A company team dinner with hibachi catering turns an ordinary office gathering into an evening your colleagues will talk about for weeks. Hibachi Royal brings the chef, grill, food, sake, and entertainment to your home or outdoor space, so the whole team can relax, eat, and celebrate together. This guide walks through the practical side: how many people to invite, what pricing looks like, how indoor service works, and how to keep the evening professional and fun.
Start with the guest count and budget
Hibachi pricing is based on the confirmed guest count, so the first step is agreeing on the number of team members. The current public pricing is $50 per person, $25 per child under 13, with a $500 minimum for all parties, and pricing may vary by location. If your team is still deciding who will attend, our hibachi party guest count guide explains how to pick a number that fits your space and budget.
Choose indoor or outdoor hibachi service
Hibachi Royal cooks indoor and outdoor. Outdoor events work well on balconies, terraces, patios, under awnings, and in backyards. Indoor service is available for customers in New York, New Jersey, Georgia, and Connecticut with ventilation equipment installed in the home. When you book, tell the team you need indoor service so the ventilation setup is planned in advance. For a full comparison, see our indoor vs outdoor hibachi party planning guide.
Confirm the menu and dietary needs early
Each guest receives a side salad, hibachi vegetables, fried rice, and two proteins of their choice. The chef does not cook with nuts or sesame products, and the team asks about allergies at booking time. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests are accommodated — tofu, extra vegetables, salad, and gluten-free sauces are available — so everyone on the team can order something they enjoy. Preview the typical dishes in our signature hibachi dishes guide.
Understand pricing and payment terms
All fees are included in the per-person price except gratuity, with 20% suggested. Payments are cash only, there is no deposit required, and the full payment is due the day of the event. Share the final guest count with the booking team before the dinner so the total is confirmed ahead of time — an expense summary is easy to prepare for the office.
Reserve through the website, phone, or email
Bookings are confirmed through the official channels listed on the site. You can use the Book Online button on the homepage, call 929-568-8888, or email hibachiroyal@gmail.com. Have your date, guest count, location, and any allergy notes ready. If you want a checklist of what to confirm, our private hibachi chef booking questions guide covers the key points, and our step-by-step booking guide walks through the whole reservation process.
Prepare the space and set the schedule
Hibachi Royal provides the chef, grill, food, sake, and entertainment. The host provides the table setup and utensils, so arrange tables, chairs, plates, and cutlery before the chef arrives. For a team dinner, a short welcome toast before the cooking show starts helps everyone settle in. A full walkthrough is in our backyard hibachi party checklist, and first-time hosts can review what to expect at an at-home hibachi dinner to picture the evening.
Make the evening easy for everyone
The chef arrives on time at the reservation time, and setup takes only a few minutes. After setup, the cooking show begins and courses are served in front of your guests. Because payments are collected at the end of the event, designate one person to handle the bill so the team can keep enjoying the show. If anything changes after booking, contact the team early so the date, guest count, or setup can be adjusted.
