Chef Jun recently catered my friend's bachelorette party, and it was one of the highlights of the trip! He drove from OC to Palm Springs and arrived in very a timely manner to set up the teppanyaki dinner. The meal (miso soup, filet mignon, scallops, shrimp, and fried rice) was so delicious, and we all had a good laugh trying to catch the flying shrimp in our mouth. Thank you for braving the heat with us and ensuring we had a great time! I would absolutely recommend and hire again :) read more

Thank you so much Chef Jun for such a memorable 11th birthday dinner for my son! Everyone enjoyed the teppanyaki show and delicious meal! Prior to the party, he responded quickly and answered all my questions. We picked Chef Jun because we wanted to know the specific chef who would be handling our event (compared to other huge teppanyaki companies that have many different chefs that could be assigned to the party). We're so glad we hired Chef Jun. Chef Jun arrived on time and early to set up. He brought all his equipment & cookware in a very organized cart. The plates, silverware, chairs/tables, cloth napkins, and even the cute chopstick holders were all included. The show was fun to watch and he was able to keep a full table of boys entertained. He involved each of them in a food toss too, lots of fun! The food was delicious - we ordered the steak, chicken, and shrimp option - the grand finale of fried rice was truly enjoyed by all. At the end, he packed up everything and left his area clean & spotless! Our friends asked for his business card and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a high quality and memorable backyard teppanyaki party! read more

There is no task too big to handle for Chef Jun. He served 17 adults and 13 children as a one man show. He brings his own tables, chairs, table settings, napkins. He even brought vases of fresh flowers. His timing was impeccable. Kids got their show and served first at the kids table. Then adults were free to enjoy themselves. But the best part of the night was the sushi bar starter. Omg. Melt in your mouth sushi. Better than any high end restaurant. It was a great way to start the night while guests were slowly trickling in. He was very engaging with all the guests. Can't wait to try his yakitori next time. So fun! read more

Best Sushi & Teppanyaki! We just had an amazing dinner catered at my Sister-in-Laws house by Chef Jun, and I have to say, it was incredible!

The Teppanyaki was just as good. The steaks were so flavorful and tender, and the chicken was incredibly moist. Everyone loved it! I'm definitely recommending Chef Jun to everyone.

Chef Jun is elite. He catered my mom's birthday and made it such a special celebration. Everything was perfectly cooked - tender, juicy and flavorful.

Jun cooked yakitori for my soccer team's end of the year party. He brought all of his own high quality charcoals and a huge supply of chicken and vegetable skewers. The care that he put into his cooking goes above and beyond most any other chef. We left the party with zero excess food. Everyone commented on the spectacular salad dressing. The fried rice was gone in a flash. The entire party was very very happy with the food and the atmosphere of the party with Jun cooking in the center of all the activity made for a very special occasion. Kids and adults alike were celebrated in Jun's excellent food! Please make your occasion special by having Jun be a part of it! read more

My husband and I love hosting friends and family but DAMN it's a lot of work. Enter Chef Jun who is a one man show that comes 1000% prepared, from tables, chairs, and linens to soup, salad, and the highest quality ingredients for your personalized teppanyaki experience. This guy is an experienced chef and it shows in the cooking. Only a talented chef can make simple foods taste deliciously memorable. We've had him cater two dinners at our house and everyone was wowed and stuffed. His service is equally impressive and professional. We've known Jun for many years and he has only ever been kind and helpful. Hanabi will not disappoint whether you go sushi, teppanyaki, yakitori, etc. Pro tip, ask Jun for a double helping of his salad dressing to save for later. It's the best! read more

I've had the privilege of having Jun doing in house teppanyaki on two separate occasions. The first time the weather was sunny and the second time it was raining! Jun was a consummate professional on both occasions. The food was great and much better quality than Benihana and other teppanyaki restaurants. Quality is legit and Jun is great. Really enjoyed both experiences, regardless of the weather. read more

We were delighted to have used Chef Jun Kim for our mom's 90th birthday celebration last month. We knew Chef Jun previously and he was outstanding in every aspect of our catered teppanyaki lunch. From his pre-party visit to go over catering details to menu finalizing and post party cleanup, Chef Jun was professional from start to finish. As far as quality of the hibachi food (filet and shrimp with lobster added), it's as good as any teppanyaki meal I've had previously.

Jun is a fantastic chef! The best sushi and habachi you can find! He gives a wonderful dining experience with the finest ingredients! We had a family celebration with him and we had a blast! He's very personable, accommodating and a joy to have in your home. His prices are reasonable. He was also able to get into a small space which is great if you don't have a large backyard. He checks it out too before the date to assure he can fit his grill. We look forward to having him again in the near future! One warning...be prepared to get stuffed with delicious food! read more
