Hibachi Royal’s birthday tableside course is built for hosts who want a signature dining room feel—not a generic “cook at home” kit. Guests still pick two proteins from the core list (chicken, steak, shrimp, vegetarian, scallops, salmon), but the birthday plate that photographs and paces cleanly is the shrimp and chicken signature combo: shrimp for a bright seafood closer, chicken for a reliable sear that feeds a mixed-age table, plus fried rice, hibachi vegetables, and salad under one chef pass.
Why shrimp + chicken works as a birthday signature plate
Birthday tables often mix kids, grandparents, and guests who skip shellfish or red meat. Shrimp and chicken keep the two-protein ticket inside Hibachi Royal’s standard structure while still reading as a composed signature plate: chicken gets a firm sear early; shrimp are held for a late pull so they stay juicy. That is different from stacking lobster or filet upgrades for every seat—hosts can keep the birthday headcount on the included proteins and reserve filet or lobster for the guest of honor only.
Tell the booking note you want “shrimp and chicken signature combo” for most seats (and list any filet/lobster substitutes by name) so tray prep matches the plate you expect when the chef opens the steel.
Chef showmanship and premium add-on paths
Signature dining at Hibachi Royal is pacing plus showmanship: aromatics and vegetables open the steel, fried rice follows with a controlled flame finish, chicken sears while shrimp wait, then seafood closes the pass. Guests stay seated around the tableside grill—the birthday moment is the course, not a buffet line.
When someone wants a premium add-on, the live menu still splits substitute vs side: filet mignon is +$5 as a substitute or +$15 as a side; lobster tail is +$10 as a substitute or +$15 as a side; noodles +$4; other sides typically +$10. For a birthday shrimp-and-chicken table, the cleanest path is shrimp + chicken as the two included proteins, then one filet or lobster upgrade only for the birthday guest if you want a showpiece closer.
