About Us

Owner-Chef, Brian

Its not every day that chefs are presented with the opportunity to exercise their dreams of owning their own restaurant. Brian's journey as a chef dates back to 2006 when he first was offered the position of sushi chef at the Japanese restaurant he worked for. He was young and eager to learn a form of art that requires a vast (or lifetime) supply of patience. Luckily for Brian, he has and still possesses an unfathomable amount of patience. 

With over 15 years of experience as a chef, Brian's philosophy in the importance of providing quality food has not changed. To this day he still takes the lead when it comes to deciding on vendors and when it comes to the ingredients we purchase. Brian plays the biggest part in the Company's ability to maintain and provide quality food.
