Hibachi Restaurants
OKKO has the grill tables; the others cook hibachi plates in the kitchen alongside a full sushi menu.
The island’s hibachi-grill restaurant: the chef cooks at your table, and dinners come with soup, salad, fried rice and vegetables. Book a hibachi table on Tock in half-hour slots from about 4:30 p.m.; it is the go-to for birthdays.
A small, new sushi and hibachi spot with low prices and quick, friendly service; reviewers like the hibachi chicken and the Godzilla roll. Closed Mondays.

All-you-can-eat sushi on Pope Avenue, with hibachi, ramen and burgers for anyone who doesn’t want raw fish, and a full bar.

A chef brings the grill to your rental and cooks on the patio or driveway.
$55, $75 or $95 a guest (the top menu adds lobster tail), $30 for kids, with a $550 minimum and a 20 percent service charge. Tables, chairs and place settings come with it, and a party of four is fine.

About this list
Hibachi in Hilton Head comes in three forms. OKKO on Mathews Drive is the island’s hibachi-grill restaurant, where a chef cooks steak, chicken and shrimp on the table in front of you; several sushi restaurants also serve hibachi plates from the kitchen, which is cheaper and quicker but comes without the show.
The other two are only-on-vacation ideas. A private hibachi chef brings the grill to your rental and cooks on the patio, which works well for a big family or a birthday, and the price usually includes tables, setup and cleanup. Or eat it on the water: Island Head’s hibachi dinner cruise cooks on a grill aboard a catamaran out of Broad Creek Marina. More dinner cruises are on the Hilton Head dinner cruises page.
For sushi, ramen and the rest of the island’s Japanese, Chinese and Thai food, see sushi and Asian restaurants.
