What a delicious evening having dinner cooked by Hibachi Nearby. Scott is a masterful cook of all things hibachi - fried rice, vegetables and protein choices like shrimp, chicken, scallops, salmon, or steak. It was a relaxed pace and friendly interchange of pleasant conversation throughout the dinner. Everyone was pleased and VERY full.

Scott was great!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with our at home hibachi dinner! Chef Scott was incredible from start to finish.The food was fresh, flavorful, and he made some of the best salmon I’ve ever had. He made the entire evening so much fun, not just for the adults, but for the kids too. Everyone was laughing and engaged throughout the show hilarious water gun filled with sake for the adults, which made the experience even more memorable. If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate a birthday, family gathering, or special occasion, I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Chef Frank came to our rental house for a private hibachi dinner for a party of 9, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.<br><br>He was professional, personable, and put on a fantastic hibachi show that had everyone laughing and engaged. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and there was plenty for everyone.<br>What really stood out was how easy he made everything. He handled the setup, cooking, entertainment, and cleanup seamlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the evening with our family and friends.<br><br>If you're considering a private hibachi chef for a vacation, birthday, family gathering, or any special event, Chef Frank is worth every penny. He traveled to us without any issues and delivered an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing private hibachi experience.
Chef Frank was awesome! Great food and experience all around- highly recommend. Portions were also very generous! Thank you Chef for making the experience a great one!
Chef Frank was phenomenal! Very personable. The Hibachi food was delicious!<br>I highly recommend him as a chef for your next event.<br>He made my 75 th birthday very special!
Lion was amazing! He made everything personal and it just was an amazing expierience. Would do this everyday if I could.
Frank was great! good food, good time!
Our chef Frank was amazing! It was 104 degrees and he cooked like a trooper! He was wonderful with adults and the kids and made everyone feel included! The food was amazing and cooked to perfection! I highly recommend him for your next hibachi party!
First time leaving a review in decades bc it was that great.<br><br>We had Chef Lion come to our house in Kure Estates, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.<br><br>The vibe was amazing, the meal was outstanding, and the entire dinner felt relaxed, fun, and very family-friendly. The adults loved every bite, and the kids were completely blown away.<br><br>As a family, one of our favorite traditions is going to an incredible Japanese hibachi restaurant in Naples, Florida (Ninja). It is something the kids look forward to more than almost anything. After this meal, they all said Lion was even better.<br><br>That pretty much says it all.<br><br>Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special, memorable private dining experience that works just as well for adults as it does for kids.
Frank was super nice! Our family had a wonderful time! Was a great gift for Father’s Day!
