Backyard Hibachi in Knoxville

Hibachi Catering in Knoxville

Knoxville is East Tennessee's largest city and the home of the University of Tennessee flagship — and the private event culture that has grown around it reflects both the Vol identity and the executive and professional community that UT's medical, law, and engineering programs have built here over generations. The Turkey Creek households who want the estate dinner to match the address. The Sequoyah Hills families who have been entertaining for decades and know what quality looks like. The UT graduation party with 50 people attending that needs a format that can scale. Private hibachi catering in Knoxville brings a certified teppanyaki team to your property — West Knoxville, Sequoyah Hills, North Shore, or anywhere in Knox County — with the full setup, premium protein packages, and a live-fire performance built for the Knoxville host.

Your chef arrives with everything: teppan grill, propane, all fresh proteins including premium filet mignon, lobster tail, and Chilean sea bass, fried rice, vegetables, house-made sauces, plates, and chopsticks. For UT graduation and corporate events over 25 guests, we bring dual chef stations. The performance runs 90–120 minutes from first flame to final plate. Full cleanup when dinner is done.

Knoxville UT graduation (May) and football-season weekends (September–November) book 3–4 weeks ahead. Serving Knoxville proper — Sequoyah Hills, West Knoxville, Turkey Creek, North Shore, Farragut, and surrounding Knox County communities. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum.

Private hibachi chef at a Knoxville, TN estate event

"UT graduation party for our daughter — 44 guests at our Sequoyah Hills home. Extended family flew in from four states. Chef set up on the back patio, ran dual stations for the whole group, and had everyone engaged for two hours. Our family has done every kind of graduation celebration. This was the best."
