Hibachi at Home in Short Pump

Hibachi at Home in Short Pump

Short Pump is Henrico County's most coveted west end address — the upscale residential neighborhoods, the Short Pump Town Center corridor, and the growing community of Richmond families who have made this part of western Henrico their home. Hibachi at home in Short Pump brings a certified teppanyaki chef to your backyard or outdoor space with the full setup and a live-fire cooking performance that gives any Short Pump gathering a genuine centerpiece. Birthday parties, graduation dinners, and neighborhood celebrations in Short Pump have one format that consistently outperforms every restaurant reservation in the area — and that's having the chef come to you.

Your chef arrives with everything: teppan grill, propane, all fresh proteins, fried rice, vegetables, house-made sauces, plates, and chopsticks. Setup takes 20 minutes on your patio, deck, or backyard. The performance runs 90–120 minutes from first flame to final plate — fire tricks, flying shrimp, and every dish cooked to order at the teppan in front of your guests. For larger Short Pump gatherings over 25, we bring dual chef stations. Complete cleanup when dinner is done. Your property is spotless when the chef leaves.

Short Pump weekend events book 2–3 weeks ahead. Graduation season (May–June) fills fastest. Serving Short Pump and the entire west end Richmond corridor — Glen Allen, Goochland, Wyndham, Henrico County, and Richmond proper. Starting at $60/adult, $30/child, $600 event minimum. Most quotes confirmed same day.

Private hibachi event in Short Pump, VA

"Birthday party in Short Pump — 36 guests, backyard setup, chef had everyone gathered from the first flame. Richmond suburbs have no shortage of options, but none of them bring the entertainment to your house. Best decision we made for that evening."

TW
Thomas & Lynn W.
Short Pump, VA
Birthday Party

"Graduation party in Midlothian — 44 guests, dual stations, relatives in from three states. Chef kept three generations at the grill for two solid hours. Grandparents front row, cousins competing for the flying shrimp. Perfect Richmond family event."

JF
The Johnson Family
Midlothian, VA
Graduation Party

"Anniversary dinner in Richmond — 20 guests on our backyard deck. Chef was outstanding — food, performance, timing, energy. Our guests had never experienced private hibachi before. Now four of them have booked their own events. Would not have changed a single thing about the evening."
