Can you handle a large multigenerational family celebration in Ocean Grove?

Absolutely — groups of 20–60 guests are our specialty in Central New Jersey. For parties over 25, we bring two chef stations running simultaneously. Three generations around the grill — kids, parents, and grandparents — is our most common Central NJ setup.

Do you serve Ocean Grove and surrounding Central NJ communities?

Yes — Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth, and Ocean Counties are active service areas. Ocean Grove and all surrounding towns fall within our standard radius with no extra travel fee in most cases.

Is hibachi appropriate for cultural celebrations and large family events?

Absolutely — we regularly serve South Asian celebration dinners, graduation parties, quinceañeras, and large extended family events. Our chefs are experienced with diverse event formats, large group dynamics, and adapting to the energy of each event.

Can you set up at a rented venue or outdoor event space?

Yes — as long as the venue has a flat outdoor area of at least 10×10 ft and permits open-flame cooking. Many NJ event halls, community centers, and catering venues have outdoor spaces well-suited for hibachi. We coordinate directly with your venue if needed.

How early should I book for May or June graduation events?

Graduation season is our busiest window in Central NJ. Book 5–8 weeks ahead for any May or June Saturday event. Weekday graduation dinners have more availability — 2–3 weeks is typically sufficient. Confirm early and lock your date.

What proteins are available for a large family event?

Every guest chooses 2 proteins: chicken, steak (sirloin), shrimp, scallops, salmon, or tofu. Premium upgrades — filet mignon and lobster tail — are available at an additional cost. For very large groups, we can pre-coordinate protein selections to keep service smooth.

Private Teppanyaki in Ocean Grove

Where Every Ocean Grove Celebration Becomes an Actual Event

In Ocean Grove, celebrations are not casual dinners — they are events. Private hibachi at home brings the scale and spectacle to match. A certified teppanyaki chef comes to your home with the full setup — 10 guests or 60, one station or two. The food is freshly grilled in front of your crowd. The chef makes the whole evening a show.

Every guest picks two proteins at the standard $60/adult rate: chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, or tofu. Premium upgrades — filet mignon, lobster tail, scallops — are available for any event. For groups over 25, we deploy dual chef stations to keep pace with the crowd. Fried rice, vegetables, and house-made sauces round out every plate.

Graduation season (May–June) is our busiest time in Ocean Grove and all of Central NJ — book 4–6 weeks ahead for Saturday events. All other occasions: most quotes are confirmed same-day. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 minimum.

"Graduation party in Edison — 48 guests, two chef stations, three generations of family. Chef had my 80-year-old grandfather and my daughter's college friends all cheering at the same grill at the same time. Doesn't happen at any restaurant."
