Real moments from WAVE parties — the hibachi chef's fire show, the proteins we cook, and the backyard setups our guests enjoy across Southern California. Use the filters to browse the show, the food or the setting, and tap any photo to see it full size. Every picture here was taken at a private party where a WAVE hibachi chef brought the grill, cooked dinner in front of the guests and handled the cleanup afterwards.
Every party is a live performance. Your hibachi chef cooks on a portable grill in front of your guests with spatula tricks, fire tricks and the famous onion volcano, then pulls everyone into games like egg ping pong, cucumber toss and sake squirt.
Guests pick two proteins — chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon or tofu, with filet mignon, lobster tail and scallops on Premium. Every plate comes with hibachi fried rice, grilled vegetables, salad and our signature sauces. Add noodles, edamame or gyoza for a bigger feast.
All we need is a flat 10×10 ft space outdoors or in a well-ventilated garage. Table and chair setup is $8 per guest, and we handle setup and cleanup so you can enjoy the party.
The photos above come from birthdays, family reunions, company dinners and backyard celebrations. Kids' parties lean into the games and the fire tricks; weddings and corporate dinners usually pick the Premium package for filet mignon, lobster tail and scallops, an enhanced fire show and a lion dance performance. Big groups of 40 or more often choose our Large Gathering buffet, where the chef prepares a set menu with three proteins for $45 per adult.
Every booking includes the chef, the portable grill, fried rice, grilled vegetables, salad, signature sauces and sake, plus setup and cleanup. Regular parties run about 90 minutes and Premium about 120 minutes. Pricing starts at $55 per adult for Regular, with kids 5–12 at half price and children under 5 free, and a $600 party minimum.
Your hibachi chef arrives about 30 minutes before dinner with a portable propane grill, knives, spatulas and every ingredient. Setup takes a flat 10×10 ft space — a lawn, patio, deck or open garage all work, as the photos show. Once guests are seated, the chef starts with the fried rice and vegetables, then cooks each guest's two proteins to order.
Between courses the chef keeps the show going: tossing shrimp to guests, building the flaming onion volcano, and running egg ping pong and cucumber toss for kids and adults. When dinner is over, the chef cleans the cooking area and packs everything up, so the only thing left behind is a happy crowd. Want a closer look? Ask about an upgrade to lobster tail or filet mignon when you book.
Fire tricks, the onion volcano and guests joining in on the drums and games — the moments people remember long after dinner.
Steak, chicken, shrimp and scallops seared on the grill, smiley-face fried rice, plus gyoza and edamame from our add-on menu.
