Private Hibachi Chef in Santa Cruz

Hibachi at Home & Catering in Santa Cruz

Surf, redwoods and a Boardwalk that never gets old — Santa Cruz is California's beach town, and its backyards are just as fun. Dream Hibachi brings a private hibachi chef to your Santa Cruz home, patio or venue — with the flames, the tricks and the fresh-cooked food that turn a coastal evening into an unforgettable night.

From Downtown Santa Cruz to Seabright, Live Oak and the Westside, Santa Cruz gatherings mix beach-town ease with family warmth. Our mobile grill sets up on patios, decks and backyards across the city, whether it is a birthday after a day on the Boardwalk, a family reunion after a drive down West Cliff, or a summer evening that ends with everyone around the grill instead of the campfire. Cool coastal evenings just mean guests gather closer — and the grill keeps everyone warm.

Adults are $60 per guest, kids ages 5–12 are $30, and little ones ages 1–4 join free. Every party has a $600 minimum, and your date is held once the $100 deposit is paid within 24 hours. Premium upgrades like Filet Mignon and Lobster, plus add-ons like Noodles, Gyoza and Edamame, can make the night even more special. See your full estimate before you reserve — no surprises.
