July in Bellflower means two things on a lot of calendars: Fourth of July (America’s 250th this year, which means bigger gatherings than usual) and World Cup watch parties running through the month. Both occasions usually come with the same question — does someone have to fire up a grill, or can the food just show up ready to eat? Arigato Bato already does the fire-grilling on its own teppanyaki flat-tops every day, which makes it a reasonable stand-in for a backyard cookout without anyone in your group needing to stand over a grill.
The World Cup Bowls For 2 Deal
Arigato Bato’s own delivery and takeout pages list a standing deal built specifically for this: World Cup Bowls For 2, which includes one Chicken Bowl, one Steak Bowl, and two fountain drinks. It’s a real, named combo on the menu — not a generic “feeds two” suggestion — and it’s sized exactly right for two people watching a match or splitting a quick holiday meal without committing to a full Premium plate each. If you’re hosting a small watch party or just want a low-effort dinner for two on a holiday afternoon, this is the most direct option to order.
Scaling Up for a Bigger Group
If you’re hosting more than two people for July 4th or a watch party with a full group around the TV, the World Cup Bowls For 2 deal is a good anchor to multiply rather than a hard ceiling — order it twice for four people, for example, and you’ve got two Chicken Bowls, two Steak Bowls, and four drinks without needing to figure out a custom group order from scratch. For a table that wants more variety than bowls alone, mix in one of the five Premium plates:
- Premium 1 ($54.90) — Scallops / Lobster / Shrimp
- Premium 2 ($49.95) — Filet Mignon / Chicken / New York Steak
- Premium 3 ($54.90) — Filet Mignon / Lobster / Shrimp
- Premium 4 ($48.95) — Salmon / Ahi Tuna / Sole Fish
- Premium 5 ($49.75) — New York Steak / Chicken / Shrimp
A Premium plate or two alongside a couple of World Cup Bowls For 2 combos gives a watch-party table both the casual, easy-to-eat bowl option and a fire-grilled centerpiece plate for anyone who wants the full dinner experience while the match is on.
Shareable Starters for a Crowd Around the TV
Food that’s easy to eat one-handed while watching a match matters more than usual in July. Arigato Bato’s appetizer line works well for that: Fried Gyoza, Spicy Edamame, Shrimp Tempura ($9.95), Vegetables Tempura ($6.75), and Yaki Tofu ($9.95) are all easy to set out on a coffee table or counter and pick at between plays, the same way you’d treat chips and dip at a typical Fourth of July spread — except everything here comes off a teppanyaki grill instead of a bag.
Why This Works as a Grill Alternative
The entire pitch behind Arigato Bato’s “fresh fire, not frozen food” positioning is that the cooking method is already doing what a backyard grill does — high-heat, flat-top searing on real cuts of steak, chicken, and seafood — except someone else is running the grill and cleaning it afterward. For a Fourth of July host who doesn’t want to deal with charcoal, propane, or a sink full of greasy tongs on a holiday, ordering Premium plates and bowls accomplishes the same “fire-grilled protein” result without any of the setup or cleanup.
A Note on What This Isn’t
To be direct about it: Arigato Bato doesn’t currently publish a dedicated catering menu, party platter, or large-format holiday package on its website or ordering page. If you’re feeding a large backyard party of fifteen-plus people, the practical move is to order multiple Premium plates and bowls individually, or call the restaurant directly at (562) 202-9710 to ask about handling a bigger order. What this page is not going to do is promise a catering program that doesn’t exist yet — the World Cup Bowls For 2 deal and the Premium plate lineup are the real tools available right now, and they cover a typical household or watch-party-sized group well.
Ordering for the Holiday
Because July 4th and World Cup match days both tend to compress everyone’s ordering window into the same hour, it’s worth ordering ahead through Arigato Bato’s direct ordering page rather than waiting until kickoff or showtime. Direct orders skip third-party marketplace fees and go straight into the kitchen’s queue for Priority Pickup, which matters more on a holiday when call-in and walk-in volume both spike at once.
The Bottom Line
You don’t need a grill, a cooler, or a cleanup plan to put together a fire-grilled spread this July. Arigato Bato’s World Cup Bowls For 2 deal covers a quick meal for two, the five Premium plates scale up for a bigger table, and the shared appetizers round out a watch-party spread — all without anyone in your group standing over hot coals on a holiday. Order ahead, skip the fees, and let the kitchen handle the grilling this year.
