Imagine this: It is a stunning evening in your Tigard backyard, and instead of worrying over grills, you're enjoying yourself right there watching a expert teppanyaki chef craft exceptional hibachi before your family. The entertaining showmanship brings everyone grabbing their phones, the smell of grilling proteins permeates the air, and you're actually part of for your celebration rather than stuck in the kitchen.
My name is Rumla, and I have spent my career perfecting the art of bringing restaurant-quality hibachi experiences directly to homes. After coordinating countless parties in the greater Portland region, I've learned something significant: the best celebrations happen when hosts can actually enjoy their own events.
That is the philosophy behind Love Hibachi, and it is why clients keep returning to us for their biggest celebrations.
Visit Love Hibachi to discover how we are changing the way Tigard families entertain.
Let me share something that might surprise you: at-home teppanyaki isn't just about eliminating the hassle of going out - it is about providing an event so personalized and so impressive that people request it for their own events.
Excited to see what sets truly premium private teppanyaki events apart from the rest?
Award-Winning Hibachi Catering Tigard: The Ultimate Entertainment Experience
Here is what no one tells you about private chef experiences - it's the optimal combination of theatrical cooking and complete control that traditional restaurants simply can't deliver.
When you book Love Hibachi, you are not merely booking someone to cook; you are securing premium service that includes everything from setup to cleanup while you remain the relaxed host.
Remember the last time you dined at a Japanese grill. Okay, the onion volcano was acceptable, but you were probably facing fighting for parking in a crowded lot, noisy atmosphere where you can't hear conversations, and the complete experience felt generic.
Now envision this instead: The aroma of hibachi cooking filling your backyard while you sip wine with friends, no parking stress or reservation battles, just pure entertainment and exceptional food in your own space.
Whereas typical catering companies in the Portland area charge restaurant prices but can't deliver the experience, Love Hibachi combines premium food quality with live entertainment ensuring memories and experiences your guests will talk about for years.
The Love Hibachi approach to backyard hibachi means you get restaurant-quality proteins including filet mignon, shrimp, scallops, and chicken, signature fried rice, grilled vegetables, and noodles prepared fresh, and the flexibility to host on your schedule without restaurant time limits. We're talking about authentic teppanyaki cooking techniques that create signature seared crusts and smoky flavors, the convenience of hosting without any of the traditional stress, and an atmosphere so relaxed and enjoyable that hosts actually get to participate.

What truly separates Love Hibachi's mobile teppanyaki experience in Tigard is our total dedication to quality over shortcuts. We do not bring pre-made frozen components disguised as fresh cooking. In contrast, we provide commercial-grade teppanyaki equipment that delivers authentic hibachi flavor.

Why Love Hibachi Exceeds Restaurant Options Throughout Portland
Let's be honest - when it comes to entertaining and dining, you have many paths. So why is Love Hibachi superior?
Unlike typical catering services throughout the Portland area, Love Hibachi delivers personalization and attention impossible in commercial settings where chefs cook for strangers on tight schedules.
Here is a direct reality check:
Restaurant Experience
Commercial hibachi: Chef performs generic show for mixed strangers, rushes to stay on schedule, and has no personal connection to your group
Our solution: Personal attention from chef who engages your group specifically, customizes entertainment to your vibe, and creates moments impossible in commercial settings
Ingredient Standards
Restaurants: Work within corporate cost structures that limit ingredient quality, use standardized portion sizes that some find too small or large, cannot accommodate dietary restrictions without hassle, and prepare food on tight timelines that sometimes sacrifice quality for speed
Our service: Source the same premium suppliers as Portland's top Japanese restaurants without commercial markup pressure, customize portions to your group's preferences, easily accommodate dietary restrictions and individual preferences, and prioritize quality over speed since we're not flipping tables
Entertainment and Atmosphere
Commercial venues: Crowded rooms where six other tables compete for attention, noise levels that make conversation difficult, generic decor and ambiance you cannot control, and other diners' rowdy bachelor parties or crying children affecting your experience
Love Hibachi approach: Your Tigard space becomes an exclusive private venue, complete control over ambiance from music to lighting to guest list, intimate setting where every guest has a front-row view, and atmosphere that matches your vision whether elegant, casual, or festive
Not like commercial restaurant experiences in Tigard, Love Hibachi provides complete convenience where the experience comes to you, entertainment and quality that rivals or exceeds fine dining, and personalized service impossible in commercial venues delivering just the best parts of restaurant hibachi with none of the drawbacks.
