Live Hibachi Catering in Columbia

Hibachi at Home in Columbia

Columbia has two speeds — state capital mode and USC graduation mode — and both of them involve backyard events. The government professionals who host client dinners on their Lake Murray properties. The families who drive in from Greenville, Charleston, and Charlotte in May to watch their son or daughter walk across the Williams-Brice stadium stage. The graduation parties that start at noon and run until the neighbors come over to watch the fire tricks. Private hibachi at home in Columbia brings a certified teppanyaki chef to your property with the full setup and a live cooking performance that makes any Midlands celebration the one your guests plan around.

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 from first flame to final plate — fire tricks, flying shrimp, and every dish cooked to order in front of your guests. For large Columbia graduation events over 25 guests, we bring two chef stations running in parallel. Full cleanup when dinner is done.

Columbia graduation season (May) is our busiest Midlands window — book 3–4 weeks out for Saturday events. Summer and fall weekends book 2–3 weeks ahead. Serving Columbia and all of the Midlands — Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, West Columbia, Camden, and surrounding communities. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum. Most quotes confirmed same day.
