicy and so flavorful, fried rice, vegetables all top tier. They put the show over the top for my daughter's surprise birthday

    This was a wonderful experience. SO easy, and with complete set up and service. Bianca was wonderful to work with and also Chef Isaac was fantastic. Would recommend over and over.

    I just wanted to send Hibachi Catering a giant THANK YOU! We had our party last night and every guests said it was the best that they have ever been to! Our chef was outstanding! He truly loves his job and he is great at it!! Chef Said went above and beyond with arrival time, set up, cooking, entertainment, kindness, humor, professionalism, clean up and removal of all the equipment. He didn't leave a trace. I cannot say enough about him ... he was absolutely amazing! Your company has been terrific. The website, your attention to detail, the follow-up and the execution was like no other. I'm amazed, along with every guest at our party! I would like to sincerely thank you. I highly recommend your company to anyone that enquirers ... OUTSTANDING!

    Benihana style food!

    Chef Kevin and Chef Carlo cooked us an awesome hibachi dinner for my wife's 4th of July bday. They're good people, kind, and funny too! Food was a lot and so good! They drove 2 hours from Temecula to Palm Springs area. We couldn't be more grateful for them bringing Benihana style food to us! Thank you guys! We will definitely recommend to friends and family!

    This is the first course and you can see already how much Junior was spilling in the table and linens.

    UPDATE: My faith is completely restored in this company. Got a call back from Jessica one of the managers who spoke to the GM. She listened and was compassionate and Hibatchi Catering did everything they could to make everything right. When a company does this, they are completely worthy. Thank you! Words can't express how disappointed I am with Hibatchi Catering. Junior one of the cooks showed up high as a kite. I can roll with that, but it obviously effected what happened. Starting out, the seats were so close together that you were practically sitting on the person next to you. They served the salad dry. Three people who ordered Miso soup didn't get any at all (I paid $6/person for soup/salad) and they didn't have enough spoons. Junior cooked the filet and the other steaks and chopped them all up together. I paid for filet for 10 people and it was mixed with the other meat. Also he asked how we wanted our meat cooked everyone said either medium rare or rare and everyone got medium or more. 5 people didn't get the meat they ordered Junior said, "my bad." I got up and gave my meat to two of my guests. Junior was so high spilled everything, 1 guest got soy sauce flung on her white jacket from him and I got oil on my pants flung from him. One person didn't get the lobster they ordered and two didn't get shrimp. Mind you I pre-ordered everything, I even made place cards with what each person ordered to make it easy for them and even after I pointed it out he kept asking people what they ordered. There was no fire show except to light the onion. Even Junior's partner looked embarrassed. Almost $2300 for 9 people to not get half of their meal is shameful. I am beyond embarrassed, lucky my friends are good company and good sports. I am a usually a massive tipper, but not in this instance, I gave them $340 tip but he deserved nothing. Find another company please don't use Hibatchi! I called to discuss and they said someone will call me, will update if they call back.

    Hibachi Catering was so great! I reached out to them for my 35th birthday dinner. From booking to scheduling they were so easy to work with and so nice. Day of they arrived on time and did set up. Johnny was our chef and not only was the food amazing but the entertainment was also fantastic. They brought everything, tables/chairs/linens and they were even able to coordinate the color scheme I wanted. Highly recommend booking them for your next event! 10/10

    Table set up

    Exceeded expectations! Food was delicious and entertaining. We were a small party of 9 celebrating a 88th birthday end everyone was pleased. Definitely hope to use their services again!!

    We hired this Hibachi company for dinner during a bachelorette party and it was so much fun! Brandon was such a a great time he took great care of us and made sure that we not only had delicious food but, that we were entertained and having a great time. I cannot recommend this place enough. I know that we will be using them any time we come to Palm Springs and requesting Brandon to be out chef. Thank you Brandon! We had a blast! P.S. SO MUCH FOOD!!

    They did it again! I used Hibachi Catering a couple years ago for my dad's surprise party and it was one of his favorite birthdays ever! The food and service was excellent which is why I decided to reach out to them again for my daughter's 1st birthday party. We went with the buffet style for 30 people since we had about 50 guests (we also had other food catered as well from other vendors). The team at Hibachi were very responsive and attentive to every question I had. On the day of the party, I was surprised that only one gentleman showed up since I was told the food would be ready quickly. However, I didn't need to be concerned. The chef (I'm sorry I didn't get his name) cook efficiently and quickly, and he honestly kicked butt by himself. He made sure food was constantly prepped, and the chafers were filled with food. We had steak, chicken, fried rice, gyoza, sauces, etc! He was a huge hit at the party! We also had a bunch of leftovers! People raved about what a unique experience this was and how much they loved the food! I will definitely be using them again and again for future party needs !

    See all

    Ask the Community - Hibachi Catering

    What does the price include? I see that set up with tables, chairs, plates, etc. are included, is there anything we need to provide besides drinks and dessert? Is there a fire show after that is included as well? Thank you!

    Does the entire party have to order the same option?

    No! You can each order different things and the portions are generous!

    Do you do intimate dinners for two or is there a minimum amount of guests that have to be part of it?

    Hi Kylie, Minimum Guest Count: 12 guest minimum for reservations made Friday through Sunday. An 8 guest minimum for reservations made Monday through Thursday.

    Hello, seeing if you're available this upcoming Tuesday evening for about 10 people?

    It's best to call and reserve, since the time frame is limited.

    When you enter event time, Is that the time you arrive to start setup or is that the time guest can be seated to eat?

    The start time is the time you are seated for the chef to cook and eat. Hibachi Catering would arrive 30 mins to 1 hour before the start time to setup.

    Do you decorate yourself when you cater events or do you know of someone who does the decorating while you host an event?

    When booking with Hibachi Catering we provide the entire setup, from tables & chairs to linens and utensils and provide full clean up for a small per person fee.

    How do you get a hold of someone? They dont reply to reservations requests. I have tried calling as well.,

    Please call the main office phone number at (951) 326-9602 or email the office at hibachicater@gmail.com They are more than happy to help and answer all your questions.

I'm write restaurant reviews for a living and was not quite sure what to expect but Jim was spectacular. Our group included 9 adults and 5 children. For breakfast we awoke to breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage and made to order omelettes customized to order. Lunch was a delicious halibut ceviche and tostones (smashed fried plantains) with a spring salad topped with mango, red peppers, sunflower seeds and goat cheese. Dinner was a surf and turf of beef tenderloin with a chimichuri sauce, whipped potatoes, fresh zucchini, and grilled halibut. The plating was beautiful and the tenderloin was cooked to perfection. If you are looking for a private chef for any occasion, I give his service 5 stars. I also appreciate that the food was fresh, healthy, and incredibly delicious. I included some photos.

The charred bok choy was a new taste to me, brilliant. Followed by the best Key Lime Pie I've ever had in mason jars. Day 2: Chef Jim continued to impress. Avacado toast appetizers fabulous. Dinner of beef tenderloin with chimchurri - the meat was like butter. Silken mash potatoes and grilled veggies were massive hit even with the kids! Dairy free lava cake for dessert super fantastic. Day 3: He cooked pork belly for 30 hours in a sous vide. After one bite of his pork belly in Char Siu sauce my wife said, "just when you think it can't be any better, he does it again." Day 4: We will finish our family trip with a Seafood Boil. Can't wait. His menu offerings provide a nice ecclectic list of choices from super healthy vegan to what can satisfy the demanding carnivore. I hope to have the opportunity to hire him again in the future.
