Lafayette, Indiana is the urban counterpart to Purdue's West Lafayette campus — and every Purdue Commencement weekend, Lafayette becomes the city where visiting families who couldn't find a restaurant reservation in West Lafayette look for dinner. Downtown Lafayette's arts district, Riehle Plaza, Columbian Park, the Moses Fowler House historic corridor, and a residential community with strong home entertaining traditions all create demand for private dining that goes beyond what the Wabash River corridor's restaurant scene can serve on peak graduation weekends.
Our private hibachi chef service serves the full Lafayette market: graduation overflow dinners for families who are hosting Purdue relatives from out of state and want an occasion that doesn't require a reservation at a restaurant that doesn't have one; corporate catering events for Tippecanoe County businesses and professional groups; birthday parties and anniversary dinners at Lafayette homes where the backyard setting is already excellent and the chef completes it. We arrive with everything — teppan grill, propane, all proteins, fried rice, vegetables, sauces, plates, and chopsticks — and leave with everything when the dinner is done.
Lafayette graduation season (May–June) and Purdue football weekend events book 3–4 weeks ahead. Corporate holiday events October through December: 3–5 weeks. Standard Lafayette occasions: 2–3 weeks. Serving Lafayette and all of Tippecanoe County — West Lafayette, Frankfort, Crawfordsville, Delphi, Attica, and surrounding Central Indiana communities. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum.

Lafayette hosts understand Purdue graduation season from both sides of the Wabash — as the nearest large city to campus, Lafayette absorbs the graduation dinner overflow when Tippecanoe County restaurants are uniformly full. Private hibachi at your Lafayette home is the solution. Here's what Lafayette hosts are saying:
Check Availability"Purdue graduation weekend in Lafayette — we hosted thirty family members from out of state who couldn't secure a reservation anywhere in Tippecanoe County. The private hibachi chef came to our Lafayette home, set up in the backyard, and ran a complete teppanyaki performance for the whole family. Riehle Plaza restaurants were turning people away that Saturday. We were not one of them. Already booked for next Commencement."
"Corporate catering event for our Tippecanoe County team of twenty-eight. The chef set up at our company's outdoor space and ran a complete show — fire tricks, flying shrimp, premium proteins — for two hours. Lafayette has solid restaurant options but nothing that brings a certified teppanyaki chef to your venue. This is the team appreciation format that actually creates memory."
"Birthday party in our Lafayette backyard for twenty-two neighbors. The chef was exceptional — performance, proteins, the complete show. Columbian Park area, summer evening, the kind of gathering that the neighborhood still references. We'd been recommending the city's restaurant scene for birthday dinners for years. We'll be recommending this instead from now on."
