Columbia graduation party for fifty guests. Two chef stations, everything running simultaneously, complete cleanup after. Howard County does milestones right — this format was perfect for what we wanted.

Live Hibachi Catering in Columbia
Hibachi at Home in Columbia
Columbia is Howard County's centerpiece — one of the most intentionally planned and genuinely diverse cities in America, organized around village centers, Columbia Association community spaces, and the principle that neighbors of every background belong at the same table. That principle extends to the graduation parties and milestone dinners hosted in the Wilde Lake, River Hill, and Long Reach backyards where the May celebration for the family's graduating senior means not just the immediate household but the aunts and uncles and cousins who drove from New Jersey and the grandparents who flew from Mumbai. Howard County has the highest median household income of any county in the United States. The graduation culture here matches: dual-station hibachi setups for forty and sixty guests are among our most common Howard County bookings, because the Columbia family does not want a restaurant reservation for eight when the occasion calls for a chef performing for the whole extended family at once.
Your chef arrives with everything: teppan grill, propane, all fresh proteins, fried rice, vegetables, house-made sauces, plates, and chopsticks. For Columbia graduation events over 25 guests, we bring two chef stations running simultaneously. Setup takes 20–30 minutes in your Columbia backyard or outdoor space. The performance runs 90–120 minutes from first flame to final plate. Full cleanup when dinner is done.
Columbia graduation weekends (May–June) book 2–3 weeks ahead — reserve 3–4 weeks ahead for Saturday commencement events. Serving Columbia and all of Howard County — Ellicott City, Owings Mills, Laurel, Clarksville, Fulton, Elkridge, and surrounding communities. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum. Most quotes confirmed same day.

Our Ellicott City anniversary dinner was exactly what we wanted — a private chef at home, premium proteins, the whole performance just for our group. No restaurant comparison. Worth every dollar.

Bar mitzvah celebration dinner in Owings Mills. The format worked beautifully — the whole extended family at the same grill, traditional food preferences respected throughout, and the performance kept the teenagers completely engaged.

Booked for my daughter's graduation in Columbia. Best decision we made. The chef arrived on time, set up completely independently, performed for two hours, and left our backyard cleaner than he found it.
