I'm Rumla, and I run , where we bring the complete hibachi steakhouse experience directly to backyards, patios, and homes throughout Lakewood and the Denver metro area.

Okay, so here's what's happening all over Lakewood right now. People are realizing that going out to hibachi restaurants has become kind of exhausting, right? You're waiting an hour for a table, the restaurant's packed and loud, parking at Belmar is a nightmare on weekends, and half your party can't even see the chef's tricks from where they're sitting. Meanwhile, you're spending $50+ per person before you even add drinks and tip.
Lakewood families and hosts have discovered something way better: backyard hibachi Lakewood style means the entertainment comes to you. I've done hundreds of events throughout Lakewood—from the tree-lined streets near Green Mountain to modern homes in Solterra, cozy patios in the older neighborhoods off Wadsworth, and spacious backyards near Bear Creek Lake Park. Every single time, hosts tell me the same thing: "This was SO much easier than I expected, and's still talking about it!"
The magic happens because you're controlling everything. Your music, your timeline, your guest list, your drinks, your comfort level. We bring the professional-grade equipment, the expert chef, the premium ingredients, and the full teppanyaki show. Discover our complete mobile hibachi service and you'll see why Lakewood residents are choosing this over traditional restaurant outings for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and just-because celebrations.
Look, I'm genuinely passionate about this because I see how it transforms gatherings. After three years and literally hundreds of events throughout the Denver area, with a huge concentration in Lakewood, I've learned exactly what makes the difference between a good hibachi experience and one that becomes the story your guests tell for months.
Here's my philosophy: backyard hibachi should feel elevated but never stuffy, impressive but never stressful for the host, and authentic to the teppanyaki tradition while being totally accessible. When we come to your Lakewood home, we're not just dropping off food—we're creating an experience that rivals any high-end Japanese steakhouse, except everyone has the best seat in the house.
What sets Love Hibachi apart is simple: we treat your backyard like it's our restaurant for the evening. Professional setup, restaurant-quality ingredients (we're talking premium steak, fresh seafood, organic vegetables), trained chefs who've mastered both the cooking and the entertainment, and complete cleanup that leaves your space cleaner than we found it.
Alright, let me break down what happens when you book Love Hibachi for your Lakewood backyard—because honestly, this is where people get really excited.
The Complete Setup: We arrive with everything. Professional-grade hibachi grill, all cooking equipment, propane, serving pieces, plates if you need them—literally everything required for a full teppanyaki experience. Your job? Point us to where you want the magic to happen. Backyard, patio, driveway, garage (yes, seriously—Colorado weather means we've perfected the garage setup for those unpredictable spring and fall days), even spacious decks.
Premium Ingredients: This isn't grocery store meat, friends. We source restaurant-quality ingredients: USDA choice steak, fresh salmon and shrimp, crisp vegetables, genuine Japanese short-grain rice, and our signature sauces that guests always ask about. Every menu option at Love Hibachi is designed to deliver that authentic steakhouse quality without anyone leaving their property.
The Entertainment Factor: Here's where it gets really fun. Our chefs don't just cook—they perform. Knife tricks, onion volcanos, egg rolls (the catching kind, not the appetizer kind!), shrimp tail tosses, and plenty of interaction that gets everyone laughing and engaged. I've watched the shyest guests light up when the chef includes them in the show, and kids absolutely lose their minds over the tricks.
Zero Stress For You: Honestly, this might be the best part. While your guests are entertained and fed, you're actually enjoying your own party. No standing over a hot grill, no timing side dishes, no coordinating courses, no mountain of dishes afterward. We handle setup, cooking, service, and cleanup. You handle being the hero who threw the most memorable event of the year.
Flexible Timing: We work around YOUR schedule. Want dinner at 6 PM? Perfect. Prefer a 7:30 PM sunset celebration as the Colorado sky does that incredible pink-and-purple thing? We're there. Need lunch service? Absolutely. The flexibility alone makes backyard hibachi in Lakewood worth considering—try getting that kind of accommodation from a restaurant on a Saturday night.
The question I hear most often: "What occasions work for this?" And honestly? The answer is almost everything. I've done backyard hibachi for:
Birthday celebrations where the birthday person felt truly special (not just another crowded restaurant table). Anniversary dinners where couples celebrated with close friends in an intimate setting that felt both fancy and comfortable. Graduation parties where the graduate was the star and family could actually talk without restaurant noise. Family reunions where three generations gathered and everyone from toddlers to grandparents was entertained.
Corporate team events where Lakewood businesses brought colleagues together for something way more memorable than another conference room lunch. Holiday gatherings—Fourth of July parties on the patio, summer cookouts that leveled up dramatically, even New Year's Eve celebrations (nothing says fancy like hibachi at midnight).
Just-because-it's-Tuesday dinners. Seriously! I've had Lakewood families book us just because they wanted to make a regular weeknight special, and honestly, those are some of my favorite events because the joy is so genuine and unexpected.
