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! The food.. phenomenal. Our group chose steak, salmon, scallops, shrimp, chicken, and sushi.. and it was the best of any I've had! Cooked absolutely to perfection. He came around and loaded everyone's plates with extras after they had all been served. NO shortage of food! Saki shots too! All in all, this was truly the best experience, I cannot recommend Happy Hibachi party, or Leo enough. 1000/10 experience. Very professional, very friendly, great food, very punctual. Sincerely hope to use again in the future! ❤️ Thanks again!

Leo was great! Not only was the food excellent, but he made a real show of it. His juggling skills are incredible and our large group of 15 had an incredible time. We loved the crowd involvement, especially with the Saki water gun! Thank you for such a great time. 5/5 would definitely recommend.

Lindsay and I have been in contact for a few months regarding my sister's Bachelorette trip! Lindsay has been amazing and so patient, and kind!! Our chef was Charlie. He was phenomenal to say the least. If we could give him 1 million stars, we would. He was prompt, respectful of our beach house property and kept us all entertained throughout the entire process. Not to mention the food was beyond fresh! Safe to say I passed along his number to a few bridesmaids who are getting married shortly. Book with Lindsay and Charlie. You will not be disappointed!!!
