PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA
Private Hibachi Chef in
Panama City Beach, FL
Panama City Beach groups are big. Two families in one condo, a reunion in a rental house, a company trip that took over a floor. Our chef brings the grill to your address and cooks for the whole room — and for 20 or more, buffet service keeps it simple.
Where We Cook in Panama City Beach
Most bookings here are larger groups. Here's where we usually end up.
Condo Towers Along Front Beach Road
Balcony, pool deck, or the grilling area most buildings have. We'll work with whatever the property allows — just check with the front desk first.
Beach House Rentals
Laguna Beach, Carillon Beach, and the rental homes on the west end. Yard and deck space make the show easy and setup quick.
Large Groups and Reunions
Twenty guests or more is where buffet style comes in — party trays instead of individual protein picks, so nobody is waiting on their plate.
Pier Park and St. Andrews
Close to the action but staying in for the night. The chef comes to you, so the group doesn't have to split across two restaurant tables.

This was the best experience I could've hoped for, I'm speechless! We went wth Happy Hibachi Party for our 10 year wedding anniversary celebration at the beach in Miramar, FL. Leo was both our host and chef, and he was so friendly and entertaining! Our group included 18 people, 8 of those adults, 10 of those children. The kids had an absolute BLAST and Leo was very engaging and even included them in some of his little tricks. He juggled fire and did a neat fire breathing trick!