The beauty of mobile hibachi is that it scales. Intimate dinner for four? We make it feel exclusive and personal. Party of thirty? We bring multiple chefs and create a festival atmosphere. Most Lakewood events fall somewhere in between—usually 10-20 guests—which is that sweet spot where everyone can interact with the chef and each other.
Living at 5,500 feet elevation with 300 days of sunshine? That's prime hibachi weather, friends. I've done events throughout the Denver metro, but Lakewood has this unique advantage—you've got legitimate outdoor living weather from late April through October, and honestly, some gorgeous days even in March and November.
Here's something specific I've noticed after dozens of Lakewood events: those June and July evenings when the sun sets around 8:30 PM are absolutely magical for hibachi parties. We're still grilling at dusk, your string lights are coming on, the temperature's dropping from 85 to a perfect 72 degrees, and guests are so comfortable they don't want the evening to end. That extended Colorado daylight is pure gold for outdoor celebrations.
The elevation also means your guests aren't dealing with oppressive humidity or heat—even mid-summer hibachi events stay comfortable, especially once that evening mountain breeze kicks in. I've cooked in 90-degree heat and still had guests comfortable because it's that dry Colorado heat that doesn't leave you sticky and miserable.
Plus, Lakewood homes generally have great outdoor spaces. Whether it's those established neighborhoods with mature trees providing natural ambiance, newer developments with spacious patios, or properties backing to open space and trails—you've got the perfect backdrop for an elevated dining experience.
Let me walk you through how this actually works, because it's way simpler than people expect.
First, you reach out through our booking page or give us a call. We'll chat about your date, guest count, and any dietary preferences (vegetarian? No problem. Food allergies? We've got you covered. Picky kids? We handle that all the time).
Then we'll discuss your menu options and put together a quote. Pricing is straightforward—usually running less per person than taking everyone to a mid-range hibachi restaurant, and that's before you factor in the convenience, the entertainment value, and not having to tip separately or pay for overpriced drinks.
You confirm your date with a deposit, and we handle the rest. We'll check in a few days before to confirm details and timing. Day-of, we arrive about 45 minutes before cooking time to set up. You literally just show us where to work and then enjoy your event. After everyone's fed and happy, we clean everything, pack up, and disappear—leaving you with happy guests and zero mess.
Love Hibachi serves all of Lakewood—from Green Mountain neighborhoods to Belmar, from the areas near Red Rocks to homes along the Bear Creek corridor. We also cover the entire Denver metro area, including Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Golden, Morrison, Littleton, and throughout Jefferson County.
Whether you're in central Lakewood near Alameda or up near Highway 72, in the newer developments near C-470 or established neighborhoods near Sloan's Lake, we bring the complete hibachi experience to your location. Check out our full service area coverage to see exactly where we travel—chances are excellent we're already regularly serving your area.
Let's talk about what you're probably wondering.The pricing question comes up constantly—I get it, people want to know what they're looking at investment-wise. Here's the honest answer: Our backyard hibachi Lakewood service typically ranges from $50-$75 per person depending on your menu selections and guest count, with a minimum order requirement. When you break it down, you're getting restaurant-quality food, professional entertainment, complete service, and cleanup for less than most Japanese steakhouses charge—and everyone actually has a great view and comfortable seating.
Space requirements?This surprises people: you don't need a massive estate. Honestly, a standard patio or small backyard works perfectly fine. We've done events in townhome patios, condo courtyards, and regular residential backyards. If you've got enough space for your guests to sit comfortably with a table or two, we can make it work. And remember—garages are totally fair game for those iffy weather days.
What about equipment and setup? You provide nothing except the space and maybe tables/chairs for your guests (though we can discuss rental options if needed). We bring literally everything else: grill, propane, all cooking tools, serving pieces, even plates and utensils if you prefer. Your electrical outlet is helpful for lighting if we're working after dark, but it's not required.
Weather concerns in Colorado? Totally valid question. Our peak season is May through September when Lakewood weather is incredibly reliable. For events in April or October, we always have a backup plan—either moving under a covered patio or setting up in a garage with the door open. We've perfected the garage hibachi experience, and honestly, it creates this awesome intimate atmosphere that guests love.
Dietary restrictions or preferences? We handle these all the time. Vegetarian guests get a customized veggie experience that's just as entertaining and delicious. Food allergies? We're careful and communicative about ingredients. Kids who only want chicken and rice? Absolutely not a problem. Just let us know when booking, and we'll ensure everyone's happy.
Here's the thing—life's too short for stressful entertaining and forgettable dinners out. Lakewood has incredible restaurants, sure, but sometimes you want something different. Something where YOU control the vibe, where your guests are truly amazing comfortable, where the food is AND entertaining, and where you're not exhausted afterward from planning and executing everything.
That's exactly what backyard hibachi delivers. It's the fun of a restaurant with the comfort of home. It's impressive without being complicated. It's memorable without being expensive. And honestly? After hosting one Love Hibachi event, most of our Lakewood clients become repeat customers because they realize this is just a better way to celebrate.
