What people remember most
★★★★★
We loved Phillip!! He did a great job, he was super interactive and made it an enjoyable experience for my friend’s bachelorette!
★★★★★
I was at a friend's place for a gathering, and the chef—seeing that I was Chinese—prepared a special, off-menu dish just for me. It tasted absolutely amazing.
★★★★★
Phillip was fantastic! He was warm, friendly, and very personable, and he did an amazing job making our backyard hibachi party fun and memorable. The food was excellent—the steak, chicken, and scallops were all fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious. Phillip was also incredibly hospitable and engaging. He really brought great energy to the party and kept everyone entertained throughout the evening. Great food, great service, and an awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend Phillip for any backyard hibachi party!
