I started working in restaurants fulltime as a dishwasher to pay for bills when I was attending SJSU as a computer science major. This is when my passion for cooking and customer service was found and I ended up working at over 5 different restaurants learning as much as I could, already deciding that I had to open up my own food business sometime. I kept working in restaurants until I graduated and I ended up getting a full time 9-5 job in San Francisco as a software developer for Zillow. The corporate life was great, much less stressful and chaotic, and to speak freely, the money was considerably more attractive… but it just wasn’t the same, the pleasure of feeding people and giving them a great experience couldn’t be replaced. There wasn’t a better feeling than having a guest telling you that their service and food was amazing.

I ended up picking up shifts again at restaurants on weeknights after my 9-5 and on weekends, and also cooking Omakase meals for friends, family, and coworkers, creating a variety of recipes. When COVID hit and I had to work remotely, I had too much time on my hands and decided to go all-in, leaving corporate life, and starting my catering business. The recipes I made during that time are the same ones I’ll be serving to you here. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it and it’ll make your day at the office, giving me that same amazing feeling I felt when I was 19 years old.

Our menu here focuses on Asian Fusion Cuisine, ranging from street finger food Bao Buns, to larger fulfilling rice bowls/plates. All recipes have different influences from all the different restaurants I’ve worked at, and my mother’s cooking… Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipinx, and a pinch of South American cuisine.
