Eugene in May is graduation season — University of Oregon families converging on the Willamette Valley from Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and beyond, every backyard within driving distance of campus transformed into a celebration venue for the graduating class. Private hibachi at home in Eugene brings a certified teppanyaki chef to your property for graduation parties, milestone birthdays, and family celebrations in Oregon's most university-driven food city. The format that makes even the most distracted Duck senior put down the phone and pay attention.
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 Eugene graduation events over 25, we bring two chef stations. Full cleanup when dinner is done. Your backyard or property is spotless when the chef leaves.

Eugene's University of Oregon graduation season brings families together for celebrations that deserve more than a restaurant reservation — and private hibachi at your backyard or Springfield-area property delivers exactly that. Our certified chefs handle all the setup, cook a show-stopping teppanyaki dinner for your group, and clean up completely before they leave. Duck families and Eugene hosts agree:
Check Availability"Graduation party in Salem — 44 guests, large backyard, two chef stations. Family came from Bend, Portland, and Eugene. Chef ran both stations and had every generation gathered around the grill the entire evening. Grandparents front row, grandkids asking questions, college friends cheering every trick. Best celebration we've hosted."
"University of Oregon graduation dinner — 38 guests in our Eugene backyard, one chef station plus premium protein upgrades. Chef arrived early, set up faster than expected, and ran a two-hour show that had every UO grad and family member at the table the entire time. Zero restaurant logistics. Every dish exactly right."
"Anniversary dinner at our McMinnville rental — 18 guests, wine country estate, chef was outstanding. The Willamette Valley backdrop, the teppan performance, the premium proteins — it was precisely the evening we wanted and nothing we could have replicated at any McMinnville restaurant. Booked again for next summer."
