Newark in May is its own kind of event — graduation season at the University of Delaware turns the entire city into a celebration, and every backyard within ten miles of campus becomes the venue for the party the graduating class has been waiting for. Private hibachi catering in Newark brings a certified teppanyaki chef to your property for graduation parties, family milestones, and corporate events in Delaware's most university-driven city. The format that makes even the most jaded senior class stop looking at their phone.
Your chef arrives with everything: teppan grill, propane, all fresh proteins, fried rice, vegetables, house-made sauces, plates, and chopsticks. The performance runs 90–120 minutes — fire tricks, flying shrimp, and every plate cooked to order in front of your guests. For large Newark graduation events over 25, we bring two chef stations. Full cleanup when dinner is done. Your backyard or venue is spotless when the chef leaves.

"Birthday dinner in our Newark backyard — 28 guests, June evening, absolutely perfect. The chef was personable, professional, and turned what would have been a dinner party into a performance. My guests are still asking for the contact information months later."
